Editorial Comment
Congress and the Primaries

In the ordinary Course Of things the senate of the
seventeen congress will not meet for some thirteen
months Then the enthusiasm for summary dispo-
stion of the eases Of Colonel Smith Of Illinois and
Mr.. Ware of Pennsylvania, senator-elect and to be
thrown out, may subside. Mr. Borah and Senator
Overman would follow precedent. Hitherto sena-
tors have been admitted upon presentation OF the
proper certificates of election and unseated, after
investigation, only by twothirds vote Of the sena
tors present. This is often long process and the
urscating impossible. Mr.. Norris and Mr.. Ashurst
would reject Colonel Smith and Mr. Ware by ma
jority vote, ratfyng Immediately the expected con-
c,,sons Of the Reed committee This course. how

lie goes into long argument to show that congress
has the power, under Section 4, Article I, Of the
Constitution, to regulate primary elections and ex-
penditures in connection with them. It is not nec-
essary to toll after him. In 1921, after the supreme
court held the federal corrupt practices act uncon-
stitutional, Mr.. Borah and his fellow prophet, Hiram
!-hnson were eager for constitutional amendment
giving congress the power denied by the majority
CT the court. Now he finds that congress has that
power. While four members, including the great
authority Of Chief Justice White agreed that con-
gress had power to pass the act, the law remains
as stated by JustiT McReynolds for the majority:
Primaries are in sense election for an
office, but merely methods by which party ad-

Counties May Buy
Gravel Land From
State Land Board

Counties may purchase gravel
bearing lands from the state in the
future, under a ruling given by At
tOrney General George Shafer to Carl
r. kositzky, state land commissioner.
Seven counties have applied for
permission to buy gravel land owned
by the state, Kositzky said. but IN
each instance the state has refused To
make the sale, acting under "a prior
opinion that the state laal DOari
had no authority.
In his opinion, however. Shafcr
holds that the constitution and the
state law permits the board to sell
lands to any county or municipality
to be used for public purposes.
Gravel for bodybuilding is a public
purpose, he said, and therefore the
board has authority to make such
sales.
The decision should tenn toward
better roads in several counties whc9,,
the state has owned the best and
most easily accessible gravel banks
containing gravel suitable for roal-
building purposes. Kositzky 4aid.

That Christmas Mail

Gaee again the Christmas season has rolled around
70 the tune Of do your Christmas shopping early
For years that tune has resounded throughout the
land, with the result that people actually do
: do their shopping earlier than the day before
Christmas. Another reform started within the last
year or two is the of do your Christmas shin
ping early and it is fully as important as the for
reform.
Of what value is it to shop early and then wait
unit; late to send the stuff off? By doing that one
simply increases the risks of loss and damage, ow
ing to the hurry and hustle during the holiday sea-
:. s@n. The mails crowded, the express companies
rushed to death and all is confusion. How much
better if about three-quarters Of these packages
could only be mailed and shipped not later than the
: middle CT November. Then the delivery agencies
would have ample time to insure safe and sure de-
J. l;vcries
