A Danger

By Editor

A Danger.—In the President's message relating to trust prosecution and the Sherman Anti-trust Law, he presents as a part of his remedy a suggestion which many Americans see great danger in, and that is that these trusts are to incorporate under a federal incorporation law. It will be a great question whether the states will want to yield their rights. Some point out the fact that the trusts can be prosecuted now when desirable, but that really the biggest checks to the overreaching power of the trusts has been through the states after all. Some think that the branch of the Federal Government which would control the trusts would be more easily corrupted than would the governments of many states. The whole tendency is to centralization—centralization in politics, centralization in religion.
