Norris Is Very Happy
~ 4 AANANG Il
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. IS. - Sen.
George w. Norris ate his lunch in
the Senate lunchroom while the Su-
preme Court read its IVA decisions.
He knew the long waited moment
mad come but he made no effort to
get into the marble palace where
the court sits. Eighteen years work
on his part was in the balance, but
the same patience which sustained
him through that long ordeal en-
abled him to sit with unruff1ed brow
and talk of other things with two
friends, Senators johnson and La
Toilette.
He lighted cigar.
Then two excited men broke
through the swinging doors of the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Rankin
and Starnes, both ardent IVA sup
porters. They had just come from
the court.
Norris Smiles
"It's all right" they said, rushing
toward Senator Norris.
His face broke into smile q
pure happiness.
But he bore his triumph as calmly
as he had borne the years of defeat.
He said little except that he was
very happy" and that he never
had been able to see how the court
could find that law unconstitutional.
II would have been heartbroken
if the decision had gone the other
way" he said.
At the close of the World War,
Mr.. Norris began saying that the
government must go on developing
Muscle Shoals and utilizing the
power generated there as we'll as it's
other assets. Every known kind of
pressure was brought to stop his
Muscle Shoals bill, but finally it be-
came evident that he had a majority
of the Senate and House with him.
Filibusters were used to thwart him.
He fought on, sitting through all
night sessions until he was near ex-
haustion. And twice he won, in
Congress, only to see the bills We
toed successfully by Coolidge and
Hoover.
They Were Hard to Take
AS it turned out, these reversals
only paved the way for greater tri-
umph at the end, but they were
hard to take when they came.
In the moment of his success Sen
ator Norris had no bitter words for
the men who have called him a So
cialist. a Communist and a danger
Gus radical for sponsoring IVA. He
was calm in the sense of his own
integrity while it was going on; he
was equally calm when the Supreme
Court exonerated his project of any
such stigma.
He has not changed his mind
about the Supreme Court. He still
thinks the court should be denied
power to overthrow acts of Congress
except by unanimous vote.

PROLONGED COLD weather IS
EXPENSIVE TO CITY, COUNTRY
RESIDENTS, SURVEYS REVEAL
Shortage of Seed Corn
Looms in State,
Tests Show.

The possibility that Indiana
farmers may be faced with a short
age of live seed corn was voiced to-
day by Horace E. Abbott, county ag-
ricultural agent.
The second of a series of tests
made by the Purdue University Ex-
tension Department shows that
practically all corn stored by indi-
vidual farmers has been killed by
the prolonged cold spell, he said.
This is due largely to the late
planting of corn last spring. which
made the crop late in maturing.
Normally, this would not have in
jured the corn, but the early cold
spells did not allow the moisture to
escape from the kernels. he said.
Only the corn that was dried arti-
ficially before cold weather set in
will show any possibility of germi-
nation, the agent said.
Moisture Content High
Normal corn, the extension report
says, contains about Is per cent of
moisture. Most of the corn tested
recently shows content of 20 to Is
per cent.
Scheduled on this basis of moist
ure the report shows the percentage
of corn killed at various tempera-
lures.
Ten per cent killed at tempera-
lures below 20 degrees.
Fifty per cent killed when the
temperature went below 10 degrees
and all of it killed at temperatures
below zero.
OF course with moistures running
between Is and 20 per cent 40 per
cent was killed by the zero tempera-
lures.
Two Testers Used Now
In an attempt to check all corn
in this area, Mr.. Abbott has placed
two testers into service. Plans are
being made to place a third in op-
Grafton, he said.
AS corn is found unfit to use as
seed, farmers must purchase enough
for their needs from outside sources.
Thus the supply of good corn is
diminishing rapidly. he said.

Storms Cost indianapolis
$1,000 Since Jan. |,
Shower Reports.

Snowstorms have cost city tax
payers S11, 900 since Jan. /, Claude
E. Shower, street commissioner, re-
ported today.
This amount has been paid in
overtime wages to 300 members of
the department who sometimes
have worked Is hours at stretch
to clear intersections and keep traf-
fic moving, he said
THE city budget provides for ex-
penditure of $4,000 a month for
street work." Mr.. Shower added.
I'VE spent $4,000 more than that
amount in January, and have run
$4,000 over this month
Workers have used rs tons of salt
and hundreds of yards of sand, at
a cost of more than $500.
It's Been a Bad Dream
During several of the coolest days,
we were unable to work at all. 1t
was impossible to move the crust
off the streets" he declared. This
whole winter has been Like a dis
ordered dream to me. I am almost
afraid to read the papers any more
for fear I will see that the weather
bureau has predicted more snow"
The only thing Mr.. Shower breads
more than cold weather is spring.
He said when the thaw starts the
city will be in for siege of high
water that may choke up the sewer
system.
by using Federal funds on flood
prevention work, the channels and
banks have been so thoroughly
cleared that the streams should hold
water five feet higher than the 1913
flood level" Mr.. Shower declared
Most of our bridges are high
enough to escape damage, but the
city is almost certain to have sewer
trouble"
City Streets Damaged
City officials have made no at
tempt to estimate the damage this
weather has done to pavement.
Streets in all sections of the city
have been buckled by frost, Mr..
Shower said.
"It will be impossible to do any
repair work until the frost is COM
pletely out of the ground he said.
I'VE tried to do some patching a
few weeks ago in the downtown
area, but the material didn't stay
in place."

1000, 900 People in Seven
States Are Affected
by Decision.
BY ROBERT w. HORTON
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.-Cheap-
er light and power for the homes
and factories of the United States
were a long step nearer today.
This is the broad implication of
the Supreme Court decision up
holding the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority's constitutional right to sell
electric energy and to acquire
Transmission lines for carrying it
across country. Seventy-seven
per cent of the population in
Twas immediate sphere of infiu-
ence is rural, and SO out of 100
farms in the area lack electricity,
though three private utility COM
panies have been in the valley for
years.
Had the court knocked out the
act, it is admitted generally that
electric lights in this area would
have been delayed as much as so
years. The Supreme Court decision
potentially puts a light into every
farm window in the valley, as we'll
as into the chicken coops, and pro-
vides power to operate farm ma
chinery.
More than 1000, 900 persons in
seven states are directly affected
by the decision.
Cheap Current Made Possible
The IVA has made possible for
the first time in this valley cheap
electricity for washing machines,
refrigerators, coasters and other
appliances which make life easier.
In doing this, IVA has reduced
electric rates as much as go per cent.
with sharp reductions following
from the private utility corporations,
Such reductions have amounted to
approximately $50,0O0,000 through
out the country in a single year.
Not only the consumer has bene-
fitted, for the power companies
themselves have shown enormous in
creases in their sales of power and
appliances.
Electric consumption in .Tupelo,
Miss, has increased 1919 per cent in
II months; in Alcorn County, Miss,
1854 per cent in 10 months; Athens,
Ala, 200 per cent in 10 months;
Pontotoc County, Miss, 215 per cent
in Is months.

landon. Ice covered all roads in
and surrounding Marion County.
The State Highway Commission
said that although no main reads
were reported closed, that all roads
north of the National Road were
dangerous.
At RavenSwood, North Side sum-
mer resort, White River is frozen
solidly, with Is inches of ice in
some places. Roads leading to the
resort have been covered with ice
for two weeks.
The renewed bitterness again
caught the city and state on the
verge of a coal shortage. Even the
railroads running fuel on schedules
ordinarily used only for livestock
shipments, the shortage continues as
a threat.
Marion County schools were closed
today by j. Malcolm Dunn, county
superintendent. They are to remain
closed until Monday. Accompany
ing the order of closing was an Or
der for all county school BUSES to
stay off icy roads.
There appeared to be no threat of
milk shortage, even though some of
the roads were impossible and farm
ers in isolated cases were unable to
get their milk to market.
Fire alarms during the week end
ing Feb. Is totalled IA, about half
the usual number during cold
spell, according to Thomas Haefling,
Gamewell superintendent.
One major fire developed early
today and a family of four fled the
second story of a frame dwelling
into subzero temperatures to save
their lives.
Blast Damages Home
The home of George Mates, 701
N. Haugh-st, was damaged to the
extent of $500 when coal gas ex-
ploded in the furnace and blew off
the hue pipe. Flames ignited the
ground floor The family, Mr.. and
Mrs. Mates and their two sons, were
awakened when their quarters choked
with smoke.
Mrs. Mates and the sons, Nick
81. and Mike, Is, fled down an
outside back stairway when they
discovered the inside stairway was
alive with flames, but Mr.. Mates re-
manned in the house in an effort to
save some furniture. He was mo-
mentarily overcome with smoke,
but revived himself and escaped.
John Boardman, 10, of $50 w.

The suit reached the high court on
