Branding alleged war frauds
as a scandal "blacker than hell" !"
Congressman King, (R). Of ILL.,
nois, today urged the House to
pass a 100000 special appropri-
alton for the Department Of JUS
tice to be Ssal in ferriting out
war profite4rs.
New Jails Needed.
New jails will have to be built
to hold the thieving Apaches II JUS
tive prevails" King declared. His
remarks brought a storm Of ap-
plause from both sides OF the
chamber.
Great obstacles will be thrown
in the way of the investigation and
many faithless men will have to be
removed" King asserted. Never
theless this is the peoples move
ment and its momentum cannot be
delayed"
King declared Attorney General
Daughertys dismissal of Major w.
o. Watts had raised the curtain
on what promises to be, IL justice
prevails, the greatest exhibition of
thievery, speculation, and exploita-
ton of q patient people and their
Government, surrounded by a scene
blacker than hell and as rotten as
the ancient state OF Denmark"
The dismissal OF Watts, King de-
clared. deprived the Department OF
Justice Of a patriotic servant who
desired to unearth and bring to
light the most powerful group Of
grating ApaChes that ever infested
and threatened the life Of any gov
ernment since history began"
Worked in Dream.
King praised the stand Of Watts
In coming to Congress. the true

of war frauds after be-
ing dismissed by Attorney General
Watts saved the Government
millions of dollars in the Infamous
harness contract alone. A large
part of the genuine substance in
the Graham investigation is based
on the evidence and work OF this
same Major Watts, who worked
unstintingly and with meager re.
AT the Department of Justice
Major Watts labored, as did, under
the hallucination that one or two
at least of the big grafters OF the war
and after were to be placed behind
the bars. He became discoura ged
and brought his data to Congress.
Whom should he consult if not the
representatives of the people? I am
surprised and gratified TO know that
he got away safely from the Depart.
ment of Justice with mis- records"

and wed another.
Mr.. Mccormick refused to com
ment upon the statements attributed
to his fianCee. He is pursuing his
courtship as ardently as ever and
insists that the wedding will take

gayeties in Paris and is again making
conditions for her marriage with the
youthful scion of the rich Chicago
house Of Mccormick" The contiau.
Gus series of the dances and trips to
races has begun to get monotonous.

ARGUMENT
AGAINST IT
IS RULED.

Lack of Representation OF
Citizens Cited, But JUS
tees Oyerrule 1t.

The District of Columbia 1917
Intangible tax law was held valid
by Supreme Court Of the United
States in a decision rendered to-
day by Associate Justice Bran
deis.
An attack on the validity Of the
Intangible tax law and refund OF
S1,478 paid under that tax was asked
in appeals brought to the court by
Augustus s. Worthington and John
G. Heald, executors OF the will Of
Eugene Peters, in a case against
the District of Columbia.
Questions raised by the case were
whether Congress under present
conditions has power to tax the
Inhabitants of the District of Co
lIimbia, and having that power, Is II
Of the extent that It may impose
taxes at it's pleasure and Epply the
proceeds to the payment of the gen
eral expenses of the Government OF
the United States.
Argument Unsounl.
Lack of representation of the tax
payers OF the District Of Columbia
in the fixing of the taxes invalidated
the tax laws, it was argued.
The present anomalous condition
of a community being taxed without
its participation or consent could be
obviated, 1t was claimed, by grant
ing the District of Columbia rep
resentative in Congress or by Con
gress creating some board or body
to levy taxes for the District and ap-
pointing a representative from tho
taxpayers to that board or body.
The Supreme Court of the United
States held this argument was not

bonds, which solo as high as 20 a
flew weeks ago, have been gradu-
ally declining since the announce
ment of the readjustment plan Of
the Interborough finances.
Mexican bonds were firmer on q
good demand. reflecting the grow.
ing confidence that the Republic
of Mexico will eveutally be able
to make some satisfactory adjust
ment of its foreign obligations.
Mexican As gained ~ at 55%,
while the e5's sold up IL to 66&.
The French cities bonds were
more active and slightly higher to-
day, the SIS of Lyons and Mar
seilles selling at SIN; the French
government SIS were slightly
higher at 104&. while the rs
rs gained y at 101&. San Paulo

Labor Law
BY International News Service.

The Supreme Court Of the
United States today declined to
decide the validity Of the Child

FARMERS BLOC LARGEST SINGLE INTEREST
MAMERICAN POLITICS and POWERFUL

ticable and what is economically Inn
possible.
1t is true that at least ono of tho
measures which they sought to press
thru the recent session of Congress
went to extremes. That was the ef-
fort to have the United States govern
ment engage directly in the business
of buying farm products and selling
them abroad. In the end. however.
that measure was modified In the
Senate to merely advancing govern
ment money to aid farmers in carry
ing their products and saving them
from throwing their goods on a
panicky market. In this latter shape
in which the measure finally passed
congress It was sufficiently practicable
to engage the support of wide varie-
ties of businessmen and its actual op-
Grafton is now in the hands OF New
York banker, Mr.. Eugene Meyer. Jr.
For the future, the principal effort
now being made is to pass a statute
which will legaltze and otherwise
encourage cooperative marketing by
the farmers of their goods. This
movement has the hearty endorse
ment and announcement of another
entirely practical New York banker.
Mr. 3, NJ. Baruch.
Another of the efforts now being
made by the farm bloc is to provide
credit, under government auspices. to
enable the farmers to borrow money,
at reasonable rates of interest on their
livestock and other products In this
movement, the farmers have the sup
port and cooperation of as good
business as Secretary Hoover. of the
Department OF Commerce.
The third effort now being made
by the farm bloc is to have a farmer
on the Federal Reserve Board. In
this, as in some other past efforts,
the farmers in the beginning went to
extreme. But in this case rs In tho
pest. they have showed spirit of
compromise. II is likely
that this amendment will not single
