OHIO DEFENDS HER
REFERENDUM RIGHT
Legality Of Method Argued In
U. S., Supreme
Court.

Argument on the validity Of the
Ohio constitutional amendment pro-
viding for the submission OF federal
constitutional amendments to the
voters Of that state were heard to-
day by the United States Supreme
Court.
The case was appealed from Ohio
supreme court DEGREES sustaining the
amendment and Diminishing injunc-
tien proceedings brought to prevent
submission of the prohibition and
woman suffrage amendments te q ref
erendum vote.
George 8. Hawke, Of Cincinnati. who
instituted the proceedings. and ]:
Frank Hanly, former Governor Of
Indiana argued that the amsndment
condicted with Artici v Of the federal
Constitution. which describes that
federal amendments shall be ratified
by the legislatures, and that . state
was without authority to provide q
different method OF ratification.
Attorney General Price Of Ohio and
Lawrence Maxwell Of Cincinnati, con-
tended that the federal Constitution
did not require Q state to have any
particular form Of legislature and
that the people Of . commonwealth
had the power to abolish their gen
era1 assem- blies and to take into their
own hands all matters Of Legislation.

More than SO per cent Of the divorces
granted In this country are based on
"trumped-up charges" resulting ffem
the fascination Of the husband or wife

Moody Of Chicago. executive secretary
of the international committee on

Appearing in support Of joint res

ARE OF that kind"
The witness declared that the d.
vorce evil was worse plague than
the saloon ever was" and that the
remedy was In federal legislation. He
told the committee that in 1916 tho

fINGER-PRINT SYSTEM
PROPOSED FOR CLERKS

Taking it's cue from the finger-print
system Of Identification used in the
Army and Navy. the United States bu-
reau of efficiency is preparing to rec
ommend to the various government
departments and to Congress the use
Of finger.print system for positive
Identification of government employees.
Herbert d. Brown, chief OF the bu-
reau, announced today.
Mr.. Brown believes that the present
records Of the government arc prac-
tically useless because Identification
is difficult even where q picture IL
used Similarity OF names in the more
than 100000 in the employ OF the gov
eminent, Mr.. Brown says. has caused
great confusion at various times In
the dies Of the Civil Service Commits
sion.
Opposition is looked for from the
various labor organizations ana
unions Of federal employees. but MI.
Brown believes the possibilities OF the
scheme so nearly make Impossible
any mistake that it will find favor.
He points out the elaborate finger
print system in use in the two nght-
Ing arms Of the government as an ar
Rument in favor of the system.
