Mr.. Hi. in the first part Of his re-

inquiry concerning the building Of

less figure than in Scotland, various

much as though a subsidy was needed
for shipping. If such a measure were
passed. it would, in his opinion, assist
most those VINO needed no assistance,

hounds as those most likely to be ben

The amendment proposed by Tayler
TO confer upon congress power to enact
uniform laws on the subject of ma ri age
and divorce viii not pass this congress,
and, in my opinion. will never become
al art of the federal constitution. W hi.e
the present marriage and divorce laws,
differing, as they do, in many states,
lead to perpIexities, if not cOmplica-
tions, the states will not yield TO the
general government the control over
subjects so obviously domestic in char
acter. The national government is con-
stautly invading the rights of states
and if congress is given power to con-
troll marriage and divorce, I see no rea-
son Why it should not control all inter
nal affairs of states, the schools. the
local courts ana all local concerns. The
triumph of tbs view would wipe out
state lines and convert the republic into
an empire. I am opposed to the pro-
posed amendment, and if it should ever
come from the committee, which is very
doubtful. ] viii vote against it

the TayieT resolution from any stand
point. other senators and representa-
tives seen refused to be nut on record
at the present time regarding the reso-
luton.
