The ruling was a victory for the nation's class one railroads, who challenged!' the measures which were passed after the supreme court invalidated earlier rail pension legislation. - Justice Bailey issued an order enjoining the government "from making any order or instituting PROVO SEEKS BETTER ROAD TO EUREKA Delegation at Eureka Meet To Ask Work Be Started At Once A large delegation from the Provo chamber of commerce will attend the meeting of the Associated Civic Clubs of Southern Utah at Eureka Saturday and Sunday, to urge strongly that no more delay be countenanced in the immediate im-mediate hard-surfacing of the highway from Santaquin to Eureka. Eu-reka. The improvement of this highway high-way up to the highest standards was urged as project No. 1 for central Utah, at a meeting of the city and county officials of this section, held in Provo several months ago. State road commissioners commis-sioners and engineers at that time promised that this project would be included if and when the new federal aid highway bill was approved ap-proved by congress. The bill was signed a few days ago by President Presi-dent Roosevelt, sweeping away the final obstacle for the project. Beesley In Charge-Heading Charge-Heading the Provo delegation will be John O.

Supreme court has held not to be within the domain do-main of the federal government." The opinion held, also that the taxing law is unconstitutional because be-cause it "throws a harder burden on low salaries than upon those that are higher, and is therefore contrary to all principles which have heretofore been followed in the levying of income taxes."

Mack placed Franklin D. Roosevelt in nomination nom-ination for the presidency today to-day and dynamited the Democratic Demo-cratic national convention into in-to an outburst of hysterical frenzy. The demonstration lasted an hour and nine minutes. Mack pronounced the words the convention had been awaiting through a week of platform drafting, draft-ing, rules fights, convention routine rou-tine and horseplay. "I give you " he shouted "Franklin Delano Roosevelt." Came an explosive roar from the jam-packed hall. From delegate dele-gate seats and crowded balconies, men and women sprang from their chairs roaring and cheering. The matie event the convention had waited for. Mack presented Mr. Roosevelt as his old school friend as the boyhood chum and manhood companion, com-panion, and now the nation's leader and the New Deal's author. "We are ready for the issue. We have ended starvation, bread lines, soup kitchens, and have brought this country through the greatest depression ever known. "Withour decks cleared for battle, bat-tle, with justice and right and progress with us, we are ready for more action under the inspired leadership of that great American whose name I give you as your candidate for president, no longer a citizen merely of one state, but a son of all 48 states, Franklin Delano Roosevelt." Delegates had been waiting for that name. Three days of talk and parading were a biuld-up toward to-ward Mack's three last words. In 48 state delegations and among the representatives of territories and possessions, men and women were ready to step up with seconding second-ing remarks. The big occasion of the convention was approaching, when the man who led the Democratic Demo-cratic party back into Washington in 1932 is voted the marshal's baton for 1936.
