ANOTHER LAW CHALLENGED
Paris, Dec. 20. Premier Laval de
cided today he will not resign.
It was officially announced he
reached this decision after confer
ences v.iih President Lebrun and
lightiat members of hi3 cabinet.
Laval and the president talked to
gether half an hour. Laval wa3
quoted as having said: "There may
be an epidemic of resignations but I
do not feel affected by the contagion." 'the Union Pacific tracks here
Xorth Platte. The 1935 state law
authorizing cities to acquire and pay
damages for rights-of-way for via
ducts, was challenged in a court ac
tion here. It was the sixteenth law
enacted by the 1935 legislature to
be challenged in the courts.
Mayor F. L. Temple and members
of the city council were restrained
from passing an ordinance for the
appointment of appraisers to fix the
property damage, and for calling a
special bond election to obtain funds
to pay damage in connection with a
proposal to construct a viaduct across
The French press pictured France
a3 the last big power of the League
of Nations to hold out against the
peril of a general European war.
Friends of Edouard Herriot, influ
ential minister of state, who resigned
as president of the dominant radical
socialist party because of criticism
against Laval, said he likewise is
remaining with the cabinet to the
last.
French sources said the speech of
defense to the house of commons yes
terday by Sir Samuel Iloare, co-author
of the discredited peace plan,

retary, made Laval even more vul
nerable to renewed leftist attacks.
These sources accepted Hoare's
address as an indication the pro

The order was issued by District
Judge I. J. Nisley. Sheriff A. J. Salis
bury served the papers on the mayor
and councilmen when they met to
take action on the proposed ordin
ance. Plaintiffs say the viaduct would
be a hazard to traffic and that the
law is unconstitutional in that it al
lows cities to deprive citizens of
property and that judicial power is
granted the mayor and council.

Legislation for
Agriculture Need
of Nation Today
Head of Economics department of
State University Tells of Press
ing Need of Time.
Some sort of legislation In the
interest of agriculture is necessary
if the economic order of this coun
try is to be kept in the balance, says
Prof. T. T. Bullock of the economics
department of the University of Ne
braska at Lincoln. In a recent article
on economics and Its relation to the
farming industry, he points out that
the task oday is to make leaders of
bot hparties realize that agricultural
stabilization is one of the most im
portant problems they will consider.
"There are three reasons why the
agricultural industry requires new
and special aid," he states. "First,
agriculture cannot, unaided, adjust
itself as can most other industries
to new conditions. In manufactur
ing, curtailed production goes hand
in hand with lessened labor costs.
In farming, the farmer and hi3 own
family are the laborers.
"In the second place, agricultural
industries are few in number and
new farming industries are not de
veloping from time to time as in
manufacturing. Consequently when
adversity faces agricultural industry,
labor and capital have no place of
refuge close at hand. The farmer
can't 6hift to something else without
picking up home stakes and moving
to a different environment ana
adopting a different mode of life.
"Finally, we should furnish some
sort of prop to farming in order to
balance the two great props given
other industries. (1) the tariff and
(2) lax enforcement o fthe anti
trust laws."
Prfoessor Bullock says agriculture,
in pushing its selfish interests, is
acting in a most patriotic, If not
wholly unselfish manner. The east
has as much at stake as the farm
belt, for it is by trading with the
agricultural regions that she makes
her greatest gains, provided farm in
come is a fairly stable one.
"Whether farm legislation should
be temporary or permanent cannot
be determined yet," he states. "It Is
quite probable that efficient farmers
will be producing much more per
acre and per man In 1945 than to
day. Wilcox, In his 'Re-Shaping
Agriculture,' published recently, pre
dicts a ten fold increase; of course,
if his prediction is realized, even in
a small part, extreme measures will
be needed to prevent the demoral
lzatoin of all midweatern industries,
urban as well as rural. Fortunately
that bridge need not be crossed until
we have had more experience in crop
control.
"By the time we are ready to con
sider a permanent policy for agri
culture, it is quite probable that the
east will be aware of its need. Until
then, the weBt must carry on, shut
ting its ears to the cry of sectional-
Ism. In pushing ltB selfish inter
ests it is acting In a most patriotic,
if not wholly unselfish manner."
COUGHUN CASE DEBATED
Springfield, 111. The Illinois su
preme court heard arguments on the
right of Rev. Charles E. Coughlin to
use Soldier Field in Chicago for a
mass meeting. The Chicago park
board's appeal from a ruling of Su
perior Court Judge Kelly in lavor
of the Detroit priest was taken under
advisement after a one hour hearing.
Samuel A. Eettleson of Chicago,
attorney for Father Coughlin, asseit
ed the issue before the court was
whether the park board had the
"arbitrary power" to determine what
type of gathering may be held at
the field.

NO longer is the young fashion
student simply a novice with
a career many years ahead. This
year, three hundred young women,
students In the Traphagen School
of Fashion, In New York City, com
peted for prizes and for represen
tation at the Beaux Arts Ball one
of the bis social events ot the win
ter season.
.When the Beaux Arts Society
Costume Committee met to pass on
the girls' colored drawings. It was
found that many parts of the Uni
ted States had been represented by
the prize and honorable xnenuon
winners.
On Dec 6th. when all society
met for this annual gala event,
nearly 200 of the Traphagen stu
dents were found to be represented
on the colorful ball room floor by
the incredibly and fantastically
beautiful costumes worn by New
York fashion leaders. The ball was
planned tn the spirit ot a party
given by an Eastern Maharajah.
Costumes were of Indian, Persian
snd Balinese inspiration; and the
girl students were credited with
exceptional originality and color
ful and artistic sophistication.
Many of their costumes, fashion
xnrts think, will have a subtle
Influence on the everyday clothes
women will be wearing soon.

ACCUSED OF SLAYING PLOT
Kansas City. The estranged wife
of a city fireman wra held on a
charge of plotting to kill her hus
band so she could collect his insur
ance. Detective Sergent Howland
said the woman, Mrs. Helen Woods,
42, approached a man with a proposi
tion to slay her husband, the man
informed police. MrB. Woods denied
the charges.
It was the third time In the past
three months that Kansas City de
tectives have arrested persons they
accused of planning murders to col
lect Insurance or obtain money.
The legal life of the administra
tion's TVA experiment was rested in
the hands of the supreme court at
Washington as still another new deal
case involving the Guffey coal act
headed ior test before that high tri
bunal. Four cases affecting new deal leg
islation cow are awaiting decision,
possibly as early as Jan. G. Besides
TVA, the others involve the original
and amended AAA acts and the
Bankhead cotton production control
law.
Five hours of argument on con
stitutionality of the Tennessee valley
project, intended to establisha "yard
stick" for measuring the reasonable
cost of electric power, were conclud
ed by James M. Beck, a former so
licitor general, with the assertion
that the program-was "revolution
ary" and "ocialistic."
Speaking for the government, "So
licitor General Reed had insisted
TVA was a proper exercise of federal
power. He said nothing was involved
in the case except the validity of a
contract for sale of transmission lines
by the Alabama Power company to
TVA and for an exchange of power.
"Little NP.A" Test Arranged.
The Guffey coal act, designed to
establish a "little Ts'RA" in the soft
coal Industry," was brought before
the court in petitions by both the
governmont and the Carter Coal com
pany ot West Virginia. They asked
the justices to pass on a ruling by the
District of Columbia supreme court
which held price fixing constitutional
but voided sections regulating wages
and hours.
The lower court also granted the
Carter company an injunction against
paying a tax of more than 1 1-2 per
cent of the salo price at the mines.
The act imposes a 15 percent tax of
which SO percent will be refunded
to those who abided by its provisions.
The government appealed from the
Injunction and said it had no objec
tion to tho court granting the peti
tion of the Carter .company for a re
view.
In his argument, forceTul speaking
Beck asserted that TVA enterprise
constitutes a humiliating chapter in
our history" and "presonts a case of
administrative malevolence beyond
anything ever anticipated by any
one.
R6ed sadi that if tho primary pur
pose of the act was to aid navigation
the law was valid, but If It was to
develo pand sell power it was in
valid. He contended the government
could sell power produced as an in
cident to its efforts to aid navigation.
Those farmers who have struggled
for years to keep off relief rolls have
won their fight. They will never
have to accept a federal dole.
Such rural families can meet their
needs through one of two ways, it
was announced by the Resettlement
Administration offices. (1) Honey
covering their needs will be advanced
by the government, to be repaid by
the farmer's own labor. (2) Loans
will be advanced for the purchase of
necessary seed, feed, livestock, equip
ment and subsistence to enable the
farmer to re-establish himself.
By means of the first plan grants
will be given up to the limit of avail
able funds as needed under work
agreements. Farmers under this plan
are eligible to work on any project
within five miles of their homes. The
applicant for such work signs a note
and agreement to work within six
months after date of signing on a
basis of the prevailing security wage
rate.
The lean plan is the long time
work of the Resettlement Adminis
tration. Farm management plan3
take into consideration all of the as
sets and liabilities of the farmer, the
family need3 and the best means of
putting the farmer upon a profitable
basis. The money is advanced from
time to time as needed, repayable
within from two to five years.
Those eligible under either plan
are "families living in towns and vil
lages as well a3 farm families, if their
last income was derived primarily
from farming, whether a3 operator,
tenant, chare-cropper or laborer."
"Where there is no projects with
in five miles, grants will be given un
til such projects are available to ful
fill work agreements," said Sherman
E. Johnson, regional director. "I feel
Isure this announcement will be good
news to farmers in this state. Prac
tically all farmers would prefer to
work out of their difficulties through
either the loan or work agreement
system rather than accept a federal
dole."
Resettlement officials urged those
wishing to benefit under this phase
of the Resettlement program to get in
touch with the local supervisor, local
welfare agency or the county agent
at once.

piainea "my wife usually watches
the signs and tells me about them;
while I do the steering. In this case
she failed to see the warning sign."
He was fined $5 and costs.

RETAIL SALES SHOW A GAIN
New York. A nationwide survey
by the National Retail Drygoods as
sociation indicated that retail Christ
mas sales have expanded almost 10
percent over last year for the first
half of December. Based on tele
graphed reports from merchants in
representative cities, the increase is
virtually equivalent to a 20 percent
improvement over the 1333 Christ
mas period. If it is maintained, said
Cbanning E. Sweitzer, managing di
rector of the association, the pre
diction of a $4,000,000 retail busi
ness for the month will have been
fulfilled. Department store sales, he
said, then will have surpassed any
since 1930. The gain already record
ed compares with a 10 percent in
crease for the entire month of Decem
ber, 1934, over the preceding Christ
mas season. Every region shared the
increase, the report showed. Thie
gain in New England was placed at
7 percent; in the middle Atlantic
states, 8 percent; tho middle weEt,
10 percent; the south, 9 percent,
and the far western states, 7 percent.
