Presi dent M. E. Ingalls of the Merchants' National Bank of Cincinnati and chair man of the Big Four Railway, in an ad dress before the Ohio Bankers' Asso ciation, created something of a stir by declaring that the greatest menace to American business and banking interests today is the various trade law which have been passed, particularly the Hep burn and the Sherman acts. The United State, he said, had just started in its development, and this de velopment depends upon wise and gener ous encouragement. Yet, under the con struction placed upon the Sherman act by the courts, a business man who comes to any agreement with competitors is guilty of an act in restraint of trade and is liable to punishment. Mr. Ingalls believed that the common people would suffer more from such a suppression of business as a result of this law than anyone else. Mr. Ingalls, describing the new Hep iKirn bill, said it was the shipper who tempted the railroads. He thought the law recently passed by Congress and numerous State Legislature? ought to be entitled "Laws in restraint of the commerce of the country." Mr. Ingalls predicted that within two years the halls of Congress would be filled with ship per demanding a change in the recently enacted statutes. Prosperity in America, be said, was now at a great height. He sounded a note warning against the growing ten dency of extravagance among the Ameri can people. A an illustration, he point ed to the fact that $400,000,000 had been spent in automobiles in the last three or four vcars, and this was but one item. SANTO D0M1N00 IN FERMENT.
