Click on image to zoom in
Theodore Roosevelt tells Representative Martin that he believes that William Dudley Foulke’s article about the German and Canadian experiments show the first “really practical way” out of the monopoly matter. Roosevelt agrees with Martin that competition should determine prices, but when corporations become too powerful and the government is faced with a choice between price regulation by monopolies or price regulation by law, it is necessary to regulate prices by law.
