equally on important points of conten-
tlon-preSumably four to three.
The situation with reference to the
corporation tax law is almost identical
That, too. IS to be reargued, and, as
far as any one outside of the members
of the court knows, because the JUS
tees were so evenly divided that it
was deemed advisable, if possible, to
have more positive division when the
new justice or new justices should be
sworn in. Governor Hughes of New
ork has been nominated and confirmed
to succeed the late Justice Brewer, and
has only to take the official oath be
fore he becomes in fact a justice of the
court for life. That would make a full
bench, but as Justice Moody is inca
pacitated, only eight justices for the
hearing of the three eases mentioned
can be certain.
Therefore it is believed that upon the
enactment of retirement bill in behalf
of Justice Moody he will retire forth
with, and that President Taft in few
days may actually name another justice.
Then a full court of nine members would
be assured in the autumn, providing all
of the nine members are alive and well

Antitrust Cases.

1t is, of course, quite generally I'M
derstood that the seven members of the
court who were upon the bench at the
Teeetp,tt ut, session are badly divided over
man antitrust law. That law, after
many years, is being brought to final
test in the litigation to dissolve the
Standard Oil Company and also to dis
solve the Tobacco Trust eases. Both
those cases were argued some time ago,
and shortly afterward Justice Brewer
died. The arguments were made before
a court of eight members, as Justice
Moody has been i'll in Massachusetts,
with rheumatism for year. There was
a period of suspense in the business
world to determine whether the court
had really reached decision in those
eases. It was followed by an announce
ment that there would be reargument
in the autumn. While the court con
fined itself to that simple announce
ment, it was very apparent that the re

(Mau Special to The Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, June 16.-The pros,
pect that President Taft Will probably
have an opportunity very soon, perhaps
within a week, to nominate another
justice of the Supreme Court. empha-
sizes anew the great influence he is
exercising IN the makeup of that tribu-
nal for a number of wears. In some
thing less than seven months President
Taft has had the nomination of two
Supreme Court Justices If the bills

Representative Gillett in their respect.
i've branches of congress become law
forthwith, as is expected, allowing Mr..
Justice Moody to retire any time within
SIX months on full pay, it is quite GER
tain that the President will have the
nomination of another Justice, making
three, or one-third of the entire court
of nine.
Since Lincoln s time, at least, no
President has had such an opportunity
to put upon the Supreme Court the
caliber of men he thinks should serve
there and to make those nominations
at very vital period in litigation over
the constitutional question at issue
there. 1t is entirely within the proba-
bilities that the two or three men the
President will have nominated to the
court before next December can have
a deciding voice about the constitutions
ality of much of the antitrust and cor
poration legislation.

Knew Governor Hughes Ideas.

1t is taken for granted that Presi-
dent Taft did not nominate Governor
Hughes without some knowledge Of
what the latter's attitude would be
upon some of the great constitutional
questions pending. It will be equally
true of another new justice, if one IS
appointed That does not mean the
President ascertained whether Governor
Hughes would vote for or against the
constitutionalitv Of the Sherman anti
trust law or of the corporation tax. He
was too long upon the bench himself
and would be too averse to any idea Of
packing the court to do that. And

satisfy himself about the general sound

Tie Posi- BILE.

Unless Justice Moody does retire and
his successor is named and confirmed
before the adjournment Of congress,
there is small likelihood that the three
great eases mentioned can be argued
before more than eight justices. That
might result in even further embarraSs-
ment, because of the chance that the
court would divide equally. In such
an outcome the constitutionality of the
Sherman antitrust law would be affirm
ed because it comes up on an appeal
from circuit courts of appeal where the
constitutionality was upheld. But such
decisions would be unfortunate and
would not carry the conviction among
the people that Supreme Court decisions
'ought to earry. CONTROVERSY over The
