STATE BASIS DESIRED
FOR ELECTION SYSTEM
Folk Gives Views on Presidential
Primaries Before Common
Counsel Club.
SECRETARY WILSON A SPEAKER

Organization of a Presidential primary
system on a State basis is the only plan
for such a primary likely to prove ac-
ceptable to the people OF the country, in
the opinion of former Gov. Joseph w.
Folk, of Missouri, Solicitor OF the State
Department. Mr. Folk yesterday deliv-
cred a speech on the subject of the Pres
idential primary at a luncheon of the
Common Counsel Club. of which he Is
president. Members OF the Cabinet, the
House and Senate. and government Off
Gals were present Mr.. Folk said:
THE opposition to the suggestion of
Presidential preference primaries has
been in a large measure based upon the
theory that the Presidential primary sys-
TEN would interfere with the rights of
the States to regulate and conduct their
own elections
There are always questions of detail
in realizing upon any plan of progress,
and there naturally are some differences
of opinion between those who would have
a nationwide primary. the nomination to
be made by a majority or plurality in
the nation, and those who advocate the
State plan.
For my part, think the latter prefer
able, and believe 1t would operate more
There should be little difi-
Guilty in working out such a system. and
an amendment to the Constitution, II
seems, would not be required to carry
this plan into effect"

of Labor Wilson, who spoke on Labor"

FOREICN-BUlLT YACHT
TAX Is PROTESTED
Counsel for Several Millionairss Tell
United States Supreme Cosrt
Il l. Uneonstitutional.

Counsel for James Gordon Bennett and
o her American millionaire owners of for
eign-built yachts. yesterday argued in the
Supreme Court that the tax imposed on
81 h yachts by the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law should be declared unconstitutional
Among the men interested are Roy A.
Rainey. Cornelius H c. Billings. Mrs.
Harriet Goelet, and II. Clay Pierce. Al
fred X. Vanderbilt Is one OF the owners
of such yachts. but he did not carry his
case to the high court
The annual tax paid by Bennett
amounts to $1,000: by Mrs Goelet. $1,000
and by Rainey, $500. This tax was re-
pealed by the Underwood tariff law and
is not now in effect The real reason
underlying the suit Is said TO have been
that the yacht owners were 'joshed'' by
their friends who owned American-built
yachts, and In a spirit of pique started
legal proceedings to escape payment Of
the tax.
William E. Guthrie and c. Andrade, jr..
OF New York. argued for the yachtmen.
Mr.. Guthrie contended that Congress did
not have the power. and never intended.
to impose a tax on foreign-built yachts
which were largely maintained In foreign
waters. Mr.. Andrade argued that the
tax was In conflict with the British
treaty of 1915. which specially excepted
British-built yachts from the imposition
OF such a tax. Solicitor General Davis
argued for the government.

'M'REYNOLDS AND
ELLIOTT CONFER
Reorganization Of New Haven
Railroad Is Discussed
at Length.
NO DEFINITE STATEMENT


President Howard Elliott of the New
raven road, and Attorney General Nc
Reynolds had a conference lasting an hour
on the general provisions of an agree
ment Tor the reorganization OF the road.
Both the Attorney General and Mr.. Ell
should be made with regard to the con.
ference President Elliott will remain In
washington until Friday and will hold
other conferences at the Department Of
Justice with the Attorney General and
with Special Counsel Jesse ID. Adkins and
Thomas w. Gregory, who have been re-
tained by the government to investigate
the affairs OF the New Haven road and
to prepare a suit In equity against that
corporation, should the present negotia-
tons fail Of contamination.
The most significant statement made by
either Of the negotiating parties yester-
day came from the Attorney General. who
admitted he had not been disappointed by
anything that occurred at the conference.
The Attorney General said the discus
sion had been devoted entirely to the
general aspects of the agreement which
must be reached in order to prevent the
filing OF suit In equity by the govern
ment- This was regarded as a definite
indication that no tentative draft of the
proposed agreement has been made. az
was reported here yesterday.
Practically fn Accord.
There are reasons for believing, how
ever, that such a draft of an agreement
viii be made before President Elliott
leaves Washington this week, and that
this draft will be used as basis for
further negotiations.
Although no tangible evidence has been
made public on which to justify the state
ment that the New Haven Road has
agreed to the governments demands. the
belief Is widespread that the two negoti-
ating parties are substantially in accord.
The situation. II is believed. has not
been sufficiently clarified as to matters
OF detail to preclude the possibility or
at least a temporary deadlock at later
stages OF the negotiations. The evolution
OF a final agreement, II Is recognized, in

changes by correspondents which have
occurred since the recent meeting of the

Separation from Department

Discussed.

Senator Robinson Believes His Plan
Would Check Abuses from Which
Red Men Suffer.

Complete reorganization of Indian
anairs, with the separation of the In
dian Bureau from the Department OF
The Interior, may be established dur
Ing the present Congress. as result
Of the failure 10 check the many abuses
under which the Indians are suffering.
Senator Robinson, OF Arkansas, al
ready has filed a bill to divorce the In
dams from the Interior Department
and to create what practically will be
q department OF Indian affairs. Dur
Ing the period when the Senate IL watt
Ing for the House to dispose Of the

his bill to passage through the Sem

dian service into a separate depart
ment u IS hoped to make II more re-
sponsive and more responsible to the
general public.
Arguments I'm Its Favor.

In favor of the Robinson plan. The
Indians own property worth $1,000. o80.-
oee. Including 100000 acres of OIL
producing lands. great timber and coal
areas, and cattle worth upwards of
SIS. 900, 900. 1t is urged that the In
terror Department Is waterlogged with
Its many branches of the public serv-
Ice, and that the Indians will have
better chance for justice and fair treat
ment under a department devoted
solely 10 the administration OF their
affairs.
The reorganized civil commission on
Indian affairs will meet in Washington
the first week of February and take up
a number OF important matters relating
to Indian administration The commits
sion will check up on the abuses disclosed
by the recent Congressional lnvestiga-

question of why the conditions disclosed
