This Is shown not only by the results thus far ob tained In the senatorial Investigation Into President Wilson's charge that an "Insidious" lobby has been blocking his tariff revision plans, but by facts which are common property In the na tional capltol. Representative of corporations do not pasa money to senators and mem bers aa they did In the "good old times." Stock Investments for legis lators In which the latter without the risks reaped the profits either In the form of checks from brokers or certi ficates of deposit alao have been rele gated to the past. Senator Say President Lobbyist An uneipected turn waa given to the "lobby" Investigation when Sena tor Townsend. of Michigan, republican declared on trie stand that the Influ ence wielded by President Wilson and the democratic secret caucus on the making of the tariff bill constituted the "nearest approach to undue In fluence on members of congress' that the Investigating committee would be able to find. Senator Townaend's statements In relation to Prealdent Wllaon were not In the form of charges. He eipressly said he did not charge the president with using Improper methods, but he Insisted that the charges that lobbies existed and the activity of the presi dent In support of free wool and free sugar amounted to an "undue Influ ence," even though be did not us the "big etlck" of patronage. Mlnneaota Wlna State Rate Fight. The power of the states to fix rea sotinhle Intrastate rales on Interstate railroads until such time as congress shall choose to regulate) these rates was upheld by the supreme court of the I'nltod States In the Minnesota freight and passenger rate cases. At the same time the court laid down far-reaching principles gov. rn lug the valuation of railroad property for rate-making purposes, uud, accord ing to these, held that the state of Minnesota would confiscate the prop erty of the Minneapolis ft St. Louis railroad company by Its muxlmum freight and 2-cent passenger fare law. It enjoined the state from enforcing these laws as to this roud for the present. In the eases of the Northern I'.uiiic and Oroat Northern, however, It held that the roads hud failed to show that the ratea war "unreason able" or "confiscatory." The decision, regarded as one of the most Important ever announced by the court, had been under consideration for 14 months. Railroad commissions from eight states and the governors of all the states filed briefs In support of the state In the oases, recognising that the principle Involved affected them all. Tariff Blew Aimed at Tobacco Trust In accord with suggestions of Attor ney Oeneral McKeyuolds, Senator Hllcboock, of Nebraska, introduced an uuti trust amendment to the Under wood tariff bill which would levy a special additional excise tax on a slid ing or graduated scale on manufac tures of cigars, tobacco, cigarettes und euuff. The amendment, coming from a democratic member, will i thorough consideration from the flu ance committee. The progressive excise tax proposed would not reai li a uiuuufuclurer until he controlled about zfi per cunt of the tutul production of the articles. National Capital Brevities.

The federal government seeks the dissolu tion by receivership. If necessary, ot the Eastman Kodak company of New Jersey, and the Eastman Kodak cork pany of New York, which are charged with monopolizing the trade In photo graphic supplies. It Is the aim of the government to obtain a division of the assets and business of the two companies, con trolling T2 per cent of the business In the United States. Into such parts aa will destroy the alleged monopoly and restore competition. The petition In equity asks for an Injunction forbid ding the fixing of resale prices of camera, f lm.; and other patented photographic supplies. This marks the attorney-general's first application of the recent decis ion of the United States supreme court denying patentees the right to fix resale prices of retailers. The alleged monopoly has been ac complished, the petition declares, by the Kastman company's absorbing or acquiring control of a great number of competitors in the United States and foreign countries.
