UNDER WHICH FLAG?
When Roosevelt became president,
the trusts and combinations were but
a handful compared with the condi
tions seven and one—half years later
when he turned the office over to
Taft. Limited in number they stood
unsupported, separate units, each by
itself. They had not yet been fused
and welded together by the Morgan
system of interlocking directorates.
All told there were but 149 plants
combined in violation of law, when
Roosevelt was sworn in as president.
The Sherman anti-trust law was
upon the statute book, a perfect
weapon with which any executive
could easily have destroyed every
criminal conspiracy against copeti
tion.
In plain terms the law provided:
“Every contract, combination in
the form of trust or otherwise, or
conspiracy in restraint of trade or
commerce among the states or
with foreign nations, is hereby
declared to be illegal.”
The law provided further that “ev
ery person” making “any such con -
tract,” or engaging in “any such com
bination or conspiracy” and “every
person that shall monopolize or com
bine or conspire with any other per
son to monopolize any part of the
trade or commerce among the sev
eral states” shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor and subject on
conviction to be punished “by a fine
not exceeding five thousand dollars,
or by imprisonment not exceeding one
year.”
As said oy judge Stewart ot Ver
mont in closing the debate in the
House of Representatives when the
law was enacted:
"The provisions of this bill are
just as broad, sweeping and ex
plicit as the English language can
make them, to express the pow
er of congress on this subject un -
der the constitution of the End
ed States.”
Rut Roosevelt was never in favor
of enforcing the law to destroy trusts
and combinations. In his first mes
sage to congress dealing with this
subject he said:
“Combination and concentration
should be not prohibited, but
supervised and within reasonable
limits, controlled.”
The law declared that trusts and
combinations should be prohibited.
Roosevelt declared that they should
not be proh'bited but that they
should be "controlled” and he soft
ened his declaration by announcing
that such control must be kept with
in “reasonable limits.”
wnat cnance naa tne snerman taw
under a president who set himself
doggedly against enforcing its pro
hibitions? It is true that he prose
' cuted an average of six cases a year
against a carefully selected 11st of
these combinations. But he was
careful to go just far enough to
give color—about campaign time—to
the claim that he was upholding the
law not far enough seriously to in
jure those prosecuted, or deter, in the
slightest degree, the hundreds that
were organizing every month through
out his entire administration.
Mark the result of this two-faced
policy: When Roosevelt became
president there were 149 combinations
and trusts, including railways, all to
gether having a total stock and bond
issue of only $3,784,000,000. When he
left the White House there were 1,
020 criminal conspiracies in combi
nation, including with the unlawfully
combined railroads a total capitaliza
tion amounting to the enormous sum
of $31,672,000,000, more than 70 per
cent of which was and still is water.
The power of these combinations was
unlimited and uncontrolled. They
suppressed competition. They in
creased transportation charges. They
raised the prices of the products of
the mines and the factories at will.
They paid big dividends on fictitious
and fraudulent overcapitalization.
They accumulated millions upon mil
lions of surplus in every trust treas
ury. Out of this surplus, wrongful
ly taken from the people, they bililt
new rallroadB, extravagant terminals,
and new manufacturing plants.. And
these in turn, they again overbapl
, 'ru..r
talized exacting everincreasing trib
ute from a helpless and unprotected
public.
Each succeeding year of the Roose
velt administration the cost of living
increased enormously.
In many of his public addresses and
some of his later messages he vio
lently assailed the trusts with most
extravagant denunciation but his pol
icy as president steadily strengthen
ed and encouraged the growth of
monopoly.
Roosevelt stood pat against tariff
revision and aided Cannon and Aid
rich to stave off action on the tar
iff throughout his two terms.—La Fol
lette’s Magazine.
