FOR STATES RIGHTS
WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN CON.
DENNIS GENERALIZATION.
Enlargement Of the Powers of thu
Federal Government a Danger to
the ~Nation-Great Corpora.
tions Behind II.

William Jennings Bryan and Sena-
tor Beverage appear in a printed de-
bate on the subject of states rights, in
the Reader Magazine. Mr.. Bryan goes
into a careful statement of the differ
ing theories held by statesmen of the
constitutional period and follows this
with a discussion of issues of the day,
in which these paragraphs are promi-
nent:
IF the time has come for ~obliterating
state lines and consolidating all au.
thority, legislative, judicial and execu-
tive, at Washington, it can be done by
constitutional amendment whenever
three-fourths Of the states are willing
to ratify such an amendment. But is
there any demand for a surrender by
the states of the powers reserved to
them2 On the contrary, every rea-
son which existed lis years ago ex-
lists now, and those reasons are even
stronger than they formerly were,
because of the increase in the area
and population of the nation.
The demand for the enlargement of
the powers of the federal government
comes from two sources, viz, from
those who believe with Hamilton in
the theory of GENERALIZATION, and from
those who want legislation which the
states rights doctrine obstructs. OF
these two classes the last is most in
ffGential, because the members of this
class impart to their method the
strength supplied by the object aimed
at. An abstract theory seldom pro-
vokes discussion, but wars have been
fought over a theory embodied in a
concrete issue.
First there is the effort to secure
the national incorporation of railway
and industrial enterprises. Those who
desire this hope for an act of On
gress and a favorable court decision
sustaining it. They could hardly hope
for the adoption of an amendment to
the constitution. The national incor-
poration of business enterprises is
sought in order to avoid state courts
and state regulation, but in view of
the growing sentiment against mo-
nopolies the subject will hardly reach
the courts, for it is not likely that a
majority of congress can be brought
to favor any enlargement of the power
of commercial corporations.
"a systematic absorption of power

only cause discomfort and weaken the
attachment of the people for the gov
eminent, but a withdrawal of power
from the state would breed indiffer-
ence to public affairs-the forerunner
of despotism.
THE exercise by the federal gov
eminent of restraining power is not SO
Objectionable as the exercise of Gre,
alive power.
In the exercise of restraining pow
err care should be taken to preserve to
the states the exercise of concurrent
authority, so that the state govern.
ment, as well as the national govern.
ment, car stand guard over the rights
of the citizen.
mo assault upon the authority Of
contraction of the sphere of the state
can be justified on the ground that 1t
is necessary for the overthrow of mo-
nopolies. Federal remedies should
supplement state remedies; they
should not be substituted for state
remedies"

Legislature
MAY ADJOURN MARCH 20.
Appropriation Bills Introduced and
Legislators Begin on Final Work.

Legislators Begin on Final Work.
The appropriation bills, which show
an aggregate of something like $5,125,-
900, were introduced in the house Sat
urday. When both branches of the
assembly have passed upon these bills
the legislature will be ready for final
adjournment. 1t will require from fif-
teen to eighteen days to get these
bills in readiness for signature, which
would put the sine die adjournment
about March 20. The Today constitu-
tional limit expires March II.
Proportionately the appropriations
in the aggregate for current biennial
period are no larger than the aggre-
gate of the 1905-06 period, though the
figures seem to indicate an increase of
more than $1,000, 900. Two years ago
peither the normal school at Mary
vile nor the one at Springfield was
included in the list of state institu-
lions. This year both are in the
budget, each for 1902, 900, which alone
accounts for $G04 900 of the increase.
Increases in salaries foot up some.
thing like 100000.
For the last biennial period the to-
tai revenue of the state was $S,054,-
1926. Of this amount $2,324,435. 80
was apportioned to the public schools,
leaving the net revenue of the state
for the 1905-06 period $5,729, $40. 90.
The total estimated revenue of the
state for the current biennial period
, aggregates SS,277, 346.25. This is to
come from the following sources: Bal
ance in treasury Jan. l, 1907, $685.
530.33; estimated receipts for the
years 1907-0S, 1000, 900; transfer of
war claim fund to the venue fund,
S475, 1878; transfer Of insurance
fund. $4,000; transfer of sinking fund,
~$4.437.79, Deducting from this total
$2,33 1888, which will be appor-
toned to the schools, leaves the net
estimated revenues of the state for
the ensuing biennial period 1884
012.92. In round numbers, and esti,
mated, the appropriations this year
will be something like $600,0 900 with
in the estimated emu of the state.

Favoritism to Standard Oil Company

. aNOiil'SHl " 0ldiIQdI0 VII S~OIiIpduys
1t is now claimed that by means of
the proviso to section one of the rail.
road rate bill, the members of the
Standard Oil trust are excepted from
the operation Of the law forbidding
railroads to issue free passes. 1t was
not so understood when the bill was
under consideration, however. The
proviso permits "the interchange of
passes for the officers, agents, and
employees of common carriers, and
their families" Every corporation en-.
gagged in the transportation of oil by
means of pipe lines is made a com.
II carrier by the bill; and it Is
claimed that for this reason, the off
GERS, agents and employees of such
corporations and their families are
among those to whom railroads may
issue passes. There seems to be a
difference, however, between issuing
and interchanging passes. Yet the
railroads will hardly discover that diff
ference, if by ignoring it they can
give rebates under the guise of in
terchange of passes.

passes just as one railroad is entitled
to exchange passes with another rail

have prohibited this particular favor

FAVORABLE REPORTS
Of TRADE PROGRESS

er Observation-Disclosures
turerS Busy as Ever.

Weather conditions, says Dun's Re
view have again dominated trade, but
reports have become irregular, some sec
lions still complaining of unfavorable
temperature, while most dispatches re-
fleet the brighter results of tardy sun
shine Similar uncertainty is recorded
as to progress Of the crops, while the
cereal markets are responsive 10 the
strengthening influences of broader
foreign demand
1t is noteworthy that the manufac-
turers continue vigorously preparing for
future activity, regardless of any tenn
porary interruption to distribution by
the weather. The only idle machinery
is reported at footwear factories. where
spring deliveries are about finished and
fall contracts have not yet arrived
freely. This is a seasOnable event. and
the temporary reduction Of about one
third in active capacity is not an alarm
Ing sign. A few small strikes are also
interrupting manufacturers, but In the
aggregate a very limited part of the
nations producing power is inactive, and
most of the idle machinery is due to the
scarcity of labor. A vast tonnage of
freight starts out from lake ports with
earnings thus far reported for April ax-
coed similar figures for last year by 14.A
per cent.
No accumulation of cotton goods has
occurred in any position, the trade alb
sorbing everything that comes from the
factories. which, as a rule, have orders
so far in advance that there is no effort
to revive buying at first hands

There is stnl a marked scarcity OF
goods needed for prompt delivery and
much cross buying between different
jobbers and sections of country. The
feeling appears to be that with warm
scasOnable weather now due consider
able expansion in buying operations and
in collections is TO be looked for. This
improved buying has, in fact, material
lied where few days Of good weather
have interviewed. and ii is worth noting
that despite the bad crop reports from
the Southwest buying from that section
in the leading markets is still confident.
In manufacturing lines the story is
one OF filled order books and of back
ward deliveries. In cotton goods and
finished iron and steel products produc
