STATES AMENDMENT
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Kyle Price Declares 1t De-
prives Alabama of Equal
Representation

Washington, August 31.-(Special.)---
Kyle B. Price contributed an article
to the Washington Post of today in
which he contends that the seventeenth
amendment Is unconstitutional on the
grounds that it deprives Alabama of
equal representation in the Senate.
Among other things he says: The
last clause of article V provides that
no state, without its consent, shall be
deprived of equal suffrage in the Sem
ate. Now IL the seventeenth amend
ment had declared, that, in the case of
a vacancy a successor should not be
allowed to qualify under so days from
the death or resignation % member 1t
would be seen at once that 1t was un-
constitutional To comply with sec
tion 2 of the amendment as applies TO
the Clayton case, it would just as ef-
fectively deprive the seat of Alabama
of equal suffrage in the Senate for
more than so days as if the amendment
had so declared in specific words.
For this reason there are 20 va
cancies in the Alabama legislature, and
elections would have to- be called in
each of these cases before the legisla-
ture could be convened; SO days would
be consumed in the call of these cleo
tions alone and the remainder of the
time taken up beforE the vacancy
could be filled would consume more
than so days. Hence a failure on the
part of the Senate to allow Mr.. Clay
ton to take his seat might involve
the question of constitutionality of the
seventeenth amendment"
The friends of Representative Webb
of North Carolina are also hard at
work trying to convince senators that
Representative Clayton is entitled to
his seat. Mr.. Webb is the ranking DEM
ocratic member of the House judiciary
committee and in the event Mr.. Clay
ton was seated he would become chair
man of the powerful committee
The chairmanship of the judiciary
committee of the House is no incon-
sequential office. 1t is one of the most
important committees of the House and
will be especially in the lirnelight dur
ing the present administration when
the proposed antitrust laws are put
before Congress.
