Courts Will Determine Con-
stitutionality of
Provision.
RATE CHANGES SOUGHT
Democrats Contend Con-
gress Must Face Issue
Squarely.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
Washington, ID. C.. Oct. 2i.-The
so-called flexible provision Of the tar
If law passed by Congress, will be
tested in the courts TO determine its
constitutionality.
Already various interests which are
bound to be affected by the forthcom-
ing action of the tariff commission are
anticipating court procedure TO learn
definitely whether Congress can dele
gan its tariff making powers.
The tariff commission is at work on
several petitions for a change in rates.
The commission probably will present
its first recommendations in four prod
ucts-casein, which is used by book
publishers in coating paper; paint
brush handles; wall pockets used 10
insert brushes and other articles, and
sodium nitrate.
To Get Opinion.
Whether the rates are increased or
diminished, the companies affected are
said 10 be anxious TO make sure that
the action of the commission when
proclaimed by the President is con-
elusive. Under the law, the President
acts on Recommendation of the tariff
commission proclaiming the changes in
a formal way. Mr.. Coolidge will ask
Attorney General Daugherty for an
opinion. no doubt, before issuing any
proclamation.
The opinion of the attorney gen.
eral ordinarily would be sufficient to
prevent an appeal to the courts, but
the tariff is such 4 far-reaching affair
that what might suit one group of in
terests would not perhaps satisfy an
other group and the validity of every
action of the tariff commission would
remain in doubt until some federal
court decision was obtained. The in
terests planning to bring suit are
friendly TO the law, but want to feel
sure of their ground before conduct
ing their business under new rates.
Before putting the flexible provision
into the tariff law, Congress debated
it at length. Constitutional lawyers
differed as TO the validity of the pro-
posal. Those who opposed it declared
that Congress cannot delegate tariff
making powers and that change in
tariff rates is change in government
income and the House of Representa-
tives alone can initiate revenue legisla-
ton under the federal constitution.
Those who favor the law, argue, or
the other hand, that the Legislative
branch of the government has not dele.
gated its powers. but has simply estab.
lished certain limitations within which
the President, acting on Investigations
made by the tariff commission is au-
thorized by Congress to proclaim rate
changes. 1t Is contended that the dele
CATION of certain discretionary powers
in the chief executive by Congress has
again and again been sustained by the
courts.
Even, however, If the flexible pro-
vision is declared unconstitutional. the
other parts of the tariff law would not
be inyalidated nor would the commits
sion be abolished as its investigating
machinery is particularly valuable to
Congress and American manufacture
ers.

is the first essential of the flat rate

in efficiency, and with efficiency there
is no chance to lose.
According TO MIR. Iscake the flat

interests of the public in that it alb
prevents overcharging but
benefits mechanics and owners %
shops where it is used. He said that

learn in good time, but it is, almost
Impossible to compute the cost to
the roads.
1t is on the basis Of the returns
now in, and on the average record
for previous years, that the grand
total for 1922 is estimated. In 1919
the wages loss was $805,000,O00 an
the production loss three times as
much. The grand total for 1920 was
81 100000. Last years total
run close to the average Of the years
Immediately preceding.
Waste; Nothing but waste! Is
there no way to save that huge loss?
Are we to assume that year after
lear we must expect an average" or
an abnormal" loss from strikes?
Must, we carry an item to cover il. in
our budgets? The very suggestion
is serious criticism of our democratic
institutions.
Comparatively few strikes are sue
cessful even from the workers view
point What they may gain in
wages rarely compensates them for
the losses they and their families en-
dure. The cast economic loss to the
community at large has to be con-
sidered. Also the aftermath of Bit
terness which often affects industry
and politics for years after settle
ment has been arranged.
Our industrial progress and our
permanent prosperity depend on our
finding way to end this private
welfare. The vast natural resources
our country and the indomitable en-
'terpfise Of our people are not going
to enable us forever to go ahead in
spite of the strikes that hobble our
stride.
The man who shall bring about a
rapprochement between the, men who
earn and the men who pay the wages
in this country will be ranked among
the great, men in our history.

EDUCATION IN ARIZONA

Big Things are going on in the
educational field in Arizona
First The State Board of Educa-
tion has so increased the standards
for the certificatiOn of teachers that
by 1927 every teacher in the state
must be a Normal school graduate.
This means a tremendous increase in
the efficiency of the entire teaching
system but the increase will be felt
most in the rural and small town
schools. 1t means also increased
usefulness and responsibility for all
of the higher intitutions of learning
in the state.
Second: The University of Arizona
by its summer cooperation with the
Northern Arizona Normal School
makes it possible for the teachers of
the state to steadily increase their
scholastic standing by working to-
ward an A. B. or even an A. M.
degree.
The Northern Arizona Normal
School is alive to these advances. 1t
believes that where there is no edu-
cation democracy perishes. And it
calls upon parents, upon school sup
erintendents, upon high school prin-
cipals and upon teachers everywhere
to interest the best of our young
people in the glorious service of
teaching.

steps in. 1t offers two years of
training in professional subjects
psychology, sociology, theory and
science of education), which makes
any one better citizen. In addition,
it offers art, manual art, home eco
nomics, music and physical education
A normal school diploma enables
the holder to render patriotic service
and at the same time to earn a salary
equivalent to the income on an inheri-
tance of approximately $4,000. And
all of this costs, in money, but a
trifie more than living expenses for
eighteen months.
And, finally, there is the matter of
state pride. Arizona stands third of
all the states in it's common school
system. 1t is one of the few states
to have the courage to say that by

The Arizona Central Bank con-
ducts general banking business in
all it's branches, including CONNER
cial and Savings Departments. Safe

The capitalization of the bank is
$675 100000, and deposits at present

It's customers are drawn from all
walks of life and while it is true
that the institution does not cater to
any particular classifcations, yet it's
growth, success, and expansion have
been closely interviewer with the
livestock industry of this section of
Arizona. Probably the main factor
in the we'll defined and we'll merited
success of the bank is the fact that
the average age of the men behind
the institution (as regards residence
ins this particular part of Arizona)
is in excess of twenty years and this
coupled with the progressive and
aggressive spirit of the institution
causes the bank to stand alone. un-

shown a steadily increasing volume,
not only compatible with the growth
of this community but even ahead of
it, and the four branches have been

favorable for this section. The saw
mills will be operating at full-time
for some time in the future. This is
very desirable on account of the
steady payroll feature attached to
them. The livestock industry is
strong here and there is no question
but what this is a good stock country.
Then there are two other things
that will play an important part in
our future, the power development of
the Colorado River and the develop
ment of this city into a nationwide

different parts of an expanding busi-

present day spirit of the Arizona
Central Bank has been, and is, one
of unselfish service to this section of
the state and no other one enterprise
has contributed more to the stability
and expansion of this section of the
Southwest than has this institution
Along this line Vice-President Will
son stated: Il think a bank should
use its best efforts and those of it's
employees to aid in the upbuiIding
of the community in which it is
located. A bank may exert a very
powerful influence, not only in
financial but in a civic way"
The bank owns it's own building
which is located at the corner of
Leroux st. and Aspen Ave, and the
phone numbers are 27 and %. The
Arizona Central Bank has the exclu-
sive franchise for an electrically
