to change its stand, or has ignored the
demands Of Senator Helm that It
change.
Mr.. Hehin and his friends set con-
siderable store by the case brought in
the court. The refusal Of the court
to decide the case on its merits, thus
leaving the door still closed to Mr..
Heflin, has been a rebuff. But Tom
Hefiin is resourceful. Even though the
door remains closed to him, he will
make a fight in Alabama for the sena-
torial election which will long be re-
membered, whether he wins or loses.
The two candidates who are at pres
ent included within the Democratic
senatorial primary, John H. Bankhead,
son of the late Senator and brother OF
Representative Bankhead, and Fred
erick I. Thompson, newspaper publisher
and former member of the Shipping
Board, quite naturally are pleased with
the decision of the Supreme Court. In
a three-cornered race with them, Helm
would, it is widely predicted, win in a
walk" Without Hefiin in the primary,
one will win the regular Democratic
nomination, and may have a chance to
defeat Senator Hefiin if he runs as an
independent in the Fall.

Or What Have You?

Speaking on the District bill recently
Representative Simmons Of Nebraska
enumerated the various items that he
CONSTITUTES as contributions to the ex-
penses Of the District furnished by the
| Federal Government-among them the
| salaries of Army officers assigned TO
the District-and reached the comfort
ing decision that all of such things
lead inevitably to the conclusion that
the United States is being decidedly
fair and generous in its treatment OF
the District of Columbia
Testifying before the Senate subcom-
mittee on District appropriations, Audi
tor Donovan-upon whom Mr.. Simmons
has so often relied as impartial author
ity for his facts and figures-declared
that Il do not believe the present
100000 is an equitable participation
by the United States in appropriations
totalling S42 900 900, exclusive of appro-
priations payable from the gasoline tax
fund and the water fund. = If the
test of equitable contributions by the
United States is to be determined on
the basis of the proportion that the
lump sum contribution represented to
the total appropriations in 1925. it must
be obvious that the amount of the
lump sum does not meet the test when
set up against the amount of the Dis
tric+ bill for 1881, which carries S12,-
100000 more Gin Invisible appropria-
tions) than the appropriations for 1925"
For its value as an official pronounce
ment concerning the proportion Of par
ticipation in the 1891 bill represented
by the lump sum, it is interesting here
also to quote Mr.. Donovan as saying
that it is either 21.5 per cent or GAS
per cent, depending upon the concept
of certain miscellaneous revenues &C.
credited to the District. In his speech
on the District bill Mr. Simmons said
that it Is % per cent or slightly less
then rs per cent of the total" these
computations also depending upon the
inclusion or exclusion of part of mis-
cellaneous revenues. Last year Mr..
Simmons said that the Federal contri-
button represented approximately %
per cent Of the cost of running the
municipal government" in the fiscal
year 1880. Calling on Mr.. Donovan to
back him up he quoted Mr.. Donovan as
submitting a choice between 25.267 pei
cent. 25.4s2 per cent, 27.976 per cent OF
2s.214 per cent, depending upon the
figures used in the computation. A
table in the House hearings on the ap-
preparation bills gives the percentage OF
contribution by the United States for
the year 1880 as 1885 or 1920 per
cent; for the fiscal year 1881 21.5l per
cent (estimated) or 1895 per cent
(estimatedD.
All of which is an enlightening COM
mentary on the fact that figures do not
lie, and that substantive law, never re-
pealed, expressly states that the per-
centage should be forty.

The Hehin Case.

Senator j. Thomas Helm of Alabama
Is still officially outside the ramparts Of
democracy in his native State. But it
has not yet been definitely settled that
he will remain there. 1t is reported
here that the recent decision Of the
Supreme Court of Alabama in an in
junction suit brought against certain
activities of the Democratic State COM
mittee, which if it had been upheld
would have prevented the committee
from going forward with the primary,
did not really go TO the merits Of the case.
Rather. it decided that the court had
no Jurisdiction in the particula- case as
It was brought The suggestion is now
advanced that Mr.. Hefiin or his friends
NAV attack the problem from differ
ent angle and bring suit which will
cause a decision on the merits of the
whole question This question, in
xinnplified form, is whether the State
Democratic committee, under the law,
a warranted in fixing one status for
voters in the Democratic primary and
another for candidates for nomination
20 once. The Helm people have chal-
ieneed the right of the committee to dc
this thing. Mr.. Heflin and other
Democrats who opposed the election OF
Alfred z. Smith, the Democratic can
didate for President in 1928, have beer
barred from placing their names or
the ballot to be used in the primary
but at the same time they have beer
accorded the privilege Of voting in thai
primary.
The effort Of the anti-Hef1in Demo
srats in Alabama is to keep shut the
door which was closed against Sena
Cor Hefiin by the Democratic Stat
committee. They fear him in the pri
mary. They fear him in any event
But they have figured that if he
compelled to run as an independent il
Che election next November, he will b
more vulnerable than If he is permitte'
90 run in the Democratic primary il
August. The state committee, by
narrow margin, voted against Hefiin'
being permitted to enter the Demo
cratic primary. The committee ha
race OF twice since that time declines
