CONSTITUTION
SHUNNEDAS
'36 ISSUE
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
Copyright, 1885, BY

Copyright, 1885, BY
international News Service
President Roosevelt Is definitely
committed against o campaign for
his reelection to the White House
on any major constitutional issue,
It was reported today on Capitol
Hill in usually well-informed
circles.
As q result, Congress will side
step q series Of proposals for
changing the Constitution either
to enlarge its powers or to curb
the authority of the United States
Supreme Court. Such proposed
amendments will be left to gather
dust in Senate and House com.
mitteeS either indefinitely or at
least until after the next election.
Accepted AAA Verdict
The Presidents decision, IL was
said, was reflected when he &C
cepted the Supreme Courts yer.
dict on the AAA by asking Con-
gresS to repeal the related tobac-
co, cotton and potato control acts.
It was further verified, his friends
said, when he refrained from
indorsing q proposed campaign
by Senator George w. Norris (R0
Of Nebraska, veteran author Of
constitutional changes, to take
from all lower Federal courts the
power to declare acts Of Congress
unconstitutional.
The Presidents friends said he
reached this decision, because:
/. He wishes to conduct his
campaign for reelection upon
his administrative record to
date, improved business condi-
tions and economic issues, with
out having these issues subordi-
mated by q battle over the Con-
stitution.
2. He fears Q major contest to
change the Constitution may di.
vide his progressive following,
despite Norris attitude, and
drive many progressiveS into the
Republican camp.
3. He hopes to win the sup
port Of Senator Borah Of Idaho.
In the event the latter is de-
feated for the Republican Presi-
Dental nomination by an Old
Guard regular" and he realizes
he can never win Borah's sup
port If the Constitution becomes
q major issue.
Others Excepted
The Presidents decision, Of
course, will not apply to the So
called proposed "non-politicar
amendments. In this class would
be proposed amendments to tax
Federal tax-free securities, to out
law war, to restrict employment
of aliens and to give suffrage to
the District of Columbia.
It does apply to such proposed
amendments as that Of Norris to
give the Supreme Court exclusive
power to declare Acts Of Congress
unconstitutional. This proposed
amendment would take that
power from all lesser federal
courts.
others in the forbidden class
would be the CoStigan proposal TO
legalize the NRA, the Logan plan
to give Congress power to control
Industrial disputes and produc-
ton and the Schwellenbach pro
posal for popular ratification Of
constitutional amendments. These
apparently have been shelved for
the duration Of the campaign, so
far as Mr.. Roosevelt is concerned.
