GUFFEY COAL ACT UPHELD AGAIN. For the second time the Guffey Coal Act, some- times known as the “Little NRA” of the coal industry, has been upheld by the court. This time Federal Judge Elwood Hamilton of Kentucky has decided the act is constitutional, holding that Congress has the power to regulate wages and prices in any industry which Congress may conclude bears on Interstate Commerce. A short time ago a District of Columbia court also ruled in favor of the new coal law when it refused an injunction to the Carter Coal Company which would have restrained the Government from collecting a 15 per cent tax as provided for is the act. In view of the clamor raised about the consti- tutionality of the legislation of the Democratic Con- gress as a result of the adverse ruling by the Supreme Court in the case of the old NRA, the coal bill decisions are interesting and enlightening. They tend to show two things. First, that the special interests noise charging the present Administration with vio- lating the Constitution is simply ballyhoo and these interests are attempting to stand on the Constitu- tion along with everybody else because they have nothing else to stand on. Secondly, the rulings reveal that the old NRA had its good points as some of them are now being held valid in the Guffey Coal Act. The Rogers Memorial. (New York Times.) Started two weeks ago and lasting until Thanks- giving Day the collection of funds for a Will Rogers memorial, or memorials, is being undertaken. A good deal of preliminary work has been done by the Will Rogers Memorial Commission. It has enlisted official and private aid in almost all the States. It has helped to organize local agencies. By way of suggestion, it has indicated the various kinds of memorial tributes that may be worked for in an organized way. Thus the way has been prepared for the necessary effort “The stars Zacline HAPPY —BIRTHDAY The Empire extends congratula-| tions and best wishes today, their birthday anniversary, to the [ollow-l‘ Horoscope but do not compel” R ing: Benefic planetary aspects rule very b o {'strongly today, according to astrol- Geor.ge = -Gewhefl logy.

This will enable people to keep track of the financial progress of the movement, and will be a constant reminder to the friends and admirers of Will Rogers that the time is short within which the opportunity to participate in this labor of love will be open to them.

In granting the Philippine Islands their independence, according to this authority, the United States is not withdrawing from the Orient; on the contrary, with an astuteness worthy of the great Machiavelli himself, we are plan- ning to extend our influence in that part of the world. “In reality,” we learn, “it (the grant of independ- ence to the Philippines) is a great American diplomatic stroke to gain practical benefits by the surrender of are to be obtained at the expense of Japan; for what we are doing is to curry favor with the Filipinos in order to induce them to discriminate against Japan- ese imports and so to increase our trade with the islands. Many Americans will be grateful for this clear and simple explanation of our national program with respect to the Philippines. There has been a wide- spread impression in the United States that our Philippine policy has been bungling and confused. Evidently we have been mistaken; it has been par- ticularly shrewd and well calculated from the point of view of our national interest. ° It would be interesting to know whether the Japan- ese are corresondingly in the dark concerning the true intent of their government toward China.
