! DEFENDS POLICY
Elliott Roosevelt Clashes
With Governor in Texas
Party Meeting.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
AMARILLO, Tex. June 8.-The
responsibility of making the first party
choice between traditional States
rights and the administrations recov-
cry program since the Supreme Courts
N. R. A. decision rested today with
the Young Democrats of Texas.
The issue was sharply drawn in an
exchange on their convention floor
between Gov. James V. Alfred Of
Texas. champion of the Constitution
and the right of each State to regulate
its own affairs. and Elliott Roosevelt,
son of the President who called for
Interpretation of the basic law lin the
spirit in which it was written" and
called it "darned up-to-date article" "
An open test was assured when the
Resolutions Committee voted to to
submit a resolution opposing any
amendment to the Constitution giving
Congress power to confer on the En-
ecutive Department authority which
the Supreme Court in its decision
against N. R. A. said it could not have.
Defense Dramatic.
The President s son came Gramatl-
cally to the defense of his fathers S
administration last night in a direct
answer to an address in which the
Governor had pleaded for States
rights and strict Interpretation Of the
Constitution.
Il think Gov Alfred is hot under
the collar about something he dOeSn t
have to get worried about" Roosevelt
said. addressing himself directly to
the Governor.
Gov. Alfred has made some remarks
about the N, R. A. how badly formed
1t Was-the doer of a great many in
justices. The President of the United
States agrees with him"
He drew prolonged applause when
he continued:
Il think We can honestly say that
you here in this hall feel a darn sigh.
better than you did two years ago
Whether it was the N R A or the A
A. A. or several Of the other unCOn-
stitutional acts that have been passed
l cannot say.
Sees Recovery Sure.
But any way the country is COM
ing back and the President will abide
by the will of the people, and if the
will of the people says he is overstep-
ping his bounds I am sure that he
will withdraw his acts"
Alfred joined in the applause. Com
menting later on the exchange. Alfred
said:
Il admire the young man for his
pluck"
The issue before the convention took
on more than local Importance be-
cause of the presence of delegations
from half dozen Southwestern States
and because the gathering is the only
major Democratic meeting between
the Supreme Court decision and a
Middle Western Republican conference
in Springfield, III.

SHR|NERS WARNED
OF TAXI GOUGERS
Roberts Declares Some
Drivers "0ut to Make Kill
ing" at Convention.

A warning to Shrine visitors that a
small minority of taXicab operators
here are out to make killing during
next weeks conclave was issued today
by Peoples Counsel William A. Rob-
erts, but he coupled with it reaSsur-
ance that almost 1000 cabs Will be
operating at the usual lower rates.
Roberts said only about 100 cab
drivers had applied for increased rates
during the convention.
Visitors Asked to Help.
Thousands of our taXicab drivers
will be doing their best TO give the
visitors adequate service under trying
conditions" he said. Help protect
them against the 'gyp' driver"
The peoples counsel said numerous
reports had reached his office that
certain taXicab operators plan TO make
killing" during the convention.
Visitors and residents should know
that Washington taxi rates are not
fixed by public authority but by the
drivers" he explained. However, the
law specifically provides that the cabs
must charge the rates on file with the
Public Utilities Commission. These
rates cannot be changed except on 10
days notice to the commission.
1000 to Operate 'aS Usual"
Less than loo cabs are reported
by those who nave applied FOR IN
creased rates which could be effective
during the convention. That means
that almost 1000 cabs will be cperat-
ing at the usual ra yes of 90 cents for
trips within the first zone, 80 cents
for trips from the first to second
zone, so cents to third zone and 10
cents maximum charge in the third
zone
The public rates must be shown on
a sign ConSpicuouSly placed On the
windows of the cabs. There IS a zone
map posted in the riding apartment
of each cab. There is no occasion
for any one to he overcharged if he
will examine this sign before entering
the cab
1t has been suggested that some
drivers will demand engagement of
the cabs at hourly rates. Visitors are
advised that they are entitled 10 ride
at the posted zone IateS

though business interests decided to
be clean and honorable in their lobby
ing, they can't get away from their
old habits"
"The old method Of lobbying" he
added, consisted Of bribery, black
mail and entertainment. That was
abandoned for the modern method Of
really trying to ascertain public SEN
timent and representing it to mem
bers Of Congress.
But the investigation already has
shown the unfair methods used, the
fake kilograms with names taken from
city directories, the millions spent to
deceive us on the utility bill.
"I have no objection to legitimate
lobbying. It is extremely desirable
to learn both sides of any question,
and to know what the people want,
but these methods make that impos-
sible."
