Government Rebu6ed In
Standard Oil Hearing

Chicago. March 4.-Attorney John s.
Miller raised a puzzling question in
the Standard Oil trial before Judge An
derson yesterday, when he contended
that Tariff No. "a the strongest
weapon in the hands of the govern
ment in the present trial. which was
framed by q tariff commission. was
in itself unlawful. as it was nothing
more or less than rate agreement be-
tween certain railroads. The whole
case may hinge on the courts view OF
this question.
The raising OF this question threw
the government attorneys into confus-
ion for the moment. Assistant Unit
ed States District Attorney Wilkerson
Immediately objected to the line of ex-
animation on Tariff No. a. that
Mr.. Miller was using with the witness
on the stand, but Judge Anderson
overruled the objection and allowed
Mr.. Miller to proceed with his ques-

Congress Is First to Feel Its
Point, Being Prodded to an
Early Completion of Tariff
Problem. &c.,.
AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE
ANXIOUS TO FINISH JOB
Congress Is Also of the Same
Spirit and 1t Is Probable the
Gigantic Task Will End on
June First.
BY Sheldon s. Cline.

Washington, March 4.-The sharp
stick" instead Of the big stick" may
become the symbol of the Taft admin
ts.ration. Congress is the first to feel
Its point. and the cause of the prod
ding is the forthcoming tariff bill. Mr..
Taft wants congress to get hurry on
ITSELF and have the successor of the
Dingley act ready for his signature by
June 1.
This is the first stand Mr.. Taft has
taken, as the successor of Mr.. Roose-
gress and the executive, and in it he
will have the sympathetic support not
only of congress, but of the entire
country. II there is one thing mere
than another that the American peo-
pie want just now it is that the job OF
tariff revision shall be completed in
the shortest possible time.
Congress Also Anxious.
Congress is just as anxious as are
the president and the people to have
the task finished, but has been doubt
full of its own ability to achieve early
legislation. The most optimistic OF
the congressional leaders. while talk
ing June, have been figuring on July
OF August, while those pessimistic
turn of mind have set the time when
the tariff bill would pass. all the way
from September to November.
viii Help a Lot.
Mr.. Taft's stand for June 1 will help
lot toward having the work finished
by that time. 1t will fix the minds OF
the country on that date, and the
committees and houses Of congress will
do their work with it in mind. More
than anything else. however, it will
give the leaders in congress courage to
push the measure through, to fight
down opposition and overcome obstruc-
ton. Had Speaker Cannon and Sen
ator Aldrich and two or three other
leaders in each house, gotten together
and agreed upon June l as the date for
finally passing the bill, they would
have had to stand under the charge OF
gagging congress and forcing through
hasty and ill-considered legislation, but
with the prestige Of the president OF
the United States back of the effort
to pass the bill by the list Of June
there will be much less Of criticism
and complaint.
