the infant States, the Constitution
was to be the organic law, the
charter of their liberties governing
and controlling the action of the
Federal Government.
AS the colonist had fought for
the principle that taxation and
representation must go together, it
is not probable that they contem-
plated in any contingency the de-
nial of this principle.
AS to the territories, the right of
representation was practically ad-
mitted by conceding the right to
be admitted into the Union when
the population was sufficient to fit
them for the assumption of State
hood. Meanwhile, both with ref
erence to the District and territor-
les, all practical guarantees as to
life, liberty and property were Sc
cured by the provision of the Con-
stitution relating to personal lib
erty, and by the provision secur-
ing uniformity as to indirect taxes
and an apportionment as to direct
taxes.
The powers of Congress then, as
created in the Constitution, must
be viewed from the light of the
Declaration of independence and
the principles for which the war of
independence was fought, and it is
impossible to believe that any linn
itations put upon the legislative
power, otherwise despotic, in favor
of individual rights, individual lib
critics, and individual lives, and for
the purpose of securing equality
of rights and uniformity of burdens,
were intended to be applied only
to that favored portion of the
American people residing in the
States and to be denied to that por-
ton residing in the territories.

she fancies she can take out of herself in
daily cares and tolls what she does not
put back in the form of nourishment for

later the woman who tries it breaks down.
The warning signs of physical break
down are, among others, headache, weak

difficult breathing, palpitation of the

NfWlANDS ON TINE CONSTITUTION.
Views on the Question Of Revenue Laws for
Puerto Rico.

Means: In concurring with the
minority report submit the
authorities and the reasoning
which, in my judgment, sustain
the view with the prohibitions and
limitations of the Constitution ap-
ply to the powers of Congress in
all legislation, and that the Con
stitution, ex proprio vigore, applies
to all territory belonging to the
United States.
The question referred to your
committee is as to the meaning of
the term United States" in that
provision of the Constitution
which declares that all duties, i'm
posts, and exercise shall be uni
form throughout the United States
Wis, whether it includes only the
States composing the Union or
whether it also includes the terri
tories belonging to the United
States.
The purpose of the inquiry is
to ascertain the status of Puerto
Rico and the Philippine Islands in
their relation to the Government
of the United States.
The government of these insular
possessions, outside of the tempo
rary military government at pres
ent maintained and conducted by
the President as Commander in
Chief of the Army, must be framed
by the Congress of the United
States, and the question is whether
the Congress has a free hand in
all legislation relating to such is
lands and can exercise, without
limit, all the powers of sovereignty,
or whether the constitutional limi-
tations and prohibitions apply to
such legislation to the same extent
that they do to Federal legislation
operative within the area of the
States composing the Union.
1t may be conceded at the out
set that the United States may
acquire territory, either under the
treaty-making power or the war
power of the Constitution, or by
virtue of its general powers OF
sovereignty as nation, and that
the power to govern the acquired
territory results from the right to
acquire, and also from that pro-
vision of the Constitution, section
3, Article ", which declares:
The Congress shall have power
to dispose of and make all needtul
rules and regulations respecting
the territory or other property be-
longing to the United States"
The term United States" may
be used in two senses-one, politi-
cal, and relating only to the Gov
ernment; the other, geographical,
and relating to the area governed.
In the political sense, the term
UNITED States" means simply the
States composing the Union, for
in the people of these States is re-
posed all governing power of a
Federal nature. They alone select
the President; they alone select
the State legislatures, which select
the Senate; they alone select the
House of Representatives; they
alone select the law-making and
law-executing branches of the
Government, through which the
Supreme Court and other inferior
courts provided for by the Con
stitution are organized and estab-
lished.

ems consists of the States COM
posing the Union; the United

controlled by Constitution which
grants certain powers, limits others,
and prohibits others. The granted
powers, the limited powers, the
prohibited powers, and the powers
reserved to the States and the
people if all massed in the one
sovereignty, would make despot-
ism.
The Congress of the United
States is the creature of the Con-
stitution. All its powers are Great
ed by the Constitution, and if any
limitations are imposed upon its
powers in general terms, they
must be applied to all legislation
which it originates; and such limi-
tations will not be confined to
that part only in its legislation
which relates to the State COM
posing the Union. The Congress
of the United States was not to be
despetisfH in seHfe--fP7aaiFts OF the
Union and a body of limited con-
stitutional power in other parts.
SO, also, with reference to the
powers prohibited to Congress,
and so, also, as to the powers de-
MED to the States. 1t is impossi-
BILE to believe that the Consti-
tuition contemplated the exercise
of powers by a territory, acting
under Congressional authority,
which are denied to a State.
The Constitution of the United
States was the compact of thirteen
States, formerly colonies of Great
Britain, which had revolted against
the mother country because of the
Fexercise of despotic power regard
ing the lives, the liberties, and the
property of its subjects. Equality
of rights, the right to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness; pro-
lection of life, liberty and pros
perity; the right of representation
where taxation was involved, were
the essential principles, to vlndi-
cate which the revolution was in
augurated and free government
was established in the formation
of a perpetual union, intended to
establish justice, promote the gen
eral welfare, and secure the bless
ings of liberty.
The purpose of the trainers of
the Constitution was to organize a
constitutional government which
would operate throughout the ter
ritories composed within the ma
ton boundaries, and which would
protect the people of the entire
country from the intolerable evils
against which the colonists had re-
volted. They had in contempla-
ton the acquisition of the vast
Northwest Territory, out of which
they proposed to organize not less
than three nor more than five
States when population would
warrant their admission to the
Union. This government, there
fore, contemplated governmental
control, not only over the States
composing the Union, but over this
vast territory which they regarded
as infant States. 1t is impossible
to believe that they intended that
this territory should be subject to
despotic power; that they intended
to secure to themselves every guar
anty for life, liberty, and property,
and to deny such guarantees to
this territory.
