ported as six inches over the
county, was slightly deeper in this
locality. The snow- of five years
ago, December 17, 1930. was
about 17 inches here; and that of
the morning of March 1,1927, was
about 14 or 15 here, 17 in Greens

biggest snows of a quarter of a
century.

It Is said. i and the bridge washed away by the'

a constitutional amendment t&t
night came from Democratic con
gressional quarters.
Senator Bankhead, Democrat
Alabama, an agricultural leader,
asserted that “as a lawyer I
think that the Supreme court
opinion is totally unsound.” He
added, he would proceed on the
sssumptipn that the ' Bankhead
cotton control act, which' also is
before the court, likewise would
be declared invalid.
Senator Costigan, Democrat
Colorado, declared simultaneous
ly that “unless convinced that
other early action will more defi
nitely serve the public good” he
would demand an early hearing
on the constitutional amendment
he prepared last year soon after
the highest court bad held the
N'RA unconstitutional.
“The constitution,’’ Costigan
said, contingently, “should be
promptly, adequately and effec
tively amended to permit the na
tion to obtain the objectives of
national action when states are
not able to do so effectively.”
His amendment as now drawn
right to regulate “industry, busl-
also would give Congress the
ness, trade, and commerce to pre
vent unfair methods and prac- j
tices therein,” and to fix hours,
minimum wages and conditions
of labor.
The statements by Costigan
and Bankhead coincided with ex-

In his direct attack on the AA.1
decieion, Bankhead, ,Who was cc-
autbor of the Mt to provide cois-
trol of cotton production through
a tax on all cotton ginned over A
set quota, said:
“The ebuft has assumed t)M!
right to review and reject appro;

whether for general welfare or
otherwise. It did not say Con
gress did not have the right to
levy a processing tax, hot that
Congrees could not appropriate
money for the purposes set up in
the agricultural adjustment act.”
The senator termed Justice
Roberts’ opinion “as fine a politi
cal stump speech as I have ever
heard on what Congress might
do if they lot us do this.’’ He
said Justice Stone’s dissenting
opinion was a “legal classic, su
staining the charter rights of
Congress in handling the nation's
purse.”
