TEST SUIT MAY DELAY CALL
ING OF LEGISLATURE
INDEFINITELY
Senator Proposes to Determine L.
gality of Auto License Law.

Jefferson City, May "a move
mem, which it is believed will result
in the indefinite postponing of the
special session of the legislature, was
started here Saturday when a sui,
was prepared to test the constitution
atty of the state automobile. license
registration law.
Sen. w. c. Irwin prepared man.
damus suit to file in the supreme
court to compel Secretary of State
Charles U. Becker to accept ST. as
registration fee for an automobile
owned by d. c. McClung of this
city.
The fee was presented to Becker
Saturday morning and was rejected.
The present license, based on horse
power, averages about $3.50 a ma
chine.
Irwin said that the constitutionality
of the registration law, which in
1920, produced $2,I1I,ooo, should be
tested in the court before the legis-
lature passes measures carrying out
the provisions of the constitutional
amendment authorizing 100000, 900
bonds for the construction of good
roads.
He declared the question of
whether the registration fee is double
taxation on automobiles should be
decided inasmuch as automobiles are
also subject to general property
tax.
The principal and interest of the
road bonds will be paid out of the
automobile license fund, which, Irwin
declared, indicates that it is rev.
enue measure. However, he believed
that the court will uphold the con-
stitutionaity of the registration law,
but believes there should be an opin-
ion from the court as proper safe
guard around the bonds to be IS
sued.
Should Irwin's suit be advanced by
the court, it is not possible to get a /
decision in the case until late in the
fall He said that Governor Hyde
had been consulted in regard to the
filing Of the suit and that it was
agreeable to him. This indicates that
the governor is not speeding up his
program to convene the special scs-
sion.
When the regular session convened
last January, Governor Hyde urged
that no road legislation be introduced
on the promise that he would call
special session Immediately after adj
journment When the session ad-
journed he announced that the spe-
cial session would be called some
time between April 10 and May I.
A further postponement was an
nounced until May IS, then May 81,
and later to June E. Announcement
of further postponement is now ex-
peCted

FEAR RETURN OF POPULISM
Economists Say Farm Conditions
Encourage Nostrums.

Washington, May 2S.-Warnine
that wave of Populism is destined
to sweep over the middle West was
given by economists here today be-
| tore the newly organized Stable
Money League. The danger, they
! said, could be forestalled by a proper
sterilization of the currency and a
committee was appointed ito report a
plan for sterilization.
The next eighteen months will
witness a severe crisis with dangers
of another rise of Populism on the
farms, such as this country expert
enced in the 7'0s, unless sound cur
rency is instituted" declared H. a.
Wallace, editor of Wallace's Farmer,
and son of the secretary of agricul-
ture. "The farmer now and probab-
;y for several years, will furnish a
very fertile soil in which new ideas
of all kinds may grow.
Last year the average renter in
the United States, after paying his
rent, had nothing left as return for
his labor, the return averaging not
more than S cents an hour. l anu
making this statement advisedly as
the result of a rather careful inves-
tigation and not merely as the emo
tioanl reaction from observation of
specific instances. Cash rents for the
coming year have been reduced per-
haps 70 per cent below last year; but
the prospective prices, Judging from
the grain futures at Chicago and the
cotton futures at New York, are suth
that with merely average weather, the
average tenant of the farm will be
very fortunate, indeed, to realize as
much as 10 cents an hour for his
labor"
Mr.. Wallace pointed out that while
the wartime prosperity period has
carried many farmers through the last
year it cannot carry them through
another year. As = result the long
suffering farmers are searching val
iantly for economic nostrums."
