SENATE WILL PASS
RURAL CREDITS BILL
PRESIDENT INSISTS THAT 1T
SHOULD BE ADOPTED BY
THIS CONGRESS.
FARMERS MUST HAVE HELP
TilIman, Overman, Simmons and Other
Southern Senators Approve Most
Features of Bill.

Washington.-The Senate has gone
20 work on the rural credits bill, a
piece of legislation which President
Wilson insists should be adopted by
this session OF Congress- There is
little doubt but that the measure will
be passed by the Senate within a short
time, now that work has begun.
Senator Simmons was among the
number talking while the preliminary
discussions were under way. With
regard to the interest to be charged
by private institutions he said: 81
think it is possible to provide in this
bill as to limit the rate of interest
that those private institutions may
charge and do it by increasing the
security for the bonds they may issue,
and then you would provide very
strong system"
Senator Overman in commenting
on the proposed legislation said: 81
think rural credits legislation should
be enacted as early as possible. l do
not like some features of the bill now
before the senate, but most of the
provisions are all right. The farmer
must have better banking arrange
ments. l am glad the President has
this legislation on has program"
The banks are so full of deposits, ="
said Senator Tillmon, that there is
no where for them to lend their
money at profit except to the far
mers. l am in favor of a system at
rate OF five or six per cent by
which loans can be made on long
time mortgages on real estate"

Court to Review Anticompae. Act.

u.
Hearing on the petition OF David
b. Henderson of Charleston for an
order to prevent the attorney general
and the insurance commissioner from
enforcing the terms OF the antl-com-
pact fire insurance act was held be-
fore the supreme court
The petitioner was represented at
j. N. Nathans and A. T. Smyth of the
Charleston bar. The state officials
we're represented by w. II. Townsend
or the Columbia bar and Thomas H.
Peoples. attorney general
The arguments b, the attorneys for
both sides contained many points and
authorities.
The demurrer OF the attorney gem
eral charged that the petition did. not
state facts sufficient for a cause of
action.
After hearing the arguments the
supreme court took the case under
advisement.
In the argument by the petitioners
attorneys 1t was charged that the
Laney-Odom act violates several sec
tions of the state constitution.
In his argument to the court the
attorney general stated that the pc
ttioner has not shown that he has
been injured or is threatened with
any injury by reason of the enforce
ment of the act of 1916 to prevent
hre insurance companies or associa-
tons or partnerships doing a fire in
surance business in this state to enter
into any compact or combination with
any other fire insurance companies,
associations or partnerships, approved
March 2, 1916; and he Is not in a posi-
ton to ask this court to consider or
determine the constitutionality OF this
act. The attorney general also
stated that the respondents would
welcome a decision from the court
constituting the act in question and
directing them as to their duty there
under"
THE provision" said the attorney
general "for violations of the act is
germane to it's subject, and the act
is not to be considered as unconsti-
tutional because there is no allusion
to these provisions in its title.
THE fact that penalties are i'm
posed for violation of the provisions
of the act does not render these sec
tions void as being without title; for
1t would be a natural complement to
the act regulating the business OF In
surance to include any just and prop
er provisions for enforcing the duties
imposed upon the persons and com
panies affected and to prescribe pen
alties for the violation thereof
Attorneys for the petitioners con-
tended that the anti-compact law con-
fers upon the insurance commissioner
both legislative and judicial powers.
which under the constitution, can
only be respectively exercised by the
Legislative and judicial departments
of the government of the state" 1t
was also charged that the act de-
prives the petitioner of the property
without due process of law"

ume of nearly 1.400 pages Mrs. Vir-
ginia Green Moody. the state librarian.

sucn other persons as are entitled by
law to receive them. Mr.. Gibbes has
introduced several innovations, which,

tedious and arduous labor, make the
book much more practically helpful

having occasion to use it.
Most valuable of the new features.
perhaps. is the subject index, in which
the gist is given OF each act. Prepara-
ton OF this section meant for the clerk
the careful reading and digesting of
every act. The arrangement serves all
the purposes In view better than the
cid method OF mere collocation OF
titles.
Another capital improvement is the
addition OF section wherein may be

however, that the human machine. the
operative, shall not be worked exceed.
ing IL hours in one day or 60 hours
In one week. The purpose OF the law
is to protect the individual man or wo.
man and to require the mill to employ
spare help for the operation OF ma

requires that the time operatives shall
