TAFT'S OPINIONS 0F STANDARD O|L CASE In Former Statements He Opposed Use of Word
 Reasonable"

Washington, May 15.-while President Taft made no statement today regard ing the supreme courts decision in the Standard Oil case. in which the Court set up the doctrine that there might be reasonable and 'nYit teasonable" re-
 straint of trade official Washington re-
 called an abstract from the special mes
 rage sent to Congress by the President
 January ', 1910. urging the enactment of
 a federal incorporation law.
 In that message President Taft dis cussed the suggestion that the word ''rea- sonable" be made a part of the sherman antitrust law, and strongly opposed the proposition in these words:
 'I venture to think that this is to put into the hands of the court a power im- possible to exercise on any consistent principle. which will insure the uniform ity of decision essential to just judgment. It is to thrust upon the courts a bur den that they have no precedents to en- able them to carry and to give them a power approaching the arbitrary, the abuse of which might involve our whole judicial system in disaster
 Other statements by the President in his message were:
 ''The supreme court in several of it's decisions has declined to read into the statute the word unreasonable before restraint of trade on the ground that the statute applies to all restraints and does not intend to leave to the court the discretion to determine what is a reasonable restraint of trade
 Many people conducting great busi- nesses have cherished a hope and a be- lief that in some way or other line may be drawn between good trusts and bad trusts and that it is possible by amendment to the antitrust law to make a distinction under which good combina- tions may be permitted to organize. sup press competition, control prices and do 1t all legally if only they do not abuse the power by taking too great profit out of the business They point with force to certain notorious trusts as having grown into power through criminal methods by the use of illegal rebates and plain cheat ing and by various acts utterly yiolatlve Of business honesty or morality and urge the establishment of some legal line of separation by which criminal trusts of this kind can be punished and

The Secretary of the Interior has ac-
cepted the resignation of DR.. c. Willard
Hayes. chief eeologist of the geological
survey. DR.. Hayes resigned in order that
he might accept advantageous bust
ness offer from an English company ope-
rating in Mexico.
The letter of Director George Otis
Smith of the survey forwarding the resig-
nation and recommending its acceptance
expresses regret al losing the valuable
services of the chief geologist, and says
many things of complimentary charac-
ter concerning DR.. Hayes, who has been
connected with the survey since 1887
Reasons for Resigning.
DIR. Hayes himself said this morning
that it was only because of the very ad-
vantageous offer he had received, which
he felt he ought not to decline, that
prompted his separation from the service
He said that while some of his friends
had urged him for appointment as direc-
Tor or the survey at the time Director
Smith was chosen. he much preferred his
present position where he had charge of
the scientific work of the survey, than to
nave to deal with accounts and business
matters as its head His relations with
the director he said, are and have always
been OF the pleaSantest character.
Among the important services performed
by DR.. Hayes during his connection with
the survey was the perfection of the sys-
tenn adopted for classifying the public
lands of the United States according to
their mineral worth. through which the
government first discovered their real
value as mining properties.
On Special Mission.
President Taft designated DIR. Hayes to
investigate the extensive landslides at
Panama which were the cause of much
loss In the digging of the isthmian canal.
and his reasons were accepted and sug-
gestions adopted for their prevention.
DR.. Hayes also represented the govern
ment at the last two International geo.
logical conferences in Mexico and Swe-
den, and he has made many extensive
trips in this and other countries Tor the
government in connection with the work
of his office.
1.-The Handbook of Geology" of which
he is the author, is standard work
upon the subject.
DIR. Hayes will leave for his new post
as soon as he can complete his business
arrangements for the trip.

LOWER RATES. Of FARE
ON LOCAL STREET CARS
Park View Citizens Advocate
Reduction to School
Children.

Resolutions favoring a half
cent street car fare for school children
during-th school months were unai-
mously adopted at the October meet
ing of the Park View Citizens AS
ISOLATION last night in the Sunday school
room at the Whitney Avenu Christian
Church.
John G. McGrath. president of the as
ISOLATION. and it's representative in the
Federation of Citizens Associations, was
instructed to urge that body to begin a
campaign for an amendment to the pres
ent law under which new streets are
opened.
Change in Law Desired.
ANY one who wants a street can go
to some one in Congress or some one in
the District building, ask for it, and the
necessary bill passes Congress. Public
money pays for the ground, then we are
assessed to repay the government. That's
a fine enough scheme where a street is
wanted and is necessary. It's a paradox
and hardship when the street isn't need
ed and is opened to aid some real estate
operators investing schemes" said Presi-
dent McGrath.
The association desires the law SO
changed that the promiscuous opening of
streets will be impossible.
The members also declared that when
Congress directs the opening of a new
street and the condemnation of land for
that purpose it should include in the same
law an appropriation for the improvement
Of the new thorougfare. Such a policy,
1t was argued, would Obviate delays in
putting new streets into use.
Object to Mosquito Breeder.
1t was determined to call the attention
Of the Commissioners to a stagnant pool
of water near Lamont and 9th streets,
which members Of the association de-
scribed as a mosquito breeder and a men,
ace to health generally.
An appeal to the health department, it
was stated, had been without success.
I'VE were told to be patient and wait.
The water, they said. would disappear
through absorption and evaporation. That
was two years ago-the water Is there
yet. Let's try the Commissioners. said
c. H. Jones.
Another resolution requesting that the
new Central High School site, Florida
avenue and 18th street, be used as a
playground until building operations be-
gin was also unanimously adopted.
