UPH0LDS CONGRESS-
ON REFERENDUM
Palmer Says National Gov
ernment Has Right to
Regulate Conventions.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
There is no doubt that Congress has
the right to call and regulate the time
and manner Of State conventions for
consideration of the repeal of the eight
eenth amendment, A. Mitchell Palmer,
Attorney General in the Wilson cab
met, declared yesterday.
He took issue with Representative
Beck, Republican, of Pennsylvania, who
has doubted the right of Congress to
call the conventions. Said Mr.. Palmer:
THE Constitution is covenant made
by the people" and 'tthe people have
the sole right to decide whether the
Constitution should be changed"
Compact With States Seen.
Palmer said Beck took the position,
in a recent speech in the House, that
the Constitution was the result of a
compact between the States as sovereign
governments" and that consequently the
State governments should have complete
control of the proposed conventions.
IF there Is any one question which
the Supreme Court has repeatedly and
clearly decided, 1t Is that the Consti-
tuition was the creation of the sovereign
people and not compact between the
States" Palmer said, adding:
"The Supreme Court has further de-
cided that when the legislatures act In
ratifying or refusing to ratify Consti-
tutional amendments, they are perform
ing a Federal function granted by the
people, and that the Congress has the
power to prescribe the time within
which action shall be taken -.
1T is not necessary that Congress
should go into great detail in regulating
the methods of calling and holding

u. S. CONTROL ASKED
FOR WATERWAYS
U. S. Commerce Chamber Would
Reduce Competition Among Rails,
Highways and Ships.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Eighteen suggestions for lessening
competition among rail, water and
highway transportation systems through
regulation have been advanced by a
special committee Of the Chamber Of
Commerce of the United States.
The suggestions called for govern
mental supervision Of domestic ocean,
lake and river shipping much like the
present railroad regulation. Direction
Of highway transportation would be left
to the States, but uniform regulations
we're outlined. The committee said the
Federal Government should give up its
inland waterway barge lines.
"The committee agrees" a statement
from the chamber said yesterday, that
unregulated competition with regulated
forms Of comparable transportation is
unfair, contrary TO the public interest
in the losses which are caused. and
inequitable to shippers whose interest
is in dependable service and conditions. !"

FARM PRICE FIXING
BILL IS SELECTED
Democratic Measure Would
Guarantee Pre-War Pur-
chasing Power.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A newly devised emergency relief plan
designed to guarantee the farmer his
pre-war purchasing power despite price
fluctuations was the bill chosen by
Democratic leaders today for aiding
agriculture.
For the second time members of the
House Agriculture Committee gathered
behind closed doors to study its provi-
sions. A favorable report to the House
was predicted by Chairman Jones not
later than Wednesday
Carefully prepared by experts during
the holidays, the bill would fix "a fair
exchange value" for four major farm
eommodities-wheat, cotton, tobacco and
hogs. 1t defines this value as the
s'mount which, in relation to the prices
the farmer pays for commodities he
consumes, will represent the same ratio
that existed in pre-war years.
Price Depends on Season.
On hogs, the fair exchange value" is
fixed definitely at 31s cents q pound
through April, 4 cents in May and June
and Az cents for the remainder of the
1888 marketing year
The Secretary of Agriculture would
proclaim "a fair exchange allowance"
This would be the difference between
the "fair exchange value and the price
actually received at local markets.
An adjustment charge equal to the
"fair exchange allowance" then would
be levied on "the first domestic process
sing" And every producer would be
entitled to an adjustment certificate"
on his share of the estimated domestic
consumption.
To obtain this which
would have the same unit value as the
adjustment tax or flair exchange al
lowance"-the farmer would have to
agree to a 20 per cent acreage reduc-
ton or, in the case of hogs, to a 20
per cent tonnage cut and q limit of
2l0 pounds on the average hog lot
weight.
Seek Steady Incomes.
The certificates would be redeemable
at the Treasury, half In the first six
months of the marketing year and the
rest IN the last six months. The fair
exchange allowance" would be raised or
lowered by the Secretary of Agriculture
as required by commodity price f1uc-
tuations, so the producers incomes
would remain steady
A motion was pending before the
committee to eliminate hogs from the
bill. In an open telegram to Jones,
the Institute Of Meat Packers said the
bill would impair If it did not actually
destroy the adequate daily cash market
for hogs"
The telegram, signed by William w.
Woods, added: I'VE regard the pro-
posal as an injustice and danger to
the live stoe- industry"

CD announce the principle which shall

delegates so that the issue shall be fair
ly and directly presented to the people,
and "a pay all expenses of elections
and conventions"

to members OF Congress. Several weeks
ago he issued another elaborate brief in
support of his ideas. and it was with
this that Representative Beck took
issue.
