The Governor in. his message
called attention to the import
ance of the passage of a corrupt
practice act. Just what will be
done along this line is not yet re-
vealed, but there is one thing
certain, without effective restric-
tion we had better have the pri-
mary law wiped out, and let the
political parties pursue the course
deemed most expedient for the
selection of party nominees.
The Democratic party not only
pledged itself to the enactment
of State primary law, but to a
corrupt practice act as well.
There is absolutely no reason
why the State should bear the
expense of selecting party nom
inees for State offices, and per-
NIT frauds to flourish, and unless
the present Legislature wakes up
to the real situation, there will
be wide discomfort and demands
for the repeal Of the primary
law. The people of this State
are demanding honest politica!
living. The time has passed
gone forever, we hope, when
victories secured through decep-
tion and frauds will meet party
approval. The spirit, the intent
Of the primary, certainly is
meant to put all political aspi-
rants on the same equal footing,
to prevent what is known as COM
bines and to keep nominations
from going to the highest bid |
der. To all of this we most heart !
lily subscribe, but the fact is, !
that, so far, our primary law has
not shut out frauds nor enabled |
political parties to secure better
men than was done under party |
conventions or party primaries.
If the primary law is to be of
real worth, punishment of the
severest order must be inflicted
for disreputable methods and
means employed to gain nomina-
tions. The use Of money and
liquor has long been employed by
corrupt politicians to advance
their interests and is no more
powerful or disreputable in a
convention than under the State
primary. In view of the fact |
that in many counties gross
frauds were alleged last August,
that political parties were there
by demoralized it seems that our |
law makers-Democratic .Legis- |
lators-should give the people |
exactly what the party pledged
in its last State platform to pre-
vent such action or to punish |
those who engage in it. The |
party is pledged and the gov
ernor calls for its fulfllment. |
Not only the Governor, but ev-
cry honest man in the state will
endorse any law to reduce crime
and debauehery in our primaries
and elections.

TAX AMENDMENT HELD INVALID.

property for purposes of tax
alton was declared invalid by the
Court of Appeals this morning,
affirming the Franklin Circuit
Court.
This suit was brought by Sen
ator G. E. Speer, of Frankfort
who secured an injunction re-
straining the Governor from pro-
claiming the abolition of the
amentment.
After reciting the provision of
the Constitution requiring publ
cation of notices of the election
not less than ninety days before
the election at which the amend
ment is submitted, and the fail
ure of the Secretary of State to
advertise the election at the prop
er time, the court said, in an
opinlby Chief Justice Hobson:
This court had held before
the adoption of the present Con-
stitution that all the provisions
of a Constitution are mandatory.
The Constitution must be pre-
sumed to have been adopted
with this understanding of it's
meaning. Since the adoption of
the Constitution the court has
steadily maintained the same
rule.
INTENDED TO BE MANDATORY.
There could have been nc
reason for inserting in the Con-
stitution the length of time for
which the publication of the pro-
posed amendment must be made
unless it was intended to be man.
datory, for otherwise there was
no reason for not leaving the
whole matter to the Legislature.
1--WE cannot assent to the con-
clusion that the notices in the
newspapers calling attention to
the failure of the Secretary of
State to make the publication re-
quired by the constitution can
take the place of the publication
itself.
But for the provision of the
Constitution on the subject it
could only be amended by con-
vention called for this purpose.
The trainers of the Constitution
evidently intended to restrict
amendment. The constitution
may be set aside by revolution,
but it can be amended only in
the way it provides.
1t is argued that this conclu-
sion puts it in the power of the
Secretary of State to defeat the
will of the people and prevent an
amendment to the Constitution;
but the Secretary of State is an
officer created by the Constitu-
tion. When the Constitution has
provided that it may be amended
only by the agencies it selects
for that purpose, to amend the
Constitution in any other way is
to ignore its provisions. The
Nct that a majority voted for
the amendment, unless the vote
was taken as provided by the
Constitution, is not sufficient to
make a change in that instru-
ment."
