Some technical southerners who
have been in Washington during
the past few days have discussed
the move in fiery terms suggestive
of antebellum days, even suggest
ing impeachment as a means of
heading off executive usurpation.

tive stage, and VII not be officially
announced for a number of weeks,

parchment.
1t is safe, however, to assume
that practically every state of the
old south will be prepared to- resist
any encroachment on the powers
of states.
1t Is assumed by the critics of the

combined powers of the executive
and federal courts are to be direct
ed to secure full power over all the
country's railway lines.
The interstate commerce COM
mission, they figure, is to be used
as an instrument and the lately
passed rate law an excuse, and I'M
der the direction of the president
of the United States these forces
are to bend the railways to the
federal authority to the complete
exclusion of all state regulations.
One consequence of this would
be to raise the race problem and
the matter of Jim Crow cars. The
right to separate the races and
compel different accommodations

states. The assumption of COM
plete federal control would end all
this.
Rather than suffer this, the more
radical and outspoken of the south.
ern statesmen say they will resist
the president by Impeachment or
any other way that may be at
hand.
In the meanwhile, President
Roosevelt is trying to calm the
storm aroused by the premature an
nouncement of his tentative plan.
The president says he is not Sc
strongly committed to the idea as
he has been represented to be.
The first step. in any event, will
be to get a judicial ruling from the
supreme court, defining the scope
of the commerce clause in the con-
stitution. If the supreme court
holds that congress can take full!
control over the railway system of
the United States and deprive the
states of control even within state
boundaries, then the president will
be prepared to come forward with
his ideas as to amendments needed
to perfect the rate law. The chief
of these is that relative to supervis.
ing the issue of stocks and bonds.
There is difference of opinion
among the lawyers of the cabinet
as to what the present legal status
is. 1t is said that Secretary Root.
who is one of the best lawyers in
the country, holds that congress
will have to take certain added ac-
ton. through amendments to the
rate law, before the supreme court
will hold that the states have been
stripped of their jurisdiction over
traffic matters.
President Roosevelt is getting
ready to make a formal announce
ment at an early date of his federal
ization plans. Just when this will
come is not determined, but it will
be in a public speech, either in the
address which he will deliver at the
jamestown exposition April 26, al
Indianapolis May 30. at Lansing,
Mich, May 81, or before the Ma
tional Editorial association June 10.
