filed against the accused men in dis

me bhl questioning the constitu.
t'onality Of the future trading act
was filed by John Hill, Jr., memher
or the Chicago Board OF Trade. on Oct
20, and it is the first suit to test tho
law. '' " 'o'' ''lc
1T is claimed that the act is in vic.
atioh or the constitution of the United
states said Mr.. Hill, "and it will bo
taken to the U. S. Supreme Court with
the least possible delay"
Reviewing his argument against the
act' 'Mr. Hill said 1t would follow
these lines:
That the future trading act de.
prlves the members of the board Of
trade of their property without due
process OF law, in that the compul-
sorry admission to membership on the
board, Of representatives of cooper-
atiVe associations will impair the
value of all memberships on the
board.
That it attempts to regulate COM
merce of a purely intrastate charac-
ter between persons within the state
of Illinois, whereas congress has no
right to interfere with, or regulate
business that is not interstate in its
character. .'.
That it interferes with the right OF
the state of Illinois to provide for and
regulate the maintenance of grain
exchange within it's borders upon
which is conducted the making Of con.
tracts which are merely intrastate
transactions.
Attacks Coop Privilege
That it gives to farmers cooper
ative associations and their repre-.
sentatives the right to share in and
enjoy the use Of real estate owned by
the board Ca private corporation)
without giving the board any COM
pensation therefor and that it at
tempts to take the private property OF
the board for public use without CIV
ing any compensation therefor to the
owners.
That the act imposes a tax not in.
tended either to pay the debts or pro.
vide for the common defense or gen.
eral welfare of the United States, but
for the purpose. only of regulating
grain exchanges and of benefiting the
producers Of grain at the expense of
members of the grain exchanges; in
other words it is class legislation.
THAT the act authorizes unreason-
able searches by the secretary of Ag
riculture respecting books and papers
which do not relate to any property
upon which tax is imposed nor to
any transaction within the commerce
power OF congress.
"That it deprives members Of grain
exchanges of the right to contract for
the purchase of grain for future deliv-
cry as fully as owners, growers, or
growers associations are permitted
by the law to contract"

Commissioner of immigration
Urges That Diversified
Farming Be Taken Up
SEES SUCCESS IN DAIRYING
Cites Experiences of Farmers in
New Salem Circuit as
Means of Inducing Others

Assured prosperity on the part OF
farmers, now living here, will prove
to be more potent for the encourage
ment of immigration than all the
newspaper and bulletin advertising
that can be used,' declared Com
missioner OF immigration, John
II. Worst, today. Moreover, it has
been demonstrated, over and
over again, that all-grain farming
in the western two thirds Of the state
does not ) insure prosperity. 1t is
even questionable if all-grain farm
ing, in the long run, is not a delusion
in any part Of this or any other state,
since all-grain growing spells soil
exhaustion, ultimately, and he is no
farmer "who does not leave for his
son better farm than he received
from his father
"1'he few breeding circuits that have
been established in the state by
dairy farmers, on the other hand,
does point the way, to sure prosper
ity, without robbing the soil of its
fertility. In fact farms so managed
become more productive from year
to year.
why should not many more such
breeding circuits be organized in ev-
cry county in the state?
ut is not necessary, however, for
farmers generally to engage too ex-
clusively in the dairy business. Some
may do so ito advantage, but very
large number should keep q sufficient
number of cows to insure steady
income that will meet the ordinary
family expenses. Other kinds of live
stock, such as pigs and beef animals,
even sheep, can be kept to advantage
and much roughage and low grade
grain that would otherwise be west
ed, made profitable.
Corn Crops Good "
notwithstanding the lack of
moisture over a considerable portion
,of the state during the past four
years, corn has made a good crop
where ever given sufficient cultiva-
ton. Sweet clover as pasture crop
has also proved successful and farm
ers who. planted plenty Of corn and
sweet ,cloyer and are provided with
silosN ahd tbwsg dfe making but little
complaint about hard times. Not so,
the grain farmer. With the latter,
many are on the verge of bank
ruptcy.
1T would seem wise, therefore, for
the farmers to organize dairy circuits
similar to the New Salem circuit
and do it now. During the winter
months meetings can be held and
plans perfected and such experts as
Max Morgan invited to explain how
the cows can be secured. Although
money is scarce, I understand that
credit can be had for the purchase
OF cows where farmers give evidence
Of their ability to properly care for
them.
Need Diversified Farming
"When we demonstrate that farm
ers can prosper in this state by
means of diversified farming, there
will be but little difficulty to induce
farmers from other states to Settle
here and put under cultivation mil
ions of our now unused acres.
