The part OF President RoCseVelt's
speech at indianapolis on decoration
day which has attracted most atten-
ton and eXcitel O comment is con-
tanned in the following extract:
Today | wish to say a word to you
about the first and most important
feature Of this task, control of COM
mon carriers doing an interstate bus
iness-a control absolutely vested in
the nation, while in so far as the COM
mon carriers also transport the mails
it is in my opinion probable that
whether their business is or is not
interstate it is to the same extent
subject to federal control under that
clause of the constitution granting to
the national Government power to es-
tabllsh post roads, and, therefore, by
necessary implication. power to take
all necessary action IN order to keep
them at the highesC point Of eff
cheney.
The Sun has ALREADY directed atten-
ton to this remarkable deliverance,
and there can be no doubt that it is
the most pOrtentOus utterance the
president has yet made. Not one Of
his predecessors IN Office has ever put
such an interpretation as this upon
the sever words of the eighth section
OF the First Article Of the Constitu-
tion-the clause which empowers con-
gress ito establish post Offices and
post roads"
The supreme court has never come
near any decision which put the presi-
dents Interpretation upon the simple
clause.
Secretary Root announced as a pos
sible program the change of the con-
stitution by construction. which would
deprive the states of powers they do
not use and commit them to congress.
Enumerating various subjects which
need national control, such as control
of insurance, uniform divorce laws,
child-labor laws and many others af-
fecting matters formerly entirely with
in the cOgnizance Of the state" Mr..
Root added:
ut may be that better control could
better be exercised in particular in
stances by the governments of the
states, but the people will have the
control they need, either from the
states or from the national govern
ment. and if the states fail to furnish
it is in due measure. sooner or later
constructions of the constitution will
be found to vest the power where it
will be exercised-in the national gov
eminent"
Mr.. Roosevelt's declaration may be
regarded as following up Mr.. Root
threat in due sequence. Lawyers may
ridfcule Mr.. Roosevelt's opinion of the
meaning of the clause of the constitu-
ton quoted above. But it must be re-
membered that whether the opinion OF
the president is now law or not law.
it may fall within his power to make
it law. Vacancies may occur on the
bench of the supreme court during Mr..
Roosevelt's term which he could east
" fill with men who share his opinion
men like Mr.. Root. for example
