THE TREND TOWARD NATIONAL
CONSOLIDATION


Whether for veal or woe we are
not at this time prepared to say.
Our present purpose is to note the
invasion of state authority by the ma
tional government. The original
scheme of a dual form of govern
ment, wherein local affairs were with.
in the jurisdiction of the several stat as,
and subjects of nation wide interest
were delegated or granted to the Fed
eral authorities, is undergoing rapid
change.
The central government being the
more powerful has easily advanc ed
it's activities W..
To enumerate all congressional en-
croachments would be difficult task.
It will suffice to call to mind that
the Federal government among other
activities, through its multiplying bu-
reaus and commissions, now exercises
Jurisdiction over all the waters OF

version and the development Of their

all commerce within as among the
states, regulates business and man
ufacturing concerns, determines the
age of the workmen to be employed
in manufacturing industries, regulates
their sanitation, has charge Of the
public health, directs the development
of agriculture and the conditions of
labor, undertakes to promote and if
possible to create markets for farm
products, limits or prohibits issues
of securities by many private corpor-
atoms and enterprises, creates pri-
yate corporations by special enact

lord in the world, prescribing its
own laws for its tenantry, and wholly
independent of the states wherein its
domains are located, directs and finan-
ces the construction of highways with
no concern as to their utility for
post roads, assumes to guard and en-
force the morals and habits of the peo-
pie, prescribes regulations for and
imposes licenses upon the medical pro-
fession, investigates and prescribes
terms Of adjustment of local INDUSTRIAL

stantly enroaches upon the domain Of
the state police power, and has extend
ed the jurisdiction Of its courts over
the entire domain of human contro-
versy. 1t will soon assume the task
of general education.
The national platforms of each of
the great political parties OF the coun-
try contain planks favoring most of
these encroachments upon the powers
of the states, and so long as these
platforms are adopted without protest
the trend will continue.

To ENCOURAGE SALVAGE.

Following the policy Of rigid econ
Omy laid down by the secretary of war,
and with his approval the quarter
master corps hereafter will teach en-
listed men salvage work. A school
for training the personnel in the repair
of clothing and shoes has just been
established at Camp Jackson, S. c.,
and another school for the repair of
typewriters at Fort Mcpherson, Ga.
This training of the men will be
part Of the routine work of the salvage
shops, and additional schools will be
established as soon as possible at con-
venient points IN other corps areas. In
this way much material bought for the
war can be repaired and utilized for
the peace-tlme needs of the army, saw
ing thousands of dollars to the tax
payers.

More than One Million FIVE hundred
thousand pounds of Powder for the Feet
were used by our Army and Navy during
the war.
The reason is this: Incasing and combining
the feet in Leather or Canvas Shoes is
bound to create friction, more or less.
Aliens Foot=Ease removes the friction
from the shoes, and freshens the feet. IL
is this friction which causes smarting, cal
louses, corns and bunions. You,lnow what
