PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION

TRENTON. Jan. 13.-Assemblyman
Rowland, of Camden, today had pre-
pared to be introduced in the house
a bill creating a new Public Utility
Commission Of three members. Eve
of the members under the Rowland
Bill would be OF the party in power
and the other one representative of
the minority and all to. be elected by
the legislature in joint session, each TO
receive a salary $4,000 a year.
They could take office the first of
next May.
The legislature being Republican
the majority of the commission would
be of that political faith. AS the law
makers convened, here today 1t was
rumored that the bills to curb Gov
ernor Edwards removal of power ave
board members would not receive the
support of all the Republican SENATE
ors. 1t was stated that Runyon, OF
Union; Bright, of Cape May, Whit
ney of Morris would not stand for the
program.
However this would leave twelve
Republican votes in the Senate for
the bills one more than necessary TO.

legislatures cannot under the law re-
peal ratification Of the constitutional
prohibition amendment. Wayne c.
Wheeler, counsel for the anti-saloon
league, declared today in q statement,
discussing recommendations for re-
peal made to the lawmakers OF New
York by Governor Smith.
MrsA Wheeler cited the attempt of
New Jersey and Ohio to withdraw
ratification of the fourteenth amend
ment, congress refused to accept the
repeal and both states We're counted
among those voting affirmatively. With
their ratification the amendment
lacked sufficient vote to become OPP
erative.
Chief Justice Marshall was quoted
by Mr.. Wheeler as follows:
The principle is asserted that one
legislature is competent to repeal an
act which a former legislature was in
competent to pass. The correctness
of his principle, SO far a. respects
general legislation, ear never be con
troverted, but If an act begun under
a law. q succeeding legislature cannot
undo it. The pass cannot be recalled
by the most absolute power.
