LAND BANK LEGAL

The supreme court has turned down
The suit brought by the mortgage
brokers against the federal farm loan
bank Bank activities, which have
been suspended by this suit for more
than a year, can now be resumed.
Mortgage brokers based their case
mainly on the allegation that exemp-
,tion of federal land bank bonds was
class legislation.
It is too early yet to form any opin-
ion as to how much relief hard-pressed
farmers may expect from early re-
opening of the different land banks.
There is a strong possibility that the
money trust will make it nearly as
hard for the federal land bank to dis.
pose of it's bonds as it is for the Bank
of North Dakota.
Perhaps it is not generally known
that in late 1917 the federal land bank
was on the point of closing for this
reason, but the war demand for more
food production forced congress to
provides the banks with $100,000,000.
Having failed to blockade the money
market, the mortgage brokers then
brought the suit which has just been
settled in favor of the bank.
AS soon as the decision became
known the senate struck from the ap-
preparation bill an amendment au-
thorizing the treasury department to-
purchase $100,0O0,O00 of federal land
bank bonds. Senator Warren of wy
oming, who led this move, declared
the appropriation was now unneces-
sary. Thus we have another good H.
lustration of how fast the money trust
can pull the strings. ..- r., .

How the men are going 10 react TO Ii remains Is
be seen, and 3the country will await anxiously The an
nouneensnt of We attitude Of the brotherhhoods. "A tsl.
road strike now probably would throw the return 81
normal business activities INTO next year. and there Is
not he slightest prospect that it would do the workers
any good.
Strikes are terribly costly affairs any way you
take them, but until quite recently the general public
paid by far the biggest end Of the bill. Of late, how
ever. they have been costing the labor organizations a
pretty penny, and among the labor leaders with pro-
g~ressiye minds the strike as an economic weapon Is
beginning to lose a lot Of its old time appeal.
The labor organizations have grown rich in recent
years. They take toll from their. members in what a
few years back would have been regarded an uncon-
scionable degree and the members expect better finan-
cial support in the event of strikes than used to be the
case. As a result a protraeted strike means a heavy
in spte Of the huge funds that are piled up. The mine
strike IN England. which seems about to break up. IS a
case in point. The drain on account Of this strike is
causing friction throughout the whole organized labor
fabric Of England which may result in serious trouble
for the unions. and it is a fact that this strike which
was unpopular from the first with the public has de.
sroyed a lot Of moral support from English popular
opinion.
Brotherhood Officers know all about this. They
know too that the American public is exceedingly anx-
ious to get the wheels all turning as soon as possible.
and il is conceivable that they will accept the reduc-
ton. i they do it is quite probable that The railroad
executives will find that they have been mistaken in
assuming that the cut was not deep enough. The mere
fact that this matter has been settled will start a lot Of
activities and by the admission Of their own Officers a
lot Of the financial troubles Of the railroads will end
as soon as traffic returns to something like normal
proportions.

New Highway Commissioner.
(Rutland Herald.)

The Herald does not pretend to under
stand the motives of Governor Hartness
and his board in appointing Prof. Thur
man w. Dix of the University of Yer
mont as highway commissioner. but is
fairly well satisfied that it viii mean the
final elimination of COMMISSIONS "StOd''
Bates from the highway activities of the
state.
Professor Dix. as we understand the
matter. is to be the executive. He gets
the official salary. Mr.. Bates, if he
chooses to remain, viii receive so a day
for time actually spent on the business of
the board. 1t does not seem at all likely
that he will continue in that capacity.
So much for the hair-trigger notions
of a few editors that the compromise on
the highway matter meant the defeat of
the Hartness forces. As it looks. the
thing comes down exactly to the governors
proposition. that if he could find
a place for Bates he would do so other
it looks as though it might be
mostly otherwise.
OF Professor Dix and his abilities as Il
road-builder, we have much to learn. He
is not, of course, a merely academic prod
uet of the lecture-room. as he is at present
city. engineer for Burlington and has had
considerable practical experience. How
far he is responsible for Burlington'S mar
velOus paving surfaces, no one seems to
know at this writing.
Meanwhile, the word that comes from
headquarters is that Bates is co-ordinating
and bridging over in sturdy fashion.
Things, however, are likely to happen
a few weeks.
