to the constitutionality of the corpora

drich tariff act.
All three cases attracted worldwide
attention when first presented to the
court agout year ago. With the OBJ
jet of procuring consideration by a
full bench. they were set for re-argu
ment on Jan. 3. Intervening cases VIII

The Standard Oil and the Tobacco
cases put the sherman antitrust law
to the most crucial test to which it

Years Of its existence. The corporation
tax cases place on trial the power Of
the federal government over corpora

The contention has been made that
if the STANDARD OIL and the Tobacco
organizations are dissolved. the gov
