IN KLAMATH SUIT
By PAUL MA1.1.0V

WA8HINGTON. D. C Jan. 33.
(AP) The tip 1 going around among
the wis legal boys not to be so sure
about the supreme court going lor
the new deal.
That tip la not baaed on Informa
tion, but upon the shrewd observation
of the experts on the outer fringe
of the court. No one even tries to
get any Inside Information from the
court Itself unless he wants to go to
Jail for contempt.
The rail boys aay. however, they ex
pect the court will perhaps approve
another new deal Idea In a decision
to come soon on the New York milk
case They would not be surprised if
It came by the narrow margin of 6
to 4, as the decision In the Minnesota
mortgage case came.
But even with that expectation,
they cautton anyone against betting
that the court will go all the way
with the administration. They have
good reasons for their deductions.
These court experts noted that
Chief Justice Hughes had a signifi
cant catch in the Minnesota decision
um mnrtonn owner would
suffer no real loss, but only de sy
under the state moratorium,
rent would still go on. .
That was clearly a hint from the
It. benevolent attl-
couri. --
tude toward new deal measures might
not hold good If any loss io c.i...
was involved.
Insiders could see that the benedic
tion has no blanket application. 'It
cannot apply to a gold hoarder de
prived of his money or to any man
whose wealth or property Is being de
valued by edict.
nn the New
Tlie necisiun w v... ----
York milk case is not expected to
touch these points either. It Involves
mainly the right of the state to fix
milk prices.
The court has always been against

price-fixing, except -Then
It ruled that government regu
lation of rents was legal because it
was a public necessity In a time or
There Is a possibility that the court
will see the existing economic emer-
rency as a similar time m
permit the state to fix milk prices.
The court also may uphold the
NRA, if that hot legal question ever
gets up to it-
A line of reasoning was followed In
the Appalachian coal case whlcn
would have direct application to the
NRA. In the coal case last year the
court held that selling agreement

against them. Again tnc
court considered the emergency.
The coal companies were going on
the rocks because they did not have
a selling agreement to meet competi
tion. They needed such an agreement
to stave off an emergency of deprea
slon and the court gave it to them
for that period. '
The worst that can be said of the
NRA is that it is blinking at the anti
trust laws in a similar way for a
similar emergency purpose.
But If It Is to be made permanent
and the court should be required to
rule on it after the depression emer
gency is passed, that would be a legal
horse of a different color.
All those around the court, inside
and out, have an affectionate regard
for Chief Justice Hughes. They be
lieve he possesses one of the greatest
legal minds of this generstlon, per
haps the greatest.
The new law he has written so far
In the Appalachian and Minnesota
cases la only a start. There will be
scores of decisions to come, all con
nected with the emergency and re
form. The new deal has yet to hop
that hurdle.
As head of the third branch of gov
ernment Hughes may be equally In
fluential with the president and con
gress in fixing the future course of
affairs.
The farm brain trusters are secretly
conducting an investigation to find
out who has been scuttling the farm
relief ahlp.
The main Idea la to discover why
prlcea have been falling on commodi
ties to which the processing tax has
been applied. Those on the inside aay
the results will point to the processor
and that he will be nailed as the goat.
It la quite obvious that thla phase
fif the farm program has been Inef
fective, if not a complete flop. At
first the processors apparently passed
the tax on to the consumers In the
snticlpated way. But that forced
prices up so high thst the consumers
put flshooks In their pockMe.
Apparently then the processors be
gan to psy the farmers les for raw
gAoda so the prire might be held
down.
The processing theory will probably
i not be dii'arded. The phase of It
which calls for sending out the pro
ceeds of the tax to the farmers has
been an entire ir:rrv. It has ere-

Supreme Court Expected to
Render Opinion Soon After
Circuit Court Judge Acts
Home Rule Main Issue
ALBANY, Ore., Jan. 22. P) Judge
L. O. Lewelllng of the Linn-Marlon
circultcourt, announced today he will
read from the bench at Salem Wed
nesday morning at 10 o'clock, his
ruling on the constitutionality of the
Knox atate liquor control law.
Judge Lewelllng took the case un
der advisement several ,days ago at
the conclusion of arguments In the
action brought by the city of Klam
ath Falls and interveners to have the
state liquor control law declared un
constitutional on the grounds it vio
lated the "home rule" amendment
to the atate constitution by reason
of taking from cities the rlfiht to
regulate liquor sales and distribution
in any manner they see fit.
The Klamath Falsi suit was resist
ed by the stat liquor control board
attorneya. The case was argued In
the Marlon county courthouse aat Sa
lem, At the start of the suit, Judge
Lewelllng denied a temporary Injunc
tion against operation of the law. the
restralner having been requested by
Klamath Falla.
It was announced as the case went
to the court that no matter what the
outcome, Judge Lewelling's decision
would be appealed to the Oregon su
preme court for a definite ruling on
the constitutionality of the Knox plan
of liquor control, and for final de
termination of the status of the so
called "home rule amendment."
It is expected the supreme court
will lose no time in handing down
a. ruling on the question.

SAYS BANKS, FEHL
SHOW PEN EFFECT
There's one thing about Oregon's
big house If you do your time there
and attend to your own business, you ,
will get out in good time that's the1
opinion advanced today by Weslry
McKltrlck of Jackson county, who
knows. He returned last week on
parole from the penitentiary, where
ho served a little better than six
months for confessed participation in
the Jackson county ballot theft of;
last spring.
He left behind him In the state
prison: L. A. Banks, convicted of
second degree murder; Earl H. Fell!,
Walter J. Jones and J. Arthur LeDleu,
all convicted m connection with the
ballot stealing, which carried adverse
publicity for southern Oregon to all
corners of the globe.
"Banks Is fnlllng fast, mentally and
physically," McKltrlck stated this
morning. "So la Pehl; but Jones
hasn't wilted a bit. He's atlll go in
trong. Art Is getting along fine,
doing the clerical work In the cap
tain's shack, taking It all like a
man."
Banks is atlll working In tho laun
dry, and the labor doesn't exactly
agree with him, acordlng to McKlt
rlck. He Isn't trying to run the
penitentiary, however, and so he does
what he is told. ' He does a lot of
talking, though. The aamc applies to
pen i, who appears quite disheartened.
' McKltrlck did not see him often, he
explained this morning, but there ae
ways of finding out things. The
grapevine route works even In state
prison.
visitors are allowed three days a
week, McKltrlck aald, but ho never
saw Henrietta B. Martin, "Good Gov
ernment Congress" leader, about the
place during the six months he was a
resident. And he never received nes
of her visits ti other Jackson unty
representatives at the Big House. Mrs.
Ariel B. Pomcroy, on the contraiy,
called at the penitentiary several
times.
Rumor stated that Mrs. Banks and
Mrs. rehl m-ere living In Salem, but
McKltrlck explained he had no verl
flcatlon for the report.
While he was there he had many
Jobs, the last one being that of cook
In the guards' quarters and at toe
annex. Ho Is now located on the old
John Cameron place at Sams Valley,
