HOusE " DARES" THE
SUPREME COURT TO
KILL DISTRICT RENT BILL

ton of this body is an ascertainmeni
of a fact, even though We err on the
side of truth, and that the only
ground that the Supreme Court has
as to the oyerthrowing of a fact re-
garding the emergency by the Ma
tional Congress would be on the bona
fide submission of evidence of fraud
or some wrongdoing on the part OF
the legislature coming 10 that decision
on the findings of fact as to the
emergency.
Now, when the Supreme Court, in
the case of Block v. Hirsh (256 U. s.,
p. 1851 held the rent act of October
%, 1919, constitutional and valid II
necessarily decided that when the
same or similar conditions exist, either
of a temporary or permanent nature,
the Congress has the constitutional
right to pass that kind of n law.
Certainly nobody will maintain that
the Supreme Court has a right TO
challenge the finding of the Congress
on any fact.
IF the Congress should fail to in
corporate in this bill the statement
that there was an emergency here
growing out of the war, ! would con-
cede the argument Immediately, but If
we incorporate in this legislation that
statement, that a national emergency
in housing in the District does exist
as result OF the war, | will prophesy
that the Supreme Court will never IN
quire into the finding of the fact"

CARNIVAL PROVES
DRAWING CARD
SAYS COMMITTEE

The Building Trades Council who
promoted the Refs Shows last week
reports that the show was success
in spite Of the weather.
Crowds were attracted by the var
ious features and apparently were
well satisfied that they received their
moneys worth. Ii is safe 20 predict,
according to the members Of the COM
mittee. that the show will be an an
nual attraction in this city as long a
il sustains the reputation il has made
here the last two seasons.
J. {. Smith worked indefatigably TO
make the show a success, and succeed
ed phenomenally in his work as a
committeeman. His efforts were
largely responsible for the success
which aeerues to the Building Trades
Council.
The show will in all probability ap-
pear here next season, and in case IT
does under the auspices of the Build
ing Trades Council or some other or
ganization of the Federation of La
bor, plans will be laid for the enlist
ment of more helpers. The few who
worked necessarily this season felt
that they should have had the Co
operation of more members of the
Twin City Federation of Labor.
The show is exhibiting in Taylor
vile this week, strong Labor center
that is sure to be attracted by the per
formances which the company puts on.

NORRIS BILL FOR

The senate Agriculture committee
placed its OK. on the Muscle Shoals
offer of Henry Ford last Monday.
This means that the president may
consent and that Muscle Shoals will

president will sign the measure IN

parties--hoth those who favor the bill
and those who look with disapproval
upon IL.
The bill means that Ford will have
supervision OF Muscle shoals for the
remainder of his life and that his
company will bs In charge for W
years.
The emphatic way In which the
measure was accepted by the senate
committee indicates the attitude of
congress as favorable. II Ia said to

vides for 4 reduction Of income tax,
is now in effect. Ii provides Tor a

tax shown 10 be due on income tax
returns filed BY individuals for the
year 1928. II you have paid three
fourths Of the amount Of tax due ON
your return. no further paymen, will
be due. Ii AT the time you filed your
return you paid at least one-half Of
the tax, no further payment will be
due until September 10th. IL at the
time you filed your return you paid
only ene-fourth of the tax due, YOU
must pay on or before June 10, not
less than one-half the amount YOU
paid when you filed your return. The
main point To remember is that at
least one-half of the amount Of tax
due from you this year must be paid
on or before June 10Th.
For the information of those per
sons who paid their income tax this
year in full, at the time Of filing their
return, they are advised that the In
ternal Revenue Bureau will doubtless
take early action toward providing a
proper adjustment of such cases.
The purpose of this article is to in

amount of tax they should remit to
the Collectors office ON or before
June 18th in the event they are tax

The plan may be stated in more
simple way as follows: Subtract 25Fc
of the tax as originally figured. from
such original tax. and see to il that
at least one-half of the remainder has
been paid on or before June 10Th.

Congress getting tired Of Supreme
TanTt interference with laws adopted
~ the national legislative body?
That the House of Representatives,
At least, is losing patience with su,
preme Court usurpation is Indicated
by its action on the bill to establlsh
a commission to regulate rents In the
District of Columbia.
The House took the view expressed
bv Representative Begg of Ono
nat if Congress declared an emerg-
enev still existed in the housing Situa-
ion in Washington, legislation deal
ing with the situation would not be
eyerridden by the Supreme Court.
The bill establishing the rent commits
ion. with an amendment declaring
that a housing emergency existed, was
passed by large majority.
Mr.. Begg told the House that the
supreme Court would not challenge
the finding of Congress on any fact
and that a law establishing reguia-
lion of rents on the ground that an
emergency existed, would not be IN
danger of being killed by the highest
court in the land. He said:
The Supreme Court has held re-
peatedly that a legislature in a State
has a right to determine and ascer-
tain, and that the statement by the
legislature that an emergency does
exist is bona fide, and they have SO
held repeatedly in cases to which L

FOREST PRESERVE
PROMOTED BY
TWIN CITIES

A meeting of a committee on forest
preserves was held at the Champaign
club Tuesday evening. The committee
was composed of the park boards OF
Champaign and Urbana, the PARK
committees of the Chamber of Com
merce and the Association of Com
merce, the board of directors Of the
Chamber of Commerce and citizens
who are interested in the plan.
At the close of the meeting an or
ganization composed of fifteen men
was perfected. This body is to have
charge of the plans. -.
The prospect of the Twin Cities
getting together in the promotion OF
a project of this magnitude is a pre-
monition of a more intimate affilla-
ton in the future.
The plan is to make the forest pre-
serve a Champaign county project,
which will probably result in the en-
hstment of the county board Of super
yisors. A special tax of ! mill on the
dollar was suggested at the meeting'

Robert LaFollette will depend upon
farmers to vote for him in case he
decides to run for president on an
independent ticket. according to press
reports early this week.
There is ample opportunity for a
candidate to reach the farmer vote,
owing to their disturbed condition re-
sulting from a panic Of nearly four
years.
II is a foregone conclusion, so
politicians affirm. that LaFollette
could not land the Republican nomina-
tion; but there is nothing to prevent
his splitting the Republican vote and
electing a Democratic president, as
was the case when Roosevelt started
the Bull Moose party.
LaFollette has the east to account
for, which will surely defeat him, but
he will be able to command enough
votes in the wheat and corn belts to
make it difficult for President Cool
idge to be elected.
The Democratic party is well salts
| fed to have the Wisconsin senator TO
run on an independent ticket. This
will 90 far toward crystalizing the
Democratic vote for whatever candl-
date the party may launch.
Two young men in Chicago have
confessed to an atrocious crime-that
of numbering a fellow youth. The
tragic aspect of the crime is that 4
was done, according to the confession,
purely for the spirit of adventure.
A trial will be held and the young
men will make a fight for freedom.
Millions are involved and the oppor-

effect of the confession gained through
police inquisition is to be determ-
ined in the clash of attorneys during
the trial. 1t will be a notable event
