rs THE NEW FARM
RELIEF BILL CONSTITUTIONAL?

The administration farm relief bill,
using soil conservation as a means of
controlling production, has passed the
senate and is now in the hands of the
house of representatives. The senate
voted Sc to 20 in favor of the measure,
despite the opposition of many senators
of both parties who claim that this bill,
even as the A.A.A., is unconstitutional.
To many of us, that bill should be
enacted when there is doubt as to its
legality seems the height of folly. The
answer to such puzzllng procedure seems
to be that many of this country's most
important moves have been clouded in
doubt, as eXemplified by the Louisiana
Purchase more than a hundred years
ago.
In 1903. Napoleon Bonaparte, wag-
ing wars in Europe, was three million
dollars in debt to the United States and
needed more funds with which to carry
out his campaigns. He therefore offered
to sell the great louisiana territory,
spreading from the Mississippi to the
rocky mountains, and Thomas jefferson,
then president, considered the matter
seriously His cabinet advised him that
the constitution did not permit the pur-
chase of new domains, but Jefferson pro
ceeded with negotiations in spite OF the
unconstitutional danger The bill auth
oriZing the purchase passed the senate.
In the House there was every evidence
that it would be defeated, when Alex
ander Hamilton, Jefferson's arch enemy
issued statement to the effect that: l
am convinced jefferson is an honest
man. | am also convinced that the Loul-
siana Purchase will endure to the ben
eft of generations yet unborn Inc
statement had such an effect that the
bill passed in the house, and LOUISIANA
was bought for fifteen million dollars
twelve million in money and the cancel
lation of the then outstanding debt
Not until 1926 was the constitution
ality of the purchase established. John
Marshall. chief justice of the supreme
court ruled that this nation had the
right to add to its territories although
no such privilege was stated In the con-
stitution. 1t was because of the precedent
set by Marshall's ruling that Alaska
was purchased many decades later
What is and what is not constltu-
tional. varies with the years, times and
conditions. In the case of the present
farm relief bill, it is possible that con-
press is more than warranted in moving
RAPIDLY in spite of doubt. That the A.A.
A. was nullified does not mean that the
new legislation will not stand up

Other Editors Say
MORE OMEN NEEDED
Los Angeles Examiner)

In the face Of the record compiled by the
the G-men of the Department of Justice, Con-
gress will appear strangely negligent if it denies
the modest requests made by j. Edgar Hoover,
head of the Federal Bureau OF Investigation
Mr. Hoover is seeking funds to permit the
employment of approximately three hundred
additional men. Even then, his total force avail
able for the war crime throughout the country
will number only little more than one thou
sand.
Here is one branch of the Government SER
vice than has returned ONE HUNDRED PER
CENT OF SERVICE for every tax dollar 1t
costs.
Since kidnapping became a Federal offense,
Omen have solved every case turned over to
them.
Bank robberies have been reduced ninety
per cent.
Interstate trafficking in stolen automobiles
has been almost eliminated.
And all Of this has been accomplished by
LITTLE MORE THAN A HANDFUL of trained
men.
The Bureau of Investigation, performing
services as hazardous as those of wartime duty
has no means either to pension its veterans or
to provide compensation for the dependent FAM
lies of those who fall in battle with criminals.
The injustice of the Governments failure to
provide some measure of financial security to
G-men is the more glazing because Of THE UN
WILLINGNESS OF INSURANCE COMPANIES
TO ASSUME RISKS ON A G-MAN'S LIFE
Most companies refuse insurance entirely.
Those that will write policy charge rates
that are we'll nigh prohbitve.
Mr. Hoover has asked Congress for little.
He might, in all propirety, have asked for
much more WHAT HE HAS ASKED FOR
SHOULD BE GRANTED N FULL, AND MORE
SHOULD BE GRACIOUSLY AND GRATUIT-
OUSLY ADDED.
