Make Decisions of Great Importance

CASES brought to determine the constitutionality of the Shep- • herd-Towner maternity act were dismissed for want of jurisdiction by the Supreme court, vhlch refused to pass upon the validity >f the law. Justice Sutherland, announcing the tourt's opinion that the cases could lot be considered on their merits, jointed out that the cases In which :he court hitherto had assumed jurislietlon differed from the maternity :ases, which presented only political tnd not judicial questions. The highest court. Justice Sutherund said, was without authority to jass upon abstract questions. He aslerted that a state had no right to iring suit to protect the rights of the citizens of tlie United States. The fed* •ral government must look after tlie -ights of its citizens, he said, taking die position that there was nothing .•resented to distinguish the citizens to luch an extent as to give the state a right to act for them. Referring to the claims of a taxpayer, as represented in the separate J rase brought by Harriet A. Frothingi 'iani, the justice asserted that the es- ! feet of the law upon future taxes was so remote that no bnsls was offered ' mder which any court of equity could entertain the complaint. Tlie Supreme court will not assume jurisdiction over tlie authority of an- ‘ other and co-ordinate branch of the ' government, the congress, the justice said, and will consider the constitu-

Tlie demonstration is one of the series of educational exhibits for the j staff college students, all of whom are experienced officers whose military instruction is being rounded out to iti- ; sure an adequate supply of general offi- ' vers and men with general staff qualifications. The present class will complete Its course In time to go out to the summer training camps as instructors in the higher branches of military ' work.

See Great Evil in Forest Exhaustion

INVESTIGATIONS by the Department of Agriculture show that forest exhaustion has added greatly to the cost of construction. I Lumber production has been decreasing for 13 years In the face of an unparalleled building need. Os 37 eastern and southern lumber-producing states 3d showed a decreased cut, and only one a slight Increase In 1020; while Pacific slope states all report substantial Increases, showing that the center of production Is shifting to the western states, the hist of our softJoorl reserves. tHiity years ago. after the depletion New York and Pennsylvania white ne sections, the American lumber market was drawing Its supply from tjie Great Lakes states.

The government's injunction suit to prevent dealings in sugar futures upon the New York coffee and sugar exchange was advanced by the court for hearing on November 12. At the same time it was announced that it would consider at its next term eases questioning the jurisdiction of state courts to try damage suits arlsout of interstate shipments of cattle, as raised in a ease brought by the Great Northern Railway company against the Galbraith Cattle company and other shippers of cattle from Cody, Wyo., to Seville, Mont. States cannot compel national banks to surrender to them the deposits made In the name of persons who, under the state laws, are "considered dead," the court held in a case brought by the First National bank of San Jos* against the state of California. In 1880, P. A. Campbell deposited $1,102 In the San Jose bank. Since then he has not checked upon the account nor made an addition to it. His present address is unknown. California claimed that, under twe laws passed in 1915. the money e» cheated to the state and tliat the courts of tlie state also took that view. The bank contended, however, that the national banking act and not the state laws controlled in such cases.

(’. Aug. 6.—Keeping the automobile in good repute, according to Fred 11. Caley, executive secretary of the National Mortorists A-so eiatlon, is the duty of every automobile citizen on the streets and highways, and the basis upon which the continued success of the motor car as a form of safe transportation depends. "The good will of the publie must lie won over and kept,” states Mr. Caley in a bulletin sent recently to secretaries of affiliated N. M. A. clubs throughout the country. "Every accident encourages criticism of the value of the automobile to humanity and of the desirability of motorists. It is not possible for any form of transprotaticn to be absolutely danger free, but because of an irresponsible element in the human equation automobile travel threatens to lose its standing with the community. And it m ist be stopped." Mr. Caley declares that every motorist is responsible for what his brother motorist does, and N. M. A. members are being urged to proceed on the assumption that they cannot afford to allow even one accident of recklessness or ignorance to pass unnoticed. The thing that keeps the premia ’nt secret oi’ the Nation clean is the spirit of honor, tlie conviction that in the eyes oi' the world the actions of each individual member are influential in molding public,” the N. M. A. official addd. "The touring fraternity ■of America must soon realize that the permit individual motorists to violate the comuionsense rules of sanity and decency is to put a stigma on motoring in general. "Some motorists need educated to a ..better under-tending of fheir responsibilities, and act upon the advice of the more experienced. Our rules of safety reach this class satisfactorily, but we must treat the irresponsible motorists differently. Mere words, even the most caustic phrases, do not reach him. A more vigorous policy is necessary.” Jay County Fair Aug. 27-31.
