Capper-T incher Law
Regulating Grain
EXCHANGES Attached

Chicago, Nov. 7-Regulation Of
grain exchanges as provided in the
capper Tinchcr law going into effect
Dec. 4 is attacked here in a suit SGT
for argument before Judge X. VI.
Lands today.
The bill questioning the constitu-
tionality Of the future trading act was
filed by John Hi. Jr. a member OF
the Chicago BOARD Of Trade. on Oct,
70. and it is the first suit to test the
law.
ut is claimed that the act is in
violation of the constitution of the
United states" said Mr. Hill. "and it
will be taken to the l.. s. Supreme
court with the least possible delay"
Reviewing his argument against
the act. Mr.. Hill said it would follow
these lines:
That the future trading act de-
privcs the members Of the board Of
trade of their property without due
process of law. in that the com
nulsofy admission to membership on
the board, aof representatives Of CO.
operative associations viii impair the
value Of all memberships on the
board.
THAT it attempts to regulate com
merce Of purely interstate charar-
ter between persons within the state
OF Illinois. whereas Congress has no
right to interfere with, or regulate
business that is not interstate in it's
character.
That it interferes with the right
OF the state Of Illinois to provide for
and regulate the maintenance OF a
grain exchange within its borders
upon which is conducted the making

control Of every phase of water power
in the state. So far as ths public at
upon this occasion have not been
changed or modified. He has upon
some occasions talked with reference
/ 10 storage amendment TO the Com
stitution, but never, so far as we
know, has he receded from the posi-
I ton he took last winter. Many OF
our members with whom / have
: talked have rather doubted that the
three gentlemen named were in fun
accord with this announced program
Of the Governor. and have rather
hoped and expected that there would
I he some explanation OF the public an
nouncement above referred to, and
have been frankly disappointed that
none appeared. Some of our members
are a bit "het up over the matter.
and are somewhat outspoken in the
statement that if member Of the

/ House was seeking information upon

II
rortance to industry In his State. he
ought to consult with those manu-
facturers who have an opinion with
reference to the best course to be
followed and have certain facts up
on which they rely in support of
their opinion.
Feeling that the situation which
Eapparently exists may have resulted
from misunderstanding, I felt IT my
I6uty both to you and 10 this Asso-
citation to put the matter squareIy
before you. and suggest that in fair
ness to all there should be some pub
lie statement OF the reason for the
gathering which undoubtedly took
place, and what the particular water
power program Is To which you are
said 10 have become committed.
think you will agree that this Asso-
citation has a right 10 know. and
think YOU will perhaps also he con-
WINGED that If your constituents. by
reason Of the above announcemen mt
have been misled into believing that
YOU are in accord with certain pro-
ject of the Governor and are not ac-
tuallv in full accord with that project,
have a right to know what is your at
titude upon this all-important mat
ter.
I am, therefore, making these sug-
Ieestions to you. ami hope that this
/ office may he favored with a frank
and full reply.
Very sincerely yours.

served in the Legislature.
The first two have been settled ~
law and charter amendment and
have been endorsed BY an over

third is yet to be settled
First; Names Water Powers
must be kept in Maine for the benefit
of Maine people and Maine indus
tries. 1t has taken several years Of
hard work in the Legislature to es-
tablish this principle beyond recall.
Second: Whore the Legislature
has given away n franchise in
Names public lakes and natural
storage reservoirs. the State reserves
the right if the public needs require
it, TO take back the franchise with
out paying for it. This means that
the State would pay a fair price for
all Improvements and Developments,
and for all money invested in the
property, but would not be obliged
TO pay for the franchise which the
state itself gave away. This prin-
ciplo has been established within
the past five years.
Third: The Storage Reservoir

this statement, publish the three let
tcrs above given, and announce the
three cardinal points OF Names Wa
ter Power Policy so that the citizens
Of our State may understand the
position that I always have held on
the Water Power question"

RFranehise Rights Causing Women To
Take keeneF Interest In Courts.

George County Times,
Since the women have been given
a voice in the management of the
government they are taking much
interest in attending court and fa-
miliari2ing themselves with the du-
ties not only of the voter. but of the
officers as well, and we are glad to
see this the case. We were opposed
to woman suffrage not because we
doubted the wisdom Of the woman
vote but because of the lack OF in
terest in the ladies and the determ-
inatipn OF the element that we do
mot want to vote at any cost. Now
since the woman has vote, we are
in favor Of every mother and every
sister being properly registered and
and in position to defeat any move
ment that is made agalnst morality
and good government.

Fayors Stressing Cooperative Selling
Ahead Of Buying For Farmers.

New Augusta News.
The idea as now In force in many
places, and which, it is to be hoped,
will soon prevail in Perry County as
well as all over the country, is very
different from some OF the farmers
organizations that have flourished
heretofore. Those organizations,
while of much benefit to the farmers
in social way, generally had as
their nam purpose cooperative buy
ing, thus interfering with the bust.
ness OF the local merchants and at
the same time accomplishing no real
benefit. The local merchant is just
as useful as the local. farmer. But
the sooner that vast army OF middle
men, whose sole business is to take
toll of the farmers products as they
pass through their hands, is eliminat-
Ied the better for all.
