TRUTH ABOUT THE TRUST
“Expected Economies from Combina
tion” Do Not Materialize.
(Louis D. Brar.deis in Collier’s.)
Leaders of the new (Third Term)
party argue that industrial monopo
lies should bp legalized, lest we lose
the efficiency of large-scale production
and distribution. No argument could
be more misleading. * * *
It may be safely asserted that in
America there is no line of business
in which all or most concerns or
plants must be concentrated in order
to attain the size of greatest effi
ciency. For while a business may be
too small to be efficient, efficiency does
not grow indefinitely with increasing
size. What the most efficient size is
can be learired definitely only by ex
perience. The unij, of greatest effi
ciency is reached when the disad\an
tages of size counterbalance the ad
vantages. The unit of greatest effi
ciency is exceeded when the disad- ,
vantages of size outweigh the advan- i
tages. The history of American trusts ■
makes this clear. That history shows: j
First No conspicuous American '
trust owes its existence to the desire
for increased efficiency. "Expected
economies from combination" figure
largely in promoters' prospectuses; j
but they have never been a compell
ing motive in the formation of any
trust. On the contrary, the purpose of
combining has often been to curb effi
ciency or even to preserve ineffi
ciency, thus frustrating the natural
law of the survival of the fittest.
Second No conspicuously profita
ble trust owes its profits largely to
superior efficiency. Some trusts have
been very efficient, as have some In
dependent concerns; Lit conspicuous
profits have been secured mainly
through control of the market
through the power of monopoly to fix
prices -through this exercise of the
taxing power.
Third No conspicuous trust has
been efficient, enough to maintain long
as against the ind< pendents Its pro
portion of the business of the country
without continuing to buy up, from
time to time, its successful competi
tors.
There is plenty of peace about the
Taft candidacy, but nobody claims “It
passeth understanding."
Woodrow Wilson says to the long
suffering farmer who buys In a trust
cofttrolled, highly protected market -
and sells his wares in a free market: i
"Walk into your own house and take
possession.”
How many of those \fho are strug*
‘ding with the "High (v.,t of Living” j
believe there is to be any relief if the
Republican party, which brought it
about, remains in power?
--
The Hull Moose ran things with a
big stick at Washington for seven and
a half years and didn't by act or word
smite the bosses he now rails against '
or promote the causes he now "em
bodies.” Being "a practical man,” he |
asks a third, etc., term.
Tty applying the common sense test
to Roose\*!tiau romance Governor
Wilson manages to k< c-p the country
both amused and thoughtful.
