nor Cummins yesterday answered the
Gillilland resolution of inquiry re
specting the charge made by the
governor in his letter to the republi-
cans of Iowa, TO the effect that the
railroad lobby has been working
against the primary election bill. He
stated that he had not charged mem
bers of the Legislature with Being
bribed or the railroad lobby with cor
rupting members; nothing he had
said could be tortured into that sort
Of meaning. But he insisted on the
truthfulness of his charge that the
railroads of the state are interested
in defeating real primary election leg

bills pending in the legislature.

Policy Not Merchandise.

What can congress act upon under
its power to regulate interstate com
merce? Congress cannot prevent tn
making of a contract of insurance
between company in New York and
a resident of Oregon. After the
contract is made, when will the pow
ers of congress attach. and to what?
Policy asd premium are not merchan-
disc. AS the power of congress does
nc attach until the merchandise is
in commercial transit, it could not
become active until the policy and
premium start on their journey and
would terminate when the place OF
destination is reached, and the duty
and power of congress would be to
protect both in transit, and that is
the limit of the congressional power.
This act of transportation does not
enable the federal power to reach the
corporations. and as the federal pow
er would not know when or how the
policy or premium We're to be trans
ported and as it cannot annul the
contract it would have to be made
criminal offense and an American
citizen would have to be convicted OF
crime for making provision for his
family"

No Action in Pines Treaty.

The senate in executive session
had consideration of the Isle of Pines
treaty, but after a general discussion
lasting more than an hour, the legis-
iatiye session was resumed without
action having been taken. The treaty
was called up by Senator Foraker.

committee on foreign relations. rec
Ommending ratification of the conven-
ton. This was opposed by Senator
Morgan, author of the minority re-
port, and Senator Penrose, who rep
resented the interests of number of
residents of the island who went
there from Pennsylvania. They took
the position that if the treaty was rat
flied and the island ceded to Cuba the
interests of the Americans on the
island would be ieopardized, Sena-
tors Spooner and Bacon have agreed
informally upon an amendment to the
local autonomy, but this has not yet
been offered.
Several senators objected to the ar
ticle which sets forth that the island
was coded to Cuba in payment of coal
ing stations in Cuba. 1t was agreed
that this article was not vital and that
it could as well be eliminated. Sen
ator Teller took the position that
the United States never had legiti-
mate claim to the island and the pur-
pose Of the treaty was merely to
quit-claim a title, over which there
was some dispute in the minds of
certain persons, to property in which

the interview, but exonerated Senator

NO FEDERAL CONTROL OF
LIFE INSURANCE BUSINESS
Committee Decides Proposal to Be Un-
constitutional
Congressman jenkins Writes Report Hold
ing for States Rights
Senate Continues Debate on the Railroad

Washington, Marcn 22.-The house
judiciary committee has decided to
report to the house that there is no
constitutional authority for federal
control of insurance or other state
corporations than railroads. The
report has been drafted by Chairman
jenkins and is now in the hands or
members of the committee for perus-
al. An unofficial poll of the mem
bers of the committee indicates that
with practically no exceptions they
concur in the correctness Of this con
clusion The report may therefore
be taken as the basis of the answer
the committee is to make to the
house in compliance with instructions
of that body.
The report colates all the impor-
tant court decisions ON the questions
involved, treats each exhaustively and
two principles:
The supreme court of the United
States has declared and has never
been shaken or weakened in main
tanning. first, that insurance is not
commerce, and second, that congress
cannot impair the police powers of
the states"
AS to the latter principle, Mr.. Jen-
kins says:
Let it be said kindly and not Of
fensively that it is a mOnstrous doc
trine, subversive of our dual system
of government. to even suggest, after
the distribution of these great powers
between the federal government and
the states, that the federal govern
ment, created by the states, can take
from the states the power they have
always enjoyed and expressly re
served to them by the constitution
exclusive in the states Hamilton him
self never made such a claim"
Insurance Not Commerce
The advocates of federal regu
lation concede, according to the re
port that insurance is not commerce
The report discusses at great
length the question of invading the
constitutional rights of the states in
the matter of police powers, the con
clusion being in accord with the
holdings of the supreme court against
such proposition.
The difficulty of administering fed
eral regulations is emphasized as fol
lows:

He protests further against the grants

RErRENcHMENT SLOGAN WINS
Antia Make Fight on Efforts to Put the
Sheffield School on tho College Ac-
oredited List, and Proposition to Dis
card Latin and Reduce Number Of
Teachers Is Carried.
spec,a, to Times Republican

Sheffield, March 14-The school
many of the voters Of this town. For
quite number of years it has been
the aim and effort of the school board
to place our town schools on the ac-
credited list of schools of the state. so
that our graduates might be able to
enter at once the freshman class of our
better colleges, without year or sew
eral years of college preparatory work
after they leave our schools before be-
ing eligible to college class. OF course
there were those who thought this a
needless waste of money. and others
who thought Latin in school was time
and money wasted, and others who OBJ
jected on the ground of the extra taxes
they We're called upon to pay under
these conditions.
The old school board some three
years ago added one year to the course
at that time, making the new course
one Of eleven grades. This required
duOllcI lSSCllCl, HudhlilS SlA III XII, III
our schools. During the past year our
board figured out that with the present
force of teachers we could as we'll have
the full twelve-years' course, and thus
place our school on the accredited list
and give our boys ard girls the best
advantages obtainable in the county.
This was accordingly done. tho the
measure met with quite good deal OF
opposition from many OF the people OF
the town and one member of the
board.
The friends Of the old board asked
that the two members whose terms ex-
pired yesterday be reelected, while
the "antis" put the following ticket in
the field:
For directors. for the full term, G. r.
Miner, q. +. Stoll: for treasurer, Will
lam Storck; and printed on every tick
ct was the slogan: "For FIVE teachers,
ten grades. no Latin, lower taxes"
This took with the voters like Wild
fire, and the ants got there in fine
shape, and the old members Of the
board who asked for reelection were
completely showed under.
