To TAKE
RFC RAIL LOANS

Private finance is prepared to
take over at least part Of the bur.
den of railroad loans which here
tofore have come mainly from the
Government, through the RFC,
Chairman Jesse Jones disclosed
yesterday.
Mr.. Jones said at a press con-
ference that a number of offers
have been received to take over
|RFC loans of this class. No de-
cisions have been reached as to
sales, but it has been determined,
according to Mr.. Jones, that the
sales are legally feasible.
The carrier loans now total
1857 100000, Mr.. Jones declared,
adding:
CAN but a few Of them are
very good. There is about SITS
Of collateral for each 500 Of
loans"
Mr.. Jones made the disclosure
in illustrating his belief that RFC
will have adequate funds to meet
all demands between now and
June 80, despite the plan to tap
its resources for $500, 100000 to
finance relief through FERA until

COTTON PARES
EARLY GAINS

NEW YORK, Feb. 5 O.N.SD.
Cotton futures again lapsed into
lethargic trading today after q
momentary furry of buying at the
opening had carried prices as
much as 40 cents bale above the
previous close, the run of con.
tracts in late forenoon dealings
showing gains of only a point or
/ so.
Liverpool and trade buying,
moderately heavy on the call,
petered out later and was barely
able to absorb light offerings from
mission houses and the South.
Spot firms made occasional sales,
while Wall Street was on the buy.
ing side during the first half hour.
The better trend in cotton fu-
lures since the start Of the current
week is attributed to reports Of
a better inquiry for actual staple,
particularly from abroad. The
basis for spot cotton continues
high, sales being reported i'm.
proved during the past few weeks.
Mills, however, are still restrict
ing purchases to a day-to-day
basis.
A protracted dry spell in the
southwestern part of the belt over
the past month or so is coming
in for considerable discussion, and
some interests are fearful of a
repetition of last years drought.
There has been no moisture Of
any Importance in this area since
last November. Reports from the
South state that planting has been
resumed again in Southern Texas.
Weather over the belt today was
clear in the Western area, cloudy
in the Central and clear along
the Atlantic Coast. Traces Of
rain were reported at Knoxville
and AShville.
AS the market passed the noon
hour today, futures showed gains
of / to 3 points. March was up 3
at 1928, May up at 1894, July
up 3 at 1924, October up 2 at
1924, December up 8 at 1882, and

Weakness in these groups COM

TAX
ENJO|NED BY
u. 5. JUDGE

NEW YORK, Aug. 6 HN.SO.
''It is said that Congress Is about
to pass a law, and that the
President will approve 1t, where
under the doors of the courts Of
Justice will be closed to those
whose money and property un.
lawfully have been taken. With
humiliation it must be confessed
that there is a basis for this ap-
prehensiOn."
In this blunt language, Federal
District Judge Merrill E. Otis ex-
plains his action-almost unprece-
dented in that it enjoins collection
of a Federal tax-in granting a
temporary injunction to the Wash
burn Crosby Company, in a suit
brought in Kansas City, Mo-, re-
straining the Government from
collecting AAA processing taxes
from the firm, copy of the deci-
sion made public here today dis
closed.
In the opening paragraph, Judge
Otis explained the courts have
long recognized three firm princi-
pies: Cd That every statute en-
acted by Congress and approved
by the President is presumed to
be constitutional 90 That the
courts will not declare a statute
unconstitutional unless its in
validity under the Constitution is
established beyond reasonable
doubt. 90 That the courts will
not enjoin the collection of any
tax provided for by statute, al
though it is unconstitutional, If
the taxpayer, having paid the tax,
has the right to sue in a court Of
law to recover it from the Govern
ment.
The opinion raises the question
Of the constitutionality of the pro-
cessing tax law and continues with
the statement that in the present
state of the law the complainant
(payer of the processing taxi can
sue to recover his taxes if the tax
statute should be found unconsti'
tutional.
