FARM LOAN ACT
is UPHELD BY
HIGHEST COURT
Aid to Agriculturists Possible
Under Ruling of COnstitu-
tiOnality.
JUSTICES VOTE 6 TO 2

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. - The
United States Supreme Court today
held the farm loan act constitutional.
The decision came in a suit which
has halted the business Of the farm
loan system for several months.
Justice Day read the decision.
The vote Of the court on the ques-
ton was 6 to 2.
Justices Holmes and McReynolds dis
sented on the ground that the court had
no Jurisdiction. Justice Brandeis did not
sit In the case.
The decision is expected to aid greatly
in relieving the financial distress now
confronting agricultural interests, as 1t
will now be possible to extend more loans
to the farmers.
The action Of Congress in exempting
all bonds and farm mortgages of the
Federal farm loan system from Federal,
State and municipal taxation-the center
of the attack-was held to be valid
Likewise the power Of Congress to es-
tablish the Federal land banks and the
joint stock land banks as comprising
the Federal farm loan system, also under
re Of the opponents Of the act, was de-
clared to be within the limit Of the Con
sutution.
The decision afirms decisions Of the
Federal District Court at Kansas City
on a case brought by Charles f. Smith
against the Kansas City Title and Trust
Company, the Federal Land Bank at
Wichita and the Joint Stock Land Bank
Company, Chicago
The act was defended by w. G. Me
Adoo, George w. WlckerSham and
Charles T. Hughes.

ASK TRANSFER
OF 100000 TO
SAVE SCHOOLS
Administration Chiefs Act to
Keep $50 in State From
Closing.
RICH COUNTIES TO LOSE

In a desperate effort to prevent the
closing of approximately $50 schools
in the southern part of the State, ad-
ministration leaders decided this
morning to ask the Legislature to
sanction the transfer of 100000 from
the common school fund to the school
aid fund This decision was reached
in a conference Governor Warren T.
McCray had with legislative and edu-
cational leaders.
Under the present law So per cent Of
tn ecommon school levy Of 90 Per cent
Is set aside in a fund to be used in as
sisting schools IN the poorer counties to
maintain at least an average term of
six months. The action Of the special
Legislature last summer in raising
teachers wages without providing
method for caring for the higher ex-
penses practically wiped out the state
aid fund and at present there is no
money with which to care for the des-
titute institutions.
The Governor has been deluged with
telegraph appeals from school dis
tricts protesting they will be obliged to
close their schools this week unless aid
is forthcoming. 1t Is estimated S294 600
would be necessary to cover all Of the
requests.
BELIEVES 100000
WILL SAVE DAY.
The administration, however. after
carefully surveying the situation. believes
100000 VIII save the day II all Of the
schools wAl economic to the limit.
For that reason Senator Oscar Rats,
administration floor leader. has drafted
bill which he viii introduce in the
Senate. ca ling for transfer " that sum
from the common school fund to the State
aid fund.
This action may take some money
away from the schools In the Weather
districts" said Governor McCray. but I
believe they are all big enough and broad
enough to stand their share In order to
keep these $50 schools in session.
THE schools which are threatened with
closing must have an answer at once.
Many will close this week. and that is
why we must hasten TO get this measure
through. We have told them to keep
their organizations together and we feel
sure that the assistance they so earnest
ly desire will be forthcoming before the
end Of the week"
7-CENT LEVY
NOT AVAILABLE.
The 7-cent common scuooi levy, which
has passed the House. and is pending
In the Senate. provides for the reimturs-
Ing Of tho State aid fund, but. Inasmuch
as that money Will not be available un-
I'll 1922 It was apparent 70 the legls-
lative leaders that some other measure
must be taken.
The proposed bill is somewhat similar
to the Boner measure. which was killed
In the House. It sought to appropriate
$4,000 from the general fund 10 the
school aid fund. but since the treasury
Will be stretched to the limit to handle
the other appropriations arising out
of this session It IS doubtful II it would
have saved the day for the hard pinched

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Instead OF

other papers bearing on foreign loans
as he had promised to do, Secretary Of
Treasury Houston sent word to the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee today he had
turned them all over to Secretary of State
Colby to determine whether they should
be made public.
Houston's action was criticised bitterly
by Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri;
Senator Cummins. Iowa. and other men,

palpable attempt to suppress the facts
regarding the course pursued by the
Treasury Department in connection with
foreign loans.

means of compelling the Secretary of the

retary Of State" Senator Cummins de-
clared.

MAYOR JEWETT
RECALLS OWN
CAR PROMISES
Cross-town Traffic Issue With
Shank Four Years Ago
Again Revived.
STATEMENT IS ISSUED

Four years ago as a candidate for
mayor, Charles w. Jewett was in
competition with Samuel Lewis
Shank on the matter of which could
make the most extravagant promises
for the establishment of cross-tOwn
car lines. Mayor Jewett was elect
ed and promptly forgot his promises
to recall those promises today for
the first time in the four intervening
years.
Accompanying his speech with a some
what lame assertion that some people
talk about establishing cross-town car
lines like they could be put down by
magic" the mayor asked DR.. Henry
Jameson, president Of the board of di-
rectors; Robert I. Todd, president, and
James P TrettOn, superintendent Of the
Indianapolis Street Railway Company, If
the company would not take as one Of
the things I'VE can think about the es-
tablishment Of a cross town line from
the end of East Michigan to the end Of
West Michigan street and another in
South street connecting Kentucky and
Virginia avenues. He had called the
traction officials into conference with him
self and the board of public works pri-
mariIy to discuss the establishment OF
through service from IrvingtOn to Mt.
Jackson on the East and West Washing
ton street lines.
INSTRUCTED TO
WORK OUT SOME PLAN.
Mr.. Tretton was instructed by Mr.. Todd
to work out some plan by which the
through service in Washington street
might be given a try-Out, although all Of
the traction officials predicted that the
experiment would be a dismal failure.
The mayor and the board told them to
go ahead and try 1t, anyway, since the
people who have been demanding such
service for several years never would be
silent until the plan is proven failure.
The traction men pointed out some
great difficulties which they said stand
in the path Of crOsstOwn car lines. chief
among which is the impOssibnity Of ind
ing two lines which match in the amount
of traffic and the number OF cars re
Quired.
Arguing against the proposed through
service IN w aShlngtOn street, MI 1000
and Mr.. Tretton each pointed out the
fact that the Belt Railroad ties up the
Washington street cars many times a
day and that If the cars should run
through the city. the service in both
East and West Washington street would
be hampered. The jitneys are an unend-
ing source Of trouble on the West Wash
ingtOn street line, it was said, because
they travel in triOs, one lOafing along
on the track ahead of the street car to
keep it from going fast while the other
two automobiles dash on ahead and pick
up the passengers which otherwise would
