about one third of the cattle. Should
the sea continue smooth, as now
seems probable. the greater part OF
the cargo will be saved, but a change
of the wind 10 the northwest would
expose the Minehaha to heavy seas
with hardly a chance of saving either
ship or cargo.

the liner off the rocks. She lies on
a big jagged pinnacle, nearly mile

ATTACKS THE
PRESIDENT PLAN
Tennessee Congressman As
sails the Federal Cor
poration Scheme.


Washington, Feb, 1.-The first at
tack on President Taft's federal cor
poration plan was made on the floor
Of the house today by Representative
Garrett, Democrat, Tennessee, indicat
ing that the Democratic altitude is
one of hostility. The dctrin OF
states rights appears to be the prin-
ciple obstacle in the legislative path
way Of the proposed law
Sovereignty rests not in the stat
es, nor in the United States, but in
the people" said Garrett. "The peo-
pie created federal entity as an
agency for the execution of certain
sovereign powers. The states pos
sesses the power to create corpora
tions before the constitution was
delegated"
The proposition to delegate this
power was discussed in the consti-
tutlonal convention, he continued,
but was not granted.
The power to create corporations
to carry on transportation. declared
the speaker, was a different thing
and might be constitutional because
transportation companies exercise
the functions of government in em-
nent domain and other particulars,
but the power to create federal
corporations to engage in private
business be held to not even mat
ter for debate
''lhe constitution Is not dead
thing to be kicked with contempt
from our pathway or troden into
the dust beneath our feet" said
Garrett in conclusion.
