POWER USURPED BY
COURT, SAYS OLNEY
Function of Legisla

krntur of In President Clvland'e
Second Administration.
(Published by Arrfinrement with the Chleaco
Tribune)
It la axiomatic that the law invarl
ably lags behind the condition and
needs of progressive communities.
Nothing more strtklngly llluatratea the
rule than what ha taken place in
this country In respect to what are
railed the trust. Under the statute of
1S30. trusts, big and little, were out
lawed. The Executive Department was
required to exterminate them through
the courts, their promoters and off!
rers were put In the criminal class.
nil al! persons Injured by their opera
tion were Riven claims for damages.
What has been the result of this 20
years war upon the trusts a war
waged with the emphatlo approval of
the general public? So far from being
eliminated. they have persistently
grown In number and scope, and. eco
nomically speaking, have vindicated
their economic right to extst and to
stay. Even the most ardent and emi
nent trust busters among whom can
be IncluOed an ex-President have be
gun to perceive that the trusts are
only a phase of financial development
nid tt realize that the relentless and
Ir discriminate assaults upon them are
a serious menace to the country's com
merclal development and progress,
sspnrns Court laflaesieed.
even the I ntted States Supreme
Court shows the Influence of the
spreading of the reaction In favor of
big business, and. recalling Its original
decision against It, now holds that
there are good trusts and bad trusts.
ind that It is for It to determine which
re goo J and which are bad which
shall live and which shall perish.
The Supreme Court Is. of course, to
be credited with good intentions, and.
ty Its latest decision In the trust cases,
unquestionably meant to come to the
relief of the business of the country.
Hut the crucial question Is. has It dona
tot In recanting and denying all com
binations restraining trade In any de
gree to be unlawful has It cleared up
the situation or made oonfuslon worse
confounded?
The situation It dealt with was one
in which the law was clear, but Its
enforcement so Impracticable and re
pugnant to common sense that, as a
rule, business thrived, or at least got
along somehow by evading or de
fying the law with the practical con
nivance of its officers.
Law 3e Losgrr Clear.
The situation the court has substi
tuted Is one in which the law 1 no
longer clear in which combinations
aiuat be adjudicated legal before there
fan be certainty as to the lawfulneas
,'f their orgsntxatton or the innocence
if their promoters. In which every case
.nust be a law unto itself and unto lt
jelf alone and In which reasonableness,
Ihe supreme test of the validity of
combinations and of the non-guiltiness
jf the combiners is a highly fluctuat
ing factor, necessarily varying with
the kind of business, with the time and
place where carried on, with the Indis--ter.sablenesa
of the business In Its re
lation to other business and the gen
eral welfare, with the extent of do
x.estlo and foreign competition, and
nd with a multitude of other circum
stances, chief among which will al
ways be found to be the length of the
Chancellor's foot.
Surely. If before the latest trust de
risions big business was handicapped
Cera use It knew It to be carried on
gatnat the law. it la now none the
less severely handicapped because, un
til the court glvea It Its benediction.
It can never know whether Its status
is legal or illegal.
Itaslaeea Craves Certalaty.
What business most craves of all
things, however, is certainty and cer
tainty before it embarks upon an en
terprise and not merely afterwards.
It cannot be gainsaid that large com
binations of capital for the financing
of large enterprises must always be
effectually discouraged and repressed
by. the menace of litigation over their
reasonableness, with all the attending
and Inevitable uncertainties.
It will le conceded that big business
la with us to stay. The financial
chaos, the Industrial and commercial
stagnation and diaaster that must en
sue from reversion to the day of small
things to railroads forty or fifty
miles long, to factories and farms de

Maintaining its lead as one of the
most prosperous- and substantial cities
in the United States, Portland during
the month of October made a remarka
ble showing by surpassing the record
for the same month last year in every
line of business and industrial activity.
With big gains on every hand, the
progress of the city for the first ten
months in 1911 exceeds by far the
showing of the corresponding period of
1910.
Big gains were made In bank clear
ings, building permits, real estate
transfers, postal receipts, livestock re
ceipts and lumber, grain and flour
shipments. In proportion to these in
creases other commercial activities had
a satisfactory month, indicating as the
year draws to a close that Portland is
enjoying the greatest prosperity in its
history.
In substantiation of Portland's sus
tained growth and present commercial
solidity, Edward B. Vreeiand, Repre
sentative in Congress from New York,
said when in the city Monday that he
had visited no city since leaving Chi
cago that was in such a prosperous and
healthy condition as Portland.
Building Gala Great.
In building statistics a substantial
gain was made during the month, while
for the first ten months of the year the
increase amounted to 10 per cent.
There were 665 permits issued as
against 626 permits for the correspond
ing month in 1910. The valuation was
$1,688,580, compared with $1,681,170 for
October of last year. With the ex
ception of a few buildings, the larger
portion of the permits were Issued for
dwellings.
The building permits for the past
ten months reached $14,856,879, com
pared with $13,365,402 for the same
period in 1910, There are now In the
office of the Building Inspector plans
for nine class "A" buildings, permits
for which will be issued probably this
month. The construction of these
buildings alone will represent an ex
penditure of over $2,500,000. In point
of population It is doubtful whether
any city in the United States can make
as good showing as Portland In build
ing construction.
BanJcs Are to Front
Indicative of the growing financial
condition of the city is the big gain
made in bank clearings. The total
clearings for the month were $55,133,
194.44, compared with $48,844,009.35
for the corresponding month in 1910.
This is a gain in excess of 14 per cent
and is one of the biggest increases of
the year. It is interesting to note that
the clearings have been increasing
gradually for the past two years, the
totals for October, 1909, being $40.
908,648.21. The increase over the show
ing made two years ago is $14,225,
645.23, or about 40 per cent. Portland's
clearings for the month show a larger
Increase than that of any other Pacific
Coast city.
One of the important features of the
monthjs record is the immense increase
in foreign and coastwise lumber ship
ments, which amounts to nearly 66 per
cent. There were shipped to foreign
ports .14,002,822 (eet of lumber of a
total value of $148,207. Foreign lum
ber shipments in October last year
were 11,611,476. The lnorease for the
month was 2,491,846 feet- Coastwise
shipping amounted to 12,830,000 feet
compared with 7,760,000 feet for the
same month of last year. The total
coastwise and offshore shipments
reached 26,332,822 feet.
Floor Shipments Big.
Flour shipments made a most satis
factory showing. There were exported
151,909 barrels as against only 50.168
barrels for last October. In ooastwlse
business a still better showing was
made, the total shipments for the
month amounting to 177,806 barrels.
Grain shipments for the month were
about the same as for the same month
