RULE SECTION
Of ACT USURPS
POLICE POWERS
Senator Declares Decision
Practically Destroys
Effectiveness

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Section
A of the future trading act and those
parts OF the act which are reugla-
tions affected by the so-called tax
imposed by that section. were today
held unenforceable by the supreme
court in an opinion delivered by
Chief Justice Taft, to which Justice
Brandeis dissented.
The section was held unenforceable
because it was not valid exercise
of the taxing power of the federal
government in that it attempted to
regulate transactions over which the
federal government has no constitu-
tional control, mad was an invasion
of the police powers of the state
Section 4 imposed tax of 20 cents
. bushel upon future rtades in grain
wien made upon exchanges not con
tract" markets subject to federal con-
troll, or when not made by actual
owners of the grain or by the own
ers or the renters of land upon
which the grain is to be grown.
While the decision stated that a
number OF the sections of the act
were valid, Senator Capper, Republic
can. Kansas, one of its authors, de-
clared the decision a Knockout
which practically destroyed the eff
fectiveness of the act The purpose
of the statute was primarily to regu-
alte the future trading in grain so as
to compel the larger exchanges 10
admit to membership cooperative
farmers organizations. This was
done by providing that the heavy
tax would be imposed upon all such
exchanges which did not become
contract" markets requiring the ex
changes to amend their rules and
admit the farmers cooperative or
ganizations to membership.
Sales for future delivery in grain
exchanges are not of themselves In.
terstate commerce, the court declar
ed. Section IL of the act provided
that should any section be declared
invalid, that should not affect the
validity of the remaining sections.
The court found that there were
sections of the act which must be
held valid, such as Section 8, author
izing investigations by the secretary
of agriculture and his publication OF
results.
Section 3 also was declared valid
That section imposed a tax of 20
cents bushel on transactions known
to hte tarde as privileges" bids,
"offers," puts and calls 'indemni
ties" or ups and downs"

publican tariff bloc, which succeeded

cept mcst of its tariff rates on prod

feated today in the senate in its first

pressed confidence that they would be

their group were absent today or

The law was attacked in the su-
preme court by three cases from
North Carolina, appealed by the gov
ernment. Two of these, the Atherton
Mills, and that by John George and
others, were dismissed on technicali-
ties, but the case brought by the DreX-
ell Furniture Company Was found in
proper form and it was in that the law
was declared invalid.
The opinion was delivered by Chief
Justice Taft with no dissent announc-
ed. The case was discussed at length
in view of previous decisions involv-
ing questions bearing upon the taxing
power of congress, and the law was
held invalid as an attempt by congress
to regulate through it's taxing power
something entirely within the juris-
diction of the various states in the
exercise of their police power.
