Roosevelt, the Explorer

It is generally agreed that President
Roosevelt is entering an uneXplored
field of judicial Interpretation Of the
Constitution when he suggests that the
Federal government has tho right to
control railroads under the provision
of the Constitution which empowers
Congress to authorize the building of
post roads. John Randolph Tucker, in
his work on the Constitution, says:
."ro make a road for other Dur-
poses and with other intent than for
postal purposes, under cover of this
power. would be neither necessary nor
proper, but a fraud on the Constitu-
tion. The fair construction of the
whole clause therefore. is that as mails
can only be carried on roads upon the
land, the power to establish, not make
Or construct, post roads was intended
simply to grant the power to make
t!Iem II there wore none already made
where roads We're necessary for postal
purposes. -. The power Of Congress
to build q railroad where necessary and
proper for postal purposes or for mil
&5tary purposes must be conceded as
necessary and proper to carry out cx-
press powers granted to Congress: but
tits quite another thing to claim that
= itShas power to build 1t as a regulation
of commerce."

The Post Roads Clause.

1t is known that President Roose-
welt some time ago called on the Inter-
state Commerce Commission for an
opinion as to whether the post roads
clause of the Federal Constitution
gave authority to the national govern
ment to build ana operate n railroad
for other than Nost.l purposes. While
It is impossible to outline positively
the opinion returned by the& commits
! sion, It is understood that it was held
that the government would have the
power TO build q railroad for postal
PURPOSES and for military purposes and
that such road could engage in the
transportation of interstate freight and
passengers, but could not carry intra-
state passengers and freight

though Congress would pass rate bill
unsatisfactory to the railroads, the
strongest States rights advocates We're
the railroad people. But the States
have got busy since then. The rate
bill passed by Congress has really done
more to benefit the railroads than any
piece Of legislation ever enacted, haN-
s ing made it possible. to " shake out
the rebaters and the pass-reccivcrs,
without having reduced any charges

enacted by the State Legislatures, as
we'll ar the orders of the Corporation
Commissions of Virginia, North Car

close to the railroads.
