Mr.. Bryan's Radicalisrn.

Senator Rayner, of Maryland, pub
comments on Mr.. VIM. j. Bryans plat
form, which should be read and pom
dered by Democrats in all parts Of the
nation, especially In the South. His
comments are based on discussion
which has been proceeding for some
time past between Mr.. Bryan and
Senator Beveridge, in which. as Senator
Rayner points out, Mr.. Bryan has gone
bowshot in the direction of FEEDER
alism beyond anything proposed by
Mr.. Beverage in his child labor bill
Under the title Of "a New Law
Necessary" Mr. Bryan states the fol-
lowing propositions:
While Congress has no powo. to
interfere with State corporations SO
long us they conflne their operations
to the State of their origin. 1t Is with
in the scope of the powers Of Con-
gross to prescribe the terms upon
which q corporation organized In any
State shall engage in interstate COM
| merce"
Senator Rayner replies that in all
| the debates In Congress on the rail-
road rate bill and kindred measures,
he never heard the proposition stated
as broadly as that. Why not substitute
the word individual" for corpora
tion" asks Mr. Rayner, "and make Mr.
Bryans proposal read as follows:
\ "'While Congress has no power to
interfere with individuals so long as
they conflne their operations to their
own State, 1t Is within the scope OF
the powers of Congress to prescribe
the terms upon which they shall en-
gage in interstate commerce."
The word corporation, explains Mr.
4 Rayncr. has no significance attached
to It,. because the commerce rcgula-
ton clause in the Constitution docs
not speak Of corporations, and there Is
no distinction between corporations
and individuals hereunder; and the
separation that Mr.. Bryan makes be-
tween individuals and corporations IN
the last paragraph OF his article ia
not one that Is recognized under the
commerce clause OF the Constitution
