TAFT SHOULD WIN, SAYS !
HILLES, FOR FEARLESS !
FIGHT AGAINST TRUSTS,
-
By CHARLES D. HILLIS.
Chairman of the Republican National
Committee.
I N-EW YORK. Aug. 9. —There is one
i feature of President Taft's administra-
I :ion which should win for him the
1 unanimous support of the plain people. |
iihe wage earners, the farmers and all
! that immense contingent which has suf
-1 sered so seriously from the extortion
: practiced by offending trnjts. That is
' his inflexible enforcement of the anti- |
trust law. It won for him the con-1
i demnation of certain trusts, some of
i xvhose greatest beneficiaries poured
* their profits into the coffers of those
xx ho sought to prevent Mr. Taft's re
nomination. Why should it not xvfn for
him the support of those who have I
themselves suffered at the hands «f j
those trusts?
There is a widespread feeling in this
country that the average man has not
had a fair show, that he has not re
ceived a square deal, that he has been
at the mercy of great aggregations of
capital which have overcharged him at |
every turn, which have succeeded in i
preventing the enforcement of the laws
which would have destroyed their mo
nopolies and compelled them to accord
a fair deal to all alike. And there is
much reason for this feeling, but the
feeling itself xxould be without reason
if the great army of consumers were td
' turn their backs on the nYan who more
than any other has dared to enforce
the laxv. •
"Has Played No Favorites.”
President Taft lias played no favor
ites in the enforcement of Hie anti
trust law. There have been no specially
favored trusts whose heads were will
ing to spend unlimited sums to insure
his renomination. He lias never been
“a practical man." as the trust® inter
pret that phrase, and no suggestion that
"interests which have been so friendly
to us are involved" lias, ever appealed
to him as sufficient reason for calling
off a prosecution. That is why the
trusts are supporting another candidate
and why George W. Perkins lias de
clared his willingness to contribute any
amount to the campaign of another
candidate so long as his candidacy will
contribute to the defeat of President
I aft. And. too, that is the reason wh.v
a few men with incalculable resources
have undertaken a systematic campaign
to persuade the people that the trust
prosecutions have accomplished noth
ing and that the decision of t lie su
preme court against the Standard Oil
and Tobacco trusts are of no impor»
tanee.
Says Tobacco Planters Thrive.
Ask the tobacco punters of Ken
tucky whether the suit against the To
bacco trust has accomplished anything.
I hey will tell you that now they get a
reasonable [’ice for their tobacco,
whereas before the dissolution of the
trust they were compelled to accept
whatever price was offered them, a
price which was so far below the cost
of production that the planters had to
band together to limit the production,
bad to resort to the extreme methods of
the "night riders" i„ sate themselves
and their families from starvation—and
even then did not always succeed. You
do not hear anything of night riders
now, and the planters are getting fair
t>iie<*s for their products because the
trust has been broken up. and there is
competition among tin buyers.
Ask ;iie Independent oil producers
Wiiat they are getting for their oil
since the Standard Oil trust was broken
up. I hex will tell you that they are
getting at least a living return, where
as before they were at the absolute
mercy of the trust. Are not these re
sults wort,ox of achievement? Are
they to be obscured by efforts to ma
nipulate stocks and to boom the prices
of Standard Oil securities to deceive
the public and prevent the voter from
supporting the man who laid the ax to
their root?
Ask the men who are building homes
in < >hio and western Pennsylvania
xx hat they have to pax - for their win
dow glass since the Taft administration
broke up the window glass trust. They
will tell you of the benefits of the trust
prosecutions under the present law.
Ihis ittcans that much has been accom
plished. ami that it is because of Mr.
Lift s tearless prosecutions.
The Fight on the Beef Trust.
M hat lias caused the dissolution of
the beef trust" Is it the impotence of
tee anti-trust law'.' No: it i s the ef
fective application of that law. For
more than a year the owners and di
rectors of that trust lived in the shad
ow of the prison. They were rich men
men who had always had ev'erything
their own wax' —and the prospect of
prison sentences drove them almost to
despair. They were acquitted, it Is true,
bm not until they had spent almost a
million dollars for their defense, ami
not unti, thex' had undergone an expe
-1 rienee which no one of them will ever
| willing x undergo again. That is why
I t hey hax e offered voluntarily to dis
. soixe their trust and ate now engaged
:in that task. If the anti-trust law
, were as useless as it has been reported,
Ido you supjaise a great monopoly like
I ihe beef trust would voluntarily aban
don its advantage disrupt its power !
[and distribute its property"
Never before in tile history of this!
nation has the anti-trust law been so I
l rigorously enforced, atul today there ate '
! literally hundreds of men—rich, pow er
: fill and able- who haw been enjoined
I*> the court- from continuing to do
business in an’ unlawful manner or

Cites Far-Reaching Results.
The results of President Taft's fear
less enforcement of the anti-trust law
have been far-reaching. Not alone the
trusts which he has prosecuted, but
those which deserved so be prosecuted, i
have been halted in their illegal pur
suits. and the managers of big business
aie proceeding today with the utmost
caution lest they come within the pale
of the law. They would not do so if
there were “a practical man" in the
white house. They would not have to.
Then they could gain a promise of im
munity from prosecution could they
but deceive such a man into believing
that the absorption of their rivals was!
for the general good.
Those who want "a practical man.”
one with whom they can do business,
one who will exercise his own good
judgment and decide fot* himself which
are “good trusts" and xx hl. h are bad,
which should be permitted to violate
the law, know they can neither deceive
nor corrupt Mr. Taft.
Some of the men ho xxould perpetu
ate their monopolies and disregard the
law undertook prior to the Chicago
(onverftion the task of discrediting in
the eyes of the American people the
man who. by his tearless enforcement
of the law, had won their fear and
their hatred, but the American people
were not deceived, nor will they be in i
this great fight. They xx ill stand bx
the man who has stood by them and
who has enforced their laws without
fear and w ithout favor. It is my con
fidence in the intelligence of the Amer
ican people which leads me to declare
that President Taft's inflexible enforce
ment of the anti-trust law has been one
of the most forceful features of his ad
ministration and to believe that be
cause he has enforced that law he will I
be re-elected io continue its undevial-I
ing enforcement.

CITIZENS TAKE OP
STREET REFORMS
Regrading and' Repaving of
Peachtree and Ivy To Be
Pushed by Owners.
With patience exhausted by the slow
progress in street improvements made
by the < ;ty. property owners have taken
upon themselves the task of making
tv.o notable developments—the regrad
ing and repaving of Peachtree and Ivy
streets.
Work was begun today on the widen
ing of Peachtree street from Ellis street
to Fifteenth street. I twill be an 80-
foot street. The plan is to get all the
property holders to donate the land foi
the widening, and a majority of th<
owners have begun work to get the
j consent of the others.
The widening of tbe street from Har
ris street to Baker street is already un
der way. The council has adopted
a fixed building line, but unless the
property owners agree to abide by it
there is no way to enforce it.
Two New Buildings Out of Line.

for a $500,000 apartment house at the
corner of Peachtree street and Ponct
DeLeon avenue, which does not con
form to the new property line. W. L.
Peel has begun the erection of a new
building on the old line at the cornet
of Peachtree street and Merritts ave
, nue. Both of the-e men are anxious
! for the widening and they have joined
with the others in endeavoring to ar
range Hie matter.
The only other serious obstacle is the
Masonic temple at the corner of Peach
tree and Cain streets. It will cost a
considerable sum to adjust this build
ing to a nexx property line,
Alderman James R. Nutting and
Councilman t'larem e Haverty, who are
among the leaders in the movement, de
clared today that the project of widen
ing and rt grading all of Peachtree
would increase property values mil
lions of dollars
Citizens Name Committee.
At a citizens meeting yesterday at
the citx hall the plan was thoroughly
discussed. A committee, composed of
Forrest Adair. Willis Ragan, E. W, Al
friend. Dr. W. C. Hamby. A, W. Smith.
Aiderman Nutting and Councilman
Haverty. was appointed to be in active
charge of the work. Thus committee
met today.
The improvements being made in con
junction with the Peachtree work are
the regrading and repaving of Ivy street
from Peachtree street to Decatur street.
The property owners have agreed to
advance the money necessary to finance
the xvork. and the county commission
ers will have the greater part of the
work done by convicts. The property
owners are to be repaid, but no date foe
pay ment is specified. The obligation
can be met at the city's convenience.
The project will be recommended to
council by the streets committee at its
I next meeting, and. it is said, adopted.
This improvement, if made, will be
the result of the work of Joel Hurt,
Martin Amorous and other citizens.
