Tchitcherin alluded to the rights Of

The financial report. like the mem

PACKER AND SIOCKyARD
ACT IS CONSTITUTIONAL
United States Supreme Court Holds
Business Is Interstate in
Character

Washington.-The packer and stock
yard regulation act Of 1921. which was
put through congress largely through
the efforts Of the agricultural bloc.
was held constitutional Tuesday by
the supreme court.
Declaring the stockyards ''are not
place of rest. or final destination but
throat through which the current flows
and the transactions which occur
therein are only incident to this cur
rent from the west to the east. and
from one state to another" the court
described the livestock business con.
Quoted in the yards as interstate in
character.
Congress. in the act, "treats the var
ious stockyards of the country as great
national public utilities to promote the
flow of commerce." Chief Justice Taft
stated in delivering the opinion of the
court. "And assumed that they con-
duct business affected by public
use of national character and SUBJ
tect to national regulations. That it
Is business within the power of regu-
lation by legislature needs no discus
sion."
The law was challenged by certain
commission merchants and dealers in
the Chicago stock yards, who brought
separate suits in an effort to restrain
the secretary of agriculture from en-
forcing the law. The issue raised,
aside from the legislation question,
was whether the business done in the
stock yards between the receipt Of the
livestock and its shipment. was part
| of interstate commerce. The court an
swered that question was one disposed
of in the Swift case, saying 1.-THE judy
ment in that case gives a clear and
comprehensive exposition which leaves
to us in this case little but the obvious
application Of the principles there de.
clared."
The court added that those prin.
| ciples 'have become fixed rule Of
this court in the construction and APP
plication Of the commerce clause" Of
the constitution.
Chief Justice Taft said 1t was mani
fest that congress formed the packers
and stockyards act in keeping with the
Swift decision and that what congress
had in mind primarily was to prevent
such conspiracies by supervision of the
agencies which would be likely to be
employed in It,"

ADVICE TG THE LOVEL0RN
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

even then the girl must have known them for what they might be.
 When a. girl finds herself potentially in love with another woman's husband or fance, then is her time to act And the one decent, chiva1rous way to act is to run from the thing which threat ems to grow out of all proportions.
 The girl whose life stretches before her with every possibility of finding the right Iove-the one man-needn't permit herself to go thieving into the home of another woman. She need not steal a father from his children. She need not destroy another vonan's house of happiness. When sine real- izes how things are going, the girl can stop them-if she will
 And if the girl has any common sense to add to her ideals. she may well stop and ask what possibility of happiness there is for her after she has done her thieving. Will she ever trust the man she won so unfairly Will she ever be sure of him? Won't she find herself suspecting and spying and questioning? And won't the man inevitably tire of her, as he did of her pred decessor-while she either suffers bangs like those she inflicted or goes on to find herself another 'afdnity7"
 Love isn't based on deceit. It must be found on trust and respect and a right to self-expression.
 Ultra m odern thinkers may scoff. But human nature has built it's foun- dations and ideals through the ages. And one puny human or two can't change them.
 But there's this also to say. When a wife finds that her husband has nothing to give her, when she holds him only by force of the Iaw-then isn't her marriage annu1led by the death of the feelings which made it. true and beautiful? Isn't she making a tragic blunder to try to hold the worthless thing which is no longer hers by divine right?
