IS OUTCROWTH
OF NECESSITY
Authority Employed by Govern
ment in Handling Big Ques-

so SAYS SECRETARY NAGFl
Secretary Of Interior in Address States
That Lines Are Drawn Too Close
Iy Between state and
Federal Authority.

Boston. Mass. March 1S.-'I am per-
suaded that many. If not all, the con-
ditions with which the federal govern
ment is now graphing. have outgrown
both the boundary and the power of
the individual sta-e; and that the op-
erations of the federal government are
nothing but the legitimate outgrowth
of necessity and the fair and reason
able employment of vested authority.
To me it is a matter of satisfaction
that the states will at all times and in
any event have more than enough to
do. There is a domain of government
which so long as this constitution
stands federal authority can never in
wade, and which must i'm the last anal
vidual state"
I This sentiment was the keynote of
the address of Secretary Charles Ma
gel of the department of commerce and
labor. in his declaration last night be-
fore the Commercial club Of this city
i'm which he discussed the question of
federal and state authority
The secretary's remarks were listen
ed to attentively.
Mr.. Nagel introduced his remarks
with an allusion to the growing appre-
hension that the old clash between fed
eral and state authority is to be re-
newed and said that it was assumed
in many quarters that federal author
ity was encroaching on state rights,
some of the bills now pending i'm con-
gress serving to bring this issue into
prominence. notably the proposal to
authorize the organization of federal
corporations, and i'm a measure also
the amendment to the constitution OF
the United States to authorize the in
come tax. II had seemed to him. how
ever, the secretary said. that perhaps
we dwell too much on the exact line of
cleavage between the two authorities
which after all go to make up one
government. Fair consideration for the
jurisdiction of each would i'm his iudg-
ment be more to the point.
