f UT OF all tho government's anti-trust, litigation the
v-r conclusion grows more positive and inevitable that
present anti-trust laws are not accomplishing and cannot
be. made to accomplish that tor which they were enacted.
With as much regularity as trust combinations are
brought to the point of so-called dissolution do vq have
the appearance- of "allied interests" or separate charters
with identical stockholders, or some other such scheme,
which as effectively defeats the en'd aimed at as though
the Sherman law did pot exist.
To grow epigramatic: The devil can be whipped around
the stump, as he has been in former cases, to the benefit of
the reorganized devil.
And the Sherman law has not proven a very difficult
stump to encircle.
The "reorganized devil" has, in practically every in
stance, continued the same practices in somewhat different
shape, and with just about the same results in building hh
own bank account from the pockets of the people.
J n plain English, the Sherman law was enacted, pre
sumably, for the purpose of preventing competition -throttling
and trade-controlling combinations.
In equally plain English, H has not done it.
Also, there is every indication in court decisions that
it cannot do it.
The answer is not difficult to find:
The Sherman law should be amended and strength
ened so that there shall be no further question as to tin
achievement of its definite' and substantial purpose.
The game of whipping the devil around the stump lias
played out; it has ceased to fool any considerable portioi
of the people.
Congress is in session; let it give the country a new
deal.
The anti-trust law is an open question. Congress
should either put some gum into it or repeal it.
It may have served some purpose in a great game ot
blind man's buff, but the handkerchief has fallen fron
the public eye.
