ored people Of their lives or liberties
without due process of law.
XXTHEN the fourteenth amend
w ment was adobted it protect
ed the lives, liberties and property
OF the citizen. Then, when the age
of electricity developed and states
tried to cut utility rates, the SUI
preme Court stepped in and said ::
No! you can not deprive a utility
company of its property without
due process; these rates allow too
small profit; that amounts to
confiscation. But no one was
thinking of putting that in the
Constitution when the fourteenth
amendment was passed.
In the NRA case, the MIRA was
held to be unconstitutional for two
reasons: First, because it invaded
the rights of the states, and second
ly, because in the act Congress tried
to delegate it's power to make laws
to the President and through him
to trade associations.
NE, perhaps, ought to correct
w the first. But we never ought
to disturb the second. The one pow
erful movement in all countries to-
day is the movement to organize
business into groups empowered to
make regulations to control their
respective trades.
Such groups ostensibly make
rules for themselves. But in effect
they are enacting laws to govern
that area of the economic society
which they dominate. In Italy and
Austria and Germany this has
been accomplished through the
fascist state In America there
has been a serious clamor for it. In
the MIRA act Congress authorized
the President to organize indus
try into trade associations under
codes. The codes were prepared by
the trade associations. The Presi-
dent had to approve them, but so
also must he approve laws passed
by Congress.
TINE trace associations admin
Il istered the codes. They made
laws governing production, price,
trade practices, said who could be
in business and who not, who could
install new machinery and who not,
fixed labor terms, etc.
The Supreme Court held that
these codes under the act had the
force of law, their violations pun
ishable by fine and Imprisonment
even, that in adopting them the
trades were actually legislating for
the people.
The right to legislate is lodged
by the Constitution in Congress.
1t is one of the most jealousy
guarded rights of free people The
Supreme Court held that Congress
could not abdicate by delegating
that power. Do the American peo-
pie want this? Let us not, there
fore, be confused about these de-
ciSionS.
Whatever constitutional amend
ment is adopted nothing should
creep in which will permit Con-
gress to delegate its power to make
laws to the President, the Secre-
tary of Agriculture, trade associa-
ton or anybody else.

INVESTORS TURN
TO LONC-TERMS
INFEDERAL LIST
Unusually Good Prospects
Seen in Treasury
21sS of go.
BY CHARLES II. HUFF
Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, Jan. ID. The
switch of investors to long-term
government bonds, move that has
become increasingly obvious during
the last two weeks, is directing
dealer attention to the Treasury
ass of 1850 as offering more than
ordinary prospects in the event the
government bond market stages any
thing like a sustained advance.
The interest is all the more acute
because the ass have been possibly
the least favored of all government
securities in the fall and winter buy
ing.
Three auction sales of blocks OF
25ss during the summer helped to
unbalance the position of the issue,
but other factors combined to de-
velop something of a taboo toward
it.
Most Distant Maturity
One of those factors is the ma
turity-the most distant of any
outstanding Treasury issue. An
other is the large amount that has
been put out, totaling approxi-
mately S2,611 100000, which is al
most twice as large as any other
government issue held publicly.
Still another factor weighing
against the ass heretofore has been
an obvious state of incomplete di-
gestion, but signs point to the
probable correction of this feature.
At any rate, the bonds have ceased
giving ground and even slight in
vestment demand has produced a
Tightening of price.
The factors which have weighed
against the distant ass have pro-
duced situation now leaning heav-
lily in their favor from a specula-
tive standpoint, in the opinion OF
dealers. In few words, they are
sharply behind the market, which
is likely to be significant if gov
eminent bonds as whole swing
ahead under the influence of re-
newed confidence and prospects Of
government economy.
Price Back to Same Level
Figures have been presented to
indicate the present advantageous
position of the ass. Last June l
the average price of long term gov
ernments was 104 1922, with the
ass at 101 1872
Recovery from the slump of last
September and October has brought
the average price back to where it
was on June l, but the ass are
just about full point below the
June / price. In government bonds
that is considerable margin. In
the present state of the government
bond market some dealers assert
that mere $10,0000,00O Of buying
power could send prices up u point
AS a contrary consideration, how
ever, dealers note that a large part
of the 27ss now out represent loss
to holders. In the auction sales
they commanded premiums and
during 1885 they reached a high
price of 101 1882, whereas even re-
cent price recovery has brought
them only slightly above par. There
is at least a prospect of liquidation.
therefore, in the course of price
climb.

STOCK MARKET
WEEK IN REVIEW
By United Press

By United Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 13--Invalida-
ton of the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration early last week was
followed by an active, rising stock
market, stronger bond market, wide
swings in commodities and sharp
break in the dollar
Considerable confusion followed
the AAA ruling. Baking, food and
processing company shares rose
sharply. while farm issues and mail
order shares declined and the gen.
eral list was irregular. After that
momentary unsettlement the list
advanced actively, taking the indus
trial average near it's high since
1881 and the railroad and utility
averages to the best levels since
1884.
Trading picked up and at times
tickers we're far behind the actual
market. Volume exceeded 10000 in
each full session and the week was
the most active, except for one,
since Feb. 10, 1884. That one ex-
ception was the week ended Nov.
%, 1885, when the total was about
the same.
Initiation Talk Strong
Steel shares came back and sew
eral made new highs. Oils re-
sponded to advances in crude Oil
prices in the East Texas and Mid
Continent fields. Most of them
made new highs and closed the week
with gains that ranged to several
points. Among those issues making
new highs for more than a year
were Standards of New Jersey and
California, Amerada, Continental,
Consolidated, Pure Oil, Texas Corp,
Phillips, Houston and Shell Union.
Heavier production of automobiles
brought new buying and short COW
ering into the motor division. Avia-
ton issues were quieter, although
firm.
Gold and silver shares responded
to initiation talk. They were espe-
cially strong when the President ex-
tended for another year the gold
clause act, which gives him power
to devalue the dollar until it touches
so per cent Of the former parity,
which was based on gold at $20.67
an ounce.
The Bureau of the Mint reported
gold production for 1885 at a rec
ord in value and silver output also
was substantially higher.

time assisted the reporter Of the State
Supreme Court. Later he entered q
law office and finally, in 1884, was ad-
mitted to the bar.
The Constitution of the United States
had his constant support. He con-
demned its critics and held it to be
the hope Of the world, although in
critici1ng the sixteenth and eight
eenth amendments he contended the
spirit of the Constitution was dead In
America.
Honorary degrees were conferred
upon Mr.. Beck by his alma mater, the
Universities of Pennsylvania, Michigan
and Pittburgh; Lafayette, McGill Uni

He also waged active warfare against
New Deal legislation by serving as a
member Of counsel in Supreme Court

Mr.. Beck's public speaking attracted
attention soon after he was admitted
to the bar in 1884. Literary lyceums
and Y. M. c. A. debates f1ourished in
those days and his services were in
much demand for such occasions
around Philadelphia.
He soon attracted notice as a Demo-
cratic stump speaker, particularly dur
ing the third Cleveland campaign, and
when it ended successfully for his
party he was named Federal district
attorney for Eastern Pennsylvania
But he left the party fold in 1896
baking at the Bryan platform.
He supported Mckinley for the
presidency and thus it happened that
four years after he had been given an
appointment by Democratic Presi-
dent, he received one from a Re-
publican administration, being named
as Assistant Attorney General of the
United States. In this position he was
engaged largely upon trust busting,
distinguishing himself particularly in
the Governments successful suit
against the Northern Securities Corp
and in the sugar cases.
Resigning his post in 1903 he built
up a lucrative practice In New York
He kept at this for 18 years, inter.
rupting it in 1921 to become solicitor

authorities of the land of Blackstone
But he was favorably known abroad

the cause of the allies and did it with
such effect that he was elected q

UTERM0EHLEN, NOTED
VIOLINIST, SUCCUMBS
Musical Career Extended Over
Period of SS Years-Taught
in Virginia.

By the Associated Press.
FORT WORTH, Tex, April 13.-
Charles F. Utermoehlen, SO, noted
violinist, died last night at the home
of a daughter, Mrs A. P Dickey.
The death ended an 88-year musical
career that began in Oldenburg, Ger
many, when Utermoehlen's grand
father gave him a violin on his fifth
Christmas.
As concert artist, composer and
instructor, Utermoehlen gained wide
recognition many years ago. At the
age of IL he was a member of a
symphony orchestra in Berlin. In later
years he taught for half century in
colleges in Missouri, Virginia and
Tennessee. He retired at the age of 81.
