Our Daily Washington Letter Power of President Roosevelt Is Question Point
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

Washington-A large gob of the Roosevelt emergency legislation, according to rather common opin- ion here, is headed straight toward the supreme court.
 It will take quite while to get there and no one knows what cir cumstances we will then be in, but the issue of constitutionality has been raised at least every other time an important new measure has come up in congress.
 Optimists are confident that the courts so-called Liberal majori- ty" will take cognizance of the stress of the times and the emer- gency nature of the Roosevelt pro- gram. And it's likely that Presi- dent Roosevelt will have been able to appoint a man of his own choice to the court before the test cases begin to reach it. But that is not sure, and several measures have been passed after some of their supporters wondered whether the highest tribunal would ventually turn thumbs down on them.
 Imitation Questioned
 The measures for imitation, the 30-hour week with a minimum wage provision, farm relief mu- nations embargoes, beer, banking and securities regulation and gov ernment reorganization are few of those which have been ques- toned. Lawyers in the department of justice have been studying steadily so they may be table to support any measure of the admin istration that may be taken into the courts.
 The enormous and unprecedent- ed delegation of power to the pres ident by congress presents the most controversial issue from the con- stitutional point of view. In some cases congress is delegating to Roosevelt and members of his cabinet discretionary powers which seem obviously within its own pro- vince of legislation.
 Sometimes measure is pro- posed which allows the admins tration choice of one, all or none of several alternatives-as in the imitation measure and the farm bill. Or the president may be given drastic powers which he may in yoke when and if. in his judgment and after investigation, certain contingencies arise.
 The resolution enabling the pres- ident to declare an arms embargo against a single nation is one ex- ample-as are certain provisions of the Black 30-hour week bill in the form favored by the adminis- tration.

sLAPPING STATE BANKS
.(Hartford Times)


 Insurance of bank deposits seems certain to pass congress during the present session, declare the corre- spondents at Washington. after a conference of President Roosevelt and several leading senators. Chair man Glass, of the banking commit tee, seemed particularly pleased at the prospect. Easy sailing" he now predicts for his bill which in- cludes the deposit insurance feat ure.
 The president is said to have favored 10 per cent insurance only of deposits of $10,00O or under; larger deposits to be guaranteed at lesser percentage. The guaranty, of course, comes from the national banks as a whole, pledged to com mon support of troubled col league. Really, the federal credit Is to stand back of the guaranty. as 1t is plain enough that the reserve and national banks soon will be servants of the federal treasury, which. as matter of reciprocity, win he in honor bound to stand by them.
 The idea fthe bank insurance plan is double. Primarily it is to give better. security to depositors in national banks, members of the reserve system. Not much below this aim in importance is the sec ond one, destruction of state banks by offering a competition which they cannot meet.
 Obviously. depositors faced witf a choice between guaranteed de posits and non-guaranteed deposits will forsake the latter for thu | former.
 We cannot say that we fall il love with the idea that the fedora government may legislate stat, banks out of existence. Whateve we think of 1t, the prospect seem to be looming if we are to credi the reports from the national cap ital.
 | There may be slips between tn cup and. the lip in this matter | When n senate can perform as
 did, yesterday. evidencing a. coali ton between republicans and silve democrats to oppose the admins tration in a banking and currenc, i matter, we should say that 1t 1

 This summer at York, England, the centenary of the hanson cab will be celebrated, some celebrators riding in a new-style motor taxi cab which embodies certain of the virtues of that open-faced convey ance. It was at York that Joseph Aloysius Hansom. inventor of the vehicle. was born; he called it his ''patent safety cab." Hansoms were such a feature of the 1S90's that tho mere mention of them serves to recYeate the era in the minds eye.

READY FOR ACTION

 It does not appear that the state as a whole can find fault with tho three men named by Governor Cross to the state liquor commis- sion.
 Senator Frank s. Bergin of New Haven, the chairman, was mem Der of the original commission which drew up the governors liquor control measure. John Buckley of Union. federal district study com mission. Samuel Spep- cer of Suffield, former lieutenant governor of the state, is the third member.
 All three men arc in politics in the sense that they have held po- litlical office, but none is in poli- tics in an invidious sense. All three stand well as efficient and. capable citizens of tho state. Two are republicans and one demo- crat, so that the governors claim that the appointments are mon politicap is we'll sustained.
 What the state now desires is action. With two of the three members of the commission al- ready as conversant as anyone in the state with the details of the new legislation, there is all the less reason to fear further delay in Interpreting or making effec- tive control bill which admit tedly is somewhat complicated.
 We cannot reasonably expect the committee to make up all the time which has been lost. but we do expect that 1t will impose no unnecessary. delays and will en- deavor instead to give the state the signal to go ahead just as soon as possible.
 With a control measure after his own specifications and. q com mission of his own choice to en- force it, Governor Cross should now have a chance to demonstrate to the state that liquor and ,poh- tics need not be mixed.
 He refers somewhat dubiously to the arrangement as another noble experiment." May 1t meet with better success than that other noble experiment which 1t is sup. posed to replace!

Intent Defined
 The supreme court, in an opin- ion delivered by Chief Justice Taft, said that congress had de- scribed clearly it's policy and plan in the tariff act.
 But "it is a breach of funda- mental law if congress gives up it's legislative power and transfers it to the president" And ''in deter mining what it may do in seeking assistance from another branch, the extent and character of that assistance must be fixed according to common sense and the inherent necessities of the governmental CO., ordination"
 'The true distinction, therefore" said the court, lis between the del- egation of power to make the law, which necessarily involves discre- tion as to what it shall be, and conferring an authority or discre- ton as to it's execution, to be ex- ercised under and in pursuance of the law. The first cannot be done; to the latter no valid objection can be made"

tions-if the Roosevelt measures are to stand on the statute books.
 Nearly all the arguments center ing on the constitutionality of the various delegations of congress sional power to the president are based on hte case of J. w. Hanp- ton, Jr & Company versus United States, decided by the supreme court in 1928. This decision upheld the flexible provision of the Ford ney- -McCumber tariff act enabling the president, after investigation of differences of production costs In competing countries, to alter tariff rates. The Hampton company ar gued that, if it were allowed to stand, congress could then com init the fixing of the rate of ev- cry federal tax to the executive branch.

WESTERN TITLE
To OWESTLAND

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 81
The West amateur golf champion
ship of 1888 rested with Jack
Westland, of Chicago, today by
virtue of his 3 and 2 victory
over Rodney Bliss, of Omaha,
the Cornell University star.
Westland's greater experience
stood him in good stead from the
twenty-seventh hole on when
wavering putter spelled the de-
feat of Bliss, runner-up for the
1888 National intercollegiate
championship.
Bliss was one up at the end of
the morning nine and was only
one down at the close of 18
holes. But the 2O-year- old youth
began to Waver on the last nine,
three-putting to lose the thirty
first and thirty-second.
Westland, runner-up to Francis
Ouimet in the 1881 National
amateur, took hold of things on
the next two holes with even par
to protect his three notch ad-
vantage and win the title.
Several of Bliss tee shots were
off color earlier in the match
and he did no better than halves
when Westland gave him open
ings on the first, sixth, eighth
and seventeenth with cratic ap-

Mrs. Frank Demaree, wife OF
the youthful Cub centerfield,
has unique explanation of how
Frank happened to bat his way
into the big leagues.
It was when Frank was play

game he started to drive away
from the park and had a COLI
sion with another auto.
After berating the other driver
at considerable length the young

over Harris was happy, but silent.
He is going to run the club for the
rest of the season along his own

in the shadow of dismissal, it was
taken to mean that he will be
tried again next season.
Harris says that Fox and Owens
have hit their stride, and the
Tigers will be better as the season
advances. The young men are
working hard to finish in the
first division. The Tigers man.
ager said that Fox is a smart
fielder and is beginning to hit the
