PA. STATE CODE
UPHELD BY COURT
Dauphin JuTists Sustain ConstI-
tutionaIity Of Act.
SNYDER WILL APPEAL
Not Entirely Clear Of Doubt, However,
Rules One Judge, Paving Way For
supersedeas.

Supersedeas.
Harrisburg, Pa. - Judges Of me
Dauphin county court sustained the
constitutionality OF the administrative
code, the basic reorganization act Of
the Pinchot governmental program.
In the chief Of the four opinions
fled, however, it was held there were
matters not clear from doubt and that
IN event Of appeals being taken, Z
supersedeas would be granted.
An appeal will be taken and q
supersedeas asked for" said former
Lieutenant Governor Beidelman, OF
counsel for State Treasurer Charles
A. Snyder, who filed the suit.
When information to this effect was
communicated to Attorney General
Woodruff and he was asked what the
administration would do, he intimated
there would be opposition to the sup
ersedeas, although it would be deter
mined later. He declined to comment
upon the ruling of the court on the
act Of 1915
Decisions were given In the whole
four actions, the chief opinion being
In the mandamus brought by the attor-
ney general to force the treasurer to
pay salaries of the four bureaus whose
legality he challenged because they
were created by the code.
1t is held the treasurer must pay
as the code is constitutional, but at
the same time the three Dauphin
judges, all experienced in state gov
ernmental affairs prior to going to the
bench, say:
I'VE are not satisfied that, generally
speaking, the act contains more than
one subject. The question is not free
from doubt, but that doubt we must
resolve in favor of the statute.
Confirming, however, the attack
upon the constitutionality of the stat
ute, to so much of it as is directly
involved in the acquisitions which are
made the basis Of the proceeding in
this case, we find no unconstitutional
ity provisions"
In addition to unfolding legality Of
the act, the court determines several
other matters. The state treasurer Ii
held not to be stopped from bringing
suit or questioning an act because the
governor or attorney general hold it
is legal, or because the attorney gen.
eral gives advice based on belief the
act is constitutional.
The title is found free from uncon-
stitutional features. Creation Of ad-
ministrative boards does not bring into
being a fourth branch Of the govern
ment in contravention of the organic
law The remedy in the attack on
the department of property and sup
plies is not in equity court but in quo
warranto proceedings.
Effect Of the decisions, it was gen.
orally held about the capitol, would
be to leave the whole series OF Ques-
tions in doubt until the supreme court
can be given the case, assuming Mr..
Snyder will carry out his announced
intention of going to the highest
court.
But at the same time there Is a
series Of findings on questions which
have agitated Capitol Hill for more
than half year, which has pleased
the state administration.

JANE FORT CELEBRATES
BIRTHDAY WITH Fec HINT

Yesterday afternoon at her home
on Brannen avenue, Jane Fort, the
attractive little daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Allen Fort was charm
ing hostess at an Easter egg hunt,
celebrating her fourth birthday.
Bright colored eggs were hidden
on the lawn, which afforded the
guests much pleasure in hunting
them.
The young hostess was the recip-
lent of many attractive gifts. She
was assisted in entertaining her
guests by her mother, her aunt, Miss
Leila Margaret Hanna and Miss
Susie Taylor
Later in the afternoon the guests
were invited into the dining room,
where the color scheme of pink and
green was effectively carried out. In
the center of the dining table was a
lovely birthday cake, embossed with
dainty pink rosebuds and lighted
with four pink candles, designating
the age of the young hostess. En-
circling this were candiesticks hold
ing pink unshaded tapers, and alter
mating with green nests of tiny eggs
and Easter chicks. Favors for each
little boy and girl were Easter bas-
kets, containing eggs and an Easter
chick. Delicious ice cream and cake
were served. About thirty children
were invited.

TO SELL CAR OF CHICKENS

IRWINT0N, March 27.-H. A.
C1iett, demonstration agent for Viii
kinson county, is arranging to sell a
carload of chickens from Mcintyre on
Wednesday, March %. Mr.. Cliett
has obtained guarantees of the high
est market price for these chickens
and will have buyers from other mar
kets present. He has advertised the
sale considerably and there has been
q marked increase in prices offered
by local buyers who are finding their
low prices interfered with the higher
prices offered for a carload. 1t is
expected that the poultry business
will get quite a boost from these
sales and that considerable income
will soon be obtained by the farmers
of the county, as an enormous num-
ber are contemplating putting in pure
bred stock.

FLOODS HALT TRAFFIC IN
WYOMING.

All railroad and highway traffic
from Casper Wyo., to points west was
reported at a standstili yesterday, as
the result Of bridge and track wash
cuts, and the indications are that nor
nal conditions will not be restored on
highways for three days, while one
railroad at least will require three
weeks to put its tracks in repair. The
Yellowstone highway to the National
park will not be passable at Bonnie
vile for three days, it is said, while
the Birdseye pass road has also been
closed by a washout at Teapot, on
lie eastern side.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad sustained the greatest dam
age to its lines in this section in the
history Of the company, from two
cloudbursts a few hours apart west Of
Arminto, where bridges and several
miles of track were washed out.

The MINNESOTA
ELECTION

The election of Magnus johnson as
United States senator from Minnesota
is not surprising. The farmers of
Minnesota are generally bankrupt,
and the pressure of postwar DELLA
ton and the high cost of living rests
so heavily upon them that they are
having a bitter struggle to survive.
So their dissatisfaction with condi-
tons naturally is desperate. The
vote for Johnson, who admittedly is a
good deal of a freak, is a reckless
protest against the combination of
circumstances that today makes the
farmers of the United States the in
dustrial goat
The Democrats may pretend this is
a blow to the Republican party. But
if the Minnesota farmers were dis
satisfied with Preus, the Republican
candidate, it was as much personal as
party dissatisfaction, and even ad-
hitting that they are temporarily
sore at the Republican organization
their contempt for the Democratic
party is shown by the pitiful vote
they gave it's candidate, Carley.
The Democratic party has been in
the habit of coming forward wher
dissatisfaction with its great rivaI
has arisen, and telling the world that
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1923-07-25

it was the savior Of the people. But
that has played out with the Mime
sofa farmers, as it has largely with
the country for the eight year
America suffered under Woodrow
Wilson, when the war p~rofiteers stole
the United States blind, are too fresh
in memory.
Preus beat Johnson for governor,
but a good deal of water has gone
over the wheel since then, and the
Minnesota Republicans were weary of
the reactionary proclivities of Preus.
He tried to take refuge under the
coat of President Harding, who is a
totally different sort of political ele-
ment, but, like the pardon, that came
too late.
That Magnus Johnson will add
much to the senate is not even
claimed by his friends. He will be
merely a laundering demand for a
squarer deal for the farmers of the
country, a foghorn emitting warning
signals. He is said to be the loudest
talker in the United States, so he will
make the roof of the capitol rattle,
and enable the deaf members of the
senate to lay aside their auditory de-
vices.
If his election hit the Republican
party. it kicked the Democratic party
clear off the map.-Montana Record
Herald.

there is another device of bOSsism that must
