OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

Minneapolis, Dec. minnesota S
1886 football season has come to
an end. The Gophers have dropped
out of the headlines; but they
have not entirely taken their at
tention from football.
Coach Bernie Bierman has left
for Los Angeles to scout Notre
Dame in it's game with Southern
California Saturday.
Line coach George Hauser was in
Seattle last Thursday to scout
Washington in it's 40 to victory
over Washington State. The Go
pliers do not play Washington
again until 1888 when present So
phomores will be seniors. OF course
Hauser could not see much that
will be helpful to the Gophers two
years hence and would not have
gone out there just to watch the
Huskies.
His main purpose was to watch
Nebraska in it's game with Oregon
State in Portland Saturday. The
Gophers will play Nebraska next
season and want to keep a close
check on them. They agree Ne
braska was the best team they met
in 1885. 1t is always a dangerous
team early in the season when it
plays Minnesota. Later it does not
improve SO steadily as some other
teams, but it is hard opener.
Both herman and Hauser will!
take brief vacations in the West
after their scouting assignments.
AS soon as they return, however,
preparations will be launched for
the next season.

NEW YORK. JAM 1.-THE popular cry is that
i Y the Supreme Court outlawed the whole New
Deal. But did it? Whether intended or not there
Is positive as we'll negative side to every dis
cursive opinion of that court. In condemning one
theory it at least implies approval of the reverse OF
that theory.
All that actually was decided in the Schecter
case was that killing chicken in Brooklyn is not
interstate commerce and that the NFA code machln-
erv delegated too much legislative power. But the
court was at pains to describe the kind OF machln-
ery that would be valid. Here then, was judicial
implication of the framework of new NRA statute
that would have been constitutional.
The same thing is true of the AAA opinion the
court for the first time construed the general well
fare" clause as comforting broad power on the
Federal government in addition to other more
specific delegations. That epochal 1t probably
validated unemployment expenditures.
1~HE court also upheld the doctrine OF MasSar
chusetts VS.. Mellon that tax payer can lot
attack valid taxing power on the ground OF unwlse
spending from the general funds of the government
In AAA however, the court said that the purpose
of AAA is regulation OF farming and iouno tnaG
purpose not to be within the power of the Federal
government.
The court thought that the processing tax was
not a real tax but an instrument ard part of an
invalid purpose. Since the purpose was invalid, the
tax was bad
Does not this leave the door wide open to law

tempting to regulate productions The tax need be

If it promotes the general welfare to subsdize
destitute workers. it is at least necessary to the gen.
eral welfare to substitute destitute farmers. That
was the real purpose and effect of AAA.
