(By Associated Press. ]

LOUISVILLE, ky, April 3.-Under the
name OF the Allied Peoples party of the
United States, new political party was
formed here to-day, composed Of reform
elements opposed to the Democratic and
Republican parties.
The platform of tie new party reaftirms
the spirit of the declaration OF principles
adopted at the national conventions OF
the Peoples party in st. Louis. Okla
hama and Cincinnati, and the demand for
the iniative and referendum and gov
zernn,ent ownership of all public utilities
are its principal planks
While the Peoples party, the Fusion
Pcpulists, the Socialists, the Referendum
League, the Union Labor party. Public
Ownership party of ST. Louis, the Pro-.
hibition party and the United Christian
party, were represented on the floor of
the convention by accredited or by vol
unteer delegates only the Peoples party
and the Public Ownership party had given
their delegates any authority to form an
alliance It is the hope, however, OF the
Allied Peoples party that other reform
forces will decide to affiliate with the new
organization.
The convention was practically dom1-5
mated by the Peoples party. At times
discussions Of a lively nature took place.,
and for a time 1t seemed that the move
ment was about to fail. owing to the un-5
willingness of a number OF the Peoples
party delegates to make any concessions
to the other reform forces present. Under
the plan of organization adopted, the

with Joe A Parker as its chairman, will
remain Intact, with the addition of three
more members from Missouri. who will
have one-half a vote each, until the next
national convention. this being con-
:cession to the reform forces Of that State.
This committee will have power to call
national convention, and its -headruar-
ters will be situated wherever the chair
man desires. except that there must be
an election, which will be i'll st. Louis.
The National Committee is composer
of three mem bers from each State and
Territory. and an Executive Committee Of.
seven will sbe selected from the country.
LatSl large every four years at national

VALIDITY OF GOVERNORS VETO
TO BE TESTED IN THE COURTS
Senator Barksdale the Champion OF the Reapportonmen

in the State or Federal Courts

IL - = ( b
to for a. nlandamus to compel Mr.. Will
liams 10 issue the certified copy Of the
law.
petition for mandamus will be presented
to the Supreme Court of Appeals or tc
one of the Federal Courts. AS the Con
stitutjon of the United States and its in
depreciation enters into the. Sc, it is
probable that the case will. If not lmme.
diately, eventually pass to the Fedora
Courts and to the Supreme Court Of the
United States for final decision
"The lawyer in Newport News who will,
institute and direct the proceedings has
been selected. The validity of the Gov
ernor's veto will be thoroughly tested in
the courts. That much is certain, and can
be stated authoritatively
The ground of contest is that Federal
statutes confer upon the General Assem-
bly, sole power in the matter of congress
sional reapportionment. and the fact that
the Governor has vetoed the bill, it is
alleged, does not affect or impair it's va
lidity.
The question Of the validity of the
Governors veto continues to furnish nns
of the leading topics of discussion in leg:
islative circles. Many good lawyers
whose opinion in the matter carries
weight have expressed themselves with
more or less positiveness on one side or
the other of the question. Apart from.
the political and party features Of the
situation. the authoritative opinion Of a
court of last resort State or Federal, on
the legal and technical aspects OF the
case is awaited with interest.

they are transported, whether in original

for the use of others, except to his own
family, who shall mix with it any at.i-
fetal Coloration that causes it to look like
butter, shall be held to bea manufacturer
and shall be subject to the tax provided
by existing law; that upon oeomargarine
colored SO as to resemble butter, a tax of
ten cents a pound shall be levied, but up
on oleomargarinc not colOred the tax shall
be one-fourth of one cent per pound; that
upon adulterated butter. q tax of ten
cents a pound shall be levied; and unon
all process or renovated butter, the tax
shall be one-fourth of one per cent. per
pound The manufacturers Of process or
renovated or adulterated butter shall pay
an annual tax of $500, thefwholesale deal
ers shall pay a tax of $3.50 and the re-
tail dealers a tax of S4S per annunl.
