BEFORE the commission begins prep

the car compa nies were asked to sub
NIT a merger plan on which they had
agreed. The commission promised to
include the recommendations Of the
two companies either as alternative
pa graphs In its own bill or submit
them to Congress in a separate bill
The compa nies however. have not vet
given the commission this informa-

certain that the compa MES will in

fixed valuation for the merged COM

These two features were proposed
by the compa MES as the cardinal prin-

proposed legislation to force a con-

OIL DECISION FIRST
Supreme Court Requested to
Consider Sinclair. Case
Separately.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Consideration Of the Sinclair and
Doheny civil oil suits separately. and
not as one proceeding. was requested
Of the Supreme Court today by the
Governments oil counsel
It is customary for the court to con
solidate suits which come up concur
rently from separate jurisdictions and
deal with similar subjects. and there
had been indications that such a
course would be followed in the two oil
cases.
The Government counsel asked the
court to decide the Doheny case. which
involves lease of the Elk Hills oil re
serve in California. before taking up
the Sinclair case, involving lease of
the Teapot Dome reserve in Wyoming.
In both cases the Court of Appeals
has upheld the Governments plea for
cancellation of the lease on the basis
Of evidence Of irTegularity brought to
light In the Senate oil inquiry.
1t was argued by the Government
that the Sinclair case involved pre-
cisely the same questions of law as
those already presented in the Do
heny case, except some questions of
evidence, and that these questions
would become unimportant should the
court affirm the decision.

WHAT ONE BREWERY DID
Anheuser-Busch Brewery Has Prospered
by Manufacturing Useful Articles
of Commerce

The AnheuserBusch Company of St.
Louis, was one of the best-known brew
cries in the United States and perhaps
the largest.
When prohibition became the law of
the land this brewery turned its attention
to the manufacturing of legitimate prod
ucts. In 1925 the company's business
covered fifteen products, ranging from
automobile truck bodies to ice, soft drinks
and cattle feed. The business of the COM
pany last year Appropriated $8,500,000.
The concern is now about to install a
huge yeast plant.
Since prohibition became effective the
company, so far as known, has honestly
observed the dry law.

of the police power as being an aid to

the enforcement of the law.
There is no denial of due process,
because the forfeiture was to be eff

The cause of forfeiture arises when
the unlawful relation is shown to
exist. A conviction is unnecessary.
1t is a separate, distinct and indie
pendent redress, different from the
governments right to convict or re-
sort to paddock proceedings.
The court declared that a single vio-

work forfeiture. In reply to the con-
tention that only the reversioner could
forfeit the lease, the court said:
Parties in a position similar to
that of the use plaintiff here were
