The credit for originating the house
OF governors, which is soon to meet III
the White House, belongs to William
George Jordan Of New York city. The
strangest thing about it is that Mr.
Jordan is not a politician and has had
little TO do with public life. He is an
editor or, rather, is a reformed edi-
tor who has become O student and
author. In other days he presided
over the columns of the Saturday

FIRST HOUSE OF GOVERNORS

Origin Of a Body Formed
to Consider the Conserve
ton of Natural Resources
of the United States and to
Discuss Uniform LEGISLATION
on Any Desired Topics. ::
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1910-01-13

not meet the demand In an A(feuuate
way; therefore 1t is an absolute ne
cessity either to have the states do the
work, acting in concert, or to enlarge
the federal power. Experience has
shown that the people will not amend
the federal constitution. Four hun
dred and thirty-five attempted amend
ments have failed in congress. OF the
lew adopted none of them adds any
new powers to the national legislature
Thus the states alone may be relied
on to do the work. But the states
acting separately fall short and pro-
duce confusion They must act in har-
mony. How better can this be brought
about than through a yearly meeting
of their chief executives?
What House of Governors Might Do.
Another important function that
could be performed by the new body
would be the initiation of constitution
al amendments. The constitution it.
self provides for two methods for its
OWL amendment. one originating in
congress, the other in the states. AS
a matter of fact, the only amendments
that have been adopted were those
originating in congress. The house of
governors might become an avenue
through which to start them in the
states.
Mr. Jordan has coined a word to
describe questions that belong in the
domain between the federal power
and that of the individual state. He
calls it "omni-statiaL" The distinction
between legislation recommended by
the house Of governors and that enact
ed by congress he defines rather hap
PLY by denominating the one united
state action, the other United States
action. The attempt to stretch the
constitution SO that it will cover sub
jeets not contemplated by the fathers
he illustrates by reference to the pres
idents appeal for legislation against
the white slave traffic Now, every
decent man believes there should be
such legislation, but Mr.. Jordan con-
tends that it should be enacted by the
states and not by congress. The clause
under which most of the federal usur-
patton has been justified is that giving
congress power to regulate commerce
between the states. Whatever may be
said of the other attempts at federal
regulation based upon this provision,
he does not believe that by the widest
stretch it could be made to include
the white slave traffic. In other words.
the rather elastic phrase commerce
between the states does not include
sexual commerce
The national government has in
vaded fields that the fathers intended
to be reserved to the states for the
potent reason that the states them
selves had refused or neglected to act
The reforms attempted were neces-
sary. but in the contention of the
founder of the house of governors the
usurpation was all the more insidious
because of this fact. Whatever may
be said of salutary measures already
passed, however. there is a large range
Of subjects over which congress never
can and never will exercise jurisdic-
ton and which the states acting singly
cannot handle Here united state"
action is the only solution of the prob
lem

Why It Must Come.

The house Of governors will become
a permanent fixture in our national
life because of the need for it 1t is
inevitable Congressman represent their
districts Senators more properly rep
resent the states. but only in their
relations TO the nation. The governor
represents the state in its relations tt
the other states This is an Important
distinction, one involving the funda
mental idea in our dual scheme OF
government
The house Of governors will come
because it stands for home rule, be
cause it is founded on the idea of fun,
danentai democracy The meeting OF
this year is really the first one Of the
body proper, the first called by its
own members. therefore the day OF
its conTening may become one OF his
toric Importance to the nation. Con
temporaneously are held a convention
for uniformity CT laws called by The
National Civic alliance, another for the
conservation Of national resources and
still others dealing with kindred move
ments.
