WASHINGTON. Aug. 1. Bright
young legalltes of the new deal have
made a confidential survey of su-
preme court
opinion on the
farm program.
They wanted to
find out what to
expect when the
proce a s 1 n g tax
cases reach the
court In the fall.
The result was
disheartening.
They concluded
that it Is a reas
onable expecta
tion that the
court will hold PAI L MALLON
the farm program unconstitutional
(by r close vote, meaning 6 to 3 or
6 to 4).
Independent legal authorities close
to the court figure that the decision
will not even be close. They expect
a 0 to 0 decision against the original
net, and do not believe that the AAA
amendments now being passed by
conprrss have changed that prospect
materially.
These forecasts are not based on
personal polls of the Justices. Any
one who tried that would go to Jail
for contempt. But you need not at
tenfpt tt. Jf you will first analyze the
published opinions of the Justices in
previous cases involving the same is
sues during the last fifteen years.
These show that even tne new aeai s
best legal friends on the court have
subscribed to views about interstate
commerce and taxation which deny
the legal theory on which the pro
cessing taxes are based.
The AAA amendments have edged
around the objection of delegating
authority, but they have not touched
the power to tax one etass-of citizens
for the exclusive benefit of another,
or the Boston circuit court opinion
on interstate commerce. The reason
is they cannot.
This means that the AAA will
probably go the way of the NRA be

now serving a life term in the state

The report was filed tn connection

Ralph E. Moody, deputy attorney

that the trial was unfair. Tt was in-

L. of N. Council Holds Pri

Issue Fifth Arbitrator to
Be Picked.
(Copyright, IMS, by the Associated
Press)
O EN EVA. Aug. a. (AP) Premier
Lava of France announced late to
day at a surprise meeting of the
League of Nations council that Italy,
Great Britain and France had agreed
to the resumption of arbitration of
the dispute between Italy and Ethi
opia. The "big three" agreed that a fifth
arbitrator should be added to the
two representatives of each nation,
who, at present, constitute the Italo
Ethloplan conciliation commission.
Laval announced that, if the arbi
tration falls, the problem will be re
turned to the League of Nations.
According to league officials, he
added that England, France and Italy
would Initiate the negotiations on the
basis of their 1906 treaty.
The surprise session met Immedi
ately after a cocktail party for the
council members at the home of J.
A. C. Avenold, secretary-general of
the league.
The secret session was held after
word had been given out that both
Italy end Ethiopia had rejected a
Franco-Britain formula for settlement
of their dispute.
Premier Mussolint turned down the
formula on the grounds that there
should be no time limit for the pro
jected political negotiations among
France. Great Britain and Italy.
The British want them ended some
time In September while the assembly
and council of the league are In regu
lar session. This would enable the
British to demand a league examina
tion of all aspects of the conflict if
the political consultations collapse.
Strong Indications were seen that
the British were stiffening their at
titude and would decline to accept
the modifications of the formula.
The Ethiopians were represented as
opposed to the formula on the
grounds that they would not be full
fledged participants in the proposed
conference to decide thlr state In the
conflict with Italy.
It was reported in league circles
that Tecle Hawarlate. the Ethiopian
delegate, told Premier Laval of France
and Eden of Oreat Britain : "We
would rather be murdered than com
mit suicide."

GRANTS PASS. Aug. 3. (AP) An
appeal to the Interstate commerce
commission from Its examiner's pre
liminary disapproval of the Oold
coast railway's petitions to build Its
railroad down the Rogue River from
Lei snd to Port Orford was filed wl?n
the I. C. C. In Washington Tues

in Grants Pass from Senator Charts
L. McNary In Washington.
The disapproval waa recommended
by .the I. C. C. special examiner
but has not been acted upon by the
commission Itself. The examiner, J.
S. Prltchard, held that there was
insufficient proof of public demand
for the line, which la proposed to
link the upper Rogue River valley
with ocean transportation and tap
the timber and mineral resources of
the lower Rogue river.
If the preliminary disapproval can
be overcome and the certificate or
public convenience and necessity for
the line's construction secured, the
road's construction Is expected to
begin In December with between 1000
and 2000 men employed in five
camps along the rail survey between
Lei and and the port terminal.
