The Tariff Law

suit now pending in the United States court OF
customs appeals attacks directly the constitution.
atty OF the tariff act Of 1922 containing the So
called flexible provision, by which authority to fix
tariff rates is delegated to the president Of the
United States. The suit challenges the authority OF
congress to delegate its taxing power to the presi
dent.
The genera! claim is that the federal legislature
cannot delegate its exclusive grant of power to leg
slate that it cannot delegate its exclusive power tc
tax, that taxation be fixed, definite and GER
tain.
In looking over the act as passed in 1922 it can
easily be seen that the section deegating taxing au
thority to the president its face and by it's con.
text. clearly shows designed object to be accom-
plished 6ther than the raising Of revenue The ul-
terror motive is clearly the securing and mainte-
nance Of special policy of protection as distinguished
from taxation On this ground, therefore, there is
very good chance that the petitioners in the court
Of customs appeals will succeed in having the law
declared unconstitutional.

scarcely knew which way he went.
He rose and peered into the shad-

could hardly believe that Perry
Heath had really been there, and had

His brain was bemused, his usually

he thought it all over the more it
puzzled him.
He wished he had rushed after
Heath as he went away. wished he
had raised an alarm, even If he
hadn't caught the man. The story
was fishy,-that's what it was
fishy. And there he had had a
chance to distinguish himself by
catching and holding the elusive
Perry Heath, and he had let the
chance slip through his fingers. He
should have grabbed the man, and
called for help from the servants of
the Anderson household. Those SER

For long time it has been recognized that the
klieg lights used in moving picture studios have
had deeterious effects upon the eyes Of those who
have had to work by their light Investigation has
proven that it is the Short ultraviolet rays that
cause the damage, but very little has been done to
alleviate the condition except to have the actors
wear dark goggles between scenes. It is a peculiar
thing that there has been but little research carried
on to make the lights themselves less dangerous and
to obviate the need for the goggles
Now, however, it is understood that glass screen
has been found that will shut out the short rays
that are dangerous and will permit the balance of
the light to filter through.
In order to use the screens, however, over
the lights, it will be necessary use yellow or white
flame electrodes in the arc lights and to sensitize
the Photographic film to the yellow and red region
of the spectrum.
Naturally these changes will entail considerable
| expense and trouble but industry which ranks
| as high as the moving picture industry does should
not hesitate over an expense which will guarantee
better eyesight to high salaried actors and
many cases Of blindness.

Suppose Gen. Lincoln c. Andrews arrangements
with England and Canada and Mexico really put
stop to the smuggling Of liquor into the United
States. Will that dry up the country?
The prohibition unit was authority, months ago,
fQx the statement that the amount of genuine snug
eElei xtuf ~sar<shc market throughout the country
was less than per cent Of the total. Cutting off
less 'tHan per cent Of the present available sup
ply will not make an app,ecablc difference. Do
nestle production probably will increase to offset
even that. There may be falling off in quail.
ty hut it hardly appears that there will be much
reduction in quantity.
However Gen. Andrews is aso taking steps to
prevent further leakage of industrial alcohol, for
reclamaton dilution and sale, doctored up. real
old pre-war wet goods If he succeeds, this will
produce real impression, at least for time. But
moonshine? How about that?
The moonshine industry, already big one, is
susceptible to indefinite expansion. Andrews talks
about getting it under control, but the supply, at
any rate in wet centers remains fully equal to the
demand. The general has now been nearly year
on the job 1t if he ought to have had it
under some sort Of control already, If it can be
done.
The difficulty in combating mOonshinng is that
the industry is profitable even though plants must
be replaced at the rate Of dozen annually. Under
urban conditions, operators risk capture, well
their STILLS but in the country the mOonshiners,
often as not escape At liberty, all they have to
do is re-cquip and start in again.
Gen. Andrews remedy is "severer laws" His
idea is that production of liquor can be suppressed
H1t. lean be made sufficiently unpleasant for tn.
producers. when caught, and that bootlegging vii
be ended when there longer is anything to boot
lex.
But can he get the laws? This is very dry con
gress. Yet it adjourned without passing the legs

ter II not, there is no prospect of dryer one
What advantage in dryer one, anyway? This on
is dry by three-quarters majority, at least r
turn the trick it looks il all wet sources must b

1t is conceivable that smuggling and industrial al
eohol may be safely damned up, but moonshininl
is a harder problem to solve Until Andrews find
the answer to it he hasn't his fight.
