Says Congress Has Power.

Representative Brantley was intro
duced to the convention by Chairman
Terry as a well known states rights
man from states rights state
Il don't know why I was invited to ad-
dress you today said Mr.. Brantley. "for
know less about automobiles than ] do,
about anything else. I have no personal
interest in the movement, therefore, for
a federal license, but only the interest of
a citizen and a legislator. The only rea-
son for my being here that occurs to me
is the constitutional question that may
be raised in the fight for federal Ii
cense law for automobiles. When there
were hearings on bill for this purpose
before the House judiciary committee
two years ago l was impressed by the
remarks of a Mr. Hotchkiss. who appear

arguments before that committee also on
the bankruptcy laws and after he had
finished i made up mind that il I ever
was reckless enough to buy an auto

Two years ago the bill for a federal
license was referred to the judiciary COM
mittee. Now ii has been referred to the
committee on interstate and foreign COM

must have determined that no constitu-
tional question is involved in the proposed

This statement was made by Repre-
sentative William G. Brantley OF Georgia,
a member of the House judiciary COM
inittee. at the session of the national
legislative convention of the American
Automobile Association at the New Will
lard this morning. When Mr.. Brantley
concluded his address the members of the
convention arose and applauded him Wig
orously.
The convention, which is backing the
proposition for a national license issued
by the federal government to automobiles
travelling from one state to another, also
received a cheering message from the
farmers today. Nahum ]. Bachelor,
former Governor of New Hampshire, and
now master of the National Grange, the
great organization of farmers, told the
convention that the farmers had gotten
over their prejudice against automobiles,
and had learned the great assistance
which the automobilistS were lending to
the movement for good roads throughout
the country.

Welcomed by Rudolph.

y letter from Cuno II. Rudolph. Com
missioner of the District was read to
the convention, in which Mr.. Rudolph
welcomed the delegates to the city and
said that he was sorry that stress of
work prevented his being present at the
opening of the convention. He said,
however, that he would be glad to see
the delegates at the municipal building
William Phelps Emo of this city ad-
dressed the convention on the subject OF
Traffic Rules" Mr.. Emo said, in part:
Al laws and regulations in regard to
motor vehicles should be uniform as far
as possible. First of all, the New York
traffic regulations and rules of the road
should be adopted everywhere, such
minor changes being made as are neces-
sary for the different cities and towns,
but the main and underlying principles
kept identical.
Enforcement of traffic regulations
alone will do away with a very large
proportion of the accidents Action by
the federal government for the District
of Columbia and the territories in this
matter would give a good example to the
rest of the country.

Automobiles Help Roads.

At the afternoon session yesterday Logan
Walter Page, director of the Office of pub
lie roads of the Department of Agricu-
ture, was the first speaker. Mr.. Page
gave a technical discussion of the effect
of automobile traffic and wagon traffic
upon roads. He declared that motor
cars help roads, or rather the automo-
bilists help the roads, and deprecated OPP
position on the part of legislators to au-
tomobiles. Mr.. Page spoke of the diff
fculties which roadmakers were expert
encing in finding binding materials which
would preserve the roads used by both
automobiles and wagons. He said that
he thought they were on the highway to
success.
William f. Soher of Boston sounded a
note of warning against the possible de-
fects of a federal license law for auto
mobiles. He suggested that states where
the laws were very strict I'm regard to
reckless driving might suffer if such a
law was enacted from the driving OF
men who came from other states.
Allen NJ. Fletcher of Vermont, Neal
Brown of Wisconsin and Arthur F'ifoot
of Connecticut went into details regarding
the automobile laws in their respective
states. declaring for a national standard
of traffic and license rules.

Airships to Be Regulated.

Il am a states rights man and Georgia
is a states rights state, but I am also a
United States rights man, and so is
every good citizen of this country. Po-
lice power in a state is the power of
sovereignty that exists in that state that
has not been delegated to the national
government We find that large police
powers were delegated to the government
of the United States, and that one of the
reasons for the Constitution was to give
Congress the right to control interstate
commerce. 1t may be that some day
men will come to Congress to get that
body to control the interstate commerce
of airships. And i don't doubt that
Congress will have more difficulty regu-
lating airship traffic than it will have
regulating automobile traffic.
THE United States Supreme Court has
held in the case of an interstate
bridge that when citizens walked across
that bridge they were engaged in inter-
state commerce, ust much as If they
had crossed the bridge with their arms
full of merchandise And so when an
automobile passes from one state into
another 1t, too, is engaged in interstate
commerce and can be regulated by the
government
You say that Congress has the right
to pass this law. j say to you that IL
that be true. then the state regulations
which impede interstate traffic of auto
mobiles are unconstitutional. The very
arguments that you urge in defense Of
the federal control of automobile traffic
would defeat these state laws II the
states have exceeded their constitutional
powers in enacting these laws you should
have these laws set aside In the courts.
The question may be raised that some
of you seek not so much the regulation
of automobiles by the federal govern
ment, but the evasion of the state regu-
lations which seem irksome. But, how
ever that may be, the day will come
when the federal government will be
compelled to take into it's hands the reg
ulatiOn of commerce by automobiles
Whatever appeal you make to Congress
should be predicated upon the right of
Congress. not only to protect and reglI-
late, but also to restrain and properly
control the growing commerce of the
country"

BANK DEPOSITS
ARE INCREASING
Combined Statements Of the
City DepositOries.
TOTAL DEPOSITS OVER A MILLION

Financial Institutions With Enyiable
Records.

The call for report by the bank ex-
aminer brought forth reports this
week from three banks, the Twin Falls
Bank & Trust Company, Commercial &
Savings, and the new but fourishing
Farmers & Merchants bank. The re-
port of these three with that of the
First National, appear on another page
and total up amazing deposits for a
city the age and size of Twin Falls.
The deposits from the four with the
two older banks leading, show the to-
tai of $1,623 ,443.51. The figures, while
rather startling In view of the size of
| the city, are continually growing
| showing that out of the past five years
of hardship and strained financial Gre
| dit, the business men are gradually in
creasing the available capital and still
are able to accumulate bank accounts
The report of the Commercial
Savings bank with a comparative
statement of it's deposits of the year
before show an increase of over dou-
1 BILE. While the Farmers & Merchants
bank, with less than three weeks o1
business, shows deposit account sell

AlDRICH URGES COMBINATION.
TO Control Affairs In the Senate-Ap-
proved by President.

Washington, May 4-Through the
formation today of an organization,
which its leaders claim represents
clear majority of the entire senate,
and to be made up wholly of regular
Republicans. a movement was started
to settle whether the senate shall re-
main conservative, become radical, or
be thrown into political chaos as far
as concerns any coherent policy on
the administration program.
Senator Aldrich called the regular
Republicans together and confronted
them with a grim description of the
possible effect of their apparent defeat
at the hands of the insurgent Repub-
licans and Democrats in the fight over
the traffic agreement section OF the
administration railroad bill. He ask
ed his associates whether they were
ready to submit to domination by such
combination. Any such surrender,
he warned them, meant the failure OF
the Taft policies and the downfall of
conservation control, not only in con-
gress, but in the Republican party
generally.
Some one reminded Senator Aldrich
that the senators then gathered to-
gether were not in agreement on all
points Whereupon he replied they
must get together and agree to stand
together and let the details be sec
ondary. Otherwise, he said, congress
would adjourn without accomplishing
single item of the Taft program.
The entire tone of this conference
was belligerent towards the insur-
gents. This was the dominant note ::
''Let us get together and stand as a
unit against every insurgent PROPOSE
| tion. If the insurgents propose any
thing good we'll take it over bodily,
| and put it through as our own II they
! propose anything bad, we'll stamp 1t
/ out"
1t was stated President Taft had
been kept fully advised of the situa-
/ ton and was entirely in sympathy
with the plan and virtually pledged tc
4 it. 1t was said in behalf of the con-
i ferences that the measures reported
i were heroic, they were necessary IL
defense of the administration and the
integrity of the Republican party an6
as a means of any effective Legislation
whatever To Senator Aldrich was
given the leadership of the new move
ment He left late today for Rhode
Island, and will not return before
Tuesday The plan meanwhile is tt
mark time" and hold the fort There
will be many conferences at the White
House and elsewhere to perfect the
militant plan. The intention is t
avoid test votes on any subject of i'm
portanee until next week.

Several well-known eastern capitalists
arrived here last Saturday, and after
looking the proposition over carefully
were very favorably impressed with
the scheme and will no doubt arrange
to finance the construction and equip
ment of the road in the near future.
The following gentlemen composed
the party, and on their arrival here
Saturday were guests OF the Burley

of Chicago; Captain Henry G. Garvey,

field. They were accompanied by Jesse
M. Wise Of Boise and E. ]. Hunter OF
Albion.
After luncheon they were taken in
autos out over the South Side project
to the pumping plant and thence to
Albion, where they were entertained
by the club of that place until Sun
day, when they returned to Burley and
| took the afternoon train for Twin
