ON DECISION
WISCONSIN, SENATOR DISCUSSES
THE STANDARD OIL CASE.


WASHINGTON, May 18.-Disappro-
val Of judicial legislation as express
ed Sd Chief JusEce SsrhitGss opinion IN
the Standard Oil decision and appro-
bation for NE stand taken by Justice
John M. Harlan, was the attitude
tGl, \ by Senator LaFollette in the
,follc wing statement prepared Tor the
United Press.
II heard only a Part OF Chief Justice
Whites oral statement but | heard
all of Justice Harlan's statement oil
his reason for dissenting.
Assuming that he correctly inter-
prets the decision of the Court, ] say
that the Supreme Court has written
into the law construction which the
Court has heretofore decided unwar'
ranted and unsafe. 1t is this very con
struction which the trusts and comDi'
nations have sought TO engra[t upon
the laws for many years.
Congress has refused to 80 amend
the law as 10 leave 1t to the Courts to
say that some combinations In re-
straint of trade are reasonable and
others unreasonable. If 1t shall be
found that this decision in effect
amends the antitrust law as Judge
Harlan asserts then 1t will prove the
most unfortunate example OF legisla'
ton by judicial construction which our
history affords"

IN PORT OF service John Marshall
Harlan, Of Kentucky, stands in a class
by himself today as the most progress
siFe member OF Americas highest
judicidl tribunal. He will be T6 years
old June /, and has served as an asso-
cIate justice Of the Supreme Court for
SO years.
With vigor most Extraordinary for a
man Of his age, Harlem took his stand
In opposition to the other eight mem
bers OF the court and contended that
no concessions should be allowed mo-
nopolles; that the decision in the low
er court in the case Of the Standard
Oil Company should be affirmed with
out amendment.
Harlan denounced in bitter terms
the action of the Chief Justice and the
other associate justices in declaring
that restraint OF trade" must be "un-
reasonable" to come within the mean
ing of the antitrust law. lie declared
that the court was legislating, not In
terpreting the law.
The aged iurist has been in fail
ing health, despite his robust appear
ance, for many months. The action
Of President Taft in elevating Justice
White over Harlan's head to be his
chief, was a severe blow to the old
mans pride, but he has held up well.
Mrs. Harlan, but few eyars his jun
lor, who watches him pt,all times OF
strain, sat in a front seat during the
recital. When the fiery eyes OF the
Justice met the gentle CLEAN Of admir-
alton and pride which his wife gave
him, he took courage against his
heavy odds and there was little play
of tense heart interest in the highest
court.
