the Way The Consumer Is Held

Some light on this subject is shed by
a number of the wholesale grocers Of
New York. They have made complaints.
to the United States attorney, that what
amounts to a crimal conspiracy exists
among good many manufacturers to
maintain high prices to the consumer
BY virtue of this conspiracy, is it charged,
they compel wholesalers to keep up prices
at an exorbitant figure. The New York
World has secured copies of some of the
contracts and afidavits manufacturers
have been compelling wholesale dealers
to sign. the effect of which, the World
shows, has been to increase prices from
20 TO 80 per cent to housewives on many
of the staple articles needed in every
kitchen.
The contracts cited by the World bind
the wholesalers to sell at certain figure
"a figure beyond all reason. No orders
are filled unless that contract is signed.
Y Tariff trusts tax him for the last penny
the tariff enables them to gouge out OF
him And proprietary concerns tax him
~ means of contracts which refuse TO
allow dealers to handle the article except
under an ironclad agreement to charge
an outrageous profit And these manu-.
facturers are combined in an organization
representing capitalization of nearly
100000. 900 and when any luckless
dealer violates his contract with any one
OF them he has the entire combination
to fight There is therefore no com.
pS-tion, and no chance for any. The
combine 6xes the price, and the con.
sumner must pay for it or 90 without.
And the man who attempts to fight a
foodstuffs combine by refusing to eat has
heavy odds against him. "
The Sherman act is still on the statute

Concerning tie results of inquiries into

that recently investigations have shown
that the two great sources Of loss to the

WASHINGTON LETTER.

President Taft has set his Cabinet
aghast by proposal. which, whatever
else its purpose, would serve first of all to
save the Standard Oil Trust from the
dissolution decreed by the decision recent
~ rendered by the Federal Circuit Court
ard soon to be passed upon by the
Federal Supreme Court. Seconded by
Senator Aldrich and Speaker Cannon,
be is seriously considering message to
Congress urging Federal incorporation
act, one of the old Roosevelt ideas, for
which the three advocates it has SO
suddenly won never before showed such
fondness as they are now exhibiting.
Moreover, Mr.. Taft is credited with a
desire to have the law enacted before the
Supreme Court can render decision on
the Oil Trust knockout.
So sinister is the proposition on its
face, although the President has an ar
gument in its favor, that an important
difference of opinion has arisen between
Mr.. Taft and his official advisers. The
Cabinet wants him to withhold his mes
sage, but the President frankly admits
apprehension of Supreme Court decision
adverse to the Oil Trust as his reason for
Recommending the legislation now He
wants the new law quickly, and tina,
apparently, is the attitude of Aldrich and
Cannon.
The Presidents argument is that bust
ness generally will suffer if the Supreme
Court affirms the finding of the Circuit
Court in the dissolution case, and that be
strongly favors what might be termed
vaccination" of the body corporate by
the administration of legislative remedy
before the evil appears On the other
hand, Congressional leaders fear such q
course would merely supply ammunition
to the oppcnents:of the Administration
by giving them an excuse to charge that
the force of the Taft regime is being d.
rected toward creating, shelter for
monopolies.

JUDGE STEVENS REVERSED.

The supreme court yesterday
handed down an opinion con-
STRUNG the statute relative to
the fee to be charged by county
auditors for recording an affi-
davit of proof of labor upon min
ing claims, holding that where
the affidavit covers work upon
several claims 80 cents shall be
charged for each and every
claim.
The case under consideration
was that of the Empire Copper
company VS.. G. NJ. Henderson,
ex-officio auditor and recorder of
Custer county in which the plain
tiff sought writ of mandate to
compel the auditor to file an
affidavit of proof of labor upon
30 mining claims for fee of so
cents. Judgment was entered
by the district court in favor of
the plaintiff, whereupon an ap-
peal was taken by Henderson.
The judgment by Judge Stevens
is reversed.
The court says in part: The
language of the statute under
consideration, when read as a
whole, is clear and would seem
to furnish its own Interpretation
The provisions of the act
throughout deal with mining
claims in the singlar. III refer
ences in the act are to single
mining claims, and when provis-
ion is made for making annual
proof of assessment work it is
in relation to a single mining
claim. If the proof to be made
has reference to single claim
and the fee to be charged is for
recording the affidavit of proof
upon a single claim, then it
would necessarily seem to fol-
low, that if the affidavit furnish
ed proof of labor upon more than
one claim, the charge should be
with reference to the number of
claims embraced in the affida-
vit. Boise Statesman.
