Edwards: Small Case Judge

The case of Governor Small of
Illinois has attained national nOtori-
ETY.. Naturally there is much curioSi-
ty as to the personality of the pre-
siding Judge Claire c. Edwards of
Waukegan, Ill. For Waukegan is Il
pretty small place for Il big case. Is
he political juriSt 'Out of the sticks"
one whose knowledge of the writings
of Sir William Blackstone is vague
but whose intuition as to political CON
ditiOns is strong? Is he what the
average Chicagoan calls a ''rube' or
a "hicB"?
He is not. rest assured of that
If the average Chicago male dressed
as intelligently and as quietly, the
reputation for dowdinesS possessed
by the large city at Lake NIichigan's
head would be considerably improved
Although born and reared on Il farm
near Grays Lake in Lake county,
Judge Edwards spent five years of
his early legal life in Chicago paying
particular attention to criminal procedl

Court (Hopkins vs.. United States, III
L. S. 578) which has explicitly stated
that the livestock commission mer
chant is engaged in a private busi-
ness. The buying and selling of live
stock at a public market by a COM
mission merchant is not, in the opin-
ion of the United States Supreme
court, subject to federal control. The
same court has also held that the
organization and operation of live
stock exchanges is a legitimate and
worthy incident of the business.
Therefore, livestock commission
merchants feel justified in testing the
validity of the packers and stock
yards act, which attempts to radically
and entirely change their status from
a private to a public business.
The livestock commission men are
opposed to the operation Of the law

and thereby reduce the cost of mar
keting livestock and put the finished
product in the hands of the consumer
at a lower cost to him and at the
same time increase the profits of the
producer Let us call attention to
the fact that livestock commission
merchants are not 'middlemen' nor do
their functions represent in any re-
spect those of a middleman.'
In brief, the commission men are
testing the constitutiOnality of the
act because without justifiable cause

their business from a private Occupa-

WHY LIVE STOCK COMMISSION
MEN FIGHT NEW NATIONAL
LAW REGULATING THEIR
BUSINESS.

The live stock commission men object
to the law on the grounds:
THAT it incorrectly defines the ma
ture of their business, because it
classifies them as a public utility,
whereas it is their contention that
they are pursuing a private individual
business at a public market, and are
therefore not subject to federal con
troll.
THAT the protection afforded to
the rights and business interest of
live stock producers and shippers is
not adequately preserved by the law,
as it will impair, if not destroy, the
efficiency of the commercial assOcia-
tions of live stock commission mer-
chants, called live stock exchanges;
and that in the administration Of the
law live stock producers and ship
peTs and commission men are liable
to be subjected to irreparable injury.
That the law is framed and will be
carried out with the intention of es-
tablishing a system of marketing en-
tirely different from, and revolution
airy of, the present system, which is
founded upon the competition of in
dividuals: and the ultimate effect of
the law will be to destroy this com
petitive system and create monOp-
oly-in the form of a selling agency,
which will deprive the producer of the
advantages of competition in the sell
ing processes of live stock and subject
the producer and shipper of livestock
to irreparable injury
In support of these propositions
livestock commission men affirm that
their legal status has been we'll de-

County Board on Tuesday.
The collection of more than over
$1O00O0.000 for 39S taxing bodies rang
ing from the state itself and the city
down to the smallest rural division in
the county involved a mass of book

$65O000. the highest amount ever col
lected in interest. the report states.
Convenient service to the taxpayer
was pointed out by Treasurer Carr,

two substations located throughout
the city, where approximately 100000
citizens paid in $8,O0O.00O in taxes.

new CHAIRMAN
Of {. D. P. IS A
SELF-MADE MAN

DUBUQUE, Iowa, June 2S John
T Adams, the recently elected chair
man of the Republican national com
mittee. like many other national
leaders, is a self-made man.
In 1881 Johnny" Adams, as he
was then known, started to work
for a Dubuque door and sash com
pany at SO a week. His promotion
was rapid, and since 1900 he has
been president Of the company which
is now regarded as one of the larg
est of the kind in the country.
Since early manhood Adams has
taken an unusual interest in com
munity affairs. One of the first
community projects to attract his
attention was a city mission organiA-
ed by the Dubuque Congregational
church. Later for several years he
was president of the citys general
hospital
School affairs of Dubuque always
have attracted the attention of Mr..
Adams. He served several terms as
a member of the local school board.
During the war he was men,
Der of the state council of defense,
and was active in Red Cross and
other drives for funds
His interest in American politics
is believed to have been inherited
from his father, who was an Ameri-
can of old stock. The father prac-
ticed law in Massachusetts, and.
was a member of the legislature of
that state at the time Daniel Web
ster was a member of the state SEN
ate. His ancestors on his mothers
side come from New Hampshire,
where they lived for several genera
tions.
Mr.. Adams first attracted attention
in politics in 1908 when he was Sc
lected to conduct the primary cam
paign in Iowa. In 1912 he managed
the Taft campaign in this state In
the same year he was elected ma
tional committeeman from Iowa. He
was reelected national committee
man in 1916 and again in 1870, Dur
ing the Harding campaign, Mr.. Ad-
ans was in charge of the western
Republican headquarters in Chicago.
Mr.. Adams is married, and is the
father of three children, Elizabeth,

WORLDS GREATEST
ELECTRICAL Project
FOR COLORADO RIVER

At the Glen Canyon dam, accord
ing to plans, a uniform flow Of 1S,
900 second feet would pass through
turbines and thence through a power
canal for 80 miles to the mouth of
the Little Colorado. This would
give net head of 800 feet and
would generate 100000 horsepower.
From the Little Colorado to Kan
abe creek, a net head Of 700 feet
could be secured in IS miles, which
would generate 100000 horsepower.
In the 145-mile stretch between
Kanabe creek and the Arizona boun-
Diary line, at Diamond, a net head
of 500 feet could be secured by
the use of two high dams. The
river would deliver to switchbOards
about 100000 additional horsepow-
er. according to Southern California
Edison engineers.
The fourth development would
cover the 12O-mile stretch between
the Arizona boundary and the Cot
tonwood valley. This would afford a
5OO.foot head and deliver 100000
horsepower.
It is contended that among the re-
suits of this project, when complet
ed, would be:
Absolute food control
Provision for irrigation Of 2,25O'
600 acres, of which 100000 acres
would be above the canyons.
Three hundred miles of the river
would be made navigable.
The area which could be served
with power includes the entire
states of Arizona, Nevada and Utah
more than one-half Of Colorado anf
New Mexico, one fifth of Idaho anc
Wyoming and three-quarters OF ofi
ifornia. with possibly large areas
in northern Mexico.
Power would be used for the cleo
trifcation of steam railroads, As
well as for commercial, agricultural.
mining and municipal uses, thus saw

ROAD
BILL PASSED
BY THE HOUSE

Although heated debate featured
consideration of the Phipps highway
bill when it came up in the lower
house of congress for final disposi-
ton yesterday, the measure passed
with a substantial majority, Con-
gressman Samuel S. Arentz notified
the state highway department and
the Reno chamber of commerce.
The bill as originally introduced
by Senator Phipps was passed Ill
the senate, but when ii reached the
house was amended by the house
committee on postoffces and post
roads to include the Dowell bill, a
majority of the features Of which
were contained in the senate bill
The amended bill will now be
considered by a conference commit
tee of the two houses and if the
measure is passed Nevada will re-
ceive $3.50 of federal money for
each $3.50 of state and county mon
ey spent in the construction of high
ways, while 10 other western states
will also receive greater aid from
the federal government than the
present dollar for dollar
Proponents contended the measure
would facilitate the development of
roads and benefit farmers especial
ly Under the measure states would
be given three years in which to
establish funds for maintenance of
federal roads. Should state, after
proper notification, fail to make
specified improvements the federal
government would undertake the
work at the states expense and un-
til settlement was made no further
projects for federal aid construction
in that state would be approved.
The measure would allow the gov
ernment share of road construction
costs to be based upon the proper
ton of government owned land in
