(By PAISKLIt It. ANDKKSON) Washington, Aus. 31. When pr: niary election expense statements from Senators Swansou and Martin of Virginia, reached the ollico or the secretary cf tho senate today. It wan .-discovered that congressional cum pain publicity act, passed at the r". cent Bciision of congress, does not ai: tually require the publication ot ex Dense accounts of senatorial candi dates. Either by design or oversight, the now reform law seems to have a big hole in it. At any rate In the absence of Secretary Bennett, ollicials ot the secretary's oftice refused to niak public the accounts of tlie two Vir , glnla endidates for renoinination and election. They refused bn the ground that, 'while the law r entires the ac- counts to be filed not more than lb or less than ten days before the pri mary or election, it does not require that they be made public. Examination of the law shows that while in the section devoted to can dldatcs of the house, publicity i.s provided for, there is no such pro vlBion In the section devoted to can didates for the senate. Section 5 speaking of the candidates toi the house; says: "The statements fco tiled Willi the clerk of the house shall be preserved by him for fifteen months and shall be a part of the public records ot his office and shall be open to pub lic Inspection." But senators are treated in sec tion 8 which has no suca proviso, This is the second .feature of the "corrupt practices act" to arou.se cri ticism. The other came near causing a fist fight between Representative Rurkcr and Boohcr, of Missolri, and Induced Booher to vote against the conference report on the bill when It came un for final passage in the house. The es'eond objection concern the Reed amendment naming a limit of expense by any candidate, at fsi.ouu for representatives and 1 1 C. UUU for senators. But tho law malign excep tions as follows: "Provided further, That money ex pended by any such candidate to meet or discharge any assessment, fee, or charge made or levied upon candidates by tho laws of the State. wherein he resides, or for his person al expenses. Incurred for himself (Continued on Page Five.) ASSESSMENT OF HOTEL HELD NOT TOO GREAT '" The state tax commission1 today dismissed - the complaint of the Franklin Park Improvement Com pany of Brevard against the assess ment of a hotel and 9 3-4 acres of land, the hotel people having com plained that the assessment of the county assessor was too great.. The assessment was fixed at $21,700 by the assessor. Commissioner W. T. Lee, after hearing both sides, of the case, reported that the assessment . should stand and the tax commission therefore dismissed the complaint.

OTEAtamw Hornblowec Thinks " Reason able" Interpretation Necessary Thinks tlie Sherman Lmv I'm' lu Drastic if Interpreted Literally But All Bight According to the Su preme Court Decision The Idea of a Federal Commission Apnlling. Boston, Aug. ol. A protest again 'further experiments in drastic legis lation" against business interests was voiced by William li. Hornblowcr, ot New York, in an address on "Anti- l'rtist Legislation and Litigation." ut lust niht's session of the annual niectin of tuj American liar Asso elation. Mr. llornblower declared that the Sherman anti-trust law, tail ed to comply witu what he consid cred the requisites ot a proper sta tute. ..'..' Mils statute," he said, "never has been and never can be literally and strictly applied. To so apply It would produce chaos in tho business world l statute must be applied not ac cording to its language, but accord ing to Its reasonable meaning or elso it bocomes tho Instrument ol in justice and ol ruin to the mercantile community. there is a point at which com petition becomes the deat.'i ot. irui.e Undue competition, may lead to mo nopoly, while a reasonable regulation or a reasonable arecmeiit between the competitors may prevent mono poly. .Prohibition of all combina tions and of all restraint of trade is unwise. Civilization means co-opcr ation; co-operation means combina tion; combination means restraint ot competition." lunching of the criminal ispect ot the Sherman law, Mr. Horn blower said: Public opinion appears now to be clamoring tor victims. It Is not satis. hed with damages or injunction or possible receiverships, but punish meat of individuals is loudly culled for. Protests are even made against mero pecuniary Hues. Actual mi prisonment of the offenders is de manded. 'For myself, I do not hesitate to say taat the sweeping penal pro visions of the law are unwise and unjust, and should be made more limited in tneir scope and much more definite and certain. Acts or moral turpitude, if properly defined in ad vance, may wcl he made criminal Such acts of moral turpitude are, for instance, the ure of unfair means to suppress competition and to crush out rivals, and agreements with com potitors to raise prices or to restrict production. To make 'restraints ot trade criminal, irrespective ot its character and purposes and lrespcct ive of the methods pursued to ac complish the restraint, is to punish alike the intentional malelactor and the honorable and upright business man who has been guilty only tor a technical violation of a prohibitory law." Another suggestion has been re cently exploited and has the sup. port of able advocates, namely, the creation by the Federal government of a commission or a number of commissioners who shall have pow er to regulate prices or articles ot interstate commerce. To my mind, this is 4 appalling suggestion. Noth ing short of omnlsccnce can enable such a commission to perform its work with intellience and witii safe ty to the best Interests ot producer and consumer.
