TARIFF REVISION WOULD BE
CONSTITUTIONAL
Saws The Texas Weekly:

"'Whenever the Congress shows so little
regard for its sworn duty under the Con-
stitution as it showed when It enacted the
Bankhead Act, not only ought its action be
invalidated by the Supreme Court, but the
courts decision in such event ought to re-
ceive the fullest support of public opAn-
ion." ... 49,
According to the view of The Weekly
the federal power exercised under the
Bankhead Act is much greater and much
more Objectionable and dangerous than
the power exercised under the Agricultur-
al Adjustment Act. Therefore, The Week
" takes the position that it is unfortunate
the United States Supreme Court did not
invalidate the Bankhead Act before knock
ing out the AAA; and, discussing the re-
quits of the Courts action in invahdaung
the AAA, The Weekly asserts that there
is perfectly constitutional way OF deal
ing with the cotton situation and with our
economic situation generally" -.
The Weekly then proceeds to point OUT
that the American tariff wall is not sacred
under the Constitution; that Congress has
power to lower the tariff wall or pull It
down, without violating the Constitution;
and this can be done by majority OF Con-
gress and the signature of the President on
an act of that body. The Texas paper
wants to know why political leaders and
farm leaders appear to be willing to take
any course (even that of adopting clearly
unconstitutional measures) rather than
tackle the job of revising and reducing
tariffs.
The Texas Weekly contends for the
view that the tariff system has always
handicapped agriculture and that the pres
ent troubles of the American farmer can
be banished by lowering tariffs and re-
opening world markets. The national Dem
ocratic platform of 1882 declared for that
course, but the administration has made
no effort whatever to carry through that
pledge to the people, with the result that
the Republican high tariff wall remains
intact. In fact, as has been pointed out by
numerous newspaper and other comment&-
tors, the Republican high tariff policy ap-
pears to meet the complete approval OF
the present national administration. fhe
party in power and the Republican party
appear to hold similar views on the subject
of tariffs.

While they could not understand
Blaise's moving onto their farm
and into their house without their
consent, the Galatians could not
believe that their old neighbor Art
Blaise was working for the Union
Central or somebody else for the
purpose of doing them out OF
their all, after all the hard years
and hard work, and with "Mom's"
health in the condition that it was.
They were sure there was some
misunderstanding and that Blaise
and wife would move out if the
Galatians came home and allow
Fletcher and his wife to move in.
But when Fletcher arrived and
he went to see Art Blaise he was
informed by Blaise, that he, Blaise,
had lease on a part Of the farm,
the part the house and buildings
were on, from the Union Central.
That the Union Central had can
celled the contract, and that the
agent had put him, Blaise, in pos
session, had broken the locks of
the house and put him in, and that
he, Blaise, was going to stay on
the place and farm the. land.
Fletcher, a young, inexperienced
man in regards to law, did not
know what to do. Here he was
with his wife and babies and no
home or farm. He wrote his faith
er, but Hurschel could not move or
leave the sick wife and mother,
nor even inform her of the turn of
events for fear of it's effect upon
J her. And now to make matters
worse, in the latter days Of
March, Hurschel was infected with
bloodpoison, which put him OF
his back, So he could not move OF
3 do anything for three months.

They were dunibfounded. The!

CANTo DOMINGO, oldest settle- C ment of white men in the western hemisphere, has taken on a new appearance, and a new name. It is now Ciudad Trujillo (Trujillo City), in honor of the Dominican Republics president and dictator, Gen. Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Moline.
 Founded in 1496 by Bartholo- new Columbus, brother of Chris- topher, the city became one of the most historic in this part of the world. From here sailed Colum- bus, Cortez, Pizarro, Ponce de Leon, and others on their explora. tions. Near here the first gold was found by white men in America. And now the ancient city, newly named, is being rebuilt.
 An example is the great George Washington avenue, wide, tree- lined boulevard stretching along the coast and presenting mag nificent view of the harbor. The stamp below is one of four issued recently on completion of this thoroughfare. It pictures the new boulevard and President Trujillo.
