preIne court today held that section
of the future trading act was men-
forcble. 1t held that sections a. . and
other sections could be enforced The

Taft.
The law was recently enacted by con-
Sress. Among it's other provisions it
extended to farmers cooperative asso-
Citations privileges intended to promote
their market facilities. including menu
bership upon grain exchanges which
became contract markets. 1t imposed
a prOhibitivc tax upon contracts for

appealed to the supreme court Which
suspended operation of the law so far
