MIGIIATION OF THIS TllUSTS
The laws of Texas havo been so con-

Investment and to mako It very difficult
for those that aro monopolistic or calcu-
lated to control or restrain trado In cer

Other States arc beginning to find out
that tho peoplo must bo protected and
the trusts regulated In the last year or
so several States havo enacted very ntrln
gont laws in connection with tho operation
of theso monopolistic corporations Illi-
nois has boon quite conspicuous In this
respect recently and as a naturnl result
tho trusts aro beginning to abuso that
Stato and aro threatening to go olsowuoro
