TARIFF COMMISSION
STUDIES CANADIAN RATES

Washington, Nov. 2O.-The ad-
ministration is studying the maximum
tariff situation with reference to Can
ada. The tariff commission is imme-
diately concerned, of course, in gath
ering information about preferential
rates granted by the Canadian author
tiles. 1t is keeping in touch especially
with developments at Ottawa bearing
upon the ratification of the treaty with
France. The French Chamber of Dep
uties has already approved the docu-
ment
The impression prevails here that
the French treaty, if ratified at Otta-
wa, may be the only obstacle to the
continuance of United States minimum
rates after next March. 1t is believed
President Taft will rule that the pref
erential rates for Great Britain do not
constitute undue discrimination.
Business firms, engaged in trade
with Canada, are showing interest in
the situation. If the maximum tariff
is to be applied to Canada, it is said
here many more branch factories will
be built in Canada. The department
of commerce and labor has collected
statistics showing that there are lat
such branch factories now in Canada,
representing an investment of $685.

GOVERNMENT WINS SUIT
TO DISSOLVE STANDARD OIL

FOR Elmer B. Adams, William c. HOOK
and Walter H. Sanborn sat en- banc.
The governments charges against
tbe Standard Oil Company were null
titude. They ran all the way from
unfair methods of competition and the
n.vment of rebates on oil prices to the
forming of bogus companies that
have been or are now operating in the
interests of the said defendants
The names of the defendants in the
sniff brought by the government were
legion. The first name on the list was
The Standard Oil Company of New Jer'
sev This was the chief and arch Of
fender, under cover of which, and
through which, the government holds
that several men and many concerns
engaged in the oil trade carried on an
unlawful business.
AS for the men, the names of the
principal ones follow closely on the
names of the company. The govern
ment seemed to have arranged the
names in the order of its belief of the
sources of offense against the law. The
names were: John D. Rockefeller.
William Rockefeller, the late Henry H.
Rogers, Henry M. Flagler, Oliver H.
Payne and Charles M. Pratt. The gov.
ernment's prayer for the dissolution Of
the oil trust covered several pages of
manuscript.

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov 20-The govern.
ment today won the great suit to dis.
solve the Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey, the parent Rockefeller
corporation, of $1OO,OOO,OOO capital.
The decision was announced in the
United States circuit court by Judge
Elmer B. Adams.
The government case was brought
under the direction of former Presi.
dent Roosevelt by Frank B. kellogg.
special deputy attorney general.
The only exceptions made in favor
of the oil trust are in relation to some
of the minor subsidiary companies.
which were named as defendants.
These, it is held, are not clearly
shown to be dominated by the trust.
The orders Of the court, affecting the
monster Rockefeller corporation, do
not take effect for 80 days.
An appeal can be made directly to
it is expected that the Standard will
take such action.
The opinion was written by Judge
Walter Sanborn. The court finds that
the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey and the individual defendants,
including the chief figures in the oil
trust, and several subsidiary compa.
MES, have entered into a combination
in restraint of trade among the sew.
eral states, such as is declared illegal
by the Sherman antitrust law. The
opinion is unanimous.
Judge Hook also wrote a separate
opinion, making a number of points
for the government stronger than in
the opinion read by the court.
The Standard of New Jersey is en-.
joined from voting the stock of the
subsidiary companies by holding their
stock.
Other defendant companies are en-
joined from declaring or paying any
dividends to the Standard of New Jer.
sey on account of stock acquired
through combination or from permit.
ting a combination vote of the said
stock.
This case is one of the most me.
morable in the records of jurispru
dence.

TAFT is URGED TO
RETAIN BIG STICK

London, Nov. 20.-Nothing could be
more agreeable to Europe, so far as
Central American affairs are concern
ed, than such turn of events on the
Nicaraguan coast as would give Wash
ington good grounds for drastic action.
1T is to be hoped" says the London
Review, that Mr.. Roosevelt did not
take the big stick with him to Africa,
and that President Taft knows where
to lay his hand on it.
There may be two opinions as to
the expediency of welding it in inter-
nal concerns, such as corporation ag-
gressiveness, like the Standard Oil,
and corporation iniquity, like the
American Sugar. That is for the Wash
ington administration to say.
But if the United States is to en-
force the Monroe doctrine and main
tain the hegemony of the western
world, the plainest of plain duties to
the rest of the Universe requires that
the brawling Latin states near the
Isthmus be fiogged into some sense of
discipline"

BITTER TILT OVER
RAILROAD CONTROL

Washington, Nov. 20.-The feeling
of resentment on the part of some
state railroad commissioners against
what they term the wish of the inter
state commerce commits sion to "hog"
all the supervision over railroads,
reached climax at the convention of
the National Association of Railway
Commissioners, when the convention
was asked to approve the Esch bill
of the last congress to empower the
interstate commission to investigate
all accidents on railroads engaged in
interstate commerce.
Commissioner Earle, of South Caro-
lima, lead in the denunciation of the
bill Mr. Clark, of the interstate com.

Burr, of Florida, finally offered sug-
gestion that the bill be approved, if
amended so as to specify it was in no
way to interfere with the right of the
states. This course was pursued.

COAST BUSINESS MEN
TO SEE LATIN-AMERICA

Seattle, Nov. 2O.-A business mems
excursion, made up of representatives
IF the different commercial organiza-
lions in Washington. oregon and Cal
lfornia, will go on seven weeks ex-
cursion to ports in Mexico and some
of the Central American republics on
the steamship Erna, of the Jebsen
line, which will sail from Seattle JAN
uary 6.
At the pres ent time the trade chief
y consists of wheat, barley, flour, coal,
lumber, wood piping, box shocks, port
able houses, canned goods, groceries,
fish, machinery and logging equip
ments, and the like, the return cargoes
being made up of ores, coffee, hard
wood, sugar, salt, rubber, rope fiber
broom root and tropical fruits and
nuts.
That the amount of business between
the Sound country and the South can
be greatly augmented, if Sound manu-.
facturers have an opportunity to see
for themselves the necessities of the
Latin-American republics, is the ex
pectation, and to bring the Southern
merchants in closer touch with the
Sound an excursion from the Central
American ports to Seattle will likely
be arranged later on.
With the completion of the Panama
canal the ports to the north of the
canal zone will be placed on what is
expected to be one of the greatest
trade routes of the world, and ship
pers in the American Northwest are
expected to make an early bid for a
big share of the traffic.

SEATTLE DOCK LEASED
BY GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC

Seattle, Nov. 22.-The Flyer dock
property at the foot of Madison street
has been leased for long term of
years to the Grand Trunk Pacific rail
road Under the terms of the lease
the railroad must improve the prop
erty at once with a modern dock COW
ering the entire property.
The Flyer dock property has a front
age of 21O feet on Railroad avenue
and extends out into the water for a
distance of 600 feet. It is said that
the property will be improved with a
dock far more elaborate and expensive
than the Colman pier at present con-
sidered the best on the harbor front.
