rampant "Blue Eagle" is missing,
but the large scale detectives Of
the new law are precisely the
same as the old NRA.
Those detectives are the aboI-
ton of child labor, the prevention
of unfair trade practices and the
establishment Of a work scale In
interstate industry under which
the Federal Government will die
tate standards of hours and wages.
The Supreme Courts approval
of the social security act, with its
old-age pensions and unemploy-
ment insurance, completed the
great trilogy Of New Deal expert
ments and detectives.
SO far as Mr.. Roosevelt was con-
cerned there remained today but
one cloud in the New Deal sky.
That is his proposal to enlarge the
Supreme Court to is members.
The succession Of New Deal vic
tories won at this term OF the SUI
preme Court admittedly has weak
ened his Supreme Court revision
case before Congress. The incen-
tive has been dulled by the Courts
newly-found tendency to give a
broader Interpretation Of the Con
stitution-especially the interstate
commerce and general welfare
clauses.
Constitutionalists in and out Of
Congress were agreed today that
more liberal Interpretations OF
these clauses gives the New Deal
virtually all it asked in the be-
ginning. So the doubters and the
recalcitrants on the courtreviSion
issue are now. saying;
'Why pack it?"
FOES ARE JUBHANT
Opponents of Mr.. Roosevelt's
reorganization scheme publicly
and gleefully assert the bill is
dead-that the Supreme Court
itself has killed it.. Those who
are for Mr.. RooSevelt'S plan
privately concede that it is now
probably impossible to muster q
majority of the Senate in favor
of the plan and are urging COM
promise.
To support their position, that
some form of Supreme Court re-
organization still is necessary, if
the gains made are to be con-
solidated and held, they point out
the most important Of the recent
decisions have been Of the 5-to-4
variety-four Of them yesterday.
Administration supporters insist
that this margin is "too narrow
for safety"
In three of yesterdays epochal
decisions, the Constitution was

over to the liberal side, said 1t was.
In another case, Chief Justice
Hughes was the balance Of power.
Faces Hard Shedding
Nevertheless, Mr.. Roosevelt
faces harder, if not impossible,
Shedding in putting through his
original enlargement scheme.
Yesterdays decisions applied what
observers believe to be the coup
de grace to the whole plan, al
though it Is possible now that
some innocuouS scheme will be
worked out as a face-saver.
Irrespective Of whether the
President wins or loses his court
fight, he has in the main accom-
plished his original purpose. He
has focused national attention On
the court in q way it has never
been done before; he has virtually
forced the court to take what he
has described as "a more enlight-
ened view" Of the Constitution,
and he has induced the retirement
Of one justice, Willis Van Devan-
ter, one of the New Deals most
implacable foes.
Won and Lost.
A week from today Justice Van
Devanter steps down from the
bench on which he has served for
~ years, paving the way for the
appointment of q new Liberal"
Justice. This would seem to Ol1viate
those narrow 5 to 4 decisions IN
the future, for only three Of the
die-hard conservatives will remain.
Although denied, the Capital
confidently expects to see two or
possibly three more retirementS
before the court meets again In
october. This would further ease
the situation, and operate to kin
the enlargement bill.
It would appear Mr.. Roosevelt
has both won and lost.

MORE FARMERS IN

Increase of 80 Per Cent.

Leads in Signers

With a total of 1920 farmers
in Maryland signing work sheets
for participation in the Agricul-
tural Conservation program of
1888, compared with 1852 in
1887, there is an increase of thir-
ty per cent in number of signers,
according to Paul E. Nystrom of
the University of Maryland Elk
tension Service, who is directly
in charge of the work in this state.
The signup represents 63 per cent
of the farm land of the State.
Frederick county, with 1904
signers, had the highest number,
followed by Carroll county with
1856, Baltimore county with l.
116, Garrett county with 1,1O4, and
Hartford county with 1,043.
The largest percentage of in
crease in the number of signers
was made by Hartford county,
which had 455 signers in 1886 and
total of 1,043 in 1887. Talbot
county had the largest percentage
of land covered
Every county in the State show
ed an increase in number of far
mers participating.
Farms for which work sheets
have been filed are now being
checked to determine the extent
to which each signer has complied
with approved soil-conserving
practices or converted land from
soil-depleting crops to soil-conserv
Ing crops, in order to determine
the payment to which he is entitl-
ed under the program. At the
same time, the State Agricultural
Conservation Committee is con-
-sidering possible changes in the
program for next year which will
better adapt it to conditions in
Maryland. Recommendations Of
the State Committee will be sent
10 officials in Washington.
1t is expected that provisions of
the 1888 program will be announc-
ed in advance of time for planting
winter wheat.

AWARD BID
AFTER JAN. |

Bids of the Interior Construction
company and the Pacific Contrac-
tors company for completion of
Grand Coulee dam will be laid be-
fore Interior Secretary-lckes for
final consideration soon after JAM
uary 1.
The bids are now being studied
by John C. Page, commissioners of
reclamation. Unohficially he has ex-
pressed belief the Interior Con-
struction company will be awarded
the contract-because its bid was
so much below the competing offer.
Not Allowed to Estimate
No one in authority in Washing
ton. D. c., is allowed even to in
innate the size of the Grand Coulee
appropriation that will be asked of
the next congress.
There is no reason to believe
that Grand Coulee will be left out
Of the new budget" was the only
remark of Commissioner Page to
reporters in Washington.
In this connection, it is recalled
that commissioner Page asked for
SIS, 100000 for Grand Coulee In
the last regular congress. The direc
tor of budget reduced this to $15,-
100000 A further reduction to- $13-
100000 was made by the house ap-
preparations committee.
