STATE CALLS DRY LAW
AN INVASION Of RIGHTS
Rhode Island Brief Asserts Civil
Liberty Is Endangered; States
Deprived Of HoVers.

The eighteenth amendent us q Ci-
rect invasion Of jurisdiction and pow
ers Of the state and the rights OF the
people," the state Of Rhode Island de-
clares in its brief filed in the United
States Supreme Court yesterday in reply
dismissal of its action to obtain in
junctive relief from the amendment.
The brief, which was filed by Attor-
ney General Herbert A. Rice OF Rhode
Island, asserts that the governments
view that the amendment 10 unas-
and oppression" 1t contends that it Is
the duty of the court to keep Congress
in It's amendments to the Constitution
within the scope and jurisdicton Of
federal authority" and maintain that
line of division between federal and
state powers which has for SO many
years Insured the harmonious opera
tion Of our dual system Of government
-ordained and established as perpet-
ual.''
The theory Of the government els 50
subversive Of fundamental principles
that its acceptance would bring about
p constitutional revolution" continues
uld convert the sovereignty
of the people into q sovereignty Of
officials. It would endanger civil lib
erty and those innumerable rights
that have been inherited from the
common law since the time Of magma
charta. Under its application the
boundary established by the Constitu-
tion between federal and state au-
thority could be shifted at will as off,
cials might be Influenced by political
cowardic. or expediency. In fact all
power might be absorbed by the fed
eral government and the states be-
come dependencies, states only In
name, for the mere purpose Of having
equal representation in the Senate"
The brief declares that Article v Of
the Constitution relating to amend
ments only provides for the "correc-
tion Of errors committed, in framing
the Constitution and that the
amendment functions" of Congress
are limited.
The proposal Of the eighteenth
amendment ''te the states" the brief
asserts. is unconstitutional "and iOa
revolutionary proceeding; Heretofore.
it is stated. Congress has proposed
amendments ITO the legislatures Of
the several states"

DISTRICT TO APPEAL
VAULTS DECISION
Error in Law Claimed in
Denying Under-Side-
walk Rentals.

The District government will take
the street vault rent case to the
United States Supreme Court. Cor
poration Counsel Francis II. stephens
| apnounced today.
Mr.. Stephens said he would ask the
highest tribunal for writ of Ger
tiorari on the ground that the Dis
trict Court of Appeals erred in aues-
tions of law in its decision yesterday.
The Court of Appeals held that the
District cannot collect rent Tor street
vaults in front Of business places
which were built prior to the passage
of the law in 1916 authorizing the
District to charge n rental for vault
space under the sidewalk.
In rendering this decision tho ap-
pellate court reversed the District
Supreme Court, which held that the
District could collect rental on the
vaults that were built before the pas
sage of the act of 1916.
Agreed n to Evidence.
Mr.. Stephens said both sides are
agreed as to the evidence in the test
cases before the court, but that ne
will take them to the United States
Supreme Court on points of law.
The case is an important one from
financial standpoint both to the DIS
trict and the business men. The books
Of the assessor show that there are GA
street vaults in the city, on which the
total annual rent would be $24.001.49
IL rental could be charged for all OF
them
A great majority fthe valuts. how
ever, were in existence before 1916, so
that If the decision Of the Court OF
Appeals holds the District will not
be able to collect a rental on any Of
these cellars under the sidewalk
which were in existence prior to that
year.
Few Built Since 1915.
The decision Of the appellate court
leaves only a small number OF vaults
which have been built since 1915 on
which the District can collect rental.
The test cases were taken to court
about two years ago by the District
against Saks & CO.. r. P. Andrews
Paper Company and A. Lisner OF the
Palais Royal.
The contention Of these defendants
was that the building permits issued
by the District for tho construction
of the vaults constituted contracts.
which, they claimed. could not be
disturbed by Congress or the Com
missioners.

PRAISES POSTAL EMPLOYEES.

Congressman Martin b Madden
who has been so long identified with
the interests Of the postal employees
of the country by reason OF his posi-
ton on the postal committee of the
house of representatives, addressing
postal employees, has some kind words
to say regarding them. Speaking
from knowledge Of their work, he
says;
1t is pleasing to note the atri-
tude OF the postal men of the coun-
try, to know that they are tundameut-
ally opposed 10 strikes among gov
ernmenr employees; to understand
their disposition to cooperate with
the government for the Improvement
of the service, to realize that they
recognize the importance and ncCes-
eity of cooperation in the administra-
ton of government affairs between
the executive heads and the EN-
ployes, The country and the people
are entitled to the best service that
every government functinarY can
give II is the duty Of all who are
in the government service to lend
promote the happiness and Well-be-
ing of the whole people The first
consideration of public servants is
to render a service that will meet
the couniry's approval; to make such
service as popular as possible; To
make the people understand that the
public service is their service; that
public employment is the medium
through which those engaged in il
can best render the service demand
ed by the people,
Justice should De the aim OF all
public servants. To be just not only
implies the obligation resting on the
government servants to so perform
their duties as TO meet the approval
OF the people. but also to make ade-
Quate provision in the way OF com
pensation and working conditions for
the promotion of the well being OF
those who give themselves to the
service Of the country. Without such
provision it can scarcely be expected
that peace of mind and happiness,
and enthusiasm will prevail. With
peace of mind and happiness and en-
thusiasm and the proper disposition
to cooperate and cOrrelate there is I
no reason why every department of .
the government should not so func I
ton as to meet with the approval Of
the people Of the nation.
