Fight Over River That Runs Backward

WIsCoNSIN has been granted per-
mission by the Supreme court to
file an original bill against the state
of Illinois and the sanitary district of

sin or it's citizens are being deprived
of any rights.
Wisconsin in it's bill Of complaint,
cOntended that the level of Lake Mich
tgan and other great lakes as we'll as
their connecting waters, were being
lowered by the drainage canal. The
complaint also stated that the secre
tary Of war had authorized the with
drawal of the water from Lake Michi-
gan, whereas an act of congress was
necessary to legalize the diversion. In
the event that the court decides that
the legal authority of the state of H.

an injunction be issued to restrict the

Tries Again With Grain Bill

gresS to regulate interstate commerce
instead of the taxing power, which was
the basis of the present law and
which, the Supreme court held, could
not be exercised in that respect. The
bill, like the present law, provides for
designation and regulation of "cOn-
tract markets" by the secretary of
agriculture and for admission TO grain
exchanges of farmers cooperative as
SOciationS, the latter a provision OPP
posed vigorously by the established
boards of trade.
The contract market" provision is
designed to give the secretary of agri-
culture power to deal with the Ques-
ton of grades that may be delivered
on contracts, premiums and discounts.
inadequate elevator capacity and any
other conditions that may have similar
Importance in relation to the prices
and executions of contracts.
The packer control law Senator
Capper said, was in part the model
for the new bill to reach the grain
exchanges. Similar to the original law,
the new bill declares purely specpla-
tive grain contracts unlawful and
against the public interest.
Violation of clauses of the bill
would entail fines OF $4,000 and one
years Imprisonment.
