Supreme Court rules HO L A invalid for federal control claim
The unanimous decision holds that federal incorporation of building and loan associations cannot be forced within a state's boundaries when opposed by the state. Wisconsin’s rights are protected as Milwaukee associations chartered as state corporations remain under state control, with coexistence of federal and state groups possible under noninvasive circumstances. The ruling signals limits on federal power over state affairs and notes ongoing debates tied to the AAA.

Solicitor General Reed argued processing taxes fund farmers’ crop controls as revenue, not regulation, while Justices Brandeis and Stone pressed for constitutional protection.

Miss Cecelia Robinson Nominee for County Official Post
The Douglas county board of commissioners nominated Miss Cecelia Robinson to fill the county poor commissioner and case supervisor role permanently after previous nominees were rejected by KERC for lack of qualifications. Robinson had served as a case worker and was temporarily approved when regulations required a college degree and at least one year of case work. Separately, leases totaling about 24,000 acres near Pleasant Grove and between Kanwaka Stull and Big Springs are being taken by a local company led by Chris Schaake with Simon and Sam Hurwitz to promote oil and gas drilling by a larger out-of-state corporation. Drilling could start soon with projections to reach 4,590 feet, potentially costing up to 300,000, using a royalty-based model with no local capital.
