New Mexico VIII Not Tax
Efforts of Citizens to
Real1tifY Grounds.

Santa Fe, n NJ, Nov. 5.-The new
constitution provides that in valung
and assessing lands for taxation, no ad-
ditional valuation or assessment shall
be made for shade or ornamental trees
growing thereon, nor on account OF fruit
or nutbearing trees or vines thereon
until they reach the age at which they
respectively become productive.
Provisions providing for a commission
er of agriculture at $4,000 year; for
a commissioner of labor, for forest con-
servation on state lands and water
power sites, were all rejected.
An effort to include clause giving
settlers the right to take and sell free
timber from the state lands also went
down to defeat.
Economy was the slogan that killed
the proposition to create the offices of
labor and agricultural commissioners.
When the convention met Friday aft
ernoon to take UP the important sched-
ules on state, county and municipal
taxation, there was found to be such
difference of opinion that recess was
taken until Monday afternoon to per
NIT the delegates to get together IN
formally on the subject.

at the close of todayis session. This
is due to dissatisfaction over the in
itiative and referendum clause. Para
graph s, adopted yesterday, extended
the provision to counties. Today
amendments to the amended para
graph appeared and before the morn
ing session closed, it became impossi-
bic to follow the arguments, this inca
pacity extending to the speakers
themselves.
1T is now believed by what appears
to be a majority that counties should
not be allowed the initiative and refer
endum privilege, and therefore one Of
the dozen or so amendments passed to-
day is expected to be adopted.

Whole Bill May Fail

In fact, the differences between the
senate and the house are so great that
it would surprise nobody if the entire
bill should fail in conference.
So serious became the situation of
the bin late today that President Taft
himself, at Pittsburg, was advised of
the situation over the telephone by
Senator Aldrich.
Despairing of putting the bill
through the senate as reported from
the committee on interstate commerce,
the leaders in this conference tonight
decided to eliminate section Z which
the insurgents claim practically would
have repealed the Sherman anti trust
law by permitting traffic agreements,
and section IL, which would have legal
lied mergers in cases where one rail-
road corporation owning already so per
cent of another desired to control out
right.
Upon the insurgents. the administra-
tion will endeavor TO place the respon-
sibility for the failure of the Taft rail-
road legislation. To Senator AIdrich
over the telephone Taft is said 10 have
expressed himself emphatically to this
effect

STATES UPHELD IN
ANTITRUST FIGHT
Supreme Court Affirms Deci-
sions Against Standard Oil
and Lumber Combine

WASHINGTON, May 2.-The hands of
the states in their fight against trusts
were upheld today by the supreme court
of the United States.
The Association of Retail Lumber
Dealers in Mississippi and Louisiana
was disbanded by affirmation of the
decree of the supreme court of Mis-
sissppi; the Standard oil company of
Kentucky was ousted from Tennessee
by the approval of the decree of the
supreme court of Tennessee. Both, the
state courts had held, violated the anti
trust act of the respective states.
Justice Lurton announced the opin-
ion of the court in the Mississippi case.
1t was his first utterance from the su-
preme court bench on the trust ques-
tion. He accepted the findings of the
state courts and considered only wheth-
fourteenth amendment by abridging
the freedom of contract.
THAT any one of the persons en-
gagged in the retail lumber business
might have made fixed rule of con-
duct not to buy his stock from a pro-
ducer or wholesaler who would sell to
the consumers in competition with him
self, is plain" said the justice. mo
law which would infringe his freedom
of contract in that particular would
stand.
But when the plaintiffs in error com
bine and agree that no one of them
will trade with any producer or whole
saler who shall sell to consumer in
the trade range of any of them, quite
another case is presented.
AN act harmless when done by any
one may become a public wrong when
done by many acting in concert, for il
then takes on the form of conspiracy
and may be prohibited or punished If
the result be hurtful to the public or
to the Individual against whom the con-
certed action is directed"

Taft Wants No Blame

He said he had initiated the pending
measure and had advocated it through
out the country in the form in which it
WAS reported to the senate. and. If A
combination of insurgent republicans
and democrats rendered it impossible
for the republican majority to enact
the bill he felt the administration
should be relieved of responsibility for
its defeat. He rested the entire matter
in the hands of Senator Aldrich and
his republican associates. who were
then in conference.
In the conference were Senators Al
drich, Ell&ins, Carter, Kean, Crane.
Root, Curtis. Flint Brandegee. Lodge
and, from time to time, other republi-
can leaders.
Although admittedly stopped from
passing the bill in the form in which
they wished, the administration sena-
tors at once began the formulation of
plans to take away from the insurgent
republicans the chance to claim clean
cut victory. They even wore an air of
jubilation tonight over the prospect of
putting the insurgents to rout on the
pending Cummins amendment to the
traffic agreement section, which will be
the first matter voted upon when the
bill is again taken up, perhaps tomor-
row.
When the original Cummins amend
ment TO this section introduced as a
! cnh het into fnr flo
vision was voted upon Saturday the
| administration senators won by a mar
gin of six votes 1t was generally
supposed this vote constituted a test of
succeeding votes and that the Elkins-
Crawford amendment, which its oppo
| repeating the Sherman antitrust law
so far as its application to railroads is
concerned, would be adopted But there
were so many absentees Saturday that
the result with the full membership
present could not be foretold.
From a message received from some
of the absentees it was evident the
regular republicans would meet with a
reversal on the next vote, for under
the senate rules a vote easily could be
delayed until the arrival of the alb
sentees. After the vote Saturday SEN
ator Cummins Immediately offered an
other amendment to accomplish the
same purpose as that which had just
been voted down.
AS the pending Cummins amendment
is offered as a substitute for the Elkins-
Crawford provision no motion can side
track this provision; it must be dis
posed of before any other step can be
taken. That is where the administra-
tion senators believe they have the
whip hand of their opponents.
Eliminate the Section
The republican leaders discovered
there were certain members who pre-
| ferred the Cummins to the Elkins
Crawford amendment but were op-
posed to the entire traffic section. These
senators did not hesitate to enter into
an agreement with the regular repub-
licans to vote against the Cumnins
