Major Guthrie on trusts and a North Carolina remedy
A reader argues trusts exist in North Carolina and are illegal under state law. The piece reviews constitutional limits on corporations, NC Code sections on dissolution and injunctive action, and proposes remedies including targeted licensing based on moral character, plus possible charter repeal. Comparisons to Michigan and public safety analogies illustrate a push for state-led enforcement against trusts.

Postscript on trusts and constitutional law in North Carolina
The author defends a prior article on trusts and argues they are monopolies that challenge republican government. He cites Article 1, section 31 of the North Carolina Constitution and mentions 1776 Bill of Rights to claim monopolies ought not to be allowed. He disputes Prof. Dowd's view that trusts cannot be uprooted by statutes, and discusses public good versus evil in the context of trusts. References include Mecklenburg County and local Alliance meeting notes.
