President Taft states 1t, proposing
supplemental legislation. Senator
Kenyon OF Iowa, former trust buster
of the department Of justice. has in
troduced his bill TO amend the Grimm
al section Of the statute so as to make
it easier for the government to obtain
jail sentences from juries. In order
that this might be accomplished, the
Iowan has provided that offenses under
the law shall be deemed misdemeanors
instead of felonies. Mr.. Kenyon be-
lieves the average jury selected to try
cases OF this kind will be more ready
to send men to jail when they are not
branded as criminals for mere statu-
tory offenses." While this proposed
amendment may be strongly opposed by
the extreme radicals, it is believed a
majority of both houses win be dis
posed to look upon 1t favorably, as
promising to make the Sherman law
more certain
Representative Campbell Of Kansas
has dropped into the hopper bill pro-
hibiting manufacturers and corpora
tions charging less for a given article
in one section of the country than in
another. The purpose Of Mr.. Camp
bell is to prevent the trusts from
undertaking their competitors and
driving them out of business. The
underselling method has been most ef-
fective in the hands OF gigantic COM
binations of capital such as the STAN
dard Oil Co. Mr.. Campbell has good
reason as Kansan for knowing some
thing of the operations Of the Standard
along this line. Some of his personal
friends were "stung." Mr.. Taft In his
trust message touched on the import
ance OF legislation Of this kind. The
favorite practice Of some great corr
porations has been to put their prices
down below the cost Of production, run
out of business their competitors and
then proceed to charge ANY old price"

Taft STRUCK
right CHORD
Continued From Page one.

George w. Perkins, in which he even
advocated Jail sentences for officers Of
corporations that deliberately violate
this statute also will go far toward
convincing doubtful members OF both
houses that so-called trust magnates
are now wide awake to the fact that
both the Taft administration and con-
gress mean business in the present
anti-trust campaign.
las heretofore stated in these dis
catches, there is one element Of un-
certainty in any attempt to amend the
Sherman law. There are those in both
houses who view with alarm the grow
ing sentiment in favor of essential
changes In the law. These men are
fearful lest the apparent readiness OF
big corporation officers to have the
statute amended is based on the belief
that any change would again throw the
law into the courts for Interpretation
ana that long delay might follow.
There may be some ground for this
feeling. However, with the United
States supreme court constituted as at
present it is reasonably certain that no
dilatory tactics would be upheld by
that tribunal
The speed with which the supreme
court disposed of the application Of
the Chicago packers for stay in their
present trial under the criminal sec
ton of the law should convince every
body that the highest judicial tribunal
Is weary OF the dilly dallying tactics Of
big offenders against the statute and
determined that justice shall take its
course, and that as quickly as may be.
Already several bills have been in
troduced in congress proposing amend
ments to the Sherman law, or, as

in control of the house is determined
that the tariff should be the dominating
issue OF the session so far as congress
is concerned. They, therefore, resent
the failure OF the president to so much
as mention this important subject.
The feeling of the democrats over
the ignoring of the tariff in the first
presidential message OF the session is
taken by republicans as clear indi-
cation that the dominant party in the
house is determined to play politics
to a fare you well. and from the out
set. There also is feeling that the
democrats are jealous OF the success OF
the Taft administration in it's anti
trust prosecutions and somewhat fear
ful lest the tariff Issue be subordinated.
This Is natural enough when 1t is re-
called that the democrats carried the
house on the tariff issue and are de-
pending upon it to carry the national
election next year.

Serving Soup.

If anybody were asked to suggest
why the soup plate was made broad
and shallow the almost certain answer
would be that such an arrangement
facilitates the cooling Of the soup to
temperature comfortable to the mouth.
We believe that utilitarians drink tea
out Of a saucer for the same reason.
While that may be the explanation OF
the peculiar shape of the soup plate,
the advantage indicated is surely In
