But, after marriage, it wears out
your nerves, wears down your

Two Smashing Defeats
Guffey Coal Act and Tugwell Housir
Scheme Held Unconstitutional

Scheme Held Unconstitutional
The Raw Deal suffered smashing defeats two major
fronts when the Supreme Court Of the United States
held the Guffey act unconstitutional and the Court Of
Appeals of the District of Columbia made similar de-
cision on DR.. Rexford Tugwels resettlement scheme
The Guffey act was simply attempt to revive the
unconstitutional NRA smaller scale within the coal
industry.
It's primary purpose perhaps, not even that but
barefaced effort to purchase the mining vote Of Penn
sylvana.
It is safe say that few competent observers in the
Administration out Of it, honestly believed that it
conformed to the Constitution.
The President himself virtually said much when
he urged Congress to pass it in spite of doubts how
ever reasonable to its constitutionality.
The Supreme Courts decision simply makes official
what everybody knew before.
The ruling on DR.. Tugwell's project, though made by
lower court and not yet passed on by the supreme
tribunal is, in many respects significant than
the Guffey decision.
Not only was the illegalty of the Tugwell plan
posed, but the ENTIRE FIVE BILLION DOLLAR
''SLUSH FUND" given to the President in 1885
declared UNCONSTITUTIONAL by three of the five
judges
Says the decision:

tice CardOzO in his cOncurring- opinion in the
Schechter case: THIS is DELEGATION RUN

"The President, not the Congress, is to decide

"ObUiOusIy, if the President we're so disposed,
he could use the entire appropriated in build

hand, he could just as yell EXCLUDE THAT

"The houses for Which this UGst sum of money

present worded, the statute is in- definite.
 The use of the word violated" indicates that our legislature appre- ciated the necessity for prompt ac- ton in certain cases and that it was intended to invest the commis- sioner with the requisite power to act immediately for the protection of the public at large. It also ap- pears that the legislature indicated this intent by vesting the power in the commissioner to use his discre- ton in certain definite instances since, in lines 24-27 inclusive of sec tion 62l-C, 1t is prescribed that
 ".. except that for violation of subsection (b) of section 566C or subsection (b) of section 1897 or section 606C, the commissioner of motor vehicles may, in his discre- tion, waive such requirements"
 The sections last referred to have to do with speed and brakes and it is readily apparent that such viola tion might be so trivial as not to warrant such drastic action as sus- pension of 8 license.
 Recommendation No. 3
 The commission also felt that the statutes governing the suspension of a license for failure to pay an unsatiSfied Judgment, which was re- pealed in 1881, should be re-enacted and made part of the financial re- sponsibility laws. Substantially this act provided that upon complaint to the commissioner of motor vehi- cles by a prevailing party or his at- torney in an action of negligence arising out of the use of motor vehicle that a judgment for sum other than costs or nominal dam ages has remained unpaid for more than sixty days after the date thereof, without the filing of a mo- tice of appeal, said commissioner shall suspend the operators license of the defeated party to such action and may suspend the registration of any mote- vehicle owned by any such defeated party until there shall have been filed with said commis- sioner copy of satisfaction of Judgment in such action, certified by the clerk of the court wherein such judgment shall have been rem dered.
 Upon the evidence before this commission it seems difficult to un- why this sahItarv section was repealed. At the public and pri- vate hearings held, many instances were cited where such judgment debtors allegedly hid their property from execution and had purchased new cars, in the name of wife or other relative, and yet were oper- ating on our public highways. Tn several instances these judgment debtors were taunting the injured judgment creditors about their in- ability to do anything about it.
