BUGGY - The government VIII
! spring several surprises when the
famous New River power litigation
Is argued before the supreme court
at the next term. Attorney General
Cummings representatives VIII sum
mon Chief Justice John Marshall
as their chief witness against a host
of private utility lawyers headed by
Newton d. Baker.
Mr.. Bakers clients want to utilize
water from New River In Virginia
fer a private power plant. The gov
eminent opposes the grant OF q
water-power license on the ground
that the stream Is navigable and
therefore out Of bounds for private
utility exploitation. SO the question
bells down to the actual navigability
OF the river. Government counsel
have dug I'D records showing that 2
Virginia commission surveyed the
stream IN colonial days and conclud-
ed that II was navigable. The head
OF the commission was Mr.. Marshall
Here enters the "horse and buggy"
motif. The river was navigable 70
small ships In use at the time OF
Marshall's exploration, although
modern vessels cannot traverse It.
But the supreme court has held that
subsequent changes dc not invali-
date the original conclusions-once
navigable. always navigable. So In
this instance the courts 'horse and
buggy" philosophy may work to Mr..
Rocsevelt's advantage.
Issue-Republicans who are out TO
win. regardless Of the man TO be
/ chosen &c break Roosevelt, are try
ing TO hold back the enthusiasts I'M
I'll issues are better defined. They
calculate that court decisions will
demolish much Of ROosevelt's pro-

would have saved II and that he must
be granted power TO put his pro-
gram through. III this situation de-

Roosevelt vs.. the constitution.
Many COP politicians think that
Colonel Frank Knox is going too fast.
They regard him as promising ma
terial and they don't want to see
him whipped out before the actual
fighting begins

BONUS-The incident comes at q
particularly embarrassing time.
Congressional leaders have made the
bonus important business for the
January session. In a reelection
1t stands a good chance Of passage
even over another veto.
But the issue hangs by a thread.
Although the president will veto 1t
again he can let 1t slide through
simply by keeping hands off. Some
conservative interests formerly OPP
posed to full payment think 1t might
be a good idea to remove 1t from
politics once and for all Others
feel 1t might be advisable 70 put
more money In circulation. Against
these considerations is the admin
istration's unadvertised inSistence
on cutting expenditures more sharp
ly than most people realize.
A Legion-sponsored blast by Mr..
Colby may blow the bonus out Of
the 1886 political picture. More
over, the DICTIONARIES and the Vet

headquarters on Harrison avenue last night.
 The meeting was the first of a series to be held this summer and into the fall in preparation for the fall campaign in waterbury. Re- publican Town Chairman Freder- ick w. Palomba introduced the speaker.
 "one of the things which gave me the most pleasure last year was when the election returns came in to find that the republicans had substantially cut down the demo- crat majority in Waterbury" the speaker said. Under the leader ship of Fred Palomba, with the ad- vice and counsel of Judge John F. McGrath and with the assistance of you loyal workers, you gave the democratic machine in Waterbury hard jolt" MT Goodsell said.
 G. O. F. Alternative
 Turning to national affairs, the young speaker stated that, "The super-men down at Washington with their super-measures have been given their chance, unhind- cred and unhampered by the re- publican party, and they have failed. All through their ballyhoo, through the press and over the radio, the republicans have re- mained quiet, giving the democrat ic party it's chance-a chance they did not give Hoover or the republi- can party in 1880 and 1881. It's our turn now and we must offer an alternative to the New Deal {. and we have an alternative!-I re- fer to the high traff policies of William Mckinley; the anti-trust laws of Theodore Roosevelt; the policy of non-interference with small business of William Howard Taft; the policies of economy and lower taxes of Calvin Coolidge. Add to this the policy of minding our own business, of keeping clear of foreign entaglements proposed by George Washington and you have a program of common sense, a pro- gram which has stood the test of time, a program which will restore normalcy."
