An IrrepreSSible Conflict.

The discussion of meat inspection
legislation has once more brought
into prominence the irrepressible
conflict between Federal and State
jurisdictions over commercial OPP
erations. Upton Sinclair, who has
studied the problem, says the pro-
posed Federal inspection law is un-
constitutional, and that the effort
TO make law that will hold water
is practically impossible. Congress
cannot assume authority over prod
ucts intended for consumption in the
State where they are put up. With
out this power, IL is claimed, no
effective legislation can be had.
The statesman who viii devise a
method of meeting this supreme OBJ
stacle to so many kinds of vital
legislation will deserve the best his
country can give. To amend the
Constitution is impossible, because
States rights would be involved.
and any proposal to delegate larger
powers to the central Government
would be defeated overwhelmingly.
Indeed, ii is conceded now TO be
practical impossibility to amend the
Constitution. The Stares are Jealous
or the powers that they still re-
tain, diminishing powers compared
with those Of the central Govern
ment, despite the determined re-
sistanee TO aggressions of the cen
tral authority.
There has been discussion Of in
surance legislation this session, and
it all came back TO the constitu-
tional question. Is insurance State
or interstate commerce, or is it
commerce at all?
The railroad rate debate was con
stitutional, no; practical.
The divorce evil cannot be reached
because the States have the iuris-
diction, and uniformity of legisla-
ton on marriage and divorce is a
dream rather than a possibility.
The scandal of grain inspection
at the great grain markets of the
Northwest presents another phase
of the same question. An attempt
al cooperation among the State.
locking 10 betterment of conditions.
was held unconstitutional Whether
or not Federal inspection would
stand any better chance is doubtful.
The railroad pass evil can never
be effectively suppressed until there
are both Federal and State anti
pass laws that viii work together.
and progress toward such an end
has been painfully slow The rate
bill was amended 10 meet the evil
OF railroad companies also being
producers of the commodities they
transport. 10 the disadvantage of
other producers and shippers. and
the effectiveness of the amendment
Is gravely doubted py ITS best
friends because of this same con
stitutional question.
Illustrations might be multiplied
indefinitely. The remedy is not SO (
easy to discover uv the evidence
that it is needed. The problem is
one of the most serious confront
ing the lawmakers of both State /
and nation. Apparently it will have !
to be solved by construction. Some
fateful Supreme Court opinion one
of these days viii start THINGS
toward solution.

MARCH ON!
CA Memorial Day Poem-by Thomas Caver
Read at the Soldiers Cemetery

March on!
March on, We boys of days of old,
When history was making
Let music thrill your hearts of gold,
And mark the steps you're taking.
Fling out the flag you bravely saved
The flag that DER your battles waved,
When boys ike YOU the nation craved
March on
March on
March on as in your early youth.
When throats Of thousands eheered you
When statesmen sought your arms, in truth,
Nor youths ambition ieered YOU.
Your hearts and brains are strong today
As when you spent them in the fray.
And many foes before you lay.
March on.
March on!
March on 20 sound of fife and drum
And trumpet loudly hlaring;
Let crowds TO you gladly come,
Your martial ardor sharing
That ~rdor means the nations life.
When foes shall dare her to the strife,
And dangers on 'au sides are rife.
March on.
March on.
-ddIch on, the PATRIOTS heart Is yours,
And it viii be ever;
No sophistry his eye obscures;
His strength shall leave you never.
When heartless schemers crawl in dust,
Tc rob you of your well-earned crust,
Not yet your arms and strength shall rust:
March on!
March on!
March on, ye heroes loved and worn
And in hearts that love you.
Your praises on the winds are borne
To echo far above you.
Your power for good sweeps on apace;
No foes shall your bright record face
Save but TO sink in full disgrace.
March on.
March on!
March on, with forms erect and straight,
And faces proudly beaming:
Not yours the bending blow of fate
And eyes with sorrow streaming.
The nation will your rights uphold:
Your deeds shall in her halls be told.
Her loving your hearts enfold-
March on.
March on!
March on, ye braves, 10 deck the graves
OF loved and fallen brothers;
The Stars and Stripes above them waves
And soon there viii be others
And others Yet TO find their rest
Upon their country's loving breast,
Beloved of Heaven, by mortaIs blest
March on! March on.
