ing the de hacto government through
failure to provide funds, have made it
difficult or inconvenient for q public
agency to meet and function cannot
be urged in justification of practice
which would in measure amount to
government by private interests rather
than q government by tho people. 1t
might be plausibly argued that a gov
eminent capable of being privately fl
nanced might become government pri-
vately controlled.
"The foregoing is, Of course, said
without impugning the motives of any
one in connection with the present
situation. On the other hand, we are
confident that there exists no improper
motives on the part of any person in
suggesting that a session of the House
OF Representatives be financed private
ly. We are sure that only the public
welfare has been taken into considera-
ton, but the above remarks seem to
be appropriate in support Of our con-
clusion."
Unless Governor Ferguson herself
issues a proclamation for a special
session, the only course open to the
Ferguson critics is a plan espoused by
Speaker Satterwhite for individual
members of the House to pay their
own expenses. In his opinion tonight
the attorney general made no refer
ence to this phase of financing the
proposed session, but the general SEN
timent here was that not enough mem
bers would feel justified in going to
such an expense to attend a session
for impeachment purposes.
There are $50 members of the low
er. house and under the constitution,
two-thirds, or 100 members comprises
quorum. Approximately 90 mem
bers are said to have signed Satter-
whites petition for call, which is
far short of the number necessary to
conduct a legal session.

ICE CREAM MUST BE MADE PURE
Bill Passes Both Houses of Legisla-
ture Regulating Its Manufacture

Without a dissenting vote, the
House passed the Senate bill prOvid-
ing for the purity of ice cream. This
measure was explained and advocated
by former Representative Harry B.
Clark, of Kenton. He said the pur-
pose of the bill is to fix the standard
of butter fat to be in ice cream at the
rate of ten per cent in ice cream con-
tanning nuts of any kind and twelve
per cent in plain ice cream. The OBJ
lection to this bill originally in the
Senate were based on the contention
that the other SO per cent of ice cream
could be made up of almost anything
the manufacturers wished to put into
it and make it palatble. 1t was
claimed they could put oil and COM
mon glue in it if they could make
such stuff taste right just so long as
it contained the required percentage
of butter fat.
