 In declaring the corrupt practices act void. the court has raised the question of the power of Congress to regulate nrimaries for the nomina tiOn of feder- Al officers and of the possible necess itv of constitutional amendments to pro vide such authority particularly to en- able the creation of national primary for the nomination of candidates for president.

 The nine members of the Supreme court were unanimously agreed as to the reversal of conviction in Senator Newberry's case but they arrived at this conclusion through widely separated channels of legal reasoning.

The majority opinion, delivered bv Justice McReynolds, held that the fed- eral corrupt practices law under which Senator Newberry was convicted was unconstitutional Eve justices, inciud- ing Justice McReynoldS, concurred III this opinion.

Justice McKema. agreed to this but reserved his opinion as to whether Congress had not the power now, since the adoption of the seventeenth amend ment to the constitution in 1913 for the direct election of senators, to pass laws regulating primaries for the nomination of senators.
 Three justices in dissenting opln- ion read by Justice Pitney held that Congress-. under the provisions of the original constitution Ina dthe power to regulate primaries. Chief Justice White concurred in this contention gen orally but expressed his views nan other dissenting opinion.

THE ROD OF MOSES

The Bible relates that the rod cut by
Moses turned into serpent when he
cast it down. 1t is significant to 1000
orchardists Of California that Moses
cut the rod from an almond tree.
The California almond growers in
the light of their treatment in the new
tariff bill feel that they have hold of
100000 serpents in the shape Of al
mond trees covering 100000 acres Of
the soil Of this State. Having invested
their time, labor, and more than $780,
100000 in the cultivation Of almond
orchards, they charge they are about
to losG them because the new tariff bill
now before the House of Representa-.
tives provides only four cents duty on
unshelled almonds and eight cents on
shelled nuts.
According to accurate trade figures.
eighty per cent of American demand
for almonds is for the shelled almond.

To get fair share of this American
shelled almond market, the California
growers are asking Congress to make
the tariff bill conform tUnature. They
want ratio of three to one fixed as
between the duty on unshelled and
shelled almonds-five cents on un.
shelled and fifteen cents. on shelled
Even with this. they say. they will

More than 40.000.000 pounds o. the
peasant-grown almonds were imported
