MRS. JARMAN HONORED1
The Douglas Parent-Teacher Asso-1

school year last night In the school j
auditorium with the usual good rep
resentation of parents present. The ]

Strictly home talent provided the

the audience.
N’. F. (iiiio.-y used for his topic,
“Thrift," dwelling upon thrift of the
mind and hodv more particularly than j
thrift of a pecuniary nature. lie;
briefly alluded to the wonderful ex
amples of such thrift that are pro
vided by the histories of some of
our great personages. He also paid
a tribute to the many evidences of
thrifty practices of the people of the
Island during 'the last 20 or 30 years.
James Christen, with the report of
the Territorial Commissioner of Edu
cation for 1922 in his hand, gave
his hearers a portion of the vital \
statistics pertaining to the schools in
Alaska, which is probably of more!
.interest to tbe Territory as a whole
•than any other matter. Some of the
facts quoted by .Mr. Christoe showed!
plaiinly the rapid growth' of the,
schools of Alaska.
J.. W. Kilburn read a carefully pre
paper paper on tho "History of the
Advance of Education in the North
west.” He mentioned many of the
Vjscitudes and triumphs encountered
in tlie path of the growth of the
schools land towns, concluding with
a short history of the founding and
building of the Douglas school.
Mrs. Gordon C. Mitchell read a
vitally interesting article entitled
“What’s the Matter With Father.” It
brought, out the fact that good fath-j
era were essential in the raising of:
good ehiildben.
Tlie musical numbers of the pro-j
gram consisted of an instrumental
trio by the Misses Rica 'Niemi, Elsie j
Bdmiston and Mamie Fpusi and se-i
lections by the High .School Orchestra
were very much, appreciated. The
closing selection by the latter showed
plainly the remarkable improvement
which lias been made by tha member*
of the orchestra.

GRAIN TRADING
FUTURE ACT IS
CONSTITUTIONAL
Supreme Court Makes Deci
sion in Important Case
—Up from Chicago.
(Continued irora rage Onfe.l
Kress ta regulate aomeithing over
which lit hail no jurisdiction
Congress promptly 'met the issue
by re-enacting all the principal regu
latory features of the law, but as
serting jurisdiction under its powei
to regulate interstate commerce. Th
Chicago 'Board i f Trade, in its own
behalf and as representative i f the
interests of the other grain ex
changes of the country, immediately
attacked the revised law, contending
that ithe exchange transactions which
it sought to supervise and regulate
aould not be made in restate com
merce by an arbitrary <1 duration b>
Congress.
Although they were unable tr
agree its to the motive for the legis
lation. (there was no divergence of
opinion among the- litigants as to its
(effect. The grain exchanges direct
ed their principal opposition to that
| provision under which ropresenLa
| tJves of farmers' cooperative assocla
I tions were made eligible to rnenrber
jship; insisting that the exchange or
ganizations wore strictly devoid of
any public interest, and should re
(moan within the control of those who
j formed them.
Price by Quotations
i The Federal government insisted
| that the price the farmers re: -rived
: for (their grain was determined by the
Quotations made upon the exch.ingts.
I which had been subject to violent
j flue-tu.uions and manipulation 1.
1 speculators, and that the quotations
| would not accurately reflect the a
j-tiial value of the products until the
| Fedt ml government ex.-rc.ise.l su!«
| vip.c.n over tl;.- frvir.sactions. TIi
j fund a mental qumt’on present'd fron:
*h->. viewpoint of the government was
whi ther the grain exchanges or Con
gross should regulate the great "cur
r; n: of comm wee" flowing between
the producing-selling and 'the pur
eh tslnig-enn smiling 'markets.
Contentions Made
The I'niterl States District Com
at Chicago delned tile Chicago Boned
| of Trade an injunc tion to restr.in tin:
onl'orcement of the act. but the So
• preme Court suspended its operations
]pending Us decision on the validity of
■the law
Communication tnrough the mails
or by interstate telegraph or tele
phono in grain future trades not
made upon a •'contract” market is
prohibited under the grain futures'
aet, which contains other provisions
described by the exchanges as aimed
to deter persons from resorting to
exchanges which are riot “contract"
■markets, the effect being, it was as
serted, to Compel the exchanges
cither to close their doors or be
come “contract” markets.
Approximately six-sevenths of all
trading 'in grain for future delivery
is conducted upon the Chicago Board
of Trade, it was stated, and the gov
ernment. was estoppod, that exchange
insisted, from asserting jurisdiction
over those transactions by the rul
ing of the courts that the purchases
and sales, many of them hedging
operations, did not constitute inter
state commerce.
