Show THE RICH COUNTY REAPER. RANDOLPH. UTAH Sally Sez CUDRENT EVENTS PASS IN REVIEW SUPREME COURT INVALIDATES NRA AND FRAZIER-LEMKFARM MORTGAGE ACT. E ' By EDWARD W. PICKARD . Western Newspaper Union. unanimous decisions of the Court of the United States shook the New Deal to its very foundations. In the first and most important, read by Chief Justice Hughes the heart was cut out of the NRA, for the court ruled that the entire code structure of the act was invalid, the code making provisions being an unconstitutional delegation by congress of its authority to legislate to persons not connected with the governments legislative functions. By the ruling the exercise of congressional powers over commerce was definitely restricted to Interstate commerce, or to such activities as have a provable direct connection with interstate commerce. The court held that no economic emergency could justify the breaking down of the limitations upon federal authority as prescribed by the Constitution or of those powers reserved to the state through the failure of the Constitution to place them elsewhere. Next in importance was the decision read by Justice Brandeis, holding un- farm constitutional the mortgage moratorium .act, This law provided for a five year moratorium in the case of collapse of efforts to scale down a farmers debts to a figure that would enable him to pay off his mortgage. The court held that under the Fifth amendment to the Constitution private property could not be taken without just compensation. There has been no previous instance, the court said, where a mortgage was forced to relinquish property to a mortgagor free of lien unless the debt was paid in full In the third decision President Roosevelts dismissal of the late William E. Humphrey from the federal trade commission was held Illegal because the President did not remove Mr. Humphrey for the statutory grounds of Inefficiency, neglect of duty or malfeasance In office, but, as the President stated, because their minds did not meet upon the policies or administration of the commission.

Donald Richberg, chairman of the national Industrial recovery board, after a White House conference, Issued a statement saying that all methods of compulsory enforcement of the codes will be Immediately suspended. He added that the administration now faced the problem of maintaining the gains which have been made in the last two years, and expressed the hope that employers would voluntarily maintain fair standards of commercial and labor relations. Senator Pat Harrison said he believed congress should proceed rapidly with the enactment of appropriate legislation to continue NRA in some form, and Senator Robinson thought it would not be difficult to provide for new codes to prevent unfair trade practices. The question of the constitutionality of the Wagner labor disputes bill, passed by the senate, was raised by the NRA decision. The opinion was widely expressed that collective bargaining now cannot be enforced in any business enterprise by federal statute. In the senate demands were voiced to recommit to the committee on agriculture the amendments strengthening the AAA. Senator W. E. Borah said that the NRA decision clearly raises the question of the validity of much AAA procedure. THERE Hus bargain one way fare Is in effect front Salt Lake Gty and Ogden.

There has been a lot of talk about Mr. Farleys alleged ambition to be governor of New York. Melvin C. Eaton, Republican state chairman, dares him to run for that position. In a speech at Syracuse, Mr. Eaton said: For years, now, Mr. Farley has fancied himself as a candidate for governor of New York. He has repeatedly told his very close associates that I he will run when the time is ripe. Demobe to the Mr. Farley challenge cratic candidate for governor in 1930.

First the forty planes that had taken part in the maneuvers returned and the entire armada of 225 planes participated in an aerial review. Then the vessels of the fleet returned and moved to Pearl Harbor, the great naval base, which they all entered in a crucial test of the harbors capacity as an anchorage. The navys largest submarines were with the battleships and cruisers, and there were 700 marines on the target ship Utah. Navy Memorial day in Japan, the thirtieth anniversary of Admiral Togos destruction of the Russian fleet, brought forth a pamphlet from the navys propaganda bureau which made significaut allusions to the United States.
