I. y. A. ATTACKED
AS REVOLUTIONARY
Supreme Court Brief Hits
Legislation as Fathering
Economic UpheavaI.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
The Tennessee Valley Authority act
was assailed as unconstitutional and
Revolutionary" in brief filed with
the Supreme Court today by James M.
Beck, former solicitor general and
prominent member of the American
Liberty League.
Beck, representing group of Ala
bama Power Co. stockholders, con-
tended that If the legislation were up
held it would change the form of the
Federal Government and the social
organization of the American people"
Arguments December 10.
His brief was filed in preparation for
arguments December 19 on validity of
the legislation which was upheld by
the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals
ut New Orleans when challenged by
the stockholders group.
The brief was presented three days
after the December deadline set for
its presentation by the high court. 1t
was indicated at T. v. A. headquarters,
however, that no protest would be
made The Government must file its
brief by December Is.
The case involves the right Of the
Federal Government to sell surplus
electric power generated at its Ala
bama dams and to acquire transmits
sion lines to carry it to nearby cities
for use by municipalities in competi-
tion with privately owned utility COM
panieS.
Cause Held Revolutionary.
The brief, prepared by Beck and
Forney Johnston, Alabama attorney,
asserted:
The permanent conduct of series
OF cooperative enterprises covering
the basic requirements and activities
OF the people by means of Federal
property, inextinguishably subsidized
by taxation and supported by Federal
borrowing and deficits, would at one
stroke accomplish an economic revo-
luton and annul the theory of the
Constitution"
This cause is revolutionary in its
Importance, the brief added. 1T pre-
sents the effort of the Government,
through board of three men, subject
to none of the traditional checks,
standards or restraints, to establish
the Government permanently in abso-
lutte control of the power of vast
region"

where released in their personal recog-
nizance pending the posting by each
of 5000 bonds. The maximum SEN
tence, under the law, is two and a
half years in the house of correction.
A police arms expert testified at the
district court trial of the pair, class
mates at the Massachusetts, Institute
of Technology, that the air pistols the
police said they took from the youths
were powerful enough to kill q person
ikdischarged at the temple or the eye.
He said the weapons were dangerous
at so yards. and that one Of them had
fired a pellet that penetrated three
sixteenths of an inch into pine board
at so feet. The other had penetrated
sixteenth of an inch, he said.

Conlin told how he appeared with
McCarter at the Treasury on August
9, 1884, and had a long conference
with Secretary Morgenthau, during
which Morgeuthau instructed Elmer
Trey, chief of the intelligence unit of
the Internal Revenue Bureau to con-

Elhill's activities in the McCarter tax
case.
The prosecution is being conducted

McCarter Tells of Deal.
McCarter. heralded as the Govern
ment's star witness, provided little
fireworks for the spectators when he
took the stand at yesterdays session.
Describing himself, in response to
questions, as president or director of
80 or 40 corporations, McCarter gave
his chief occupation as president of
the New Jersey Public Service Cor
poration, which he said is a holding
company.
McCarter said he first met McElhill
IN July, 1884, when the tax consultant
came to the Newark Office of the util-
tiles man in response to a telephone
appointment.
I'VE discussed my 1882 tax return"
the witness said, land McElhill said
he thought he could be of some help
to me in getting the matter facilitated
at the Treasury. pointed out had
an attorney, but McElhill said he be-
lieved, nevertheless, he could be of
aid to me in the pending tax claim.
He thought he could expedite the
matter.
Conversation Recorded.
"A dictaphone was in my office dur
ing this conference and Federal agents
heard all that took place. Sometime
later I saw McElhill again, but first I
had called up the Secretary of the
Treasury and made an appointment
to see Mr.. Morgenthau.
II came to Washington and saw Mr..
Morgenthau and told him about Nc
Elhill's proposition. Acting under di-
rections given me by the Treasury peo-
pie, told McElhill If he could pro-
duce a settlement of this tax matter
would pay him $4,000. He said he
could do it. I said I would give him
until the day after Labor day to do it.
Later he wrote a letter, putting

Small Gold Pieces Once
Produced in California

California gold coins were not is
sued by the government, but by pri.
vate companies or individuals con
nected with the gold mining interests
of that state. They were issuel IL
denominations of Quarter-dollar, half
dollar and dollar. both round and oc-
tagon. While not considered legal
coinage or legal tender, they were
issued at time when there was a
pressing need for money with which
to transact the business Of the coun-
try.
The order for the coinage was given
on July 81, 184S, by Governor Mason,
the military governor of Monterey,
then more important city than San
Francisco. However, the governor,
discovering a short time later that
his act was of doubtful legality, re-
voked the order. But the issuing Of
private coins had already commenced,
and some are found to bear dates as
late as 1884. A catalogue compiled

Humidity Makes
Grain Moisture
Heat Not Alone Responsible
for Content of Crops,
Government Says.

Supplied by the United states Department
Of Agricuture.-WNU Service.
It's not so much the temperature of
air as it is the humidity which gov
ems the change in moisture content
of grain in storage on farms and of
grain on the standing stalk.
Under controlled air conditions In
the Arlington (va.) laboratory, engi.
neers of the bureau made tests of
samples. in bulk and in fiat pans, Of
cereal grain, flax seed, soy beans and
seed cotton. They also tested chopped
hay.
They found that relative humidity of
the atmosphere in which the moisture
content of individual samples reached
a point sufficiently low for safe stor
age varied somewhat with the different
kinds of commodities but ranged from
approximately g. to so per cent. Cereal
grain, when exposed to air at rel
alive humidity of rs per cent, absorbed
or gave off moisture until the final
moisture content was approximately
the maximum recommended for safe
storage. At relative humidity of IS
per cent the moisture content of the
grain was lower and a relative humid
ity of IS per cent higher than that
recommended for safe storage.
A moisture content of IA per cent
for cereal grain, 16 per cent for soy
beans, and II per cent for fax seed
is usually low enough for safe storage
under ordinary storage conditions.
The rate of change In moisture con-
tent Of the samples at any given
humidity and temperature depended
largely upon the degree of exposure.
When the commodities were exposed
in such manner that each kernel or
particle was In contact with moving
air, the moisture content increased or
decreased In some cases as much as 2
per cent in few hours; when ex-
posed in bulk. in layers only inches
thick. it took from five to seven days
for similar change to occur.
Variations in temperatures from ~
to rs degrees F. at constant hui
Nudity had little effect on the moisture
content Of the commodities Consid-
cradle variation in moisture content
Of individual commodities existed es-
pecially at 85 per cent relative humid
ity, ranging from slightly more than Ii
per cent for flax to about 80 per cent
for hay. AS the relative humidities
increased from IS per cent on, many
Of the commodities showed practical.
ly the same change In moisture con-
tent. This condition was particularly
true of wheat, corn, sorghum, rice. oats
and cotton.
In the case of soy beans, at relative
humidity of IS per cent the moisture
content was lower than that of any
of the other commodities, except flax
seed. Stepping up relative humidity
to Is and to IS per cent Increased
the moisture content of soy beans sim.
liar to that of hay. When the two
oil-bearing seeds, soy beans and fax
seed were exposed to high humidities.
much greater percentage of moisture
was absorbed by the beans which con.
tain a higher percentage of oil.

Summer Alfalfa Seeding
Found To Re Succassfl1

Alfalfa, most useful legume crop,
can be seeded successfully in summer
months If care is taken In preparing
the seeded and putting In the seed,
says a writer In the Prairie Farmer
The ground should be plowed at leas:
month before seeding and should
be disked several times to kill weeds.
The soil should be firm under the
seed, and the seed should be covered
shallow and uniformly. Use about 10
TO IL pounds of good, hardy seed per
acre. Do not seed with a nurse crop.
Fields to be seeded to alfalfa should
be tested for soil acidity, and II need
ed. ground limestone should be ap
piled well In advance of seeding. A
good method Of seeding Is to cult
vate the soil, SOW the seed broadcast
and cover with weeder or light har-
row. Even though the summer-seeded
alfalfa makes good growth in the
fall, It Is not advisable to cut or pas
ture the crop the first fall.

Train Colts Early

The training Of a colt should begin
at an early age. Foals that are han.
died and halter-broken when young
take the presence Of man as q matter
Of course and are easily approached In
the pasture and stall. In fact, accord.
ing to the Missouri Farmer, horsemen
who do not handle their colts until
they are three years old marvel at the
gentleness Of colts that have received
thorough early training. The first les
son may consist of fitting a leather
halter on the foal. The next day tie
the colt up In the same stall with its
mother for about half an hour. Watch
1t to see that It does not become tan.
gled in the halter rope or injure itself
In any way. Repeat this lesson until
the colt stands quietly; then It is
ready for leading.
