(Seatte POSt-lnteIlgeNcerD
 The result of the American Prohibition
 law leaves doubt but that a change is
 necessary. Perhaps adoption of a govern
 mental control system as in Canada would
 be the best solution.
 This is the opinion of Prof Gilbert Gidel of the Law School of the University of Paris, France, a recognized internationally of the leading jurists of the day, who Seattle visitor yesterday.
 During the short time I have been in
 America it has been brought constantly to
 my attention that the Prohibition law is
 leading young people to drink. If this is
 true, the law sholld be changed
 Professor Gidel lectured yesterday in Meany Hall on the University of Washington campus be- fore students of the political science department and law school. His topic The Bill of Rights in France
 "The example of the American bill of rights closely followed by France when Con- stitution was drawn up in 1789," he said in his talk. However, the French constitution of 1875 is silent the bill rights, and at present France is without such constitutional rule"
 Professor Gide author of several legal texts has been for nearly a year exchange pro- lessor at the Yale University Law School. He is lecture tour of the United States.

Following the announcement
of the cut-throat policies Of Sec
retary Wilbur. a conference OF
western governors was held in
Colorado Springs. attended By
Governor Erickson. He heard a
frank discussion Of the plight Of
the oil industry. He arose and
announced that the only sane so
luton of the problem Is the en-
actment Of a protective tariff.
It became known, later, that
or. Writ Franklin. president OF
the Independent Association, had
planned making a speech on the
subject Of a tariff at this con-
Terence but he abandoned that
speech, and spoke in support Of
Governor Erickson's proposal.
There was q hot battle between
the Gulf underllngs and the Gov
ernor and his supporters at that
time, and from that meeting |
started the movement to get q
tariff Of 81 a barrel on crude oil.
In the last session Of congress
the Independent association was
unable to fight it through and
the oil tariff provision lost by
one vote.
Thereafter Mr.. Fulton was
named national director from
Montana with instructions to or
ganize Immediately to force the
passage OF a tariff-the only pos
sIble savior for the independent
Petroleum. industry. A Montana
chapter Of the Independent (
association began active work and
this gmas followed by the Rocky
Mountain association enlisting its
support to a tariff platform on
December IS.
Called upon to so to a con- ]
ference Of governors at Washing
ton, Governor Erickson sent for
dr. Fulton and asked him to or
ganize a delegation to represent I
Montana at the conference. That l
delegation urged Governor Er-
lckson to go personally but he
was unable to leave during the !
sessions Of the Legislature. {
