Maeiay hoyns and the Telephone
Monopoly.

When Maclay Hoyne was assistant
corporation counsel under Mayor
Harrison in 1903, he wrote an opinion
holding that the Chicago Telephone
Company was compelled to pay per.
centage Of It's gross receipts into the
city treasury on all business II did In
annexed territories as well az within
the city limits, as those limits exist.
ed before annexation. He pointed out
that the company was charging ex.
cessive rates and was indebted to Chi.
cago to the extent Of nearly 100000,
and brought three suits against the
company In the name Of the city. And
the Supreme Court sustained him.
The company was compelled to re-
duce its rates on business telephones
from 3l75 to S125 year. and repaid
its subscribers nearly 100000.
Through MIR. Hoyne's efforts In this
one case. therefore, the public gain
has already amounted tc one million
dollars, and as further result Of that
litigation the present telephone ordi.
nance vas drafted.
This Is what the Chicago Tribune,
always anti.Democratic, In February,
| 1906, had to say about II editorially:
THE Supreme Court has decided
against the telephone company. II
holds that the corporation must abide
by the ordinance, and cannot increase
rates because OF improvement In serv'
ice. It also holds tina, territory an
nexed since the adoption Of the ordi
nance should enjoy the rates present
ed in II. The toll stations In that ter
ritory must 90. II also decides that
the company has been common ex
torter, has violated the ordinances
has been regardless of the peoples
rights and has had no respect for III
contract obligations. It has beer
found guilty Of all these Things.
viii the company make restitu
ton? VIII 1t pay to the municipalit!
what 1t owes on account Of business
done by It in annexed territory"
And the company had to settle
very reluctantly, Of course, becaus
II hates to give the city anything II !
can get out Of 1t.

OPPOSITION TO TARIFF REFORM:
LIVELY SESSION IS IN PROSPECT

American labor and industry the
country will get that kind OF a tar
if. In any case, the country should
decide this question as whole, and
not in chunks. That is the only sale
and sensible way of settling the tar
iff question.
This declaration OF the protective
tariff league indicates how the forces
are now drawn up for the impending
battle during this coming session OF
congress, and has proved OF great
interest to the lawmakers who will
he called upon TO take part in the
struggle.
The pronouncement further indi-
Gates that strong pressure will be
brought to bear on the president to
change the tariff program he has
mapped out for himself But it is
not regarded as probable by those
acquainted with the situation that
Mr.. Taft will heed the pleas of the
high protectionists.
1t was freely predicted at the time
President Taft vetoed the tariff bills
sent to him during the special ses.
sion of congress and announced that
he would recommend revision by the
schedule based on facts presented by
his tariff board. that the standpatterS
, in congress would oppose his plan.
The action of the Protective Tarif1
League and recent other develop
mentS make it apparent that this
the "old guard" republicans will be
lined up strongly this winter in the
effort to balk revision. They believe
if they can prevent piece-meal revi-
sion at the coming session they can
defeat revision altogether 1t is welt
! known that the democratic house and
the president are opposed to a gen
eral revision at this time.
AS the situation stands an inter
esting and lively SESSION is in pros
pect, with the chances of a contin-
uous struggle throughout the session.
The schedule revision plan is expect
ed to go through the democratic
mouse. although it will not have clear
| sailing there. hut the standpattels 5
put their faith on the conservative
senate, and it is there that the fina
! stard against revision is expected to
be made.
