evitably' cost the States heavily in both au-
thority and prestige.
In the final days OF the last session OF
Congress. alarmed supporters OF State iden-
tity and States rights. protested vigorously
against the piling up OF Federal control and
the consequent p!i!ng up OF Federal OK
penses and employees, apart from any i'll eff
reefs that may result from too much gov
eminent or too much Capitalization. Re-
poatedly attention vas called to Mr. Hard
ing's campaign slogan of less government
in business and more business in govern
ment."
There were pending when Congress- adj
Jonrned. and in all probability will be intro
Guced within few weeks with seemingly
excellent prospect of passage, number of
measures which will enormously increase
the bureaucratic activities OF the Federal
government. II is fact, moreover that mem
bers of the Presidents own party are among
the most Industrious advocates of this leg
islaton.
TWO bills came out of the last Congress
which have encroa,s!ed dangerously upon
the rights of the States. The. first was the
Nolstead act, which. under the Department
of Justices Interpretation, practically places
the State police forces under government
control in dealing with violations of the pro-
Esch railroad reorganization law This,
the courts have held, virtually strikes down
the control by State Corporation Commits

1t is not 10 be argued. OF course that all
these specific measures are wrong either in
principle or in effect. but the point that
concerns those watching the movement to-
ward greater and greater Federal power
is the disposition to meet all issues large
and small, through the agency of the Fed
erai government. instead of through the
reserved powers OF the individual States.
These people are asking where the move
ment will end, and will ii end, or be curbed?
Also they are interested in knowing whether
or not Mr.. Harding will take a firm stand
against them or whether he will forget that
he opposed more government in business
