SCHOOL MOGULS OUTLINE
SPRING ACTIVITIES PROGRAM

Superintendent H. p. Backus
and Coach Woodhouse attended a
session of the Grant County Prin-
cipals' association at Ephrata on
Wednesday evening, at which the
county's program of spring school
activities was determined upon.
Major activities are to be much the
same as in preceding years with
the exception that track will be of
much less significance. No school
other than Neppel was interested
in participating in track meet.
Chief reason for this appears to
be the general lack of track IA
cilities.
An all county play day, to be
held at Wilson Creek ON Saturday.
May 20, wilias.siise the place of the
traditional track meet. While
there will be contests in miscell-
aneous games including ping pong,
badminton, horseshoes, girls and
boys kittyball. yallexhall and ten-
mis-, the competition will be of such
a nature as to discourage inter-
school rivalries and encourage
friendly relations. In this same
program will figure the finals for
the county tennis play; Previously
there will have been payoffs for
the northern schools of the county
at Hartline, and playeff for the
southern schools OF the county Al
lHphrata. Coach Bowers at HIATT
line is the 1887 tennis manager.
County Typing Contest
The county typewriting contest
will also be held on this date at
Wilson Creek with Miss Hilda Me-
sick, local commercial TEACHER,
serving as manager. Miss Mesick g
management Of this event has
been so satisfactory in the past
several years that her selection
was with unanimous approval Of
the administrators.

year thai anything like d definite
baseball program has been foster.

Questions asked by Justice Stone
during arguments before the Supreme
Court on the Alabama unemployment
insurance act indicated yesterday the
legislation may be upheld by 5-to-4
vote.
Already, the Supreme Court by a
4-to-4 vote, with Stone absent be-
cause Of illness, has upheld similar
New York statute. The New York
law taxed only employers, however,
while the Alabama legislation i'm
poses the tax on both employers and
employees.
u Questioned by Stone.
Y In the argument in the Alabama
case Justice Stone put his questions
while Borden Burr, Montgomery attor-
ney, was contending that the Federal
and State legislation constituted Sur
render Of State sovereignty and usur-
patton of Federal control"
y "Every State is put in a strait
Jacket and compelled to submit to
National control" Burr asserted.
HAS the State assented to this
program?" Stone inquired
Eyes. How can it fail to assent?"
Burr responded.
8 He referred to the provision of the
Federal act that 80 per cent of the
amount collected in Federal unem-
ployment taxes be refunded to States
which adopt unemployment insurance

ity Board
Can you raise the question whether

AZ The attorney repeated that there
had been coercion" on the State.
= When Burr contended the legisla-
stion took property without due process
of law, by requiring employers to place
money in pool for the benefit OF
Others, the justice inquired if such a
provision made a school tax bad"
He added:
i Under such an Interpretation,
bachelors couldn't be called upon to
pay school tax"
= Not If it went into pool" Burr re-
piled.
Z A. A. Carmichael. Alabama attorney
