As a result of dispute concerning
with whom the political parties shall
file their tickets and who is supposed
10 have the ballots prepared the
Clerk Of the Peace or the Department
Of Elections. it is likely that Attor-
ney-Genoral Josiah o. Wolcott will
be asked to interpret the apparent
conflict between the new ballot law
and the old election law.
The Department of Elections claim
this authority 80 far as municipal
elections arc concerned. The now
ballot law. however, sets forth that
tickets shall be filed with the Clerk
Of Peace who shall have the ballots
prepared. The Department OF Eiec-
tions claims It is acting under an
opinion received from City Solicitor
Daniel o. Hastings, though Clerk Of
Peace Harry A. Brown will most like
ly ask the Attorney General for an
opinion.
To be on the safe side until the

trade treaties with foreign countries,
taxing Philippine imports, eXempting
exports to Porto Rico from taxation,
providing for retaliatory duties
against merchandise of countries
which tax similar American mer-
chandise, the clause providing that
foreign imports be labeled, and the
section allowing a rebate, or subsidy,
