lest through illchosen and economically
unsound legislation the people as whole
should be made to suffer because Of the
faults committed by comparatively few.
But those charged with this duty both
because Of official obligation and from
lcye Of country, were not permitted to
work out these problems thus presented
in that quiet and orderly way which
should characterize a government of law,
Indeed. it is claimed that, from the
adoption OF the Federal Constitution
down to the present time, we have pro,
ceeied upon the mistaken assumption
that certain powers supposed to belong
to the states, did in fact reside in the
National Government--an assumption
which has been shared by representatives
|of the State Governments While no
lone, to my knowledge, has stated the
Question in terms so broad as that just
used. nevertheless, in the end, 1t amounts
to this if the present claim is allowed
that powers hitherto exercised by the
states with the knowledge and consent of
the Federal Government, may now be
exercised by the Federal Government.
The only foundation for this doctrine
would be the assertion that the powers
We're wrongly exercised in the first in
stance and that ever since the states
have usurped the functions of the Ma
tional Government.
"This must be so, since the enumera-
ted powers vested in the Federal Gov
eminent and the powers reserved to the
states and to the people by the Consti-
tuition and in the first amendment COM
prising ten articles have not been chang
ed. The thirteenth, fourteenth and tif-
teenth amendments in no wise relate to
the powers now being considered. The
Constitution as to them stands as it
did in the beginning, 1t seems rather
late to argue after q century of judicial
and political Interpretation, with the ac-
|quiescence of every department of both
State and Federal Governments, that
the Constitution is not after all what
II has seemed to be all these years. That
as matter Of fact, although a contrary
opinion has been unanimously entertain
ed for century, the Fedemlists achiev-
ed in great measure the victory for which
they strove,
ut is however true, that, on every
hand, we hear not only suggestions of a
broader control by the Federal Govern
ment Of corporations than the Constitu-
tion seems to warrant, but also argu-
ments to the effect that, while the neces.
sary power is not to be found among the
enumerated powers in the Constitution,
