"Yet. while not merely admitting, bin insisting upon thia, it is also true that where there U no governmental restraint or supervision some of the exceptional men us. their energies not in way that are for the common good, hut in ways which tell asgiust thia common good. The forum e. amassed through corporate organization are now so large and res' such power In thoee that wield them as to make it a matter of necesaitv to give to the sovereign that is in the government, which represents ih-people as a whole-- some effective power of supervision over their corporate uae. In order to ensure a healthy social and Industrial life, every big corporation should be held responsible by, and be accountable to, some sovereign strong enough to control its conduct. 1 am in no sense hostile to corporations. This is an ate of combinations and any effort o prevent all combination will not be only useless hut in the end vicious, because of the contempt for law which the failure to enforce law Inevitably produces. We should, moreover, In cordial and ample fashion the immense good effect by corporate agencies in a country such as ours, and the wealth of Intellect, energy and fidelity devoted to their service, and therefore normally to the service of the public by their officers and directors. The corporation has come to stay, Juat as the trade union has come to stay. Each can do and has done great good. Bach should be favored so long as it does good. But each should be sharply chucked where it acts against law and Justine . . . Experience has shown conclusively thnt It Is useless to try to gat any adequate regulation and supervision of these great corporations by state action. Such regulation and supervision can only be effectively evarcised Jurisdiction la by a verctgu who so extensive with the Held of work of the corporation that is, by the nathis tional government. I believe regulation and supervision can be obtained by the enactment of law by the congress. Our steady aim should be by legislation, cautiously and carefully undertaken, but resolutely persevered In, to as rt the sovereignty of the national government by affirms It has been a mistive action. fortune that the national lawa on this subject have hitherto been of negative or prohibitive, rather than an affirmative kind, and at 111 more that they have in part sought to prohibit what could not be effectively prohibited, and have In part In their prohibitions confounded what should he allowed t and what should not he allowed. la generally uaelesa ta try to prohibit all restraint in competition, whether this restraint be reasonable or unreasonable; and where It la not useless it In generally hurtful. . . . What la needed is not sweeping prohibition of every arrangement, good or bad, which may tend to restrict competition, but such adequate supervision and regulation as will prevent any restriction of competition from being to the detriment of the public at, well as such supervision and regulation as will prevent other abuses in no way connected with restriction of competition. ; Of these abuses perhaps the chief, although by no meant the only one, la over capitalisation generally itself the result of dishonest promotion because of the myriad evils it brings In lta train; tor auch often meant an Inflation that invites business panic; It always conceals the true relations of the profit earned to the capital actually Invested, end It creates a burden of interest payments which is a fertile cause of Improper reduction In or limitation of wages; It damages the email Investor, discourages thrift and encourages gambling and speculation; while perhapi wont of all Is the trickiness and dishonesty which It implies for harm to morals la worse than acv possible harm to material Interests, and the debauchery of politics and business by great dishonest corporations Is far worse than actual, material evil they do the public. Until the national government obtains, in some manner which the wisdom of the congress may suggest, proper control over the big corporations engaged In Interstate commerce that la, over the great majuritr of the big corporations It will he Impossible to deal adequately with these evils. . . . This power to regulate rates, like all similar powera over the business world, should lie exercised with moderation, but It caution and' should exist, so that It can be effectively exercised when the need arises. . . . I do not believe In the government undertaking any work whirn can with propriety be left in private hande. Bnt neither do I believe in g the government flinching from any work when it becomes evident that abnees are cure to obtain therein unless there is governmental euperrliion. of The best possible regulation rates would, of course, be lhat regulation secured by an honest agreement between the railroads themselves to carry out the law. Such a general agreement wouiJ, for Instance, at once put a stop to the efforts of any one big shipper or big railroad ta discriminate against or secure advantages over soma rival; and such agreement would niake the railroads themselves agents for enforcing the law. The power vested In the government to put a atop to agreements to the detriment of the public should. In my Judgment, he accompanied with power ta permit, under specified conditions end careful supervision, agreements clearly In the Interest of the public.' But In my Judgment, the necessity for giving this further power Is by no means as great as the necessity for giving the commission or administrative body the powera I hate enumerated above; and It may well be inadvisable to attempt to vest thia particular power la the commission cr other administrative body uatll It ai ready possesses and is exercising what 1 regard as by far the most important of all the powers I recommend aa Indeed the vitally Important power tnat to fix rate, given maximum which rate, after the lapse of a reason able time, goes Into full effect, sub. . . ject to review by the courts.

Their contention to true, it is a complicated and delicate proa-len- t, and all kinds of difficult lea are sure to arise in connection a lth any plan of ulutiou, which plan alii biiug all beuetlia hoped for by lu more optimistic adherents. But while I fully admit the difficulties In the way 1 do nut for a moment admit that these difficulties warrant us In stopping in our effort to secure a wise and Just system. At present we fact such utter lack of supervision, inch freedom from the restraints of laws, that excellent men have often bees literally furred into doing what they deplore because otherwise they were left at the mercy of unscrupulous competitors. To assail the men who have done aa they best could under audit cl i cum stances, little. accnmpltohra W hat wc need to do la to develop an oiderly system; and such a system ran only come through (he gradually increased exercise of the right of government control will." In his message to congress at the beginning of the second session of tho SPlh congress, December 2nd, 1906, the president said; "Tho Imeratala commerce law has rather amusingly falsified the predictions, both of those who asserted that It would ruin the railroads and of thoaa who asserted that It did not go far enough and would accomplish nothing. During the lent five months Ilia railroads have shown increased earnings and same of them unusual dividends; while during the same period the mere taking effect of the law haa produced an unprecedented, a hitherto unheard of, number of voluntary reduction In freight rates and fare by the railroads. , i- -. It must trot be supposed, however. That what passage of these laws it will be possible to atop of progress along cf Increasing the power of the national government over the use of capital and Interstate commerce. For example, there will ultimately be need of enlarging the powera of the interstate commerce commission along several different lines so as to give larger control over the railroads. It rannot too often be rt paLed that experience haa conclusively shown the ImpoMlblllty of ae curing by the actions of nearly half a hundred different state legislatures anything but ineffective chans In the way of dealing with the great corporations whlrh do not operate exclusively within the limits of any one state. In some method, whether by national lifenie law or In other fashion, we tnuat exercise and at aa early date, far more complete control, than at present over these great corporations a control that will, among other things, prevent the evils of excessive overcapitalisation and that will compel the disclosure by each big corporation of Its stockholders and of Its properties and business, whether owned directly or through subsidiary or affiliated corporations. This will tend to put a atop to the securing of inordinate profits by favored Individuals at the expense, whether of the general public or the stockholders, or the wage workers. Our effort ahotiM be not ao much to prevent consolidations as such, hut so to supervise and control It as to aee that It results In no harm to the people. In enacting and enforcing such legislation as this oongress already haa to Its credit we are working on a coherent plan, with steady effort to secure the needed reforms before the Joint action of the moderate men, the plain men who do not wish anything historical nr dangerous, hut who do Intend to deal in resolute common sense faxhlun with the real and great evils of the present system. The leartlonariea and the violent extremists ahow symptoms of Joining hands with us. Roth asserted for Instance, that if radical we should go to government ownership of railroads and the like; the reactionaries, because of such Issue think the people should stand with them, while the extremists csre rather to preach discontent and agitation than to achieve solid results. Aa a matter oTfact, our position la as remote from that of a bourbon reac' tionary aa that from that of an Impracticable or sinister visionary. We hold that the government should not conduct the business of the nation, but lhat it should exercise auch supervision aa trill Insure Its being conducted In the Interest of the nation. Our aim Is. ao far as may be, to secure for all decent, hard working-men- , equality of opportunity nnd equality of burden. The actual working of our laws haa shown that the efforts ti prohibit all combination, good or bad. la noxious where It Is not ineffective. Combination of capital, like combination of labor. Is a necessary element of our present Industrial system. It Is not possible completely to prevent It and if it were possible, auch complete prevention would do damage to the What we need is not body politic. vainly to try to prevent all combination, hut to secure such rigorous and Adequate contra! and supervision of the combinations as to prevent their injuring the public, or existing in sttci form as Inevitably to threaten injury for the mere fact that a combination has secured practically complete control of a necessity of a life would under any clreumtancea ahow that such combination wsa to be presumed to bn svmm to the public intorse 2, 1007. 3 f.-- iCiiir.inuad s Allens APRIL TUESDAY. i CF RAILROAD SITUATION. pate Food Law I TAIL OGDEN. ta.-uts'- . r Some of the Manufacturers of Our County arid State PATRONIZE ENRICH THE COUNTY AND STATE ThC UTAH CANNING COMPANY SALT LAKE VALLEY CANNING CO.
