BURKE TO BEGIN
ALL0VER AGAIN
Former Governor Hears Law.
yers Say 'sNot a Cent"

New York, Feb. 27.-With the ma
terial for an honorable biography al
ready behind him and at the age when
most men sit back to contemplate with
satisfaction on Life we'll spent, John
Burke, former treasurer Of the United
States and former governor of North
Dakota, is going to begin all over.
In an office in New York Mr.. Burke
heard the lawyers say: Not cent" "
They spoke OF his personal fortune,
and of the assets of the Kardos and
Burke brokerage firm, which came to
dramatic crash.
Sixty-three years old, bowed with
worry, Burke went to the office OF
David K. Kahn, attorney for Robert
P. Stephenson, the receiver, turned
over his bank book with deposits of
about $500 and his paid up life in
surance for $4,000. 1t was all there
was left. =. :.
Burke is left virtually penniless, it
was explained by Arthur L. Ross, h's
attorney. Seeing the condition Of the
firm, he put about $4,000 of his own
money into it within the last two
weeks, and it went with the rest.
"I'll begin over" Mr.. Burke said.
"rhe whole thing reminds me OF the
old adage, 'Cobler stick to your last
he continued. 81 am lawyer, made
4 mistake by going into the brokerage
business"
Mr., Burke has not decided whether
he will return to North Dakota, where
once he made so propitious a start.

STATE LOSES RATE SUIT

Washington. Feb. 27.r-Rnilroad
passenger fares within a state are
subject to regulation by the federal
government, the supreme court today
declared.
The court sustained the lower court
which prohibited the Wisconsin rail-
road commission with interfering with
the c. B. & @. in putting into effect
increases in passenger fares in state
travel authorized by the Interstate
Commerce Commissions 5T
The Wisconsin rate case was re-
garded as test case involving the
constitutionality Of the Esch-Cummins
law and the power Of the Inter State
Commerce Commission over the state
commissions. The state of North Da-
kota was deeply concerned in this
case, as it decided points involved in
the fight against increases in railroad
rates started in this state by Former
Attorney-General Lemke.
The decision establishes supremacy
OF the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion over the states in rate making
even within states.

SUPREME COURT
OF j, s, DIVIDES
IN ITS OPINION
Opinion Read by Justice Day
Holds it Interference with
Interstate Commerce
3 JUDGES IN DISSENT
Case Instituted by Farmers
Grain Company of Embden,
N. D. Decided
JUDGES IN DISSENT

Washington, Feb. 27-The North
Dakota law regulating grain inspec-
ton and purchase was today declared
invalid by the supreme court in an
opinion read by Justice Day.
The U. S. district court in proceed.
ings instituted by the Farmers Grain
Company of Embden N. D., upheld the
law.
The court of appeals for the eighth
circuit reversed the decision, holding
the law in conflict with federal sta
tutes and an interference with inter.
state commerce.
Justice Brandeis announced he and
Justices Holmes and Clark did not ap-
prove the opinion. He asserted the
law was a valid exercise of the states
police power to prevent the perpetra-
ton of fraud within the state and pro-
tect the consumer against the seller.
He stated the court should have up
held the law eliminating any conflict
there might have been between state
law and federal law.
The suit involving the state grain
grading act was started by the Farm
ers Grain Company, of Embden, in the
federal district court for North Da.
kota. District Judge Amidon decided
in favor of the state. The case was
appealed by the grain company to the
United States Circuit Court of Ap-
peals which sustained the grain COM
pany The state then appealed to the
United States Supreme Court which
now sustains the company.
The grain grading law was the
cause of much discussion and was ,
heralded by the Nonpartisan league
of league legislature.
J. F. T. O'Connor and Sveinbjorn
Johnson were attorneys for the grain
company when the suit was instituted
Mr.. Johnson retired from the case
last fall when he entered the cam
paign and when he became Attorney
General continued the appointment of
Seth Richardson, of Fargo, to uphold
the law in the case in the supreme
court.
The grain company alleged the law
was invalid because congress in pass
ing the, grain standards and inspec-
tion act pre- e-empted the field and the
state could not occupy the field where
there were Inconsistencies between
the state and federal laws; that the
state was attempting to regulate in
terstate commerce in virtually pro-
hibiting shipments Of grain from the
state that had not complied with the
state inspection when the federal law
permitted shipment of the grain out
of the state to the federal inspection
points.
It has been contended that the fed.
eral and state grain grades are vfrtu-
ally the same, although there are the
above alleged inconsistencies in ad.
