DEMOS TAKING
new INVENTORY
Party Seeking For Leaders
After Losses of Last
General Election
BY BROOKS

AUSTIN, June 24.-1n its search
for a political Moses to lead it back
TO the light of party harmony and
power, Texas democracy soon will
begin a painstaking inventory Of
what resources were left from the
debacle Of Hoover victory last year,
according to party adherents.
SO far the search has been fruit
less, as to finding any one leader
who can supply the leavening yeast
Of a restored party spirit, though
democrats say the time Is early and
leadership may be found in ample
time to ~rejuvenate the battered or
~ganization.
The leaders so far are faction
leaders Of the conflict which split
the party worse in 1923 than at any
time since reconstruction days.
The disorgan.zation in Texas and
the apparent need Of a little Mus
solini medicine are both brought In
clear relief by the efficient work
ing OF the republican patty ma
chine, oiled by a 100000 campaign
fund for the 1890 governorship and
the 1892 presidential races in Texas.
Texas democrats likely, 1t was
said, will undertake soon some sort
OF rally or reorganization. The
aim of such reorganization will be
TO select party workers-not candi-
dates for office-who will give OF
their time. energy and money to-
ward bringing the party back to
unity In the state.
There are two major factional
groups In the state, but as one
more sharply defines the party ele-
ments, up to half a dozen fairly
distinct inter-party elements may
be found.
Governor Dan Moody as a candi-
date for governor in two cam
paigns. has been the central figure
Of the party. John Boyle Of San
Antonio perhaps may be regarded
as the outstanding leader Of the
group which in the last campaign
was designated as the pro-Smith
democrats. Thomas B. Love and
Alvin Moody share leadership of
the anti-Smith faction.
In other states. party adherents
have been called together for
emergency first-aid resuscitation OF
the badly-sunk party.
The party reorganization was ex-
pected to come from the independ-
ent. spontaneous action of large
numbers of democrats, not candi-
dates for office and not interested
in the candidacy OF any individual.

In Directing to this transfer Of a
dangerous power we do not seek to
destroy or hamper the Tariff Commits
sion. The Tariff Commission was created
under the revenue act of 1916.
1t was created as a fact-finding body,
with full powers of investigation, and
with the duty to report to Congress
its findings of fact for use in the
writing of tariff bills.
In the Fordney-McCumber act of
1922. the law was so changed as to
provide for filing of these reports with
the President. whereupon he was given
power to change the rates as already
stated.
Duties Increased.
Since 1922, the President has acted
on some 81 reports, and in almost all of
them except five, the duty has been
raised to the full extent allowed by the
law. while the five instances in which
there was reduction were compare
lively insignificant Among the five
decreases made will be found paint
brush handles and bob white quail:
while among the increases are to be found
window glass for the home, pig iron,
the base metal for the farm machinery,
structural steel and tools, and straw
hats of the cheaper type worn by those
unable to purchase the higher grades.
Almost on the day when the Presi-
dent raised the duty on pig iron under
the flexible law, he refused to reduce
the duty on sugar although the Tariff
Commission recommended such a re-
duction.
Not only do we insist that Congress
has no right to confer upon the Presi-
dent the power to tax the people, but
we insist that it is unwise to do it, no
matter who the President MAY be or
what party he may belong to. This
fight is not a fight over personalities
1t has no more reference to Mr.. Hoover
than to Mr.. Coolidge or Mr.. Wilson, or
any President who may be elected in
the future. 1t is no answer to our OBJ
lection to say that the power will not
be abused by any particular President.
We think it has been abused in several
instances in the past. and we have no
assurance that it may not be abused
at some time in the future.
And If 1t is legal and wise to author
ize the President to change the tax
rates so per cent, why not go the whole
length and empower him to change
them at will? And If we can delegate
to him the power to levy L to change
tax rates in a tariff bill, why not go on
to the logical conclusion of the propo-
sition and authorize him to levy all
forms of taxes, including income taxes.
excise taxes and every other form of
tax? In other words, If Congress can

eminent directly chosen by the people.
For this reason the Constitution pro-
vided, and still provides, that every bill,
whatever its size or nature, which pro-
poses to tax the people in any form
shall originate in the body which the
people themselves directly elected. Not
withstanding the people now elect their
Senators by direct vote, this provision
Of the Constitution has never been
changed and the Senate cannot yet
originate bill levying single dollar
in taxes upon the people of the United
States. But Congress, as a whole. has
been asked to delegate to the President
what 1 believe to have been the exclu-
sive power conferred upon 1t by the
Constitution, the power of legislation
and of taxation.
Not only did our forefathers who
framed the Constitution intend to give
to Congress the exclusive power of tax
alton, but they likewise intended to
give Congress the exclusive power to
eXpend the revenues raised by taxa
ton. The Constitution stipulates that
mo money shall be drawn from the
Treasury but in consequence of appro-
priationS made by law"
BY reason of this provision, neither
the Presidents nor any other executive
officer can expend dollar Of money in
the Treasury except by the authority
of an appropriation for that purpose
made by Congress.
Powers Of Taxation.
1t was the undoubted purpose Of the
trainers of the Constitution, and has
always been the purpose of the people.
to retain control of the purse strings of
the Nation; to retain in their own hands
the power to raise funds by taxation
and to expend them after they are
raised.
Hence, we ask ourselves and the
country the question: How can Con-
gress with propriety attempt to sur
render responsibility which has al
ways rested upon 1t and delegate that
responsibility to the head of the Gov
eminent, or any subordinate of It? How
can the chosen Representatives of the
people seek to Shirk this duty by at
tempting to shift it to other shoulders?
And If they had the power to do it,
why ought they be permitted to do it?"
In Directing to this delegation of
power from Congress to the President,
we stand upon the broad foundations
Of the Constitution under which this
Nation has witnessed the most remark
able development and expansion which
has occurred in the history of man
kind. The Constitution has been
changed In many particulars since writ
ten; but it has never been changed by
so much as a syllable in respect to the
power and responsibility of Congress
over legislation and taxation.

even II in part legal or wise, would
lead to its illegal and unwise expansion
in the future;
Because the people are entitled to the
opportunity to hold their chosen rep
resentatives responsible for the man
ner in which they levy taxes upon them
and expend the money after it Is levied:
Because we believe that President
Hoover was right when, in the cam
paign last year, he stated in q speech
in Boston that
1.-THE American people will never con-
sent to delegating authority over the

It Is for this sound. fundamental,
well stated principle that we are fight
ing. We are seeking to maintain the
foundations Of parliamentary govern
ment. We are seeking to preserve the
only kind of taxation that Is not
tyranny, which is taxation with repre-
sentation, taxation which is imposed
upon the people by their chosen agents
in tlao Congress which they have estab-
lished and which is their only free and
open forum.

Third-In kindred strain they charge
that the tariff power is taxing power
which must remain with Congress.
The answer is that the power does
remain with Congress when the Fresl-
dent can act only within limits which
Congress itself prescribes. and when
even this narrow administrative license
can be summarily withdrawn whenever
Congress wills.
Consider an analogous situation
