There has been much dispute as to
much cotton is required to make
a pound Of powder. and Commerce
and Finance takes it upon itself to say
that the proportion is about n and

that Commerce and Finance is usually
quite careful to state its facts cor

1t is pretty generally recognized
that all constitutional powers not spe-
officially delegated to representatives

seem to us that If n would argue
that the legislature has no right to
delegate authority to the people, the
would be that such delegation
is unnecessary for the reason that the
specified authority necessarily abides
with the people already.
