Repayments to March 81 amounted tt
approximately 2S,0OO,000 bushels, ant
nearly 100000 bushels had been de
livered to the corporation. The tota
quantity remaining under loan, March
81, was 320,327,8S5 bushels.
Winter wheat made substantial
belt with continued mild temperatures
and perceptible greening up was re-
ported from northern areas. Condi-
lions showed some improvement In
the southern Ohio Valley, also in
| Texas. The crop is reported begin
ming to joint in Oklahoma. Excellent
growth also was maintained in west
ern Kansas but in the east damage
by fly and excessive moisture is be-
coming more evident with some fields
abandoned. Seeding Of oats and bar
ley made better progress but is still
delayed by rains or wet soil in most
interior sections. In the Ohio Valley
some seeding on lighter soils was ac-
complished and some grain was sown
on the uplands in Iowa. In the Great
Plains, spring grain seeding was near
ly completed as far north as the
southern half of Kansas.
In Europe field work is reported
active over large areas but labor
shortage is threatening plans for in
creased spring planting. Recently
days were mostly springlike but night
temperatures low. Moisture supplies
are satisfactory but winter wheat
prospects range mostly from below
normal to normal. Severe flooding in
the Danube Basin has further reduced
crop prospects. Continued cold
weather in Russia has impeded field
work. Seeding of spring grains is
getting late start in the United
Kingdom because of severe weather
in February and early March Irish
government is attempting to increase
the acreage Of wheat, oats, and barley
In the Southern Hemisphere, good
general rains improved the soil for
blowing for wheat but delayed the
corn harvest In Australia, blowing
has made fair progress but moisture
is needed In some sections.

SCHNEIDERMAN
CASE SET
FOR HEARING

/ April 81 has been set as the date
for presentation of arguments in the
case of William Schneiderman before
the United States supreme court ac-
cording to Miss Carol King, New York
attorney, member of Schneiderman's
counsel.
Frequently postponed, both the So
licitor general and Wendell Willkie,
representing without fee Schneider
man, announce their readiness to
argue the case on the April date.
Schneiderman, leader of the Com
munist party in the state of Califor-
mia, is seeking reversal of lower court
rulings revoking his naturalized Amer
lean citizenship. The basis for the
revocation was the fact that at the
time of application for citizenship,
Is years ago, Schneiderman was a
member of the Communist party.
Quick to sense in this case far
reaching implications affecting the
citizenship status of millions of ma
turalized Americans, religious leaders
have been among the first to indicate
their support of Schneiderman's eff
forts. Among those already signators
to such public statement are such
men as: Rev. Philip H. Steinmetz, st.
Paul's Church, Hillsdale, Michigan;
Bishop Edward L. Parsons, San Fran
cisco, CAL; Rabbi Jacob j. Weinstein,
Chicago; Rev. Robert Whitaker, Los
Gatos, CAL; Rev. F. w. Mcconnell,
Methodist Church, Bentleyville, Pa;
Rev. w. Fay Butler, Los Angeles,
CAL; Rabbi Harry Essrig, Rockefeller
Memorial Chapel, Chicago; Rev. Sid
ney Lovett, Chaplain Yale University,
New Haven, Conn.," according to Miss
Mini Carson, national administrative
secretary of the Committee for Citi-
Rights.

as it was in France in the peasant
rebellion of 1858. The British law
was repealed in 1898, but the south

England and, being conservative, re-

OF course, behind the retention of
the poll tax law is the economic i'm

as long as the negroes are deprived

Appealed from Rosebud county, For
syth. Opinion of hte court by Justice
Albert H. Angstman. Justice C. F
Morris indicating dissent.
Facts: In 1903 the county commits
sioners in defining school district
boundaries described district No. as
embracing all territory not within any
other school district. Thereafter dis
trict No. was regarded as including
two non-contiguous isolated tracts of
land, one of which was known as
Alb. The trustees of districts and
80, which districts are contiguous to
prevent the distribution to district
No. of school moneys allotted on
the basis of the children residing in
Alb.
Held: That the writ of prohibition
should issue since the county COM
missioners in 1908 had no authority
to include the territory known as Alb
in district No. 4, and therefore the
territory embraced in Alb was not
part of any school district and dis
trict No. was not entitled to the
moneys.

Stirring Dry Bones.
How Poll Tax Hurts.
Women Also Barred.
It's An Old Evil.
Look Who Favors 1t.

The bill, introduced by Senator Pep
per of Florida, to make ineffective
so far as election of senators and
representatives in congress is con
cerned-state laws which require pay
ment of poll tax before a citizen can
vote, is stirring up the dry bones OF
the South. 1t is in eight southern
states where about 10 million citizens
are barred from the franchise by the
un-American provisions of the poll tax
law. The great evil of the law Is not
in the tax of $150 to $3.50 on each
"head"-for poll means head-that
is sought to be remedied. 1t Is rather
because the law is retroactive and
piles up the tax, year after year, un-
til the amount becomes so great that
few can afford to pay 1t for the priv
ilege of casting ballot. In the hear
ings on the Pepper measure it has
| been brought out that accumulated
back taxes" of s4750 and upward
have deprived the low income groups
of all hope of exercising the demo-
cratic right of voting at any election.
OF the eight states-Virginia, Geor-
gia, Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi,
Texas, Tennessee and South Caro-
lina-Tennessee shows the worst eff
fects of the poll tax restriction on
voting. In the eastern part there is
the republican boss (Taylor was so
recognized) and in the western region
BOSS Crump" at Memphis is dictator.
Testimony before senate investigat-
ing committee ten years ago revealed
that these two-like the industries of
trust-made a 'gentleman's agree
ment" to divide the trade territory
and rule undisturbed. This condition
has not improved in the past decade,
evidently, for this year Chambers Of
Commerce and other public bodies in
Tennessee cities are all out in cam
paign to get citizens to pay up their
delinquent poll tax for the purpose
of electing representatives to the
state legislature pledged to repeal
Of the offensive law. That-if you
know your Tennessee-is like Eze-
kieps vision of the dry bones in an
open valley which Joined each other,
put ON sinews and flesh and became
an army of living men.
The effect of this restrictive tax is |
made plain in the manner
in which it restricted the vote of wom-
en-. In 1916, when only men voted in
Tennessee, 272,194 votes were cast.
In 1920, due to an error in the poll
AK law, women were permitted to
vote without paying it, the total vote
Jumped to 428,624l But the next
legislature fixed that and in 1924 the
otal vote fell to 290,552. That quota
system of restricted voting worked
we'll for the bosses, but hardly for

Reason for this long vacation peri
cd Is that climatic conditions there

10 months year without serious i'm
pairment of health and efficiency.
Solve Problem For Us
There has been quite fight going
on here for the past few months as
to whether to use wheat and other
grains or whether to use molasses in
the manufacture of alcohol for NUM-
lions purposes.
Hitler's submarines operating off
the Atlantic seaboard have settled the
controversy for us-and they have
settled it in favor of grains, of which
we have surplus. AS result of sub
sinkings, sugar imports from Cuba
and elsewhere are behind schedule, SO
greater conservation of sugar becomes
necessary.
We Were Good Teachers
1t was just about 90 years ago that
American capitalist ship owners, de-

Fortified by the Jap promise to pay
7 percent interest on bonds, together
with share in the profits through
purchase of American materials, ship
building investors sank millions into
a modern shipbuilding
other millions into mate
rial for ships for the Japs. These
ships were used by the Japs to under
bid and under-sell American lines, en-
abling them to control large share
Of shipping In the Pacific.
And today, the Japs are using these
same ships to transport Japanese SOL
Hers to kill Americans in the Dutch |
