Law Which Would Speci

to be Changed
DECISION
IMPORTANT
Supreme Court Hoida That P ri
mary i» of Sam e^ m p ort-
ance as Election
W ASHING TO N, Mar. 8.— The
United States supreme court has
thrown out the Texas prim ary
laws, which specifically excluded
negroes, but southern states are
left free to continue white control
by Indirect means now widely em
ployed^
Many of these indirect laws
have been upheld in previous de
cisions of the court. • t
This decision Is also Important
because in it the court tends to
•r> regard a primary In the same Im
portance as an election. Senator
Borah, Idaho republican, said the
y supreme court indicated support
of it contention that congress has
power over primaries as well as
regular elections.
Important Point
, This point is highly Important
now because the senate’s report to
investigate the Vare and Smith
primary election - contributions
? hangs on the senate’s authority to
) go into primaries. Its. right has
been challenged by those opposing
r the Investigation but it went
ahead neverthless.
A specific test of the point in
the courts may result. The Texas
_ law. passed in 1923, expressly pro-
g hlbited negroes from voting In the
. democrat!? primary, which la the
n real election in most southern
states, where the republican par-
tp aearwely exists. The supreme
, court* held that this restriction
. was a violation * of the 15 th
amendment which forbids state»
from passing any law abridging
the rights of citlsens on account
of race or colpr and that this was
sufficient to invalidate it regard
less of other points raised.
, Necessary Step
Exclusion of negroes from the
polls has been regarded by» the
(south ever since reconstruction
days as necessary since negroes
outnumber whites .In many of
those states.
This has been accomplished by.
indirect means which do not theo
retically discriminate against ne
groes, but do practically.
Educational tests, ability to ex
plain state constitutions, nntrl-
cate registration
requirements,
property qualifications, poll tax
es, inconvenient voting hours and
tub rosa surveillance are the most
effective devices used. There is
nothing in the Texas decision to
prevent their continued use. When ■ "
advised of this decision, Governor
Moody of Texas indicated thpt the
same epd now would be attempted
by such indirect means.
