but these needs yet remain unanswered. while
scores OF public buildings have been erected

a revision OF our pension laws should be
made, which would rest upon Just principles

will lead US TO strongly resist all Impotence o
constitutional limitations Of Federal power an,
TO persistently check the increasing tendency
TO extend the scope OF Federal legislation int,

The preservation Of the partitions between
proper subjects OF Federal and local care am
