Other Citations
In People ex rel, Brechton v. Elec
:i n Commissioners, 221 111. 9, 77 N.
E. 321, it was held that a primary
election law which provides that the
rourstv committees of a political party
shall determine whether candidates
hall he nominated by a majority or a
plurality vote, is invalid as a dele
gation ' of legislative power, the
basis of this decision being that since
the legislature had enacted a statute
regulating the form of the ballot,
what shall appear upon it, and how
the candidates whose names appear
shall be chosen, it has drawn to it
self the duty of determining the ques
tion whethe'r a majority or plurality
vote should be necessary to nominate
and that the delegation of this right
to a political party might not be le
gally done, and this is no more than
the recognition of the well established
maxim that a law must be complete
in all its terms and conditions when
it leaves the legislature. Cooley’s
Cobst. Lim. (7th Ed.) 163.
Delegation or rower
In the statute under consideration
there is not only a delegation of leg
islative power.—in itself unconstitu
tional—but also in its purpose and
effect a recognition of a further j
power which the legislature itself i
does not possess. Admittedly the
State may not provide otherwise than
for equal* rights of suffrage as well
in the primary as in the election.
This the statute does and if this were
all there would be no ground of com
plaint, but it goes farther and rec
ognizes and enforces the right of a
political party to prescribe qualifi
cations forbidden under the Fifteenth
Amendment of the Constitution of the
United States. This a State may not
do. “The legitimate purpose of such
a law * * * must be to sustain and
enforce the provisions of the Consti
tution and the rights of voters, and
not to curtail or subvert them or
injuriously restrict such rights.” (Peo
ple v. Commissioners, supra).
Law in Conflict
That a law which recognizes or
which authorizes a discriminatory test
or standard does curtail and subvert
them there can be no doubt and such
a law is therefore in conflict with the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend
ments to the Constitution of the
United States.
Impressed with the importance of
the question raised in this case and
mindful likewise of the responsibility
of its decision, I have given the case
careful thought. That its effect may
be to change a custom that has long
obtained in_the political system in ef
i _ii)i MJimWHMBmHUJglHIMBgWil
feet in this State and therefore meet
with the disapproval of manv is a
consequence which unpleasant though
't may be mgy nevertheless not be
avoided in the performance of the
duty devolving on the court.
The demurrer will be overruled,
and the defendants given sixty days
in which to plead further, and the
case will stand continued.

Speed With Safety Are Requisites of Modern Travel
» inOiah CMier Cab9i e at &A*t?r • o • •
Speed—safe speed that assures ar
rival on schedule—Is the growing de
' mand of the twentieth century, and
all human ingenuity and skill have
been devoted to this end. The air
plane, the luxurious ocean liner, the
high-powered, low slung motor car—
, all are built with the safety factor In
mind and manufacturers must heed
that demand or go out of business.
The railroads, too, have kept pace
with the demand for safe, expeditious
, travel between distant points, and
are constantly improving their run
ning tlm«®where possible. Take for
example the Trans-Canada Limited,
fast traln-de-luxe of the Canadian
Pacific Railway, which resumed ser
vice between Montreal, Toronto and
Vancouver May 12 and which make*
the 8,000 mile run to the British Co
lumbia city through mountains, for
ests and prairies In 88 hours 45 min
utes, and from Toronto In 84 hours 80
minutes. While the Trans-Canada
Limited Is operating there are actually
ten Trans-Canadas In service—four
east bound, four westbound and two
being prepared for the return run at
either end. Bo luxurious Is their
equipment that they are valued at
over $10,000,000. The traveling pub
| Uc now demands as fine travel accom
i modatlons as It finds In well appolnt
I ed homes, and the railroads are ever
on the alert to make Journeys more
comfortable and pleasant The Trans
Canada, for Instance, Is equipped with
new vita-glass solarium cars, permit
ting the beneficial ultra-violet rays,
excluded by ordinary window glass,
to penetrate to the passenger; new
sleeping cars Insuring a maximum of
comfort during the night; new type
dining oars; ladies’ shower baths;
smoking rooms and other appoint
ments. Those who Journey to Banff
and Lake Louise during the coming
summer will be as comfortable.as In
their own living rooms.
