FARM MEASURES
SCOPE IS IN DOUBT
Cooperative Marketing Law
/ Seems Sure to Have Cool
idge Backing Again.
" the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Whether the administration will
submit any new farm relief proposals
at the coming session of Congress.
on. merely will stand on its recon-
mendations of the past, has become a
much debated question.
1t generally is agreed that the CO.
operative marketing legislation advo-
Gated unsuccessfully last Winter by
the President agricultural confer
ence will again be indorsed by the
White House, and ma jority leaders
in Congress believe that in one form
or another il can be passed. But
the outlook for q farm legislative
program of more general character
is dubious.
Opposed by Jardine.
Early last month it was announced
at the Summer White House at
SwamDscott that President Coolidge
would reassemble the agricultural
conference to draft such general
farm program. Secretary Jardlne.
however, does not favor that course,
and in addition the President has
heard advice of varying character
from many outside sources.
As a result, it is the bellef or some
high officials that if the agricultural
conference meets at all this Fan, IT
merely will be to draw up hnal
report on the Investigations already
made and to reinforce the recon-
mendations already submitted.
It's the belief of Secretary Jardine
that the period of agricultural emer-
gency is passing. He favors leGisla-
tion to foster cooperative marketing,
but aside from that he feels that agri-
culture can work out its own prob
lens and will be the better off for II.
Coolidge in Doubt.
That President Coolidge himself
has grown more doubtful over the
wisdom OF reasSembling his confer
ence OF experts was indicated when
lust before he left SwampScott, White
House officials said Il final decision
on the point would be reached only
after consulting Mr.. Jardine. Now
the President appears to have left the
matter almost entirely up to the
Agriculture Secretary and Robert Il.
Carey of Wyoming, chairman of the
conference.
No preparations are being made at
the Agricultural Department for a
meeting of the conference, of which
Mr.. Jardine himself is a member. In
Evening star., 1925-09-17

stead, the Secretary is preparing per-
sonally to discuss the problem with
representatives of various farm organ
iZations whom he plans to call to
Washington some time this FAN.
President Coolidge plans to address
the convention of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, to be held In Chi
cago December Z to 9. He informed
o. f. Bradfute. president of the fed
GRAFTON. today in reply to an invitation
that he expected to accept.
Representatives of agriculture from
practically all parts of the country
will be in, attendance, giving the Presi-
dent opportunity to explain in detail
his views on the farming situation.

 "The defendant was adjudged guilty as to both charges and prose cuted the present writ of error.
 Must Mark Mouth.
 "The Court below was of the opinion that the amendment of 1923 providing that the mouth of a stream shall be taken to be the point determined as such by the Secretary of Commerce, and marked in accordance with his determination, made no change in the then exist ing law, unless and until the Secre- tary of Commerce saw fit to exercise the authority conferred. In other words, that the question whether the law has been changed or not depends not upon the law itself but upon the action or inaction of the Secretary of Commerce. With this construc- tion of the mandatory act we are unable to agree"
 Further on the Appellate Court said: "The mouth of a stream can- not be fixed with mathematical pre- cision, and the uncertainty of the situation demonstrates the necessity for some fixed rule on the subject. Congress might itself define the mouth of stream or it might dele gate that authority to the Secre- tary of Commerce, or some other of ficer It chose the latter course here and the determination of the Secre- tary of Commerce, when made, has the force and effect of law, at least in the absence of fraud or gross error upon which fraud might be i'm piled. The record in this case shows the difficulties encountered in the admins tration of the old law and the injustice that might arise from such administration"
 After reciting facts in connection with the case, the court continued, But, in any event, the place where the mouth of the stream shall be To- cated rests in the discretion of the Secretary of Commerce, and the loca- tion of the mouth of the stream by the Secretary is indispensable to give certainty and precision to the statute. Until that has been done, the initial point from which to meas ure it would, of course, be impossible to determine the boundaries of the prohibited area.
