HEPBURN BELIEVES ANTl-sTock
GAMBLING BILL WILL HELP

Washington, jan. 16.-Congressman
Hepburn, who is working on the draf
OF a DILL to prevent gambling in stocks.
believes hat his measure will help to
make the country's money supply go
farther toward meeting the legitimate
needs of business.
The bill has not vet been completed,
though Colonel Hepburn spent ten days
IN New York, during the congressional.
recess, looking into matters which re-
late to it and informing himself about
the complicated and difficult questions
that. are involved in it's preparation.
TO draw a measure which will pre-
vent gambling in securities, while in;
no wise interfering with legitimate
transactions. is by no means easy. 1t
is expected that he will adopt the plan
OF imposing a lax on these transfers,
which will a the bill to the, com
mittee on ways and means.
Colonel Hepburn, speaking of the
proposed bill, pointed out that it would
have violent and influential opposition,
because so many interests are natural
iy arrayed against it. He expressed
h opinion that the. amount of money
employed in gambling operations in
stocks Is much larger than that re-
CURED to float investment operations.
THE mar who has the desire to make
an investment in securities he said,
has the money to pay. The man who
wants to speculate pays a margin of

goes up he makes ten times as much
profit as he o have made if ha
had paid the full amount in cash at
the beginning"
The attitude of the House ways and
means committee toward such a meas
ure is matter of much speculation.
Colonel Hepburn hasn't tried to sound
the committee and doesn't know what
it is likely to do. There is a general
belief that the committee will not feel
particularly friendly to the measure,
however. n that if the bill comes out
1t will be a wonder. The bill, accord
ing to the understanding of people who
think they know what it's author has
In mind, will be aimed not only against
the operations on stock exchanges
where deals are made on partial pay
ments. but against the purchase and
sale on margins of foodstuffs, cotton
and the like. Thus the big exchanges
on all the great commercial centers
will be involved.

SENATOR BROWN STARTS
INNOVATION FOR NEBRASKA

Washington, d. c., Jan. 15.-In ask
ing the supreme court of the United
States to mandamus q district court
into giving up suits over which juris-
diction was claimed, the state OF Ne
braska has started an innovation which
may lead to a change in procedure in
the federal courts. Senator Norris
Brown of Nebraska acting for his
state, has secured a hearing on rail-
road cases and has filed a brief that is
pronounced to be almost irrefutable.
The state of Nebraska is dead in earn
est in pushing the petition for manda-
mus and the senator will assist Attor-
ney General Thompson when the cases
come up for argument.
Under the constitution of the state of
Nebraska the supreme court of Ne
braska has no original jurisdiction of
an injunction suit to which the state
is not a party, argue the Nebraska at
torneys, n could acquire none by any
means whatever. II the state of Ne
braska is eliminated as a party plain
tiff, the attorney general and the rail-
way commissioners, the only remaining
plaintiffs. have no power to bring a
civil suit in the supreme court of Ne
braska, and with the supreme court
eliminated as a party plaintiff, the.
state supreme court has no original
the subject matter. If the federal
court is correct in holding that the
state is not a party, has no interest
and must keep out of it's courts of
equity except when it's property is at
stake, the state supreme court had no
jurisdiction owe these cases n the
federal cour acquired none by removal
or otherwise, declare the Nebraskans.
Senator Brown and his colleagues
conclude that if the state of Nebraska
is not a party in the supreme court Of
Nebraska. it is not a citizen within the
remova acts of congress-, the case is
not renewable and the circuit court ac-
CURED no jurisdiction; if the state of
Nebraska is not a party in the supreme
court of Nebraska. the supreme court
of Nebraska had no jurisdiction over
the parties or subject matter of the
suit and the circuit court could ac-
Quire none by removal.
