SUSTAINS ACTS

Flexible Provisions of Tar.
iff Are Sustained as
Constitutional

WASHINGTON, Feb. "a (P-The
constitutionality of the flexible pro-
visions of the tariff, whereby the
president may raise or lower import
duties SO per cent, was upheld today
by the United States court of GUS
toms appeals. The question prCb-
ably will be carried to the supreme
court.
The court held that the delegation
Of such authority to the president
was a valid exercise of the consti-
tutional grant of power to congress

is to equalie the difference in cost
of production in this and the prin

ing the question of constitutionality,
J. w. Hampton, Jr., and company.
New York importers, contended that
the flexible provision section att
tempted to delegate to the president
power to Iegislate and to tax, which,
only can be exercised by congress-
The section is not a provision for
taxi duty, Or excise, it was asserted
by counsel for the Hampton COM
pany, but is solely for protection Of
American industries, and as such was
illegal The court held broadly that
in foreign commerce, the power t.
regulate included authority to levy
discriminatory duties and the right
to prohibit. This legislative right
was held to be absolute.
In interstate commerce, the court
ruled, the right to regulate includes
power to prohibit when the nature
Of the traffic prohibited requires
such action for the public welfare
In such cases, the court said, the
test was the character of the ac.
prohibited, and when there is no
reasonable ground, resulting from
public necessity such prohibition Of
commerce should not be upheld. The
constitutionality of the flexible tariffs
provision was raised after the presi-
dent had increased the duty on

Hampton company from four to si.,
