Jasper County Democrat, Volume 9, Number 31, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 November 1906 — LOOTERS OF THE PUBLIC. [ARTICLE]

LOOTERS OF THE PUBLIC.

The attorney-general of Indiana again declares that there is no effective law in this state against the trusts, and he is saying on the stump that that is the reason why he has taken no steps against the Standard OH company, the bridge trust and other despoilers of the people and the tax payers. And why is there no law in Indiana against the trusts? What has the Republican party been doing in Indiana for the past twelve years, during all of which time it has been in absolute control of the state government and the legislature? Why has this party left the people at the mercy of men who combined to swindle individuals and to loot the treasuries of whole communities? The answer is easy. The men who have been and are now managing the Republican party in this state would not allow an anti-trust law to be passed.
