Constitution a Back Number
Under Last Administration.
VIEW OF SENATOR RAYNER
Declares There Is No Authority fol
Postal Savings Banks.
CONTRASTS TWO PRESIDENTS
Opposes the Measure Not Upon Its
Merits, But Upon Consti-
tutional Grounds.

Protesting that there is no authority
in the United States Constitution for the
establishment of postal savings banks.
Senator Rayner today, in a speech in
the Senate, declared the Constitution in
the last administration was a back num-
Der and in state of coma.
Il know the Constitution under the last
administration was in a state of col
lapse" Senator Rayner said, during his
remarks. Upon a number of occasions
upon this floor 1 attempted to show how
it received blow after blow. until it was
almost sent staggering to its grave. The
predecessor Of our present President,
whatever else he may have been, was
not student Of the Constitution; he did
not care for it's restrictions and did not
consider himself bound by it's lfmita-
tons. We have an occupant of that office
now who is thoroughly familiar with
the landmarks of his power; who, with
his judicial temperament, will not only
hold himself in equilibrium, but proposes
to hold in proper poise and balance the
checks and safeguards of governmental
pnuor

General Welfare Clause.

"He has never said in his messages to
US under what grant of constitutional
power he has proposed this important
legislation. One thing I feel sure of, and
that is he will never regard the general
welfare clause Of the Constitution as an
Independent grant of power. Such an in
depreciation as this would convert us into
centralized government of inherent and
unlimited functions: would sweep to OBJ
livion the reserved rights of the states;
would render the enumerated powers of
the charter absolutely superfuous and
unnecessary; would give Congress the
right to pass any legislation whatever
that. in it's arbitrary discretion or from
political motives. 1t may determine upon.
and, in my opinion, destroying the au-
tonomy Of the state and obliterating the
inviolable declaration of the tenth amend
ment, would make such a gaping wound
in the heart of the Constitution that the
blood that gave it life would wither In

Objections to Early Vote.

After the postal savings banks bill
had been under discussion for two hours
in the Senate yesterday and two amend
ments had been made to the bill as 1t
came from the committee, Senator Carter
asked that the Senate agree to vote on
the measure next Thursday afternoon at
4 o'clock. He was promptly met by
an objection on the part of Senator Hey
burn.
When the consideration of the bill was
resumed in the Senate yesterday, Senator
Shoots amendment. providing for the
withdrawal Of funds from banks that Will
not pay "a per cent interest was de-
bated. Senator Bristow protested that
the amendment would permit the with
drawal of the funds from the banks, the
very thing we have been trying to avoid -
Following a suggestion made by Senator
Burkett, the amendment was modined
and was then agreed to.
The Senate also agreed to an amend
ment of Senator Cummins, providing that
the withdrawal of postal funds shall be
paid from banks in the state in which
made.

Not Considered on Merits.

Senator Rayner said he had not con-
sidered the merits of the postal savings
bank bill, and was not Influenced by
banking interests. but opposed the meas
ure on purely constitutional grounds.
II have not" he said, been able to
find any constitutional ground whatever
for this measure. No one who has read
the Constitution Of the United States
will contend for a moment that it comes
under any of the express powers Of the
instrument, and the utmost that will be
claimed for it. 1 suppose, is that under
the eighteenth clause of section 8 OF
article / it is the necessary and proper
law to carry into execution the dele
gated powers. I have searched in vain
for any decision sustaining this con-
tention. 1t is not law necessary and
proper to carry into execution the clause
which gives Congress the power to bor-
row money on the credit of the United
States, because this enactment does not
purport to be for any such purpose"

Question of Authority.

Conceding that the government has a
right to organize a bank as an instru-
mentality of government, he commended
that no such purpose was embraced in
the pending legislation He also argued
against any possible contention that the
proposed law was authorized by the con-
stitutional provision regarding post Of
fees.
Mr.. Rayner took up a statement made
by Mr.. Burkett that authority is found
for the legislation under the general well
fare clause. He declared that there is
no general welfare clause in the Con-
s1itution as in independent grant of pow
Or. and that no text writer, no COM
mentator and no court has ever an
nounced the proposition that Senator Bur-
kett cOntended for.

IN INVESTMENT ACTION

An opinion was handed down by the
supreme court Friday reversing the judg
ment of the lower court in the case Of
the Salt Lake Investment company
against Jesse M. Fox, appellant.
The action was brought TO quiet title
TO certain lands In this county which the
company claimed by tax title for the pay
ment OF taxes from 1896 to 1905, amount
Ing to $2TS l3. Judge Ritchie of the dis
trict court rendered a decree Quietlng the
title I'm Fox provided he paid the COM
pany the taxes. amounting TO the above
sum, within thirty days. This he failed
10 do and a decree was entered quietlnS
the company's title to the land.
The supreme court holds that this de-
cree was not supported by the findings
and the evidence. as there was nothing
10 show that the company had the pos
session OF the land or was entitled to it's
possession. The judgment is reversed and
the case remanded with instructions to
enter a decree in favor OF Fox and give
the company lien on the property for
the payment OF the taxes as stated, and
unless the amount is paid within thirty
days then the property is to be sold un
