A N EXPL ODED THB'JR Y. I.Ir. Knapp, chairman A the Interstate Commerce Cuui.nis sion, says the Sherman anti trust is "the most mischievous and mistaken legislation in the hittory of the country," because it is framed on the "exploded economic theory" .that "compe tition is the life of trade." Mr. Knapr. . ppears to be the only person who Das heard the exolosion, or else he confounds cjjn petition with opposition. So Ion.? as fair, honest and honor- nVJ rrimnptiMnn (rnvrTna trnn&l there can arise no conditions which are harmful to the trades man or any one else. It vitali zes trade by supplying all its arteries, as it were, with good, pure, healthful blood. Opposition, on the other hand reports to unfair, dishonest, dis honorable means for conducting trade. Its prime law is, "cut the other fellow's throat, kill him or drive him off by what ever means regardless of who is hurt.". Keen, sharp, persistent com petition ultimately begets fierce, mad, destructive oppositon. Men can not long stay in any kind of trade or business which must be conducted under conditions of relentless, conscienceless opposi tion . They cast about for some means by which opposition may be destroyed and healthful, honorable competition restored. They find such means in combi nations known as trusts, pools and mergers. Such combinations formed to restore and preserve competition, and to economize production and service are bene ficial to all concerned and will continue to be so just so long as thsy are conducted with this purpose. Some many in truth such combinations are formed and conducted with honest and beneficent purpose. Of others, wo "y well believe this is not true. It follows, then, there are good and desirable and bad and undesirable trusts. This is nothing new. Men dis covered this long before they dis- covered Mr. Roosevelt. The discovery angered them. Great numbers of them became exceed ingly wroth and in their anger swore there are no good trusts, not one. Out of this unreason ing denunciation of trusts came the Sherman anti-trust law. This law pursues the plan of the old schoolmaster who, because he could not determine who did a mischief, flogged the whole school. President Roosevelt sees this and would have the Inter state Commission say which are bid trusts, and the law so modi fied that the good trust shall not be touched. This does mean that the President regards the doctrine of competition as an ex ploded theory. in this way. The alleged uncon stitutionality of the amendment is based on the claims that it deprives the legislature of the power to do certain things which other provisions of the constitu tion declare it shall do. Some of these provisions are required by the constitution of the United States, so, it the allegations set forth by the Telephone Company ire true, the amendmeni is in conflict with both the state and the federal constitution. To determine this it is probab le the constitution will have to be carried to the U. S- courts. Social optionists, prohibition ists and advocates of the amend ment in common with all other good citizens need nctbe in haste to worry as to what the result may be, for it is likely many months may pass before It is known. The experience Oregon has had with this amendment ! has not been altogether reas suring nor inexpensive. AJp had our general appropriation bill held up for referendum. The bill was approved by the people, but it is claimed the fun cost the taxpayers no less sum than $20,000. The fun still goesj on, and may prove to be yet J more expensive. It is more than probable should this company's contention pre vail some men who supported the adoption of the amendment will not be found among the mourners over its sad taking off though done to death by a hated trust. FARMERS PROSPEROUS. OUR PALLADIUM ASSAILED The state of Oregon has brought suit against the Pacific States Telephone and Telegraph Company to enforce the payment of a two per cent tax on its gross earnings. The company in its reply ( sets forth nine reasons why it should not pay this tax. Eight of these ate based on the alleged unconstitutionality of the j initiative and referendum amend- j ment to the constitution of the state while the n"nth alleges the unconstitutionality of the ta"x per se. There is but one way provided by which the constitution of Ore gon may be amended. There appears to be no allegation that this amendment ws not made1 We are yet an agricultural people so whatever affects the farmer for good or evil must cor cern all our people. This being true we may all rejoice over the prosperity this year has brought to the American farmer. True, farm products this year will be about 90 per cent of what they were last year, but the value of this year's farm products will raise the farmer's earnings more than one billion dollars above what they were last year. The American Agriculturist predicts an era of better times than we have experienced recently, because of the marvel ous gains in agriculture. The financial and industrial disasters which swept the country for four years following 1893 drove hundreds of men to tilling the soil, and thus brought about a great agricultural revfval. It wasi a much needed revival and nas wrougnt good lor all our people. JLne farmer was never so pros perous as at present, financially, socially, politically prosperous. The value of his lands and tene ments has increased prodigious ly, lie is less iij debt than ever before, while his assets were never so great. His purchasing ability was never so great, so we find him buying more and better breeding stock, farmimp'e lents, household goods and improving his business methods for he has learned thatall these things assure him yet greater profits. The wheat crop is about 150, 000,000 below what it was last year. There has been a great deficiency of production of wheat in Russia, Argentia and elsewhere, so the American farmer has a profitable market for his surplus. Here at home with the price of flour, bread and breadstuffs soaring upward we wonder why the Willamette Valley farmer says there is no profit in raising wheat. Though our bread costs us more we congratulate the farmer because of his prosperity, and really believe that man hap piest who has "a little farm well tilled, a little barn well filled, a little wife well willed." ed and Indispensible part of man's ter restrial existence. His days as a beat t oi burden are (trowing less marked, will continue to grow less marked, but in a more marked ratio will become the idea ited companion and appreciated 'enter tainer and pleasure maker.
