Reasons for the decision to cur

ROTARY HEARS
TWO SPEAKERS
Expositions Given Of Con-
stitution And OF Mill
tary Cadet Life

Two speakers were heard at
the meetin~ of the Rotary Club
at theSkyland hotel today.
Crate Bowen, Miami attorney,
told the club that the demands
made upon congress by some Sec
tions and people of the nation
show that many people have no
idea of the limitations of the con-
stitution.
The constitution, he said, is a
delegation of power to congress,
and that body has no further
power other than that delegated.
The constitution, he declared, is
composed of the document itself
and the some 200 odd books of
interpretative decisions on the
document by the supreme court.
Most of the expenditures made
by the government, he pointed
out, have been made under the
clause providing for the general
welfare of the people. As yet
he said, no court has told US or
will attempt to tell Us just how
the term general welfare should
be interpreted.
1t. r. C. Boys, U.S.A., son of
R. w. Boys, of Tuxedo, spoke
briefly to the club telling of the
life of cadets at the United
States Military Academy at West
Point.
A resolution urging the mayor
and city commissioners to take
action on securing WPA assist
ance in the construction of a
combined gymnasium, dance pavil-
lion and convention hall, was in
troduced by H. F.. Buchanan and
passed by the club.

SHOLTz TO BE
HOME SEPT. z
Travels Unregistered To
Enjoy His Second
Honeymoon"

NEW YORK, Aug. %. (UP)-
Gov. Dave Sholtz, of Florida, will
return to Tallahassee about Sep
TENDER 2 and shortly thereafter
will appoint II members of the
state citrus commission, he told
the United Press late yesterday
when he arrived on the French
liner Isle de France.
The governor, tanned and fit
after taking the cure at Vichy,
was accompanied by Mrs. Sholtz.
He laughingly admitted to re-
ports that he was born in Brook
lyn and lived there before getting
into Florida politics after prelim-
mary training in Georgia.
The governor will stay in New
York two days meeting his chill
dren, who have been in a New
England camp, before leaving for
Florida.
He sailed secretly for France
on the Normandie some weeks
ago and said he spent all his time
at Vichy. Reason for keeping his
name off the Normandie's pas
senger list, he said, was that he
did not want to be bothered with
work during his second honey
moon" The governor intimated he
had feared pressure from organi-
cations and individuals in connec-
ton with appointment of the cit
rus commission.
The commission will be appoint
ed "in plenty of time, before mid
September, to handle the coming
crop" Inspectors will be able to
halt green fruit shipments and
generally regulate the trade.
Sholtz said he had received re-
concentrations for appointments
to the commission and indicated he
had decided the personnel which
will be published soon after he
reaches Florida.
"There is no cause for concern
about the citrus situation" Sholtz
said. "The commission will be ap-
pointed and inspection will begin
September Is"

D"ugbton Calls Conference
10 Consider NRA mea-
sures For January
By ARTHUR F. DeGREVE
United Press Staff Corresnondent

WASHINGTON, AUG. rs. (UP)
Weary members of the 74th con-
gress streamed homeward last
night, leaving behind mass Of
controversial legislation including
the soldier bonus, ship subsidy and
NRA which they will be unable to
dodge or kill when they meet again
on January 3, 1886.
A glance at some of these meas
ures indicates they will be suscep-
tible to log-rolling, the you-vote-
for-my-bill-and-Pll-v ote-for. yours
custom INDUCED in by members OF
both houses whenever an oppor-
tunity arises and especially during
an election year.
A S55,OOO,OOO raid on the treas
ury staged in the dying hours OF
the adjourned congress by coall-
ton of southern and western SEN
ators proved again the power Of
log-rolling tactics and gave hlnt
of what may come next year. The
agrarian coalition forced the ad-
ministration to, raise proposed
loans on cotton from 9 cents to
10 cents and guarantee producers
a two cents per pound subsidy TO
raise the average price to II cents.
The New Deal Welded only aft
er the senate had approved an
amendment to the third deficiency
bill calling for IL cents per pound
loans on cotton and 90 cents a
bushel on wheat. The house re-
fused to consider the measure
with those amendments and lead
ers hurriedly warned administra-
ton officials that subsidies might
be demanded also for corn, bar
ley, rye and other crops.
After series of conferences,
New Dealers agreed to tilt the
loan another penny. The third de-
ficiency bill was talked to death
by Senator Huey P. Long, Dem,
La, and further log-rolling was
prevented. There is, however, no
assurance that similar coalitions
may not seek subsidies for other
crops next year.
Meantime, AAA Administrator
Chester Davis yesterday said it
was "highly improbable" that cot
ton would drop below 10 cents a
pound. But if it should, he said,
the government is not committed
to the payment of more than two
cents a pound subsidy to produc-
ers to enable them to get II cents
a pound for their product.
Meantime, Chairman Robert L..
Doughton, D., N. c., of the house
ways and means committee was
preparing to call his group to-
pether in mid-December to con-
slider new NRA legislation de-
manded by President Roosevelt.
Similar hearings will be held by
the senate finance committee.
A vote on the soldier bonus bill
early next session was assured i'll
the house when a sufficient num-
Der of signatures were attached
to a petition circulated by Req.
Wright Patman, D., Texas, author
of the measure. Both houses pass
ed a bonus bill this session but the
senate sustained presidents
veto.
Mr.. Roosevelt, also will insist
upon merchant marine and ship
subsidy legislation at the next ses-
sion, it was learned. The house
passed the Copeland-Bland bill
few weeks ago but it died in the
senate. Action also will be de-
manded on the pure-food and drug
bill killed in the house after it had
been approved by the senate.
