“124 URBANITES

IN HOUSE GIVE FARM BILL AID

City- Support Played Part in Chamber’s Final Passage, Too.

Times Special WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—Senators VanNuys and Minton of Indiana voted for the Farm Bill, passed by the Senate yesterday, 56 to 31. ;

By E. R. R.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15—Congressional “city slickers” apparently hope the President's words about the need for rural-urban co-opera-tion in 18Aslative affairs have been taken to heart by their rural brethren. A rural-urban analysis of the roll call vote by which the House adopted the conference report on the Administration’s crop control bill shows, -at any rate, that city dwellers did not attempt to exact revenge for the defeat of wage-and-hour legislation at the hands of country members at the last session. Almost as many votes for the Farm Bill came from representatives of urban districts as were cast by representatives of| rural districts ’

CLS. Unquestionably a great many of |

the 124 urbanites who voted for the conference report did so in the expectation that their favor would be reciprocated by the agrarians when a new wage-and-hour bill ° is

- brought before the House later in

The shelving of .the first’ wage-and-hour bill, through recommittal to the Committee on Labor took: place The conference on the farm bill was adopted by a vote of 264 to 135, showing no very substantial shift in sentiment on the part of either urban or rural representatives during the two-month interval since the original Farm Bill was passed. Such shifts as occurred, indeed— there were 25 shifts from “yea” to “nay” and precisely the same number the other way—seem to have been brought about almost entirely “by changes in the bill itself. The chief of these changes was the emasculation by the conference of the so-called “dairying-livestock amendment,” which forbade the use as pasture of lands withdrawn from

{cultivation for the purpose of col-

lecting cash benefits from the Federal Government. The Farm Bill could not have won

The only real issue raised in connection with the conference report in the House had to do with the dairying-livestock amendment. This amendment was stripped in conference of virtually all of its effectiveness. Opposition to the chafges

The nine included three members from Wisconsin, two each from Ohio and Washington, and one each from Oklahoma &nd Pennsylvania.

ee |BLACK HAS WAY

OF DISAGREEING WHILE AGREEING

Another Streamlined Opinion Hits Due Process Guards ~ For Corporation.

Times Special { WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—Justice Hugo L. Black, in half-a-dozen slashing dissents, has apparently

embarked on a one-man crusade for FoF reform .of judicial statecraft. :

| YIn some ways his doctrines are

ultra-modern and streamlined and

| in others they date back: to the

stagecoach age, gccording to some

| of the lawyers who have been fol-

lowing his course. . 5 | Yesterday Justice Black filed two

of his one-man opinions.

In‘ a Laredo (Tex. utility rate case, while supporting the majority view, he delivered a separate concurring opinion in which he restated his spectacular doctrine, first stated two weeks ago, that a Delaware corporation should have no .protection under the “due process” amendment against regulation by Texas, the state where it does business. \ Justice Black agreed with the majority opinion upholding lower gas rates ordered by a Texas state

‘commission, but he differed vigor-

ously on the Supreme Court’s power to pass on state actions. :

Subsidiary Company

“The Court should not pass on valuation questions, he said, in such cases as this where “the record discloses a strong absence of satisfactory evidence of the actual cost of the company’s properties; its funded indebtedness; actual investment of stockholders in the company; profits +n past years, and the percentage of past profits to actual investment.”

He pointed out that the Laredo

‘company was a sibsidiary of Eiectric Bond & Share, a large holding company, fand d that the Laredo company had failed, although requested in open’ court, to produce “a full list of salaries paid by its associates, affiliates, etc.” although evidence was produced to show some of them received from $65,000 to $100,000 a year. Justice Black dissented also yesterday in a case involving an appeal by the New York Life Insurance Co. from a Montana ‘court’s $20,000 judgment. The majority said the trial judge erred in refusing to direct a yerdict in favor of the company, which was resisting payment of: double indemnity in a self-inflicted death which it held was suicide. Justice Black said Montana law specifically provides for a presumption that such deaths are accidental, and that the majority de‘cision takes away from the jury, which decided against the company, “the right to decide the weight and effect” of part of the evidence. \ Two weeks ago in a Calfiornia tax case Mr. Black told the rest of the Court that it was time for it to reverse its precedents by denying to corporations the “due process” protection of the, 14th Amendment,

‘Denies Infringement

The word “persons” in that clause means natural persons; not artificial bodies such as corporations, he said, and was so understood in the early years ofthe amendment’s history. In an Indiana case. he rebuked the majority for “interfering” with the State’s effort to change its Teacher-Tenure Law. In a patent case his dissenting opinion merely stated that he believed the government had not infringed a Frenchman’s airplane patent on airplane joysticks. : His first dissent, in December, was in a utility case from Indianapolis, where he protested the mas jority’s action in sending the action back to lower courts. 3
