The Supreme Court yesterday afternoon
restored, to the docket for reargument
the corporation tax cases.
This means that the cases cannot come
up before the middle of october, and pos
sibly later.
It postpones the decision in these i'm
portant cases for at least seven months
and possibly longer.
In the meantime the Treasury Depart
rnent will find itself in an uncomfortable
situation owing to the delay. They VIII
be In the attitude OF collecting a tax
under a law whose constitutionality is
apparently seriously doubted by part OF
the Supreme Court.
The Treasury has collected about S6oo'0oC
under this new law already, but this
amount has been kept segregated up tc
this time, in the hope that the Supreme
Court would hand down its decision. The
tax Is not due until today. The depart
ment intends 10 go ahead and make col
lections, enforcing the penalties where
the tax Is not paid The tax It Is esu
mated viii yield about $25,000,Ooo
The government will be obliged to pal
this amount back If the law is finally hel'
10 be unconstitutional
The Treasury officials have been count
ing on returns from this tax to avoid I
bond issue. The action of the suprem
Court is the serious disappointment tha
the Taft administration has sustainet
from that body.
Hara Blow TO Administration.
The redocketing Of the Standard Oh
and Tobacco trust cases was hard blow
TO the administration. as Mr.. Taft AM
his advisers had felt confident that the!
would get a decision in the corporation
tax cases
The action of the court means, It !
believed. that it was divided four to thre
OF the cases. Whether the four for 0
against the government is. of course
unknown. It is believed that the cour
decided in these cases. as in the Stan
dard Oil and Tobacco trust cases, tha
thev were tco Important TO be decide
except by a majority Of the entire men
bership Of nine.
The postponement Of the decision near
Gov Hughes viii be an important factC
in deciding the corporation tax as we
as the Standard Oil and Tobacco tru'
cases.

The Department Of Justice was reliev-
ed last night when it received word from
f. P. Grosvenor, one of the Attorney
Generals assistants. that Judge David j.
Dyer of the Federal district court at
HannibaIMo., had granted an injunction
restraining twenty-five railroads in the
Middle west from putting into effect in
creases in freibht rates.
The Attorney General has been bend
ing every effort since early yesterday TO
obtain such an injunction before midnight.
His failure would have meant that the
Increases. WHICH range all the way from
10 TO 30 per cent would have gone into
effect as the hands Of the clock moved
into Junel. and would have remained
operative pending the suit against the
railroads under the Sherman antitrust
act.
The effect Of the injunction viii be
to give the shippers Of the Middle West
the benefit Of the lower rates while the
litigation is being threshed out in the
courts.
Administration Alarmed.
Just how serious the administration re
CARDS the general increase in freight
rates is indicated by the fact that tnt
possibility was considered at the White
House yesterday Of the President send
ing a special message to Congress. urg
ing immediate legislation empowering th'
/ Interstate Commerce Commission 10 pas
upon all rates objected to by shippers
before they should go into effect.
Senator La Toilette yesterday intro
duced a resolution in the Senate calling
upon the Attorney General to institut
/ proceedings Immediately to enjoin tn
roads from advancing their rates.
The Attorney General already ha
moved before the Wisconsin Senator
resolution was presented.
Senator La Toilette sought also to IN
troduce a joint resolution declaring It I
be unlawful TO advance rates withou
the consent Of the Interstate Commerc
Commission.
The interest OF the administration /
