I Decision on Land Banks i Said to be Secretary of Omaha Branch Asserts Farmers Can Obtain Loans Within Month if Bill Before .Congress Authorizing Treasury Buy Bonds Is Authorized. A life saver for the farmers and stock" raisers of the middle west is the way Omaha bankers and busi ness men characterize the decision of the United States supreme court, upholding the constitutionality of the bonds of the Federal Farm Land bank system. "It is a great thing, coining when it did, and there, is no question but that it will be a wonderful help to the farmer," said Walter W. Head, president of the Omaha National bank, yesterday. "The effect of this new credit supply will not only help the farmer, the country merchant and the country banker, but will start a flow of money that will reach every line- of industry in Omaha." ' Within three to six weeks farm ers will be able to make loans through the land, banks, C. M. Gruenther, secretary of the federal farm loan branch, said in his of fice in the W. O, W. building here Early Operations Predicted. If a bill now in congress, and already passed by the senate, is approved, tha United States treasury will be authorized to buy $200,000, 000 of land bank bonds, and this, he said, perhaps would enable opera tions to be tesumed within less than a month. If the bonds have to be sold on the market. :-t probably would require as much as six weeks. The operation of the system has 1ecn held up, for more than a year by a suit brought by the private loan agents, who challenged the.tax ex emption of the bonds used in finan cing the loans.

"In numerous cases they have been unable to get money with which to nwet their ob ligations, and carrv on their business. We do not know just yet how much money will be available immediately, and there is a possiblity that the most needy cases will be handled first. There is no question but that relief for the stagnation which ex ists in the rural districts is now close at hand. f Higher Rate Probable. ''F'armers should not apply right away for loans, but wait a few days until the local secretaries and treas urers are supplied with new forms for applications. The old forms cannot be used, tor the interest charges probably will have to be altered. Whereas, before the "suit the laud bank loans w ere made at 5 1-2 per cent, it is probable now that 6 per cent will have to he charged. The bonds that used to carry 4 1-2 per cent probably will have to bear 5 1-2 per cent in order to find ready sale." In the two and one-half years of its operation, the Omaha land bank lent $48,000,000 in Nebraska, Iowa, Wyoming and South Dakota. The combined loans made by . all the landbanks in the nation amounted to $435,483,000, distributed among 135,000 farmers. . h is claimed that these banks, whicli limit loans to $10,000, have saved the farmers $10, 000,000 in commissions and $10,000, 000 in interest. ' Transportation , Act Is Under Fire In Supreme Court Forty-two States File Brief Al- tacking Validity of Law Oral Arguments to Be Heard During Week. ;i WlmigtoiC'Fcb. -28.-flie valid- ity of the transportation act was at tacked today in a brief filed in the supreme court by 42 states and' de fended by counsel for the railways. The suit, the first of several similar ones to reach the highest court, was filed by the state of Wis consin) but the attorneys general anty railway and public utilities corrr: missions of 41 other states were per mined to become parties to it. Oral argument will be heard some time this week if the court moves through its calendar with th normal speed. . -T The brief declared that as now administered the act, by centering all power over rates in the inter state commerce commission, took away from the states rights spe cifically reserved to them by the fed eral constitution. Hie provisions for a fixed return on railway investment was made the basis for special attack as "un economic and unconstitutional." Emphasis also was directed to the requirement that the commission group, several roads together and make rates that , would yield an ag gregate fixed return to all roads m the group. This was alleged to place a "double burden" on shippers in that it compelled them to support "poor and worthless roads" as well as those which rendered legitimate service.

Many Cases Are Affected Washington. Feb. 28. Sections of the Lever food control act under which the Department of Justice has brought- many actions for alleged profiteering in necessities were de clared unconstitutional today by the supreme court. Chief Justice White read the court's opinion. Conviction of the L. Cohen Gro cery company of St. Louis in having charged ay unreasonable profit on sales of sugar was set aside by the court. In taking this action the court sus taincd decrees of lower courts, which had sustained a demurrer to the in dictment of the grocery concern. The specific charge was that the defend ant charged $10.70 for 50 pounds of sugar, or 'at the rate of more than 20 cents a pound. f The conviction of the firm of Weeds,- Inc.," of Biughamtdn, N. Y., also was 'set aside. Chief Justice White said the statute was "as broad as human imagination." Justices Brandeis and Pitney con curred in the opinion, but dissenting from "the reasoning by which it was rtached." Hundreds of cases growing out of the government campaign to reduce 'the cost of living are affected by the opinion. t Practically all attacks against the. act were based on the ground it violated the fifth amendment in that it deprives the defendants of their property without due process of law. Other arguments were based on the allegations that enactment of the law October 23, 1919, after hostilities had ceased was not a proper exercise by congress of itf. war powers. It also was rgued that the sales were intrastate and outside of federal jurisdiction. Parole Board to Consider 30 Cases Probation Officer Will Select Candidates for Hearing March 9.

A complete check up by railroad officials and the coroner of t he bodies in th?
