which says that the president shall
have power, by and with the advice
and consent of the senate. to make
treaties We do not, therefore, derive
oul treaty-making powers frori law
Of congress and no law Of congress
can in any way modify nr limit these
powers. The Dingley act cannot limit
the Tine in which we shall be allowed
to make a treaty"
Mr.. Cullom contended that the fourth
section Of the Dingley act should be
taken as mere expression of the view
OF congress and that the president did
not need authority TO make the treat
les. He entered into a long discussion
of the proceedings of the constitutional
convention relative Lu the treaty-mak-
ing power and claimed that presidents
all showed such power was conferred
solely upon the president and senate.
The reciprocity treaty concluded with
Hawaii, Mexico and Canada did not
go into effect until congress acted, but
these treaties contained express pro-
vision that they could not become ef-
fectiye without congressional action.
Mr.. Cullom discussed the provision
Of the constitution declaring that bills
for raising revenue must originate in
the house and said:
From the decisions and statements
of Justices Storey. Miller and Harlan
cannot see how this clause would
make it necessary to submit a recipro
city treaty to the house before it be
comes effective. The language of the
clause is that all bills for raising reve-
nue. shall originate in the house, and
not all bills affecting revenue. or in
which revenue may incidentally arise.
A reciprocity treaty is not a bill. 1t
is true that il reduces q duty which has
been lsid by law. but 7 maintain that
the treaty power has author
ity TO change a tariff law the same as
it has authority 10 change any other
act of congress, and we have seen that
it has been clearly held. from the de-
cisions of Chief Justice Marshall down
to The present, that the president and
senate by treaty can change or modify
law of congress"
Mr.. Cullom also said: This question
before us here has been before the SEN
ate for a hundred years. The execu-
tive and the senate have taken one
position, and this is that a treaty is the
supreme law Of the land"

bank on which he drew a check re-
turned the answer he had no funds.
Then Lewis left the track, but it
was known only To few that he had
borrowed several good sized sums,
pawned jewelry, and after clearing up
quite a sum. left on the Santa Fe over
land for Chicago. He even took back
diamonds he had given to the woman
who was living with him. Tt now turns
out that he had no money. but won a
large sum on Maresa and on the
