was a championship and that now
Sam White had brought the Tiger his
hearts desire by clicking" Harvard
and Yale.
Whites athletic career is interest
ing. He entered Princeton in 1908
after having prepared" at Exeter. He
played on the football and the base
ball teams of his freshman year.. He
made good at third base in that year.
On the football team. which lost to
Yale freshmen. he played at left end.
In his sophomore year White pul vi
a star game for the Tigers at third
base and at the end of the season was
elected captain Of the 1911 baseball
team. In the spring Of 1910 his fine
work clearly earned him the ~captaincy
for the coming year. He batted over
800. and his fielding got him the repu-
tation Of one Of the best third base
men in intercollegiate circles.
White did not play football in his
sophomore year, but made the varsity
basketball team. He was forced to
choose football or basketball. He chose
the latter, for. while today White is
one of the greatest football heroes
since the days Of Yale's Coy, he does
not like the game.
On the eleven that came 80 near
beating Yale last fall White played
regularly at left end.
This season White played irregularly
on the football team. His form at the
beginning Of the season was not the
best. and he was given a short vaca-
ton. but when both Vaughan and
Phillips failed to make good at the
wing positions White a put back
there.
White has done little in athletics
outside Of baseball and football. The
basketball that he has played outside
Of his season with the varsity was
merely to keep him in trim.

because of "untirine energy. infinite

investment OF early profits.'f The
government has piled up volume on
volume to support its contention that
success was achieved b. unfair COM
petition.
The corporation tax cases, eighteen
in all, involve entirely different argu-
ments. The corporation tax pIoyi-
sions of the Payne Aldrich tariff act
provide for IA special excise tax with
respect to the carrying on or doing
business by corporations. equivalent
t. one per centum upon the entire net
income over and above $4,000"
Each of the eases was originated in
various circuit courts by persons
financially Interested in the tax not be-
ing paid. These persons asked the
courts to enjoin the payment of the
tax by respective corporations because
the 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
sovereignty of the states by taxing
state franchises; that it invades the
right to due process of law by ieHyine
a tax on classes fixed arbitrarily; and
that it is a direct tax not apportioned
among the states, as required by the
constitution.

The government argues that Whenever
Il holding company necessarily stiles
or directly and substantially restricts
free competition in commerce. the
United State has po"tr t. protect
such commerce.
In the contest REGARDING tn" answer
t. the question of What is restraint
of trade or commerce. the first dis
pute is over tin Interpretation of re
straint of trade" as equivalent to the
absence of free competition. The
government advances the theory that
reduction OF competition means re-
straint on trade and consequently
higher prices. The corporations urge
that IL combination o! producers may
mean reduction OF expenses and con-
sequcntly lower prices.
The government further contends
that the Sherman anti trust law re-
fers only to such restraints rs are di-
rect and material. One judge in pass
ing on the Tobacco case in the circuit
court held that the law referred to
every restraint without regard to di-
rectneSS or materiality. Ii is said that
this doctrine wculd stiile legitimate
business. The defendant organizations
do not press this argument so much,
because they claim in their cases that
no direct and material restraint of
commerce exists. This claim is based
upon the argument that they are en-
gagged principally. not in interstate
commerce as were the railroads in the
Northern Securities case, but in the
manufacture of goods which may go
into interstate commerce later.
The third division of the contest is
over the Interpretation of the word
