Billion Asked
For Defense
OF Nation
By KINGsBURY SMITH

President Roosevelt today esti-
mated that it will cost the Amer
lean people in excess Of 1000 mil
lion dollars to protect themselves
from foreign dangers in the fiscal
year 1897.
He estimated, in his budget
message to Congress, that it will
cost the United States $193, 000,-
900 more to maintain an adequate
national defense in the 1887 fiS-
cal year than it cost it during the
current fiscal year. However,
this included an increase Of $149,-
326,956 for rivers and harbors,
leaving the increase for military
defense purposes around $43, 000,-
600.
Near Peace Time Record
The minimum sum he esti-
mated would be needed for ma.
tional defense in the 1887 fiscal
year totalled $1,065, 500. 305. 1t
will represent the second time in
the entire peace-time history Of
this country that it has been
found necessary to spend approx
mately 1000 million dollars on
national defense.
The rebirth of militariSm in the
old world, the hopeleSsneSs Of any
general disarmament in the near
future, and the grave danger Of
another general European conflict
developing out Of Italy's cam
paign of conquest in Ethiopia
were seen here as responsible for
the necessity of increasing Amer
ica's national defense eXpendi-
lures by nearly so million dollars
over the current fiscal year.

the Navy Department totaling

AT BILLION
BY GEORGE DURNO

President Roosevelt today laid
before Congress budget message
which failed to include any esti-
mate of the Nations work-relief
needs for the fiscal year begin
ming the first of July.
By inference, Mr.. Roosevelt ad-
moniShed Congress that $780,
100000 was the absolute limit
that could be appropriated for
relief purposes. He promised that
a supplemental budget message
on this subject could be expected
in about so days.
Leaving work-relief temporarily
out of the picture, today's mes
sage, as read to both Houses, as
serted the Presidents confidence
that his budget policy is succeed
ing because "the figures prove
it," He said:
'We can look forward today
to continued reduction Of def
cts, to increased tax receipts,
and to declining expenditures for
7 BILLIONS ASKED
Exclusive of work-relief, the
President presented a budget for
the year 1867 calling for total
expenditures of $6,752,606, 370-a
decrease of 1898 ,00O. 900 from COM
parable figures for the current
fiscal wear.
This m a mt - still excluding
work-relief = that the President
estimated q deficit Of $1,098, OO0,-
600 for 1887, which would be less
than the gross deficit for 1896 by
$2,136. 100000. He declared:
Therefore it follows that by

ton for wOrk-relief at this Ses.
sion is less than $2,136, 900, 900, :

Justice Roberts said the
court regarded the AAA proc
essing tax as indispensable to
the whole farm act scheme.
He then went to considera-
ton of the general welfare"
clause of the Constitution - a
clause never before completely
construed by the court.
The general welfare" clause,
he said, qualified the power Of
Congress to levy taxes.
View Of Government
The Government, he said, con-
tended that Congress has broad
power to level taxes for the ''gen-
eral welfare" and that the courts
could not interfere.
Justice Roberts agreed that Con.
gress has the power to levy taxes,
and, if so, to pay out money for
the general welfare.
The justice said the court &C.
cepted the Hamiltonian theory Of
the general welfare" clause aS
against the "Madisonian" theory
that the clause means little.
While accepting the Hamilto-
MAN theory, he said, the court
nevertheless holds that there are
limits to its exerciSe-that the
Federal Government is one Of
enumerated powers.
The court, he added, Is always
reluctant to declare q statute OF
Congress invalid.
The case, however, did not re.
quire the court to define fully the
general welfare clause.
Other Considerations
Other considerations, he said,
made the AAA unconstitutional.
Congress, he said, has authority
to regulate agriculture.
He said Congress could not use
the taxing power-Such as the pro-
cessing taxes-to control agricul'
ture.
He cited the child labor tax case
as a precedent.
The plan of the AAA, Justice
Roberts said, is not ain essence
voluntary"
The Government, he added, has
commended that Congress can pay
out money for a voluntary plan
of farm production control. The
operation of the act, he said, shows
that it is involuntary.
But even if the law were volun.

viewed by the governor in his
private suite in the Hotel Hide

Ellis Parker, noted Burlington

Hauptmann innocent of the Lind

investigating the case for months,
was present at the interview.
Hauptmann claims that FiSch,
Q former Bronx, N. Y, furrier who
died in Germany in 1884, left the
thousands of dollars of Lindbergh

blamed FiSch and a mysterious

interview in the Governors hotel

known, but it was learned that
Parker showed the foreigner pho
