RULING HELD AID

BALTIMORE. August 25.-The
rulings by Deputy Attorney General
Hilary w. Cans that goods made in
Maryland prisons may be sold to State
or municipal institutions gave i'm
petus yesterday to efforts to wipe out
idleness at State prisons.
Harry Mertz, State purchasing
agent, said the ruling would facih-
tate the launching soon of a State
production. State-purchase program
that has been under consideration for
some time.
Mertz said that just what products
the prisoners might be employed in
making and other details would have
to be worked out. He explained that
the prison-made goods probably would
have to be purchased for State use
on a basis of competitive bidding
against merchandise turned out by
free labor.
Because of the Hawes- es-Cooper act
barring prison-made products from
interstate commerce, Maryland is
using prison labor at the present only
for printing and the manufacturing
of shoes on a limited scale.
The understanding had been that
the Hawes- Cooper act prevented any
more extensive operations. but Deputy
Attorney General Cans held that.
despite this law. prison products not
only could be sold to State and mu-
nicipal institutions. but on the open
market as well, provided they are
marketed On a fair competitive basis
with outside industry.
A restriction imposed under the
State law, Cans pointed out, is that
perishable produce raised by prisoners
cannot be sold to any except State
aided institutions or canneries.

APPEAL COURT SAYS
FOUR BILLION RELIEF ACT
is INVALID

WASHINGTON, May 18.-The 1885 re-
lief act was held unconstitutional today by
the District of Columbia court of appeals.
In sweeping opinion three of the five
judges said the $48OO,OOO,OOO law was
void because of improper delegation of
powers to the president, invasion of states
rights, and lack of definite authorize
ton.
The court said the law attempts to
reach and control matters over which the
constitution has given congress no DOW
ers"
After reviewing provisions of the 1895
relief act which appropriated $4,8OO,OOO,
OOO and the executive orders of President
Roosevelt which set up the resettlement
agency, Justice Van Orsdel said:
''This is delegation running riot.''
In test case which resulted from plans
for model community at Franklin in
Somerset county, New Jersey, the appellate
court ruled there was no constitutional
power conferred upon the federal govern
ment to regulate housing or to resettle'
population"
The appellate court reversed the ruling
OF the District of Columbia supreme court
which had upheld the validity of the re-
settlement program and denied an iniunc-
ton against the New Jersey project SOUGHT
by group of taxpayers.

GUFFEY COAL ACT INVALID.
SAYS SUPREME COURT

WASHINGTON, May 18.-Divided six
to three, the supreme court struck down
the Guffey coal act today on the same
ground on which it invalidated NRA-an
unconstitutional invasion of state powers.
The majority through Justice Suther-
land, held the federal government was
without power to regulate hours and wages
in the mining industry as well as in the
manufacturing industry.
The dissenters were Justices Brandies,
Stone and Cardozo.
The court did not rule on the constitu-
tiOnality of the price fixing provision of
the law to regulate the bituminous coal
industry, but said these were so related to
the labor provisions that the fall of the
latter carried the price fixing section down
too.
In failing to rule on the price fixing pro-
visions, the majority opinion warned that
nothing the court said was to be taken as
an indication that it would uphold them.

sary relief without the necessity of
raising funds. The suggestion was
acceptable to the governor but
when presented to the public such
a wall of protest went up from the
middlemen who saw their profits
eliminated, that sufficient opposi-
ton was developed to defeat the
proposal. A counter proposal was
then made that the state issue
bonds to the extent of some mil
lions of dollars, and the middle
men and interest sharks like the
"saps" they usually are, swallow
ed it whole.
To illustrate the silly reasoning
Of the middlemen, they thought
they saw their profits vanishing
under the first proposal yet under
the second proposal they accepted
burden of debt to the extent of
millions, the debt draws interest
which interest will feed no hun
CRY people and increases the sum
of debt which must finally be paid
and the middlemen who thought to
benefit and retain their profits by
the deal are the ones who must
eventually PAY that debt unless
in the final accounting the debt to-
gether with all other public debt
is cancelled or repudiated as will
ultimately happen.
And yet the general public re-
gard our financiers and wealthy
middle class public as "safe, sane,
clear thinking conservative peo-
ple." Just take it as a friendly
statement of fact from one who
has had ample opportunity to OBJ
serve them and their methods of
reasoning, that the general pub
lie has them sized up wrong. They
are nothing but bunch of "saps".
So long as the general public re-
tains that impression that this
class has a monopoly on all the in
telligence, just that long will the
6ublic be deluded and the great
game of Pooling The Public may
be practiced by politicians with
impunity.
