concern today charged In the trial of'
the famous rebate case that tho gov
ernment Is abusing tho Elklns' act,
o as to mnko It a means of produc
ing rovenuo, rather than a means of
vindication and enforcing tho law.
He argued that the court should fix
the unit by which tho number of of
fensos charged against the Stand
ard could ho measured. He chark'M
ti-at tho government is endeavoring
(o mulct tho Standard heavily, In an
attempt to obtain another decision
similar to that handed down by
Judge Landia.
Miller argued that the United
Statlb circuit court of appeals in Its
decision reversing the Landia fine
had declared that the number of of
fenses for which the Standard was,
hable was the number of complete
transactions, and not tho number of,
cnrloaH Jots, nor the numbor of ship
ments. Mlllor declured -that, uuder the
decision of tho court of appeals It
i wan ImpoBslblo for tho Judgo to con
Istruo tho soparato acts alleged In
tho Indlotmont as completo transac
tions, and on this basis attacked tho
Indlotmont undor which tho company
has been brought Into court.
He asked that tho court mako a
ruling, holding that tho offomes
must bo considered on tho basis of
Ortcb completo transaction forming
ono alleged Offense.
Judge LandU. In assessing tho fa
mous flno, hold that ear carload lo
of oil on which a rebate was glreh
constituted a separato ofTenso, and
computed tho flno by multiplying the
full limit fine by the numbor of can
shipped.
Tho court took u recoss to conBMor
Miller's motion.

"Tho Pacific coast should bo pro
