The supreme court dismissed for

who sought to challenge the const,tu-
sionality Of the amendment.
The decision Of the court on the
suffrage amendment was delivered IN
the case Of Oscar Lesser and others
brought from the State Of Maryland.
The proceedings brought by Far
child were dismissed on the specific
eround that he had no standing to
bring such proceedings and did NOT
present case within the jurisdiction
u the court.
The women suffrage amendment
vas challenged in proceedings insti-
,ated by Fairchid for himself and in
Aehalf of the American Constitutional
League, to enjoin the secretary OF
state from issuing and the attorney
general from enforcing 2 proclama-
non declaring ratification Of the
amendment, and by Oscar Lesser and
other citizens of Maryland, constitut-
,ag an organization known as the
Maryland League for State De-

based on the ground that the amend

and the latter that the amendment

Measure Provides for U. S. Purchase
of Surplus Wheat

chicago, Feb. 22.-Purchase by til,
government of the surplus wheat o
she country in order to stabilize tn.
lnarket is PROVIDED tor III measure
|, proposed to individual members O
the senate farm bloc by midwest farm
ttieaaers.
+ Under the proposed bill the fixed
price for purchase OF the surplus
would be 81 so bushel.
II Herbert J. Browne, Washington,
tax specialist, who attended the farm
er-labor conference here, stated:
The plan calls for purchase of all
surplus wheat, estimated between
100000 and 100000, 900 bushels, the
wheat to be stored in government ter
ninal elevators.
I Inns wheat would be used by the
government when necessary but at all
tunes the supply is to be kept up to
be used in case of a large crop failure
or in case of famine.
I "Thc old wheat would be fed out
Tor the new and the supply would b..
sort OF insurance to the nation"
Fixing the price at $I.5o would
mean an estimated saving of AZ cents
a bushel to the farmer because of
price stabilization, according to
Browne. He estimates the total saw
ing to the farmers in wheat alone
would be $e8o,ooo,o 900 annually and
that the effect upon other grains
would mean an additional saving OF
approximately the same amount to
The farmers.

FEDERAL COMMISSION
UPHELD IN INTRA
STATE RATES
Work of State Transportation CON-
mission Virtually Wiped Out.

Washington, Feb. 27.-lncreascd
intrastate rilroad rates put into effect
in all states by the interstate COM
merce commission during 1920 and
1921 were upheld by the supreme
rourt Monday.
The decision read by Chief Justice
Taft was one OF the most important
handed down in the last decade. The
court declared constitutional that
part of the rate making provisions OF
the Esch- -Cummins law which gave
the interstate commerce commission
virtually complete control of intra.
state as we'll as interstate rates.
This provision OF the law was at
tacked by 43 states who claimed that
their sovereign rights were invaded
ty the statute and that congress had
no authority to give the commission
control over intrastate rates but only
over interstate matters.
% The suit, the first legal attack
against the Each- -Cummins law to
reach the supreme court was brought
by the Wisconsin state railroad COM
mission against the Burlington rail-
road to enjoin the charging OF the
higher rates. =.
Railroads OF the country joined
with the federal commission in the
defense of the law.
The interstate rate increases made
in August, 1920, declared invalid Mon-
day were:
Passenger fares. excess baggage,
milk and cream 20 per cent; sur
charge on Pullman accommodation
50 per cent; freight in the eastern
states 40 per cent; the western IS per
cent: the mountain and Pacific coast
20 per cent; the southern IS per cent
The same increases were applied to
interstate rates but these were not
Involved in the suit decided Monday.
The decision, it is agreed, virtually
wiped out the powers OF state railroad
commissions unless the interstate
rommcrce commission chooses to dei-
srate them some powers. The work

Sure Taxes Are Not Increased. +
Several Nevadaans who own old
automobiles can tell you how the
state raised their assessments. A
four-ycar old automobile which re-
tailed at $I25o is assessed at 5000.
Tbs automobile can be purchased
from the owner for 5000 and if you
doubt this statement just bring $500
to the office of the Daily Mail and
Post and you can drive off with the
auto. It's a six cylinder auto and if
you think its value is 5000 come and
get it. We will sell it to Gov. Hyde
or any one OF his friends.
Another automobile owner said to
the writer, my old machine is as
sessed at $500 and l will be delighted
to sell it for $780,"

tripled the assessment on personal
property.-Nevada Mail.
