MAY ASK HOOVER
10 SETTLE ROW
ON FARM RELIEF
Republican Leaders In Con-'
^ress Have Many Different
Opinions
INVOLVE TARIFF REVISION
Washington, -Nov. 27.? H erbcrt
Hoover may be called upon by some
CongVessional leaders to take a hand
in the controversy raging at. the
Capitol as to whether farm relief
shall be disposed of at this' approach
ing .short session or. await the leisure
of the extra session promised by the
President-elect if action is not now
Jnrthnnming ? ? ? ?_
Returning from his- South. American
cruise probably in January, it appears
likely that Mr. Hoover will find hipi
self in this unique. if not embarrass
ing. position while Calvin Coolidge is
still at Uie helm .
Coolidge Can't Decide
From the White House word came
today that Mr. Coolidge had beeri un-:
able to decide what the majority
opinion of the wrangling Congression
al leaders appeared to be on this
question. He feels tltat agreement on
a farm bill by members of Congress
and others interested in the legisla
tion is the first prerequisite to im
mediate action. ? : ?
And this' is \t;hat ? ic Worrying Con
gressional -InflHprs Thpv .feel jhfct.
Hoover should indicate his views on
-the ' ?ririllr"y'* '-iimmirtef
before any serious attempt is made to
capture, time in the ihort session tor
consideration of this subject
Involved in the .question of an ex
tra session and farm relief is the
prob'em of tariff revision There
seems to .1)? general unanimit\ th*t
there should be tariff revisKm---and
that "this revision constitutes a part
cf an v farm relief program ? but there
are those who want an emergency
tarilf act* passed; at the short session,
others feel it should be taken up in
an extra session of the new Congress
next Spring. Some, ihowever. say that
an extra session for this question early
Vefct Fall would b" stion ejaoiigh and
still others feel tariff revision can take
place at the next regular session a
year hence. . -

MOUNTAIN PARK ACT
IS FULLY UPHELD BY

All Issues liaised In Suit Are

SEVERAL OPINIONS GIVEN
Raleigh. NOV.. 21 . ^Constitutionality
of the act creating the Oreat Smoky

lars by the state ol . North Carolina
was upheld in every particular by the

down here' today.
It is subject to grave doubt wheth
er damage is done in the sense of
taking- property by r.rresling the de
struction of primitive forests until
the defendant can decide whether ic ?
will undertake, to. appropriate the land
covered by such . forests,"' Justice
Adams said in regard to the argu
ment of W. H. YarborOugh. the ^lain
tiff, that UUi prnpivipri rnnrif-mtifflfin
of mountain lands was in violation of
ths ' due frfoceSS of law" provisions ot
the federal and state constiutions,
One by one Justice .Adams took up
the objections raised by the plaintiff
' n teat fftw ? brought' u^.ainr.t. ? ?
North Carolina park commission, un
til he torched the climax with the as
sertion that even if the purpose of
the proposed park "is primarily aes
thetic," still it is within the power of
_the legislature to establish It. ? . ?
Indeed, the question of. what can
. ?titutes a "public . purpose" has be
come largely theoretical m this day
When parks, playgrounds and recrea
tion centers, are maintained- by cities."
said justice ? Adams.
