Show mm RIVEE VALLEY LEAPE1 VOLUME EIGHT TREMONTON, UTAH, THURSDAY, MAY, 25, 1933 New Farm Relief WILLIAM LARSEN Act Will Soon Be Operating DIES FOLLOWING; COURT TAKES FIRM STAND 1 ON DEBT ACT Says Spoliation by Creditor or Repudiation by Farmer Not Tolerated "In the administration of the debtor relief act ruthless spoliation of the embarrassed farmer by his creditors will not be tolerated, nor will repudiation of his indebtedness by the farmer be permitted. the federal The general' court with regard to the administration of the new act was outlined in these words Saturday Johnson in granting injunctions against foreclosure of mortgages a cattie. and' property of two Utah ' faraeri.;v&v;.W' jv.v-. v Ambrose Bradshaw of Beaver county petitioned .or an injunction against Sheriff Niels Jensen of that county, the Milford Investment company and Sam Kline, its attorney ,who he alleged, ousted him from his property, against which foreclosure proceedings were pending. Bradshaw set forth that he had aDDlied to the district iocourt for relief from the hands of the sheriff, but the appeal was denied. On May 15 he took advantage of the .debtor relief act, and Frank Tolton, federal conciliator under the act, or dered the sheriff to restore Bradshaw to his property. Bradshaw alleged that the sheriff refused to comply with the order or to recognize the jurisdiction of the conciliator. Sale of Sheep Averted The other petition was filed by Wendell H. Candland of Sanpete county, who asserted he owned 828 sheep subject to a chattel mortgage held by ,ihe North Sanpete bank, under liquidation by . J. A. Malia, state bank ' commissioner. He alleged that the commissioner disregarded the proceedings of the court, advertised the sheep for sale and would have taken possession by force and sold them unless restrained by the court. Judge Johnson's action prevented the sale of Candland's sheep, and restored Bradshaw to his property, temporarily, at least. Judge Johnson declared that a conciliator must be respected as a public official, . representing the United States, adding: "I will not, in a nex parte way, view the orders of a conciliator, particularly when his orders have been jored. Before granting the injunctions, the court explained the purpose of the act, the proceedure to be gone through and the policy he would adopt in handling them. "The act provides," he said, "for a meeting of the creditors of the farmer and, if possible, a plan worked out between the creditors and the farmer for a composition of his debts or an extension of time for payment, or both. Following this is a hearing by the court upon application for con firmation of any such agreement entered into. "It is evident that congress, in passing the act, intended that the conciliator should not be a mere figurehead. It was intended by the act that he should take a very active and responsible part in respect to the terms and conditions of the composition, or extension proposal, or both, reported to the court for confirmation. "Without attempting to forecast the, holding of the supreme court of the United States as respects the constitutionality of the act, it is opportune to say that this court shall assume the act to be constitutional and proceed to administer its provision and in the spirit of its evident purpose. And it is likewise an opportune time to indicate the character of such administration. '"" - ' ' Under Court Jurisdiction CfTh act provides that the filing of a J petition; shall subject the farmer and his property, wherever located, to the extensive jurisdiction of the court. The arm of the court with respect to the farmers pro'perty is the conciliator.

Curiously enough) the best known portion of section it the currency inflation does not deal directly with the farmer at all. Two billion dollars will be made available for a vast program of farm mortgage financing. The Secretary of Agriculture has authority to . boost farm prices, limit production and release the food and textile industries from law prohibitions. He will soon call a conference of producers, handlers and others interested in the basic commodities wheat cotton, 'corn hogs, ice, tobacco and milk products. : Later on commodity councils will be formed, and movements launched seeking to rehabilitate agriculture. On signing the bill the President issued a special public message urging a halt on all farm mortgage foreclosures until the machinery can be set up for the refinancing project. A similar message on town and city mortgages is expected later. The President said that, when the act gets into operation, the holders of farm mortgages will have the privilege of exchanging them for Federal Land Bank brnds, upon which interest payments wiJT'uB guaranteed by the Federal government.

The home club will try to redeem themselves and show the local fans that they can play baseball although the score of last Sunday's game does not seem to indicate that they can. Fans who see this game will probably get a thrill out of watching some of the players who used to play in the old northern Utah league which saw some of. the fastest ball in the Rocky Mountains. Either Hunsaker of Gardner will probably oppose Mclvor of Smithfield on the mound. Mclvor of Smithfield was barred from the farm bureau league because he was too fast for the other teams, therefore, this game will probably turn out to be a pitcher's duel with Tremonton, we hope, emerging victorious.
