The Message
The President spoke in part as fol
lows:
"Gentlemen of the Congress: In
my report 'on tho stato of the Union'
which I had the privilege of reading to
you on tho first of December last, I
ventured to reserve for discussion at
a later date the subject of additional
legislation regarding: the very diffi
cult and intricate matter of trusts and
monopolies. The time now seems op
portune to turn to the great question;
not only because the currency legisla
tion, which abscrlbed your attention
and the attention of tne country in
December, now is disposed of, but also
because opinion seems to be cleurlng
about us with singular rapidity In this
other great Held of action. In the
matter of the currency It cleared sud
denly and very happily after the
much-debated act was passed; in re
spect of the monopolies which have
multiplied about us and In regard to
the various means by which they have
been organized and maintained it
seems to be coming to a clear and all
but universal agreement in anticipation
of our action, as if by way of prepara
tion. making the way easier to see
and easier to set out upon with confi
dence and without confusion of coun
sel.
Constructive Legislation
• Legislature has its atmosphere like
everything elsewhere and the atmos
phere of accommodation and mutual
understanding which we now breathe
with so much refreshment is matter of
sincere congratulation. It ought to
make our task very much less diffi
cult and embarrassing than it would
have been had we been obliged to con
tinue to act amidst tho atmosphere of
suspicion and antagonism which has
so long made it impossible to ap
proach such questions with dispas
sionate fairness.
"Constructive legislation, when suc
cessful, is always the embodiment of
convincing experience and of the ma
ture public opinion which finally
springs out of that experience. Leg
islation is a business of Interpretation,
not of origination and it Is now plain
what the opinion is to which we must
give effect In this matter. It is not re
cent or hasty opinion. It springs out
of the experience of a whole genera
tion. It has clarified itself by long
contest and those who for a long time
battled with it and sought to change
it are now frankly and honorably
yielding to it and seeking to conform
their actions to it.
"The great business men who or
ganized and financed monopoly and
those who administered it In actual
every day transactions have year after
year, until now, either denied Its exist
ence or justified it as necessary for the
effective maintenance and "develop
ment of the vast business processes of
the country In the rtiodern circum
stances of trade and manufacture and
flnange; but all the while opinion has
made head against them. The average
business man is convinced that the
ways of liberty are also the ways of
peace and the ways of success as well,
and at last the masters of business on
the great scale have begun to yield
their preference and purpose, per
haps their Judgment also, In honorable
surrender.
Not to Hamper Business
"What are we purposing to do,
therefore, is, happily, not to hamper
or interfere with business as enlight
ened business men prefer to do it, or
in any sense to put it under the ban.
The antagonism between business and
government is over. We are now about
to give expression to the best business
judgment of America, to wliat we
know to be the business conscience
and honor of the land. The govern
ment and business men are ready to
meet each other luilf way in a com
mon effort to square businoss meth
ods with both public opinion and the
law. The best informed men of the
business world condemn the methods
and processes and consequences of
j monopoly as wo condemn them; and
the instinctive judgment of the vast
majority of business men everywhere
goes with them. We shall now be
their spokesmen. That is the strength
! of our position and the sure prophecy
of what will ensue when our reason
able work Is done.
"When serious contest ends, when
men unite in opinion and purpose,
those who are to change their ways of
business joining with those who ask
for the change, it is possible to effect
It In the way in which prudent and
thoughtful and patriotic men would
wish to see It brought about with as
few, as slight, as easy and simply
business readjustments as possible in
the circumstances, nothing essential
disturbed, nothing torn up by the
roots, no parts rent asunder which
can be left in wholesome combination.
No Destructive Policy
Fortunately, 110 measures of sweep
ing or novel change are mjcessary. It
will bo understood that our object is
NOT to unsettle business or anywhere
seriously to break Its established
<!ourses athwart. On the contrary, we
desire tlie laws we are now aliout to
pass to lie the bulwarks and safe
guards of industry against the forces
that have disturbed it. What we have
to do can lie done in a new spirit, in
thoughtful moderation, without reso
lution of any untoward kind.
"We are all agreed that 'private
monopoly is indefensible and intol
erable,' and our program Is founded
upon that conviction. It will be a
comprehensive but not a radical or
unacceptable program and these are
its Items, the changes which opinion
deliberately sanctions and for which
business walls:
"It waits with acquiescence, in tho
first place, for laws which will effee
tunlly prohibit an»l prevent such inter
locking!* of the PERSONNKFi of the
directorates of great corporations—
Hanks and railroads, industrial, com
mercial and itablic service bodies—as
in effect result in making those who
Inirrow and those who lend practically
one and the same, those who sell unci
those who buy but the same persons
trading with one another under differ
ent names and in different combi
nations. and those who effect to com
pete In fact partners and masters of
some whole field of business. Suffi
cient time should be allowed, of
course, in which to effect these
changes of organization without in
convenience or confusion.
Better Methods
"Such a prohibition will work much
more than a mere negative good by
correcting the serious evils which have
arisen because, for example, the men
who have been the directing spirits of
the great investment batiks have
usurped the place which belongs to
Independent industrial management
working In Its own behoof. It will
bring new men, new energies, a new
spirit initiative, new blood. Into the
management of our great business en
terprises. It will open the Held. of
industrial development and origination
to scores of men who have been
obliged U> serve when their abilities
entitled them to direct. It will Im
mensely hearten the young men com
ing 011 and will greatly enrich the
business activities of the whole eonn
'ln the second place, business men
as well as those who direct public
affairs now recognize, and recognize
with painful clearness, the great harm
and injustice which has been done to
many, if not all, of the great railroad
systems of the country by the way in
which they have been financed "and
their own distinctive interests sub
ordinated to the interests of the men
who financed them and of other busi
ness enterprises which those men
wished to promote. The country is
ready, therefore, to accept, and accept
with relief as well as approval, a law
which will confer upon the Interstate
Commerce Commission the power to
superintend and regulate the financial
operations by which the railroads are
henceforth to be supplied with the
money they'need for their proper de
velopment to meet the rapidly grow
ing requirements of the country for
Increased and improved facilities of
transportation.
Dependent Prosperity
"We cannot postpone action in this
matter without leaving the railroads
exposed to many serious handicaps
and hazards; and the prosperity of the
railroads and the prosperity of tho
country are inseparably connected.
Upon this question those who are
chiefly responsible for the actual
management and operation of the
railroads have spoken very plainly and
very earnestly, with a purpose we
ought to be quick to accept. It will
be one step, and a very important one.
toward the necessary separation of tile
business of production from the busi
ness of transportation.
"The business of the country awaits
also, lias long awaited and has suffered
because it could not obtain, further
and more explicit legislative definition
of the policy and meaning of the ex
isting anti-trust laws. Nothing ham
pers business like, uncertainty. Noth
ing daunts or discourages It like the
necessity to take chances, to run the
risk of falling under the condem
nation of the law before it can make
sure just what the law Is. Surely we
are sufficiently familiar with the actual
processes and methods of monopoly
and of the many hurtful restraints of
trade to make definition possible, at
any rate up to the limits of what ex
perience has disclosed.
"These practices being now abun
dantly disclosed, inn l>e explicitly and
item by item forbidden l>y statute In
such terms as will practically ellmi
| nate uncertainty, the law Itself and
j the penalty being made equally plain.
Interstate Trade Commission
"And the business men of the ooun
j try desire something more than that
the menace of legal process In these
matters be made explicit and intelli
gible. They desire the advice, the
definite guidance and information
which can l>e supplied by an adminis
trative bod)', an Interstate trade com
mission.
"The opinion of the country would
constantly approve of such a commis
sion. It would not wish to see it em
powered to make terms with monopoly
or In any sort to assume control of
business, as if the government made
itself responsible. It demands such a
commission only as an Indispensable
instrument of information and pub
licity. as a clearing house for the facts
by which both the public and the
managers of great business undertak
ings should be guided, and as an in
strumentality for doing Justice to
business where the processes of the
courts or the natural forces of correc
tion outside the courts are inadequate
to adjust the remedy to the wrong in
a way that will meet all the equities
and circumstances of the case.
'Producing industries, for example,
which have passed the point up to
which combination may be consistent
with the public interest and the free
dom of trade, cannot always be dis-j
secte_d in their component units as i
readily as railroad companies or simi
lar organizations can be. Their disso- !
lution by ordinary legal process may |
oftentimes involve financial conse- !
quences likely to overwhelm the se- j
curity market and bring upon it break
down and confusion. There ought to
be an administrative commission
capable of directing and shaping such
corrective processes, not only in aid
of the court, but also by the inde
pendent suggestion. If necessary.
Punish Individual Offenders
"Inasmuch as our object and the
spirit of our action In these matters
is to meet business half way in its
processes of self-correction and dis
turb its legitimate course as little as
possible, we ought to see to it, and the
judgment of practical and sagacious
men of affairs everywhere would ap
plaud us if we did see to it. that penal
ties and punishments should fall, not
upon business itself, to its confusion
and Interruption, but upon the indl- I
vliluals who use the Instrumentalities
of business to do tilings wliich public
policy and sound business practice
condemn. Every act of business is
done at the command or upon the
initiative of some ascertainable per
son or group of persons.
"These should be held individually
responsible and the punishment should
fall upon them, not upon the business
organization of which they make
illegal use. It should be one of the
main objects of our legislation to
divest, such persons of their corporate
cloak and deal with them as with
those who do not represent their cor
porations, but merely by deliberate In
tention break thp law. Business men
the country through would. I am sure,
applaud us if we were to tako effectual
steps to see that the officers and
directors of great business bodies were
prevented from bringing them and the
business of the country Into disrepute
and danger.
"Other questions remain which will
need very thoughtful and practical
treatment. Enterprises, in these mod
ern days of great individual fortunes,
are oftentimes Interlocked, not by be
ing under the control of the same di
rectors, but by the fact that the
greater part of their corporate stock
Is owned by a single person or group
of persons who are In some way In
timately related in Interest.
Controlling Ownership
"We are agreed, I take It, that
lioldiiur companies should be prohibit
ed, but what of the controlling p r i.
vate ownership of individuals or ac
tually co-oiH-rative groups of individ
uals? Shall the private owners of
(apltal stock be suffered to l>e them
selves In effect holding companies?
We do not wish, I suppose, to
forbid the purchase of stocks by any
person who pleases to buy them in
such quantities as he can afford, or
In any way arbitrarily to limit the sale
of stocks to bona fide purchasers.
Shall we require the owners of stock!
when their voting power in several
companies which ought to be Inde
pendent of one another would consti
tute actual control, to make election
In which of them they will exercise
their right to vote? This question I
venture for your consideration.
"There is another matter In which
imperative considerations of justice
and fair play suggest thoughtful
remedial action. Not only do many
of the couilrfnatlons effected or sought

i An Easy Way to Get
Fat and Be Strong
The trouble with most thin folks who
wish to gain weight Is that tliev in
sist on drugging; their stomach or stuff
ing It with greasy foods; rubbing on
useless flesh creams/ or following
®°*"° foolish physical culture stunt,
w . P le real cause of thinness goes
untouched. You cannot get fat until
your digestive tract assimilates the
food you eat.
Thanks to a remarkable now scientific
discovery, it is now possible to com
nine into simple form the very element#
needed by the digestive organs to help
them convert food into rich, fat-laden
J. ; . 1,1 e master-stroke of modern
chemistry is called Sargol and has been
termed the greatest of flesh-builders.
Sargol alms through its regenerative,
re-constructive powers to coax the
stomach and intestines to literally soak
up the fattening elements of vour food
and pass them into the blood, whoro
they are carried to every starved
broken-down cell and tissue of vour
body. You can readily pieluro the re
sult when this amazing transformation
has taken place and you notice liow vour
cheeks fill out, hollows about your neck
shoulders and bust disappear and vou
take on from 10. to 2n pounds of solid,
healthy flesh. Sargol is absolutclv
| harmless inexpensive, efficient. G \

A New Discovery
Thin men and women—that big

nourishment It contained? You haven't
gained In weight one ounce. That food
passed from your body like unburned
coal through an open grate. The ma
terial was there, but your food doesn't
w-ork and stick and the plain truth is
you hardly get enough nourishment
from your meals to pay for the cost of
cooking. This is true of thin folks the
world over. Your nutritive organs, your
functions of assimilation, are sadly out
of Rear and need reeonstructlon.
Cut out the foolish foods and funnv
sawdust diets. Omit the flesh cream
rub-ons. Cut out everything but the
meals you are eating now and eat with
every one of those a single Sargol tab
let. In two weeks note the difference
Five to eight good solid pounds of
healthy, "stay there" fat should be thn
net results. Sargol too. mixes with
your food-and prepares It for the blood
In easily assimilated form. Thin peo

Thin People
Can Increase Weight
Thin men and women who would liko
Ito increase their weight with 10 or 15
ponds of healthy "stay there" fat should
try eating a little Sargol with their
meals for a while and note results. Hero
is a good test worth trying. First
\ we'gh yourself and measure yourself
Then tak« Sargol one tablet with
j every meal for two weeks. Then
1 weigh and measure again. It Isn't a
question of how you look or feel or
what your friends say ami think. Tho
scalns and the tape measure will tell
their own story, and most any thin man
or woman can easily add from five to
eight pounds In the first fourteen davi
by following this simple direction
And best of all, the new flesh stays put
Sargol does not of Itself make fat'
but mixing with your food, it turns the
fats, sugars and starches of what you
have eaten into rich, ripe, fat produc
ing nourishment for the tissues and
blood—prepares it In an easily assimi
lated form which the blood can readily
accept. All this nourishment now pass
es from your body as waste. But Sar
gol stops the waste and does It quick
ly and makes tho fat producing con
tents of the very same meals you are
eating now develop pounds and pounds
of healthy flesh between your skin and
bones Sargol is safe, pleasant, ef
