. Rhode Islands Initiative.


Rhode Island has not yet contested
the prohibitory amendment in the
United States supreme court, but it
may do so. Representative Jacob A.
| Eaton S resolution, offered in the house
OF representatives at Providence,
seeking an immediate decision by the
supreme court on the constitutions
atty of the action of congress in pro-
posing the prohibitorN amendment,
has been referred to the judiciary
committee of the Rhode Island house,
and the sentiment of the committee
ana of the house is said to favor the
passage of the resolution. In what
manner may a state contest constl-
tutlonal amendm ent? 1t may do so,
undoubtedly by bringing a. suit be
lore the court for the declared pur-
pose of obtaining such an opinion as
is asked. Presumably the ninth and
tenth amendments TO the constitution
offer the basis for such a proceed
ing. The ninth amendm ent is as fol-
lows:
The enun1 Grafton in the constitu-
ton of certain rights shall not be
construed to deny or disparage others
retained by the people"
And the tenth amendment is:
United states by the constitution, nor
prohibited by it to the states, are re-
served to the States respectively, or
to the people,
Rhode Islands contention. if the
state decides to make it, is that con-
Gress never received from the states
power to alter and transform the sys-
tenn of government in the manner in
which the prohibitory amendment al
ters it, that the resolution of con-
Sress for the subm iSsion of the
amendment was therefore an act out
side of and beyond the power of con-
gress; and consequently that the
amendment itself is void. If the
state should decide thus to contest
the amendment before the supreme
court, we sec no reason why the court
should not be required to listen to
the suit; and upon it's decision in
the case would rest the question
whether or not the mendm ent stands
upon exactly the same footing AS all
tie other amendments which arc now
an integral part of the organic law
It is not to be supposed however,
that any proceeding which Rhode
Island or any other state may now
take will have the effect to suspend
pSiioiIiS9 1iiS hSClSIoiI, tllt OpCI dIlOn Oh
the amendment, which has now been
formally proclaimed as a part of the
constitution.
Mr.. Eaton's resolution before the
Rhode Island house calls attention to
the interesting circum stance that
Rhode Island was instrumental in
proposing and bringing about the
adoption of the first ten amendm ents
to the constitution. known as the bill
of rights, which include the two ar
ticles quoted above. AS one of the
sponsors of these measures of secur-
ity for the rights of the states, Rhode
Island may be regarded in the present
proceeding as seeking to guard the
guarantees which she then obtained
and this circumstance at least adds
dignity to her present contention

UTAH A. A. OFFICIAL
IS KNOCKING TRAIL

W. d. Rishel, secretary of the Utah
State Automobile Association with Of
fees at Salt Lake City, in a letter to
the Reno Journal, tells about the con-
dition of the Overland Trail. His let
ter reads as follows:
II have read an article in your issue
of July twenty-ifth saying that poor
roads have directed traffic from Reno.
THE writer, manager of the Tour
ing Bureau of Salt Lake City, which
routes all tourists, east and west
bound. 1t is true that we are not
now, and have not been for some time,
sending tourists over the Overland
Trail. We realize that the Overland
Trail is the logical route through Ne
vada, and it is the road that ought
to be used for tourist travel. Condi-
tons for the past six weeks over this
route are such, however, that it IS
next to impossible. The complaints
registered in our Office were so bad
that we had to change the routing.
AS a result we are now using the
route as outlined by the California
State Automobile Association, going
south to Carson City, and Reno is
certainly losing tourist travel.
There is but n remedy, and that
is to fix up the Overland Trail. If
the business interests of Reno do not
get busy and cooperate with Love
lock, Winnemucca and Battle Noun
tain to have some concerted action
taken to improve this route. Reno with
the other towns will lose the tourist
travel altogether.
MY idea in writing you is merely to
confirm your story that you are losing
automobile tourist travel. and also
hoping that it will make you people
living along the Overland Trail take
some concerted action to improve it.
OF course | realize that many of your
business men will say that Reno is on
both the Overland Trail and the Lin
coin Highway and that you will get
the traffic anyway, but unless the
Overland Trail is improved the final
routing will not be via Reno, but south
of Ely to Tonopah and into Califor-
mia south of Lake Tahoe, as this is
a better road than the Lincoln High
way"

Because a man is in the American

everywhere, but why accuse straig ght
off the Americans because the robbers
had on an American uniform. At 10

ognize such a uniform, especially
when the man took to his heels in a
