CONTINUED from Last Week.
THE REMEDY
Congress shall coin the money and
regulate the value thereof and OF for
y eign coins."-(Const. Art. !, Sec. 81
mo state shall coin money, emit
bills of credit, or make anything but
gold and silver a tender in payment
for debt."-(Const. Art. /, Sec. 1O).
The above quotations from the Con.
~stitution are very short but express
sive and mandatory. Congress shall
coin the money and regulate the value
thereof" Congress has the power and
nowhere in the Constitution can be
found any authority for congress to
delegate that power.
In spite Of those plain, mandatory
directions the congress, at the sugges-
ton and upon the advice and recon-
mcndatiOn of Alexander Hamilton,
SECRETARY ri the treasury, authorized
the organization Of a bank called The
United States Bank" but which was
a private institution chartered by the
United States government and operat-
ed by individuals as their private bust
ness. Under the law each state was
permitted TO charter banks and allow
them 10 issue notes-coan money-for
currency in spite of the plain provi-
sions in the above quotations from the
Constitution.

financial evils which aflict humanity

ATTACKS U. S.

Ohense In Election Method, II Any,
Against State, Not Nation, At.
torney Holds.

Grand Rapids, Mich. Dec. %
Constitutionaiity Of the United
States election laws was ques-
toned in a.demurrer attacking the
indictments against Senator Tru-
: man Newberry and 1874 others, filed
today by Martin W. Littleton. coun-
sci for the respondents. The demur-
Ter also sets forth that q majority
of the counts in the indictments do
not constitute offenses against the
United States.
Request for a dismissal OF the
charges will be argued Jan. 5.
Interferes With states.
The demurrer holds that not only
are on charges constituted in the
! indictments. but the congress OF
1.-THE United States had no authority
40 constitute as a crime any Of the
! Jacts set forth as offenses in the first
five counts Of the indictment. The
,6claim is made that the general cleo
ton law of June %. 1910. violates
the constitution Of the United
States by interfering with the SOW
ereign rights Of the various states.
Congress, the demurrer adds, is
without authority to enac: laws
regulating the acts and conduct uf
citizens in any states who may be-
come candidates in nominating con-
ventions. in primary elections or in
general election. The general
election law is also unconstitution-
al. 1t adds, for reason that congress
has no authority to prescribe
qualifications for members of the
house or senate except as in article
one of the constitution of the
United States, which in effect
makes congress judge Of the quail.
fications of its own members.
Can't Cavern Expenditures.
The claim is also submitted tC
the court as a reason for setting
aside of the indictments tina: con-
gress has no authority to fix tht
maximum sum which may be spen'
by any candidate in seeking ncmi
nation or election and that in fix
ing this limit at $4,000. it becomes
grossly discriminatory as amoni
the 4S states.
