| WASHINGTON, June 4.-COnstitutiona
LAWYERS IN and out of congress are dis
russing whether the amendment to tn,
inter state commerce law which the sen
ate passed last week, providing that ther,
should not be Intoxicating liquors or be
>erages shipped into prohibition state,
will stand constitutional test. Sucl
able constitutional exrOunders as Sen
ators Ehmunds, Hoar and Evarts conteno
That 1t was broadly lntitlated bv the sll-
preme court the other day, on overthrow.
ing the prohlbitiOnists OF Iowa, that the
constitution vested a power in congress
to prohibit the utter state shipment OF
any article which was undeslrable by the
states, and that 1t was within the power
of congress to reinforce the powers of a
prohibition state by such a law as the
senate passed.
1t is held, on the contrary, that, while
the constitution gives congress this power.
1t can not delegate 1t to state, and that,
therefore, the Wilson amendment will
not stand constitutional test, because it
proposes to delegate federal power to
state authority.
Possibly the Wilson amendment will
pass the house. But it will be listed by
the original package and other liquor deal
ers in prohibition states, and it is very
generally thought will be broken bown.
There we're but ten votes against it in the
senate, but it should be remembered that
quite number of senators voted for it
under the impression that it was not only
but would result in the
overthrow of the license system for the
sale OF all beverages shipped from outside
states in original packages,

Will It Be Surplus or Deficit?

were going to be very extravagant, and
that we conli not afford to take the duty
