Metz who composed the immortal

lieves that the law should not be
taught like theology in an "air-tight
compartment" 1t should be studied
in the phases Of life it affects. Soci-
ology, economics, political economy are
suggested additions to the legal cur
riculum. This integration of legal
education, introduced by Mr.. Oliphant
into Columbia University and the
Johns Hopkins Institute of Law, has
spread to the Universities of Harvard
and Yale. 1t may well revolutionize
and humanize future court decisions.
On the slippery slopes of economic
security are other legal changes that
preoccupy crusading Mr. Oliphant.
These are the "declaratory rulings"
The layman does not know about them
yet. Tentative approval Of a congress
sional subcommittee, however, is In the
bag. As explained briefly, Mr.. Oil
phant feels that the inability of the
Government to act prospectively, to
determine the rights and liabilities of
business men in advance, has worked
hardships. There must be some way
by law, as he sees it, to tell business
men what they can expect in taxes
if they embark on given course.
As to monopolies. Mr. Oliphant feels
we must improve and enforce the
antitrust laws" Price structures, he
says, cannot endure half monopolized
and half competitive" in our economy
that is 40 per cent monopolized
already.
He modestly disclaims credit for
| authorship of the undistributed profits
tax. In hearings before Senate COM
mittee he said: Its principle was en-
bodied in our original income tax law
during the Civil War times. It was
considered by committees of Congress
in 1917. It was up for vote in 1921
and substantially this plan was
adopted in the Senate in 1924"
Geographically speaking, Mr.. Oil
phant describes himself as "iust a
country boy Born in Forest, Ind,
in 1884, his parents tried to hew a
farm out of timber and swamp lands.
Like many boys of that era, he worked
for his education, graduated at the
University of Indiana. When he made
1 the break with his major interest,
philology, took his law degree at the
University of Chicago, he found, and
still finds, that ''the key to legal
problems Is often linguistic"

feel keenly the loss to his brother II
the appointment were not made.
If neither Gov. Lehman nor Sena-
tor Wagner is willing to run for Gov
ernor the Democrats may turn either
to Attorney General Bennett or to
Representative Mead, who halls from
Buffalo. Whether the American La
Dor party would look kindly upon
either one of these gentlemen is
not quite clear. The nominations for
Governor are made in convention
about six weeks before the general
election. 1t Is short campaign.
Therefore it is necessary to pick
candidate who is well known through
out the State and does not need a
build-up. Neither Mr.. Bennett nor
Mr.. Mead is particularly widely known
to the electorate.
Jackson Goes Sour.
Solicitor General Robert H. Jack
son was President Roosevelt's choice
for the gubernatorial nomination early
In the year. He was thinking for
ward to the presidential nomination
in 1910. But Mr. Jackson, with his
attacks upon business, went sour in
New York. Furthermore, Mr.. Farley
was against him. More recently some
Of the New Dealers, who remember
that Gov. Lehman wrote letter to
Senator Wagner urging him to vote

that Harry L. Hopkins be the can
didate. Mr.. Hopkins, however, has
put his foot In 1t by interjecting him.
self into politics In big way in
Iowa. He is well known-as name
throughout New York. But he is not
known personally to many voters.
The New York Republicans are still
looking hopefully about for candi-
dates. Thomas l.. Dewey. the racket
buster and now district attorney of
New York County, is backing away
from a gubernatorial nomination. He
sent his representatives to see that the
Young Republicans at recent meet
ing did not indorse him for that Job.
If Mr.. Dewey should become a cam
didate the American Labor party,
which backed him for his present job,
would feel he had let them down.
Mr.. Dewey is young. In four years
he may be in much better position
to make the race for Governor.
Chief Judge Evan Frederick Crane
of the Court of Appeals may be
drafted by the Republicans. He would
accept, 1t Is said. If the nomination
came to him without an intra-party
fight. He halls from Brooklyn and
would, it is said, be strong condi-
date. 1t is to his position that Judge
Lehman might be appointed-if Judge
Crane steps out. ...,
