HOUSE ACTS ON

FARM BILL
Alexander Legge Wants Rule
On Grain Exchanges; Raps
Variable Trading Methods

Acting with remarkable alacrity,
the House today passed and sent
to the Senate a bill appropriating
$150, ,000, 900 for the further opera
tions of the Federal Farm Board.
The appropriation was re.
uuested in President Hoover's an
nual message to Congress.
At the same time, it was re-
vealed that in the hearings before
the House Agriculture Committee
Chairman Alexander Legge made
demand for further government
tai regulation Of grain exchanges
He said:
eve think there should be an
amendment to the regulations
Of Congress governing the ex.
changes dealing in agricultural
commodities Of any kind, to the
{ end that exchanges would not
be permitted to make their own
Rules and regulations except IS
they were approved by the Gov
eminent for that purpose; and
that the Secretary Of AgricuI-
ture be given definite authOrity
to enforce the rules after they
have been approved" }"
Can Change at VIII
''ThOse exchange rules and
regulations are all built up by
the traders themselves. They
are not in the interest Of either
the producers or consumers. The
traders can change them every
day ut their win.
"Under present legislation,
there is not anybody can find
that has any authority to effec--
lively deal with such exchanges.
"FOr instance, we have been
talking about those people who
are selling short on wheat today
and they are relying largely on
going before a tribunal in the
grain exchange for an adjudica-
ton in the event it turns out to
be q bad move on their part.

The preponderant opinion in
Washington is that the United

verse the decision Of Federal
Judge william T. Clark and .sus-
tain the validity Of the Eight
eenth Amendment.
Nevertheless, most Of the Con-
stitutiOnaI authorities who have
closely studied the text of the
Jersey jurist's decision admit that
he has put the matter before the
high court in an entirely new
light, and, wet or dry, they spoke
respectfully today of Judge Clark's
reasoning and logic.
Appeal Is Speeded
Meanwhile, the Governments
appeal will be speeded in order
that the period Of uncertainty
may be shortened and agitation
against the law lessened. Within
the next few weeks, the Depart
ment Of Justice will ask the court
to set the case for argument out
Of the regular order. A decision
before, the present term expires
in June is hoped for.
