important power companies Tor a pri-
vate conference at the White House.
While no public information was
given out as to what was discussed, it
IS understood here that the effort was
10 find a reasonable rule TO govern the
distribution OF power produced at gov
eminent dams in the Tennessee Valley
and elsewhere.
The right of the government to dis
tribute this power has been challenged,
though its right to generate electric
energy as an incident to the construc-
ton Of dams for flood and navigation
control, has been upheld by the SUI
preme Court.
Farm and Security Acts
The Frazier-Lemke act which grant
ed a three-year moratorium against
foreclosure of farm mortgages has been
challenged by the Phoenix Joint Stock
Land Bank of Kansas City, which has
carried the request to the Supreme
Court after adverse ruling by the
Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. The
Supreme Court decided last year that
an earlier Frazier-Lemke Act of sim
liar intent was unconstitutional. The
present act was passed in an effort
to accomplish the same result by con-
stitutional means.
No formal action to challenge the
constitutionality of the Social Security
Act has yet reached the Supreme
Court, although that is a very import
ant act of the 7th Congress of which
a constitutional test is expected sooner
or later.
In the meantime, the Social Secur-
ity Board is preparing to carry out the
provisions of the Act, especially that
part Of it dealing with old age insur-
ance, which does not take effect until
Januay l, 1897.
The gigantic task upon which a huge
staff of clerks has been at work for
nearly a year is that of checking and
recording the names, ages, and en-
ployment records of some 26,000,O0
wokes in industry and business.
Immediately after election every
postmaster is to be furnished with the
Social Secerity Boards list for his
community and will be Gale upon to
check upon the present whereabouts
Of every peson whose name appears
on the list.
Starting January LIST
Beginning January l, every en-
ployer will be require to pay to the
government a tax OF one percent OF
his total payroll, except for such parts
of it as run above $4,000 a year for
any particular employee. Beginning at
the same date, every worker earning
up to $1,000 a year will be required
to pay income tax of one percent OF
his total salary or wages. This income
tax must be deducted from the pay
check or wage envelope by the en-
ployer and turned owe to the gov
eminent.
Out Of the proceeds Of this payroll
tax the act provides for retirement
pensions beginning at the age of 65.

While Washington's attention is MOI
in the least diverted from the presi-
Dental campaign. consideration is be-
ing 4 what is going to happen after
election, no matter who may be elect
ed. For. on the question of who will
be the mex President of the United
States, the best-informed political
prophets in Washington are frankly
throwing up their hands. So many fac
tors which have not been present IN
previous presidential campaigns enter
into the picture this year that nobody
feels quite sure that the usual signs
which have heretofore been relied up
on will prove reliable in 1896.
But whether Mr.. Roosevelt or Mr.,
Landon is elected, the mill Of the Su-
preme Court will grind on as if there
had been no political campaign. 1t is
not expected that any important de-
cisions will be handed down until af-
ter election, but from then on there
will be a succession Of decisions on
ten, at least of the acts of the 73rd and
74th Congresses whose constitution
atty has been challenged.
The principal laws under attack are
the Wagner Labor Relations Act. the
Frazier-Lemke Farm Mortgage Mora
torium measure, the 1888 Truth in
Securities" act, the Public Utility
Holding Company act and the right OF
PWA to make loans fer publicly owned
hydro-electric plants
The Challenged Laws
The Wagner Labor Relations Act.
which established the National Labor
Relations Board and guaranteed the
right of collective bargaining to all en-
~ployees, has been challenged by the
Associated Press and by the Bradley
Lumber Company of Arkansas. The
lower courts have upheld the constit-
utionality of the act. Now the Supreme
Court is to pass upon their rulings.
Several power companies have
questioned the constitutionality of
government loans for publicly owned
electric light and power systems. Their
complaint is that this puts the gov
eminent into unfair competition with
private business. The action of the
Supreme Court on this and the Public
Utility Holding Company act is ex-
pected to bring to a head the conflict
between the Federal Government and
public utilities.
A step toward bringing about better
relations between the Government and
privately owned power companies was
taken the other day by President Roo
%sevelt, who called in representatives of

Reading their own newspaper, the people of Medi-
cine Lake rather unfortunately would not know that the
grant by which they are to have a splendid new $751;
900 modern high school building was made possible
through PWA, a federal agency set up under the Roose-
welt administration and directly at the Presidents rec
concentration. Undoubtedly it was just an oversight on
the part of the Wave editor, or else the abundance of
anti-New Deal publicity just naturally crowded out the
furnishing of this part Of the information regarding the
new building funds. Yes, even to a community that is
admittedly Republican by a wide majority, generous
benefits can come from a Democratic administration, and
it does somehow seem to us that we editors too should
be generous" enough to admit it.

COOL DAYS BRING ON
SKIN RRITATTONS

Cooler weather is the signal for the
spread of skin disease. This is be-
cause many people neglect proper
bathing and are exposed to radical
changes of temperature on the surface
of the body. To rush out into the cold
air while %perspiring even the least Bit
will aggravate skin troubles or bring
them on. To working men in shops oil
the indiscreet in farm houses this ar
ticle will be timely.
Eczema is by far the most common
skin disease. 1t may develop on any
part of the human being whether pro-
tected by clothing or not. 1t is not
contagious-and may be become a
chronic disease if neglected. Its chief
symptom is itching or burning. Ex-
cessive scratching which seems inn
perative may arouse moisture, even
bleeding. Rarely does exzema scale or

MUSIC

MUSIC dow the furrow
One of the EARLY American philo-
ophers-l think it was Thoreau-
wrote: Give me the man who sings
at his work"
A modern version might bc give
me the man who listens to the radio
at his work" Not all of us can sing,
and some of us work at trades in
which music would be an annoyance,
but the general idea that music is
helpful in getting through the dludg-
cry of the days work is sound.

radios, but there's music in the air"
along almost every country road and
city street. The latest application CT
this idea is the radio-equipped farm

COkh . shortage
One result of the civil war in
Spain has been to threaten a world
shortage of corks. Cork is the bark
of q particular kind of oak tree
which is cultivated principally in
| Spain. After the tree is a few years
: old It's thick bark can be stripped off
every year without hurting the tree,
Some Spanish cork groves have been
SO harvested for hundreds of years
Years ago Leland Stanford tried to
introduce the cork oak in California.
Some of the trees he planted are pro-
ducing as well as the Spanish trees do,
but American farmers did not have the
patience to wait for results during the
several years it takes a tree to begin
to yield cork in commercial qualities.
Germany has Just enacted a decree
forbidding the use of corks in bottles.
Only homegrown wood shoppers may
be used. That has nothing to to do with
the cork shortage, however; it's just
one of Hitler's schemes to keep Ger
man money in Germany.
