BRANDEIS ARGUES FOR
A PRICE FIXING LAW
House Committee Members Not
Much Impressed by BOS-
tOnian'S Words.

WAsIItNGToS. Jan. 9--Iouis =. Bran
deis OF Boston appeared to-day before tho
House Committee on Interstate and For
eign Commerce In advocacy OF a bill in
troduced by Representative Stevens OF
New Hampshire to permit manufacturers
Of standard articles to fix the price at
which their articles must be sold by the
retailer. This legislation. Mr.. Brandels
said was necessary because OF the United
States Supreme Courts decision that Il
was contrary to the public policy and a
restraint ot trade to permit manufacturers
of such articles TO fix prices.
Mr.. Brandeis argued that the decision
was inadvertent" and "by a vote OF 5 to
~" that every manufacturer had n right
to fix the prices OF his articles. and that
except for this decision the right would
still exist. Mr., Brandeis said that he APP
peared as a Representative of the public 4"
The measure Is also urged by the America
Fair Trade League OF New York. A ma
jority OF the committee appeared TO be
opposed to the measure.
Every instinct OF a gentleman" said
Mr.. Brandeis, and every instinct OF COM
mon decency is against cutthroat COMPETE
ton. Ii Is a snide thing for q manufac-
turer To lower the price OF a staple article
! in one community and maintain 1t in
others"
what effect will this proposed measure
have on the cost Of living" Mr.. Brandeis
was asked,
/ practically none" he responded.
1T looks To me-" commented Repre-
sentative Adamson, that your bill ought
to be entitled AN act to compel profits for
the middeman'"
4 The right OF a manufacturer 10 fix the
price OF his product is recognized In Mas
sachusetts and in other States and In prac.
tically every state which has leglslated or
this subject" said Mr. Brandeis

SUFFRAGISTS SURE

BallOting on Tuesday VIII
Crown so Years Of Work

EXPECT BOOM TO RESULT

WAsHiNGToN, Jan. 9--Next Tuesday
promises to be a historic date in the an
mails OF the suffrage movement in the
United States The suffragists then for
the first time in the sixty years OF their
campalgn will have succeeded In inject
ing their proposal for a Federal amend
ment enfranohising their sex into a SGT
debate in the House OF Representa-
tives
whether they win or lose they seem in
clined to regard the AFFAIR as significant.
They have had their amendment debated
In the Senate and voted down, but this
will be the first time they have ever sue
ceeded In forcing the House 20 roll call
upon their proposal after trying for
forty-nine years.
Two factors were OF great assistance
To the suffragists. one was that the
Western half OF the country is now
suffrage" and that the suffrage states
have sixty-stven members ~ the lower
house. This is far from being the two
thirds majority necessary to pass pro-
posed amendment to the Federal Consti-
tuition. but 1t Is enough to make the Issue
political rather than academi,. The sec
ond was the pressure which the Ma
tionai American Woman Suffrage As
ISOLATION has brought To bear upon the
House.
This pressure has been directed for the
last two years By Ruth Hanna McCor-
mick, daughter OF the late Mark Hanna,
who has been serving as chairman of the
Congressional committee OF the associa
ton with permanent headquarters in
Washington. She has appealed TO the
women in the various districts until. Bit

House Bill No. 50

If House Bill jo the educational bill, proposes any improvement in educational system war rantng the expense of printing that long bill to say nothing of the consumption of the valuable time of the legislature in reading and discussing it, It IS mol readily apparent. It contemplates no advances and absolutely no conservation of the school moneys which now are so wofuy wasted they have been in ,he past Under this bill the schools would be left just as they are now, far economy and effl- ciency are concerned. Trustees are left with uh- be apportioned their districts under our ridic- bill rather encourages the dissipation of the funds l,y a provision expressly permitting the expenditure tor fixtures and appliances of any part of the ap- portionment that may remain after the necessary expenses of the district have been met, such IS teachers salaries and expenses incident to the con- duct of the schools
 Almost ostentatiousy the bill refrans from the imposition of any restrictions upon those who are charged with the expenditure of the funds
 The senate has before it bills intended to infect some business like management into the pub lie school system by holding some central authority responsible for the expenditure of the school funds which s the greatest as well the least guarded of all the money extracted from the taxpayers Some measure of this kind will undoubtedly pass that body and it is to hoped that the house will ae- ,uesce in to the end that school fund of Ari- zona may no longer be preyed upon.
 It is perhaps too late hope that there may be an adoption of modern educational coce this year, but it is not too late to shut down the waste gates through which the school money mas been flowing

 Because the canal is open, and it is possible to haul grain from great distance inland to the Pa cifc terminals and there put it ships for eastern and European ports cheaper than it be taken by rail.
 This all adds the bound traffic of the railroads. As time more development of the canals possibilities the Pacific ports will draw and more from inland; they will reach farther and farther east, and the railroads will profit.

CAMPBELL |S
 NUT CANDIDATE
One of Three Whose Peti- tion for City Commits sioner Passed Muster, An nounces Not Aspirant and Desires to Withdraw

Clinton c. Campbell. one of the three whose petitions made of them 1 candidates for the nomination for the city commission, yesterday made an effort to have his name with drawn and not be given place upon i the primary ballot. He filed with 1 City Clerk Thomas a formal with d1awal, but as the law requires that withdrawals shall be made not less I primary election, it will not be pos sible for the city clerk to permit the issuance of the primary ballots without the name of Campbell appear | ing thereon. However, MT. Campbell i is announcing widely his determina- | tion not to be a candidate for the office. if he should be elected On ] the other hand those of his friends who succeeded in filing a petition ill his behalf are determined that he not only be elected but that he will serve.
 As for being a candidate for the office of city commission, there is nothing doing said Mi. Campbell last evening. T was in California al the time q petition was circulated IT. my l behalf It was circulated without my llonwledge or authorization. I do not aspire to the city commission and if elected would probably not be on hand to serve. l spend too much time in California to be able to fill the duties required of a commissioner If it is legally impossible for me to have my name omitted from the ballot l can at least take this means know that l am not a candidate and that 1 had no knowledge thar my name was being considered"
 There are but TWO other eligible candidates George N. MacBean ana c. T. Richey, for the two offices of city commissioner to be filled at the general election. With Campbell oEt of the running, the nominating oi these two at the primaries and their
 election at the general election, would be but perfunctory. However friends
 Of Campbell say they are going .o work for him whether he desires is
 or not. His name of course will ap pear upon the primary ballot, and will
 also be upon the ballot of the general
 election should he receive but I
 single vote at the primary election.
 Another unique situation has arisen
 by which it is said to be possible
 tn elect two commissioners at the
 primary election. Should two of the
 three whose names will appear upon
 the primary ballet. each secure num-
 her of votes representing a majority
 of the total number of ballots cast
 at the primaries. they would under
 the election law be declared elected.
 So far as the election of commission
 CTS was then concerned there would
 be no need of a genera. election.
