WE ARE PROGRESSING
There has just been added to the federal
statutes a new law defending the people
against the encroachments of corporations.
It is the fourth in a series of laws having
the same end in view. When the railway
rate bill passed into the perfected stage
of legislation it put the capstone upon a
structure of laws designed to check cor
porate ruthlessr.ess.
The first of the series was the inter
state cn-ninerce law, enacted in 1887.
It was at best a feeble measure because
it was snorn of its effect in large part by
designing men acting in the interest of
corporations. The commission was given
the power to declare but not the authority
to enforce ir. full degree. The commis
sion could not upset a ate fixe J by a
railroad but could supply another. The
commission was flouted openly by the
railroad and defied in the courts and its
decisions were often upset.
Yet all the time it was doing good work
for the people and was calling attention
to the evils that existed and that could
be. cured by adequate legislation, . In one
respect the commission performed very
valuable service; it -pointed out . through
its hearings and decisions, abuses that
obtained and whetted the' appetite of
shippers and the public for remedral leg
islation. .'r--f :
SHERMAN ANTI-TRUST LAijjl" . .
The next great enactment in' the same
line was the Sherman anti-trust law of
1890. For a long time it; - remained., a
dead letter, practically, on the statute
books. The .corporations' laughed at it
Gigantic trusts were formed and carried
on their operations openly and boldly.
The people complained from time to time,
but the trusts paid no attention to their
mutterings and went gaily along with the
big game. Finally, the boldest stroke of
all was attempted. The great Northern
Securities merger was floated. It had
for its cbjoU the controlling by two or
three men of the entire system of rail
way transportation between the Missi
ssippi river and tliu Kiuiic coast from
the Canadian border to tne guif.
That plan contumplated not only the
monopoly of thu freight and passenger
carrying business of the great empire
growing up wssi of the Mississippi, but
had in view the control of the g orious '
commercial future that was arising above
he oriental horizon as the policy of ex
pension was being developed. It was a
daring undertaking, this effort of less
than half a dozen men sitting around a
table in New York to hog the most in
dustrious portion of the habitable globe.
About that time there was a small
statured, bald-headed man ' of modest
mien, but prodigious brain, sitting up in a
room overlooking McPherson Square
Attorney General Knox, towit, in the de
partment of justice. He fumbled over
tne revised statutes and pickeJ out tne
Sherman act, under the authority of
which he went after that merger, ham
mer and tongs. The supreme court up
held his contention and demolished . the
merger. Since then other trusts have
been attacked and today half a dozen of
the great combinations are on the rack.
THE ELKINS ANTI-REBATE LAW
The next legislative act in the same
direction was the Elkins anti-rebute law
of 1 903. For years the public' had' been
complaining that railroads were violating
the spirit of the interstate commerce law
by publishing their rates in accordance
with law and then giving a secret rebate
to favored shippers. The railroads were
complainants as well as the public, for
often the roads were forced to give the
rebates when they were not justly due
and' it meant less of profit to them.
The Elkins act is, supposed to have
corrected many of the evils of rebating,
although the department of justice has
recently declared that the . sugar trust
and several railroads are still engaging
in the practice, and the department is
going after them. The Elkins law, how.
ever, is an important feature of this con
ecutiveplan of regulation of c orporations
