ANOTHER NEW DEAL MEASURE
GETS THE AXE

In sharply divided to decision that
killed another law enacted under the New
Deal the United States Supreme Court at
Washington declared unconstitutional the
1884 Municipal Bankruptcy Act.
On the ground that it violated states
rights, the statute, intended to help cities,
counties and other political subdivisions re-
duce their indebtedness through federal
bankruptcy courts, met the same fate as
NRA, AAA and the Guffey Coal Control
Act.
A dissenting opinion, written by Mr.
Justice Cardozo, and subscribed to by Chief
Justice Hughes and Mr.. Justices Brandeis
and Stone, sharply challenged the conclu-
sion of the majority.
Mr.. Justice McReynolds, joined by Mr..
Justices Van Devanter, Sutherland, Butler
and Roberts wrote the majority opinion.
Under another decision, the govern
ment lost in its effort to reduce service
charges for buying and selling livestock at
the Kansas City stockyards. In an unani-
nous opinion by Chief Justice Hughes, the
court said Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace had not given the commission men an
adequate hearing.
The court also ordered it's decision
against the Guffey Coal Control Act into
immediate effect, instead of waiting the
customary Is days.

FLORIDA FLOGGERS
FOUND GUILTY

BARTON, Fla.-In a surprise move that
upset all predictions, Florida six-man
jury filed into it's box in BartOws court
room and announced verdicts of guilty for
the five former Tampa policemen charged
with kidnapping Eugene F. POulnot, mem
Der Of the Tampa Modern Democrats and
chairman of the Florida Workers. Alli-
ance
The defendants face maximum terms of
10 years. In addition they, together with
four others, must stand future trials for
the kidnapping of Samuel J. Rogers and the
kidnapping and second-degree murder of
Joseph Shoemaker, Poulnot's companions
on, the night of Nov. 80. The trio were
seized during an illegal raid on a Modern
Democrat meeting, questioned at police
headquarters and then carried into the
countryside to be beaten with whips and
chains and tarred and feathered.
An immediate appeal to the Florida SUI
preme court, announced by Defense Coun-
sci Pat Whitaker, Tampa politician, will
serve to keep the convicted men, now free
on $500 bail, out of jail for weeks or
months to come. An indication of the SUI
preme courts attitude in the case is seen
in it's writ of mandamus, issued shortly
after the case broke wide open, granting
the defense permission to examine secret
evidence later presented at grand jury
hearings. Such move is directly con-
trary to usual judicial proceducee
Not once during the entire trial was evil
dence presented to reveal the identity of
the higher-up who ordered the raids and
kdnapings, it was pointed out.
Much of the credit for the convictions
so far obtained is being given to the Com
mittee for the Defense of Civil Rights in
Tampa, with headquarters in New York.
and to other liberal and labor groups which
demanded prosecution of the floggers.

ONLY PART
SOLUTION
"Much as we are cncerned with
the welfare of the people who will
be disemployed by the introduc-
ton of the cotton picker, it is OBJ
vious that we will not be able to
rehabilitate all of them from our
share Of the profits gained by the
cotton picker enterprise. We be-
live there should be a job for ev-
cry able-bodied person who ap-
plies for work, and that there
should be universal insurance for
the disabled and the aged. But
these are social problems which
must be dealt with as such by So
ciety as a whole.
PLANNED
ECONOMY
eve believe that the final solu-
ton of these problems will come
when the introduction of planned
economy of abundance, wherein at
least our credit and basic indus
tries are socialized. 1t is likely
that, even under a planned econ
omy difference in compensation
according to real services render
ed may long be required to induce
everyone to do his best, but the
spread in income should be limit
ed. The maximum pay perhaps
should be not more than 10 times
the minimum, but regardless of
the spread of income, our total
buying power should equal the to-
tai price of goods for sale.
COOPERATIVE
COMMONWEALTH
cit seems inevitable that some
form of cooperative common
wealth will eventually supplant
our decaying capitalistic society,
and it is our wish that this trans
ition may take place with as little
confusion and violence as possible.
To end this, the Rust brothers will
cooperate with all progressive
forces toward a new and better
society, where new inventions will
no longer take the workman's job
but will shorten his hours Of toll
We now have the means Of pro-
ducing more than enough for all
We Americans have proved our
selves good mechanical engineers
Now let US turn our hands to socia
engineering and build a new So
ciety that will give every man
woman and child a real chance tx
enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness"

Ride 'em Cowboy" The cry rises

Each year, for three days, July 2, 3
and 4, the Livingston Roundup holds
sway. bringing to that thriving city
thousands of people-a motley group:
Among their number may be found
cowboys from plains and hills, sun
burned to a brick red; flappers from
the east, westernized over night at
some nearby dude ranch; Canadians,
Indians in native regalia
camping in nearby tepees; hard riding
horsemen from the ranges and dudes
out for a fortnight of fun and a good
time. Thousands come each year to
to thrill and be thrilled.
They do not go away disappointed.

g~aniZation's aim is to perpetuate the

association made up Of the business
and professional men of Livingston.
Here you will see . clear and init
mate view of the actual living cowboy
as ne rides and plays on the vast
ranges of Montana encouraged and &C
companied by his confident employer
to proudly represent the home ranch
and to help maintain Montana'S repu-

! world.
The Livingston Roundup has a ma
tiOnal reputation for being one of the
foremost exhibitions Of cowboy sports
in America. The many dudes from the

come from far and near to see this
spectacular exhibition of western PROV
eSS. Cowboys and range riders, too

the best of them flock to the Montana
city to compete for the honor and
large purses.
The people Of Livingston, participants
and visitors dress and act during the
three-day celebration as did the pio-
neers OF the great cattle country. Grow
Indians move in and camp at the city's
edge. adding their color to the event
The air is charged with romance. The
whole Is a colorful perturbation of
the work and play Of the cowboy as
he Is still to be found on the last
ranges of Montana and nearby states,
Automobile tourists from SO states
and four Canadian provinces were
present last year, in addition to those
spectators who came by train from the
lar eastern and western states. YELL

prizes and 125 head of the widest
bucklng horses n the northwest are
used. Seventy-five head Of wild Brah-
ma and Mexican steers are imported
from the vast ranges of Texas and
Mexico. This is a real show of thrills,
no climax rehearsed, nor artificial stage
effects.
One of the special features of the
Roundup this year will be Alice Sisty,
a little Mexican girl who halls from
Mexico City who has a worldwide repu-
tatlon OF being the most daredevil girl
trick rider in the world. Besides being
an accomplished trick rider, she has a
very spectacular act of standing on the
backs OF two horses, n foot on each,
n jumping them over an automobile
This is, in itself, well worth attending
the roundup.
