POWER TO REGULATE PRICES.
Ohio Attorney General So Advises
State Legislature.

COLUMBUS. Ohio. August 1.-THE
state legislature has full powers to
regulate the prices of coal and food
stuffs in Ohio, according to an opinion
given today by Attorney General Jo-
seph McGhee to Fl. H. Timby, state
senator from AShtabula.
Many people about the state capital
took the attorney generals opinion to
foreshadow possible price regulatory
legislation before the contemplated
special session of the Ohio legislature
next winter.
In his opinion Attorney General Nc
Chez held that coal is a commodity,
a supply of which is necessary to the
public health and for the economic well
fare of the public generally. In view
of this and the fact that the United
States is at war. which is an abnormal
condition, Mr. Ghee held that the leg
islature could enact price-fixing laws
for coal. subject to certain limitations.
Senator Timby did not request an
opinion as to food price regulation. but
the attorney generals opinion held that
food and coal are in the same class, and
that food as well as coal prices could
be regulated by the legislature
