PRIMARY IS UPHELD
Illinois Supreme Court Ap-
proves New Delegate Law.

En- United Press
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Feb. s.
Illinois existing primary law was
held constitutional by the State
Supreme Court Friday, permitting
popular election of delegates to
presidential conventions this sum-
mer.
ConStitutionality of the statute
has been questioned by Chicago in
tereStS and was held void in lower
courts. The situation was con-
sidered so precarious that Governor
Len Small convened a special SEES
sion of the Legislature to rewrite
the statute.
Demand for primary in April,
which would allow a popular ex-
preston of presidential preference,
was not supported by a sufficient
majority of legislators to permit
passage of the law.
Observers believed the high court
holding strengthened the chance of
Frank o. Lowden to obtain the Re
publican delegation and, while Al
Smith is considered the most prob
able Democratic choice, the pri-
mary may decrease his chances.

towns combined marshal-minis-
ter, w. G. Milburn, to clear away
doubt about a marriage scheme
i'll which they were apparently
victimized last october.
The bride told Marshal Rev.
Milburn that her father objected
to her keeping company with
Guntle at Germantown, Ohio,
where they lived before coming
here. The father told her to leave
if she intended to go with Guntle.
The couple left Germantown to-
gether and at small Ohio town
asked man they supposed was
a justice of the peace to perform
a wedding ceremony. He did so,
but without a marriage license,
telling the couple just to sign an
application and he would send the
license later. Guntle paid him
$3.50. That was the last the
couple ever heard from him.

SOCIALISTS OF
vienna ERECT
HOMES OF CITY
Rents Held Low to Meet
Cheap Wages Caused
by World War.
BY MILTON BRONNER
NEA Service Writer

VIENNA, Feb. 4.-This world
' famous city, though sorely i'm
poverished ever since the World
War, has done more than any other
metropolis on earth in the way of
building homes for its citizens. 1t
has:
Constructed new municipality
owned dwellings, either apartments
or garden houses, for 10000 families.
Drafted plans for 10000 more
dwellings to be built within the next
five years.
Enacted laws reducing private
rentals to as little as two per cent
Of the average workmans salary.
Socialists Rule City
For the once-proud capital of the
powerful Austro- Hungarian En-
pire of sixty million people this
would not have been such an &C
complishment. But for city of two
millions in a tiny, struggling repub-
lie Of only six millions, it is some
thing that breaks all records.
The influence that has brought
this about is the Social Democratic
party Of Vienna, led by the city's
mayor, DR. Karl Seitz. The Social
list party has ruled Vienna longer
than Socialists have ruled any other
big place on earth.
In Wake Of War
Vienna's housing problem after
the World War was agute in the eX-
IRENE. The present Austria lives by
industry. Seventy per cent of its
trade is export trade.
But in this it has tremendous
handicaps. Out side of iron and
wood, Austria has no raw materials.
1t has to import them at the pre-
Vailing world prices, and pay heavy
freight.
Most of the countrys food has to
be imported. And on top of all this
is the fact that the neighboring
old empire all have erected pro-
tective tariff barriers.
Landlords Pay
AS a result, the only way Vienna
can compete for world trade is by
paying low wages. And low wages
must be accompanied by low rents.
The Socialist party holds that in
hard times it is not right that the
landlords alone should prosper.
Hence came he city law that regu-
lates rents. The landlord now
makes little or no profit Instead
of rent being one-quarter of the
workman's salary, it is not over two
per cent. The Workmen are thus
able to live on their low wages and,
as a consequence, industry is able to
live.
City Builds Homes
7 But these low rentals and the diff
ficulty of raising capital did not en-
courage private persons to build new
houses SO badly needed in Vienna
The Socialist government decided
that the town itself should build
houses. 1t set a program of 10000
dwellings by the end of 1928. This
program was accomplished by the
end of 1927. A new program of 30,
600 more dwellings has been fixed
b for the next five years.
About 10000 persons therefore
already are living in municipality
owned houses, with their rentals at
Fl a minimum.
