as it should be. Far more significant,
it seems to us, is the fact that this
commission is Mr. Hoover's commis
sion. The dictation of no special in
terest is discernible. It is neither
wet nor dry, in the acceptance of
those terms. None of the commis
sioners, so far as we know, has been
conspicuously identified with either
side of the prohibition question. That,
on the way.

THESE TWO QUALITY FUELS MEET ALL MOTOR NEEDS
When the Jones law was enacted
by Congress providing that a sen
tence of live years in prison and a
$10,000 fine may be imposed on per
sons who violate the prohibition law,
the Daily News predicted that the
statute, instead of making prohibi
tion more effective, would have the
opposite effect by rendering it more
difficult to secure convictions.
' This view is shared by Courtlandt
Nicoll. one of the foremost lawyers
of New York, in an interesting article
appealing in the June number of
,the North American Review.
The Jones law may never be
amended or repealed, hut it will
lapse into inaction through the re
fusal of juries to find defendants
guilty, says Mr. Nicoll.
i The grand Juries before which
these accused individuals will come
for indictment and the petit juries
before which they come for trial, are
composed of ordinary citizens," he
says. "Some buy intoxicants, others
drink when they have a' chance, oth
ers who do neither have among their
acquaintances many reputable men
and women who do so without be
ing conscious of moral guilt."
"Few juries, I am confident, will
deprive a man of his citizenship and
place him in Jeopardy of a large fine
and long prison term, when, judged
by the common standards of man
kind, he has done nothing wrong or
dangerous to another. They realize
that the only reason the defendant
stands before them is that he failed
to distinguish between an individual
like themselves and a spy in govern
ment employ.
1 "With the failure of the grand
juries to indict, or a series of acquit
tals by the petit juries, the eighteenth
amendment and its enforcement acts

Someone has figured it out that
32 million people in the United
States, more than a fourth of the
population, have no direct represen
tation in the lower house of congress.
This is because congress has dis
obeyed the constitutional mandate for
a reapportionment at least once in
every ten years. Congresmen have
not set the public a good example in
law observance in this matter, as in
some others.
Farm relief legislation is under
taken for the benefit of a class. So
is tariff legislation, if we are honest
and frank about it. Hut reapportion
ment is ordered by the Constitution
and demanded by common justice.
Whatever the results in the attitude
of congress on a controversial ques
tion like prohibition, reapportion
ment cannot honorably be neglected
longer. It has not been neglected
honorably for eight years. It is the
most important duty confronting the
extra session because it involves
obedience to the Constitution and
the principle of equality in represen
tation. :o:
Marion Talley now is represented
as having come to the decision that
the farm she wants should not. be
very far from New York. She is go
ing to take lessons there and must
not be far away. There has been a
suspicion all the time that Marion's
farm probably would be located on
Broadway.
