THE EMERGENCY ARGUMENT.

A friend of The Herald asks II at
any time any reasons have been ad-
vanced in support Of the contention
that the legislature, at it's late extra
session, could cause its enactments to
take effect within ten days, or within
any other period this side of July 1,
1920, without o-thirds vote stipu-
lated in the constitution.
The same question has occurred to
The Herald, and every statement
which seemed to have a bearing on
the subject has been studied. AS a
result Of this research we have been
able to find but one argument pre-
sented, and this is it:
The constitutional provision
relating to the emergency clause
is intended to apply to regular
sessions only. AS the holding of.
an extra session presupposes an
emergency, and as no provision
Is made for that emergency. the
legislature may, under such con-
ditions, make such provision as it
considers necessary, and thus
avoid the delay which would be
entailed if the measures enacted
at the extra session were re-
quired to go over until the follow
ing July.
That is the entire argument so far
as we have been able to find any ar.
gument presented. The Herald point
cd out the futilty of this
argument some days ago. Tho
constitution provides that the leg
islature may put any law into
effect Immediately by a two-thirds
vote If that vote cannot be secured
the presumption is that no emergency
exists sufficiently grave to warrant
precipitatc action.
Further if the extra session laws
can be put into effect by a bare ma.
jority. the entire two-thirds rule is
nulified. In order to defeat it, ii
would only be necessary for the gov
crnor to call an extra session imne-
diately at the close of the regular ses-
sion, and for that extra session to re-
solve that all the laws passed at the
regular session. or any designated
number Of them, should take effect
Immediately.
The emergency law has not leg
to stand on. &

More PolDer Facilities
Urged For United States
fRy Associated Press

ATLANTIC CITY, n. J., May "a
George Otis Smith, director of the geo.
logical survey, Washington, today de-
scribed the need of the United States
for additional power facilities, in an
address before the annual convention
of the National Electric Light Asso-
citation.
The federal administrative officers
must plan for the future with fore
sight, Smith said in developing the
power resources of the United States,
and he pointed out that planning of
this type is properly function of the
government at Washington.
Secretary Lanes program is in
spired by vision of future needs"
said DR.. Smith. He regards the al
most Unsuitable demand for power
created by war industries as fore
shadowing future danger of power
famine in the industrial districts Of
the northeast. The signing of the arm
istice happily averted the power crisis
that otherwise we would now be fac
ing. Now, however, a policy of pre-
paredness for peace expansion should
be adopted.
1.-The picture of the power system
demanded by the rapid growth of this
industrial region includes multiple
transmission line of high voltage with
its thousands of steel towers, extend

states. From this great power main
would flow the energy to serve mil

hundreds of public service companies.
and thousands of manufacturing

Study History, Read
 Newspapers, Trimble
 Tells Y. M. C. A. Boys

The importance of studying books on history and of reading the daily newspapers was impressed upon the boys at the Y. M. c. A. bean supper last night by Rev. H. B. Trimble; pastor of the Lakeside Methodist church.
 "Everything that happens is on the pages of our daily newspapers" said MT. Trimble, "yet today many people do not know what is happen ing outside of their home town, and some are not acquainted with i'm pcrtant happenings in their imme- diate neighborhood. Knowledge costs but the price of a newspaper, and a few minutes day of your time, yet so few seem able to ob- tain knowledge. Why? Is it be- cause you do not give the time to the reading of it. Time is just as valu- able as> you make it. To MT. Rocke- feller it is worth thousands a min ute. To the loafer it is worth noth- ing. Do you want to be a Rocke- feller or loafer?"
 Only one this season has the num- Der of boys exceeded that which as- sembled last night to partake of the supper served by the Ladies' aux Hilary to the Y. M. c. A. That was recently when more than 15O at tended the weekly event. The pro- gram last night was one of the best given. Preceding MT. Trim ble's talk Mrs. J. w. Smith sang sev- eral songs, which were heartily ap- plauded. Mrs. Smith was accom- panied by Miss Clara Huffman, on the piano.
