lee system, according to the amount ot fees they collect or according to the number of people who are brought into their court and convicted. we will be establishing the worst judicial svs , tenn that this country or any other country has ever been cursed with.
 For another reason I am opposed to this bill l am in favod of State rights, and 1 could not help being amused at my friend from Maryland 1 CMr. Bruce), gentleman for whom have the every highest regard, stand Ing here while ago and talking 1 about this bill in the matter of few birds flying around. and always-rais- ing hallelujah because somebody is attempting to interfere with the Maryland liquor law. Which is the greatest curse to this country, the birds that fly over us or liquor?. Yet he made a great5speech, very fine speech, and l enjoyed Very much his description of the various birds But he objected very, seriously to anybody going over and taking any part inl tEe Maryland whisky business, but actu- ally wants the Government to- take charge of the birds, saying the differ ence is that the birds 7do9notabelone ] to anybody. Neither does the liquor. If it 'does belong t1 anybpdy yfehtff is afraid to.0wn it.
 Mr President, why7should' we keep on with this legislatien? It .tdoes seem to me that the time has come when we should call hal and not try to fegislate everything under Federal control .The 'Governmen5 is.atakme charge of the water powers. They have taken charge of the railxoads. They have. taken. charge of everything, almost, known to the world, ,Iand now they come here and say We .Wart, to take charge of the birds. We want to. take charge of the game
 I agree thoroughly with the gentle men who are opposing this bill. l think the time has come when we should take~up matters of legislation, as the Senator from Washing1onahas said, worth something to is'country, like his radio bill, farm legislation, legislation on behalf of the eXse}Nice men, as my friend from Utah, I think, suggested, and other matters equally important tThe time we havetleft of this. session wesshould devote to some thing that will give. freedom and Min erty and enjoyment to the people of this country, and not something that is aimed to abi:idge the risht& cd.-l the people, to take from the individual the small liberty that he has left.
 As 1 said in the beginning-and I do not want to be misunderstood4I have no objection to people hunting or fishing. That is their privilege I have no objection to giving peoplesthe right to enjoy thelnse Ives in any way they please. believe'lthe greatest democracy on earth is to let every man do just exactly as he pleases1 so long as he does not trample uponl the rights of his neighbor. If I had the writing of platform I would get two honest men for candidates for the presidency and vice presidency, and would be willing to risk my chances on winning a victory for the party by having a platform to read as follows: "Stand by the Constitution of this country; give to the people the lib critics guaranteed therein, and dv hot try to deprive them of all the privi- leges they have had in the past given to them by God and by their Govern ment."
 MT. King. Mr. President, will the Senator permit an inquiry?
 The Presiding Officer. Does the Senator from South Eafolina yield to the Senator from Utah?
 MT. Blease. Certainly.
 MT. King. A number of years ago the State of South Carolina-I am not referring now to any notification ordinances-stood for local self-gov- ernment. Some of the greatest states men our country ever produced came from the State of South Carolina. They contended for local self-govern- ment. The Senator has referred to
