Saturday, June .16, 1931 Pasre Two LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER. LA GRANDE. ORE. QUEEN ELIZABETH TRIED MONOPOLIES IN YE OLDE DAYS I Ity Frank I. Welter WASHINGTON WH-Elizabeth, the only child ot Henry VIU and Anuo Boleyn, ruled more than three cen turies before General Johnnon and Clarence arrow went to the mat over NRA "prlco-flxlng," but ahohad something to do with the bints of their row. It seems the groat queen of Eng land developed quite a flair along about 1570 lor rewarding certain craftsmen and artisans with tho ex clusive right to manufacture and sell their wares. Elizabeth was co something of a spot what with political, religious and economic woes. It was no small part of her strategy to best her foes by tying the economic fortunes of her influential subjects to her own per sonal security. The Swl Sown By 1601 tho crown had granted so many monopolies that parliament do elded to take a hand In the interest of the "little business num." Eliza beth was not doing -so well In tier dealings with tho legislative body, so she yielded to tho theory that monopolies act as restraints to tho tree flow or the normal irauo ana commerce which would como from equal competition by all. The oeed had been sown, however. and thenceforth wherever men were able to gain a virtual control over tho production of a particular typo -of article, the action constituted a monopoly or "trust" which fixed prices to consumers, sometimes with out regard lor service or quality. Early American court rested on common law, generally holding agree ments among producers void If they tended to place a restraint on froo and equal participation In, trade About 1880, state legislators began to enact laws, prohibiting combina tions and consolidations of powerful Interests which could undersell or squcezo out less wealthy competitors , "rrilft-lllitliifi' Tho federal government stopped In to the plcturo In 1800 with tho Bhcr mau anti-trust law which sought to guarantee free operation of competi tion. Klatory. still rings with tho "trait- busting" days of Thoodoro lioosevolt's administration. In 1014 tho Clayton act both modified and enlarged regu lation sought by tho Sherman law. and tho federal trade commission wns set up to Investigate and report upon organizations and corporations al leged to bo Infringing on the anti trust laws. When tho national Industrial re covery act was paused In 1033, con gress provided that industries adopt ing codes under NRA would bo ex empted from certain provisions of the anti-trust laws for two years. It was tlio Idea that modified In- austrlcs, through self-regulation, would romovo unfair practices and adopt uniform standarda of compo tltlon. Th0 strong and tho weak were to como In under ono roor and be -brothors. Harrow's Verdict The Darrow report on NRA charged that it fostered monoiwltcs to the detrtmont of tho Uttlo ibuslncss man. General Johnson disagreed. Senators Borah of Idaho and Nye of North Lift kote, immediately demanded rein statement of anti-trust regulation. Congress won ot expected to do anything about it this session, uy order of the president. NRA has sus pended fair trade- practice provisions ot sovon service tnulo couch.

Baer Is under contract to Madison Square Garden for one title defense within a year. Under thc terms of tho agreement, the Californlan can name the challenger and set the date for the fight by giving the Garden 30 days notice. There were rumblings that Ancll Hoffman and Jack, Dempsoy would prefer to have Baer fulfill the terms of his contract as quickly as pos sible that Is, by defending tho title In September and thus leave the champion free to fight next summer under Dempsey's promotion. The chief stumbling block to that arrangement was a paucity of accept able challengers unless the cham pion's advisors should decide Camera merited a re-match. Even Dempsey was doubtful whether there was any public demand for another Baer Carnera match. "Personally, I'd enjoy seeing it Junior Leagues' New President 1 v.

Prohibition, Suffrage On Program Of Mexico's Next Chief Executive . ' By (Clarke O. Le MEXICO. D. P. UP) Barring un predictable developments, General Lazaro Cardenas. j40-ycar-old veteran of revolutionary campaigns, will be elected 45th constitutional president of the republic on July 1. Lack of any effective opposition virtually re duces the voting to a formality. With the opposition divided Into threo . disagreeing factions, and ap parently discouraged from any (force ful actidV by the threat of the pow erful government party to "answer violence with violence," the campaign has been lacking in general Interest. Outstanding personalities and is sues have likewise been absent. Car denas' iprogram. the 6-year plan of the national revolutionary party, or "P. N. R.," was written long before ho was nominated last December, and much of It has already been put In to effect toy President Abelordo Rod riguez. Advances Mens Of Own Under this plan Rodriguez has al ready established a semi -government petroleum company, made plans for a ml -official electric light and power company, has speeded up the agrarian program and pushed high way projects. Cardenas' work, there fore, will jbe for the most part a con tinuation of steps taken by Rodrig uez. The soldier-candidate has indicated, however, that he will possibly go out side the 6-year plan, which has been described Iby Ambassador Josephus Daniels as "Mexico's new deal and square deal." Cardenas is reported Jto favor pass age of a national prohibition law and also legislation to enable women to take a jgreafer part In politics and. government. Rumors of disagreements between Cardenas and other leaders of the party, reportedly displeased with some of the candidate's ideas, have been In circulation lor some time but there have been no developments to confirm them. OpiKwltlon Field shrinks 1 In preparation for his 6-year term in the presidency, which h0 expects to, assume December 1, Cardenas has served 03 governor of the state of Michocan, president of the P. N. R. and for a Ishort term as secretary of war. Brief as this experience in pub lic office has been, Cardenas would enter the (presidency with a thorough personal knowledge of tho country. He has spent six months In an Inten sive campaign tour. General Ant-snlo I. Villarrcal, can- didate of the confederation of revolu-! tionary Independent parties, received unexpected! support late In the cam- pofign-by. the withdrawal ot Gilbcrtoi Valenzuela, nominee of thc antl-, reelectionlst group, who wa3 unwill ing to (abandon his exile in El Paso, Tex., and risk facing old charges of rebellion. Roman, Badillo, the anti-rcelectlon- lsts' substitute candidate who had know it's nlwavs hnt. Nn dnrlm kettle on the stove or liehtinu ELECTRIC been carrying on a speaking cam paign, also withdrew, and many of Valenzucla's supporters said they would vote for Vlllarreal, Bince he represented virtually the Bame politi cal opinion as their candidate. Both of these opposition groups support the .ideals of the revolution but object to tho methods or the present government leaders. Tejnla Plans 'Other Mm us" Coronel Adeiberto Tejcda, former governor of Vera Cruz, has perhaps the strongest" personal following of the oppositionists, consisting chiefly of agrarians In his home state. But hd has said he has no hope of win ning the election. ' Early in the campaign Tejeda an nounced his intention of using "ether means" to put Into effect his social istic program. The third opposition candidate, Her nan La Borde, describes himself ag a communist and has the backing of the peasants and workers lcajjuf an organisation or undetermined strength.
