BIG TRUST CASES
TO Be TAKEN UP
Concluded from First Page.)


In the contest regarding the an
swer TO the question Of What is
restraint of trade or commerce. the
first dispute is over the interpretation
Of restraint of trade as equivalent
to "the absence of free competition
The government advances the theory
that reduction of competition means
restraint on trade and consequently
gAer prices. The corporations urge
That combination Of producers may
iIean reduction of expenses anc
Consequently lower prices
The government further contends
that the Sherman anti-truct law refers
only to such restraints as are direct
and material. One judge in passins
on the Tobacco case in the circuit
court held that the lazy referred to
restraint without regard to directness
oT materially 1t is said that this
octrine would sti1e legitimate bust
ness. The defendant organizations
10 not press this argument so much,
because they claim in their cases that
no direct ami material restraint OF
commerce exists. This claim is basel
1pon the argument that they are en-
gagged principally, not in interstate
.ecmmerce as were the railroads In
tae Northern Securities case, but in
thc manufacture OF goods, which may
eo into interstate commerce later
The third division OF the contest is
yer the Interpretation of the word
monopolize." The Standard Oil is
particularly concerned with this
paase OF the controversy, because the
lower court found that it was attempt
ing to monopoli2e. Attorneys for the
company advance the argument thai

10 Corporation Tax Cases.
Tie corporation tax cases, eighteen
in al, involve entirely different argu-
ments, The corporation tax provis-
ious of the Payne-Ald.ieh tariff act
provide for "a special exercise tax
with respect to the carrying on or
doing business" by corporations,
equivalent to one per centum upon
tho entire net income over and above
$4,000
Each OF the cases was originated IN
various circuit courts by persons Fl.
financially interested IN the tax not
being paid. These persons asked the
courts to enioin the payment Of the
tax Ivy respective corporations be-
uee tie tax was unconstitutional
The validity of the tax was upheld in
each case.
The law is opposed principally on
the grounds that it attacks the SOW
ereiguty Of the states by taking state
franchises; that IL inyades the right
TO due process Of law by levying tax
on classes fixed arbitrarily; and that
Fit ia direct tax not apportioned
among the states, as required by the

MILLER LOST AFTER
A GREAT BATTLE

Minneapolis, May 1s.-Walter Miller
gave Fred Beell of Marshfield, wis,
one of the toughest battles of his
career last night in a red hot wrestling
match at the Dewey theatre. Beell
said afterward that he wouldn't care
to meet grappler like Miller every
day in the week.
Although Miller made a splendid
showing Beell won in two straight
falls, gaining the first in thirty one
minutes and the second in twenty
seven minutes. The hot weather
kept the attendance down. to the min
imum, but those who braved the heat
saw one of the best matches for many
days. Beell out-weighed Miller by
about twelve pounds but the welter-
weight champion made him extend
himself from start to the finish. Early
in the first bout Miller slammed the
Wisconsin man to the floor rather
viciously. This seemed to peeve Bell
and he got busy with his bone-break-
ing stunts. Finally he got leg hold
on Miller that spelled broken leg or
given up and Miller chose the latter
without hesitation. Beells favorite
heard hold was brought into play in
the second bout and again Miller was
in such a position that he was forced
to give up or suffer broken bones.
