Later he expressed the opinion that a
graduated duty on zinc ore would be
substituted for the present provision.
He believed this scale would amount
to about One-fOurth of a cent a pound

the duty is made one cent a pound on

DUTY ON PRINTING PAPER

S1.5S per ton on wood pulp. which is a

Senator Aldrich, as chairman of the
finance committee. has prepared an
amendment regulating the action Of the
president in carrying into effect the
maximum and minimum provision Of

The purpose is to place authority for

hands of the president without giving
him such latitude as would permit an

It is intended especially to prevent
the Ofsetting of one article of export by
another article OF import, and it is be

Elementary decision in the rate case, in

As TO the contention that the court
was I'm error in its original opinion in
that the penalties of the statutes rem

holds that this section of the state
statutes imposing penalties is void.
Question of Rates.
ON the point of fixing the rates.
Judge Mcpherson says, in part:
complaint is made because of the
recital i'm my opinion that 1T being a
legislative act and not a judicial one,
this court cannot fix rates. If il could,
2rz-ceut passenger rates would be fixed
for the stronger roads and tor the
others. But that is for the legislature

state employed in these cases. or
through a commission with like assist

My statement that il being a leeis-

court cannot fix rates is not ContTovert-
