DEC|S|UN AGAINST
LEVER FOOD LAW
SUPREME COURT HOLDS THAT
SECTION OF LEVER ACT is
UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Ell
Opinion Rendered in Appeal From
Decision Of Lower Court in Quash-
ing Indictment Against Alleged
Profiteer in Sugar.

Washington-Th supreme court on
February p held unconstitutional the
sections of the Lever act under which
the government stopped the coal strike
of 1919, and subsequently launched it's
campaign to reduce the cost Of living
by prosecuting alleged hoarders and of
profiteers in foodstuffs and other
necessities.
The courts opinion was rendered in
an appeal by the government from a
decree in lower courts quashing an
indictment aga nst an alleged profiteer
in sugar, but it was sweeping in it's
terms and will have the effect Of end
ing all prosecutions instituted by the
department of justice in its cost Of
living campaign.
The action Of the government in OBJ
tanning injunctions to stop the strike
of miners in November, 1919, was not
before the court, but department of
justice officials said it was under sec
ton 4, which was held invalid, that
the government had proceeded. mi
The opinion was based largely on
the Indebtedness of thhe sections un-
der review. Chief Justice White, de-
parting from his prepared opinion, re-
marked that the scope of the sections
apparently was "as broad as human
Imagination" and that the "degree of
criminality was left to ever-changing
standards"
Associate Justices Brandeis and Pit
ney dssented as to the reasoning by
which the courts decision was reached,
but concurred in the result.
The, chief justice said in his writ
ten opinion that the sections under
discussion did not constitute fixing
by congress of an ascertainable stand
ard of guilt" and were not adequate
to inform persons accused of violations
thereof of the nature and cause of the
accusation against them"
The latitude of possible interpreta-
ton was clearly evidenced, he said, by
the various cases brought before the
court. These cases, numbering ten,
ranged from specific convictions to
denial of injunctions sought by retail
ers to restrain government agents from
proceeding against them. In some cases
the government appealed from adverse
decisions of lower courts quashing in
dictmentS, and in others it defended
decisions in it's favor.
The decision will result in the dis
missal of profiteering charges brought
against seventeen prominent Utahns
in fourteen indictments found in Utah,
Idaho, North Dakota and Montana.
Most of the indictments grew out of al
legged prOfiteering by the Utah-Idaho
Sugar company, eight of the directors
of which are named in the findings Of
the grand juries of the four states.

In The Legislature

| Declaring that more than two and
a half million acres of available ir.
rigable land now lies idle in this
state because of lack of proper means
for it's development, that bonds OF
irrigation districts are unsOld or sell
ing at ruinous discount because OF
lack of certainty and popular con-
fidence, and emphasizing the fact
that these conditions do not spring
from any lack of success on the part
CT irrigated Idaho lands, Governor
D. w. Davis in long message cover
ing the subject from many angles,
urged passage of house bills No. 143
and No. 80 at joint session of the
legislature Monday morning. The
m essage was we'll received.
Speaking of house bill No. 143,
providing for county units, Governor
Davis commended that it was in line
with systems in successful operation
in other statesA He quoted Arthur
P. Davis, headsof the United States
reclamation service to the effect that
similar laws with reference to drain
age in humid regions, and predicting
that if passed and found constitu-
tional it would do much to remove
uncertainty.
The governor then stated that the
attorney general and a number Of
other attorneys had passed on the
measure and were convinced of it's
constitutionality.
He said that the measure carried
no appropriation; that it protected
the rights of taxpayers; that a sub
stantial petition signed by resident
tax payers would be necessary to
bring the matter before the county
commissioners; that the county
bounty having considered it must
submit it to the state; that the state
commissioner Of reclamation must
then consider it in all it's phases;
that money must be deposited by
petitioners to cover all costs of in
vestigation; that a two-thirds ma
jority of resident taxpayers must
vote favorably; that the district
court must confirm all proceedings
and assessments; that the matter
could then be taken to the supreme
court; that no direct financial bounty
would be assumed by either state or
county; that there would be the full
est publicity; that it was a home
rule measure; that there would be
close supervision of all work; that
this or some similar measure will be
necessary in order to secure fullest
cooperation with the federal govern
ment and does not interfere with
existing water rights.
Governor Davis then urged passage
of house bill No. 80, which he said
was similar to laws existing in Cali
fornia and Oregon for the stabiliza-
ton of bonds of irrigation districts
He said that in one case under pres
ent conditions a certain school dis
trict sold bonds at premium, while
an irrigation district found it i'm
possible to get anything like fair

value on bonds backed by the same
sort of security.
In closing Governor Davis said:
Both of these bills are we'll
adapted to meet certain conditions
in different parts of the state. They
are much needed and have been un-
qualifiedly endorsed and favorably
recommended by the officers of the
United States reclamation service
and of the several irrigation asso-
Citations of the state as we'll as men
we'll informed on this subject.
II invite your special attention
and consideration to the several re-
naming measures now before you
and recommended by the commits
sioner of reclamation. i take
great pleasure in adding my endorse
ment to these constructive laws
which | believe will mean so much
to the future growth and prosperity
of our state
What will happen to the primary
law?
Well, the senate bill will be taken
up by the house one of these days,
which means quite soon, and about
all that will be left will be the title
number. The house will do the cue
koo act. use the other fellows nest
for it's eggs. 1t will substitute it's
own bill for that of the senate.
There is just possibility that there
will be a part of the senate measure
worked into the house bill. One
member of the Legislature assured
the writer this morning that if the
senate bill contained any good fea-
lures not included in the house bill,
they would be worked into it. Others,
however, say that nothing but the
title will be taken. Not all sena-
tors who voted to table the house
primary bill favor the senate mea-
sure, or oppose the direct primary.
Some of them will vote for a COM
promise bill and will even give the
house the big end of it if they can
get what they consider fairly rea-
sonable concessions. There is one
element among the Republicans in
the house that wants to force the
issue into the next campaign. Demo-
Gratis, for certain reasons having
little to do with the direct primary
want the primary bill passed now,
altho they are bound by their party
pledges to vote for it anyhow.
The senate bill changing the loca-
ton of the state normal from Albion
to Burley passed Monday by vote
of twenty-siX to eleven. 1t will likely
rass the house. Other cities than
Burley want the normal when it is
moved and these will oppose passage
as they have been doing.
The anti-cigarette bill had not
reached Governor Davis Monday
morning. He has not indicated what
he will do with it and altho many pro-
tests are coming in it is thought
he will sign the measure.
House Japanese bill was killed in
the senate Monday afternoon. House
later substituted it's own primary
bill for senate election bill and
passed it. 1t is reported that the
house will not confer on difference.

New Gold Wien
In Black Hills

Lead, Nov. 15.-Mine Inspector
Ellerman took day off and drove
down to Redfern mountain, where he
inspected and looked over the report
ed rich strike of gold ore which had
been made there. He says there Ger
tainly lis sonfa rich ore being taken
from the find, but that 1t occurs In
narrow fissures, some OF these from
two to three inches wide. While the
ore that Is taken from the small fis-
sures Is exceedingly rich, the streaks
in which 1t occurs are so small that
the find, while 1t may be developed
with depth is nothing to go wild
over. The work that Is being done
on the vein may develop 1t and at
depth, or when they get further
beneath the hill, the ledge may ex-
pand and good body Of fine COM
mercial ore opened up. 1t is good
proposition for one man who can de-
vote his time to selecting the ore and
pounding 1t up in a mortar and pan
ming such that he does not ship. but
it would take a long time to accum-
ulate carload. However, should a
carload OF the rich stuff be gotten to-
gether it would mean fortune for
the lucky owner. The district In
which the find is located Is a most
promising one, and some day there
will be good paying mines opened up
in 1t.

Toxic, Nov. 15.--Showers of rocks
larger than ships were hurled from
raging volcano on Kamchatka
where terrible and magnificent vol
canic phenomenon occurred in Au-
gust recalling the primitive days OF
the formation of the earth. After
having been wrecked and washed
away on the shore of Kamchatka
Frederick Mccormick, well known
American newspaper correspondent
witnessed the extra ordinary erup-
tion.
In a report to the Japan Advertis-
er. Mr.. Mccormick says: ION arriv-

heard from fisherman of an
earthquake above Hokkaido and the
disappearance in the sea- September

rile group. The earthquake extend
ed from Hokkaido to the Aleutians
and was but a prolongation of the
seismatic phenomena occurring In
/ rKamchatka, where was yrecked on
the Kronotsky Peninsula. Ten days
later 60 sea miles to the south,
found myself at Semlachik from
there I saw the magnificent erup-
ton of volcano Karimskaya. Above
mountain ridge which day between
we could see without the aid ol
glasses the expulsion of showers OF
rocks, many of which must have
been larger than ships. as they flew
through the sky In giant parabolas
Only the flowery crest of the erup-
tion was visible to us as 1t played
against the sky. The smoke column
tilted southwark by the wind, reach
ed upwards thousands of feet and IN
two days the smoke cloud extended
100 miles down the coast and out tt

ASSISTS GIRLS
| TO GET JOBS
BUT HAS DIFFICULTY ATTEND.
ING TO ALI UNEMPLOYED
IN NEW YORK.

New York, Nov. 15.-Faced with
the problem of finding jobs for the
increasing number of girl APPLICANTS
at their Employment Bureaus, the
Metropolitan Board Of the Y. w. C.
A., last week conducted a job drive
in New York City in their behalf.
Ten per cent more women are out of
employment in New York this year
than last their statistics show. The
situation is made worse by the large
number of girls constantly arriving
in New York in search OF work.
The situation is increasingly seri-
Gus this year, due largely to the fact
that the pinch of actual want is be-
ing manifested as result of the
general unemployment among wo-
men. Few wlfo APPLIED for positions
last year were actually suffering
from lack of funds; there were evil
IDENTIFY resources sufficient to carry
them over slack period. Now how
ever. such resources have been ex-
hausted and unless jobs turn up
there will be many instances of want
this winter.
Apparently reports of unemploy-
ment here have not reached the
youn women who leave home con-
fident of position In New York. "

There is no compromise in this

hold up his hands, but both must
begin shooting. One may be killed,
but the other will get the robber and
save the mail. When our men go as
