Announced Today the Execu.
tive Expects Simultaneous
Decisions on Tobacco and

THESE LITiGATIONS
QUITE VITAL ONES
Rulings for Government Would
Aid Both Administration and
PubIic-A Corporation Tax
Ruling.
(Amcrican News SCryicc)


Washington. Feb. 17.-President
Taft believes that the supreme court
will hand down decisions in the To
bacco Trust and the Standard Oil
cases at the same time. 1t was learn
ed today that the administration ex-
poets these decisions by the end of
May, though they may go over till Oc-
tober. The president, though having
no definite information, believes the
government will win.
The general opinion in legal circles
is that the supreme court will uphold
the government in the Standard Oil
suit, but in the tobacco case the bench
will be fairly evenly divided.
OF Vital Importance.
Not for a long time have two cases
of such vital Importance to the nation
at large and to an administration been
before the supreme court at the same
time, AID it is because of this that the
expectation is for speedy decisions.
The cases have powerful bearing
on the powers and attitude of the ad-
minstration and the legislation that
it seeks. They are of unusual inter
est to the general public also. because
of the crisis which has been reached in
the matter of controlling corporations,
and the effect of combination on the
cost of food and other necessaries.
The Roosevelt policies, to a large ex-
tent, are at stake now before the su-
preme court. The whole attitude Of
the former president toward the trust
problem is embodied in the suits,
whose success, should the decisions be
for the government. will rank rather
as an accomplishment of the last ad-
ministration than of the present,
which inherited them.
An Important Ruling.
Commissioned OF Internal Revenue
Cabell today issued a statement con-
cerning the returns of corporations
required under the corporation eXcize
law. He states that "As congress has
made no appropriation available for
returns cannot be opened to inspec-
ton here, and until congress does
make such appropriations the returns
are to be handled under the existing
revenue statutes.
amy person other than tax payer
making the returns or his duly ap-
pointed agent, or attorney wishing to
plication to the secretary of the treas
ury"
