STEEL DECISION IS
PUZZLE TOPALMER
Department Of Justice Lawyers
Believe Ruling NulIifies Sher-
man Law.

Government officials today are per-
picked as to what further "trust bust
ing" steps should be taken by the
Department Of Justice In the light OF
the Supreme Court decision holding
that the United States Steel Corpora
ton was not = combination In VIOLA
ton OF the antitrust laws.
The belief OF some of the leading
lawyers of the Department OF Justice
is that the decision virtually nullines
the sherman Antitrust law, under
which two big dissolution DEGREES
those of tho Standard Oil and the
American Tobacco, have been ordered
by the Supreme Court. This WAS the
view expressed by the Justices dis
senting from the opinion.
1t was pointed out today that had
the entire membership OF the court
sat in Judgment the corporation
would undoubtedly have been DC
clared illegal.
Those who took this view declared
that Justice Brandeis in his writings
and public speeches had attacked the
Steel Corporation. and Justice Nc
REYNOLDS had prosecuted the corpo-
ration while he was Attorney Gen
eral. The votes of these two Jurists
might have made the decision stand
ave against the company to four In
favor Of the defendant corporation.
A statement as to the future action
of the Government Is expected TO be
made by Attorney General Palmer
shortly.
The belief was expressed by some
officials that the Standard OIL and
American Tobacco decisions do not
conform to the Steel trust opinion
but the majority opinion claimed these
combines committed overt acts while
the main charge against the steel cor
poration was that 1t Is 80 powerful
that ii is dangerous.
Several big antitrust suits are still
pending in the court, including the
Lehigh and Reading anthracite coal
the quaker Oats, the Eastman Kodak
and the Keystone Watch cases.

JUDGE GARY CRATFED
OVER STEEL DECISION
Head of Great Industry Asserts
Adverse Opinion Would Have
Checked Progress.

NEW YORK. March 2.-Judge Ell
bert II. Gary, chairman OF the board
Of directors of the United states
Steel Corporation. said that he and
his associates were much gratified
by the favorable decision handed
down by the United States Supreme
Court.
"a decree Of dissolution said
Judge Gary, would have been a
calamity. 1t would seriously have
interfered with industrial progress
and prosperity. The decision as
made will immeasurably add to the
general feeling Of confidence in the
value Of property and in the oppor-
tunity Of business enterprise.
THAT we have failed In some re-
spects is quite possible. The fact
that a minority opinion. Endorsed
by three able judges, was filed in
the case emphasizes the necessity on
the part Of Industrial managers to
observe the requirements Of all statu-
tory provisions and to keep constant
ly in mind the rights and interests
Of the public.
"I think from the beginning senti-
ment has generally been favorable
to the corporation, and. IL so. II Is
because we have taken pains to pub
lish the facts concerning our man
agement, our condition and our In
tentions."

FARM AND VALUES

Florida farm land values are too
low in comparison with United States
values.
Comparison of farm land values,
which are made on March l.. of each
year by sss.is Bureau, indicate that the
boom in farm land values, which has
been taking place over a large part
of the United States, has not effected
values materially over the greater
part of Florida's farming area.
The average acre Of pillow land in
Florida has always been lower than
the average acre for the United States
and under normal conditions there
has been a gradual increase in these
values with tendency for Florida valu
es to gain more or less regularly on
those of the United States.
Since 1919 however, and especially
for the present year, this condition
has been reversed and Florida's aver
age acre of pillow land is proportion
ately lower than 1t should be.
AS Florida values show. generally,
a normal, healthy increase when com
pared with past years, the changed
relation to United States values is
evidently due to an unusual increase
in these values over parts of the Unit
ed States.
The value of the average acre CT
pillow land in Florida varies greatly in
the different sections of the state and
is dependent in a measure on the rap
idity with which the different sections
are being settled up as well as on the
comparative productive capacity of
the land. North West Florida reports
an average value of $4,000; North
Central Florida, $2400; South Central
Florida, $500 and South Florida,
$4,000
