Challenge to take the whole subject

sociation Opposed to National Prohibi-
tion.
William Jennings Bryan, as presum-
ably the foremost prohibition advocate,
is suggested by the i-prohibitionists
as the man who should uphold the
AntiSaloon League position in open
debate. Against him the opposition
proposes to pit C. A. Windle, of Chi
cago, editor of "The Iconoclast." The
subject of the debate is given as:

Nesr York Tribune
WASHINGTON Bureau

~ tS(t&NgtoN buTedH
WASHINGTON, May 10.-That every
phase of the activity of the Depart
sment of Commences Industrial Board
which until its resignation yesterday
was responsible for the price stabilizine
effort of the government, was illegal
was indicated in an opinion given by
Attorney-G General A. Mitchell Palmer in
letter to Secretary Redfield dated
April l and made public to-day.
Secretary Redfeld yesterday men
toned and gave his Interpretation of
Attorney General Palmer's opinion as
simply meaning that the course of the
Industrial Board was without authority.
of law, but net necessarily illegal. He
said yesterday that nobody had ever
assumed that the board was created by
any legal authority, and took the po-
sition that the Attorney General had
not asserted that its purposes and pro-
posed functions were illegal. Taken
part by part, however, the conclusion
General regards the whole undertaking
as positively illegal. Summarized his
opinion is:
First-If the proposed plan of des-
ignating prices were simply an ar
rangement between private producers
it would be in violation of the anti
trust laws"
Second-The legal status of the
proposed plan would be the same if
carried out by the Industrial Board.
Third-Concerning the proposed
plan as simply a plan for arriving at
prices at which government estab-
lshments shall purchase their re-
quirements, the Attorney General
said: 81 am equally clear that the
plan is unauthorized" He declared
New-York tribune., 1919-05-11

that no fewer than thirty statutory
provisions direct that the purchase
of government supplies shall be by
competitive bidding
In view of these citations, it is held
that the Attorney General was merely
stating his position in negative in
stead of in an affirmative way. The
concluding sentence of the opinion
reads:
81 am of the opinion, therefore, that
the proposed plan of the Industrial
Board of the Department Of Commerce
viewed in any aspect, is unauthorized
by law"
In view of the Attorney Generals
opinion, it is recalled that Walker D.
Hines, Director General of Rail
ways, whose consistent opposition to
the Industrial Board finally brought it
to an end, has steadily maintained that
its programme was not only econom-
ically wrong, but actually illegal.

"A political platform would surely
nave more clearness if thought out in

II made away from it's Earring ele-
ments; it would have fewer evasious

sidered and more effectively expressed"

Repeal the Primary Law

I The Elizabethtown News saws
editorially: 1t has cost >each of
the candidates for Governor in
the recent primary from $4,000
to $4,000 to make the race. 1t
has cost other candidates for
Governor more than this. No
man of moderate means can
afford to make a race for Gov
ernor of Kentucky as long as we
have the primary election law.
The primary election law is the
rich mans law, as the poor man
is practically cut out of the run
ming except for county office.
And the principle holds true in
the matter of all the niill9f ses--
offices No man can make a
race in primary for auditor or
secretary of state or attorney
general without either spending
himself or having others spend
for him a very large proportion
of the emoluments he will re-
ceive during his four year term
should he be elected and nomi.
mated.
These facts alone are sufficient
to condemn the compulsory
primary. Year by. year the pri-
mary law is working to exclude
the poor man, the ambitious
young man from seeking State
Office in Kentucky. And this is
la great misfortune. The old
convention system had its de
fects. 1t is not impossible that
we can remedy the worst of
those defcts if we go back to the
convention system. We should
go back to it. The present law
is tragedy. We cannot get rid
of it too soon.-Louisville Post.
