up" signs mean stop!

Stop" signs mean stop!
This was pointed out emphatic
ally by w. F. Rosenwald, traffic
engineer of the state highway de-
partment, this week when the
state highway patrol was ordered
to pay particular attention to
such violations.
The safety chief emphasized
that on remote highway intersec-
tons in rural districts there is a
growing tendency to ignore the
sign commands. when a sign
reads stop" it does not mean that
driver has the choice of stop
ping or going on through, it
means stop!

President. This is democratic govern
ment If Mr.. Hitler's Is. He also t.
sues DEGREES, formulated by some OF
his anonymous advisers, and then sub
mits them to actual or inferentiAl
plebiscite for their Endorsement. Or
1t is the sort Of government one finds
in Oriental courts.
Years Of Evolution Needed.
No reputable economist has ap-
proved this bill. The message by Dom
aid Richberg has been shelved. The
new N. r. A. contains all the objec-
tions which the ablest minds in the
first brain trust advanced In connec-
ton with the first N. r. A.. They
knew. and pointed out, that In q vast
empire like the United States, Gov
ernment control over wages and hours
Is matter which will take years Of
the most patient, careful 1nvestiga-
tion and a great body Of experience.
The Congress and the President are
incapable Of framing legislation to
cover so complex and difficult q mat
ter. and one so loaded with dynamite.
II they accept this bill, they admit it.
They propose instead an enabling
act which will set roughly an OBJ
jectlve; 40-cent-an-hour wage and
40-four week. And then they pre-
pare to turn the whole matter over
to . commission Of five, who presum-
ably will be endowed by some miracle
with greater powers Of brain and
character than they have themselves,
and give this commission blanket au-
thority to do what 1t pleases. And II
you don't like what 1t pleases to do
you can 60 to jail and pay a fine.
Tragic Joke.
The huge, tho colossal, the tragic
Joke in this whole performance is that
the working men and women Of Amer
lea may be seduced into supporting
this plan to put the control OF their
economic destinies into the hands Of
five superhuman Individuals! That,
presumably, Is what they are organ
izing trade unions for. Oh, blind, and
more than blind! Let them wait until
SIS a week will not buy So worth OF
bread and shelter and heat and shoes!
Let them wait until whole masses Of
the population-the whole Negro pop
ulation. for instance-are thrown upon
relief for them to support. Let them
watch the five superhumans try to
pull down prices artincally and build
up a vast bureaucracy Of non-pro-
ductive parasites to nose into every
factory and every grocery shop. Then
perhaps they will. see that political
freedom Is the condition Of all
freedom.

will be exploited by the weak instead
OF by the strong employers.
On its face it would seem that
Congress could hardly abdicate its
law-making function by vesting in
board Of five persons the right to
formulate exceptions to the rules
about minimum wages, exceptions
that shall govern as between indus
tries and between regions, dif1eren-
tials also perhaps as between COM
peting industries.
No such power has ever been
granted before except in the N. R.
A., and unanimous Supreme Court
of liberals and conservatives held
that law to be unconstitutional.
It was Justice Cardozo who de-
clared that the granting by Con-
gress to code authorities or to Gov
ernment agencies that right to write
regulations having the effect Of new
law was delegation run riot" As
the Corcoran bill is written 1t seeks
to do virtually the same thing.
Minimum wage laws in principle
are neither novel nor impractical.
They can be worked out satisfactorily.
The States have started some inter-
esting experiments with the idea.
The minimum wage laws OF the
States for women have been more
or less imperative in recent years
because OF a Supreme Court de-
cision back in 1923, but the valuation
of the idea this year by the court
has given a new lease Of life to mini
mum wage legislation.
President Roosevelt IS not content
to see the experiment tried now by
the States alone. He insists that 1t
must be Federal matter and apply
to men and women, and that the
national Government must admins
ter the law. There are many good
arguments in favor Of uniformity Of
minimum wage legislation, especially
to prevent one State from competing
with another to obtain new or old
industries by making the schedules
in hour and wage laws attractive by
comparison.
Although long q believer in State
minimum wage laws, this correspond
ent has come to feel a Federal law
is imperative as supplement to
State laws, but only to prevent COM
petition between the States. Mini
mum wage legislation Is such a vital
force In economic trends that to get
workable laws requires more study
and more information than has

a nine to nothing decision. and ! beg
the citizens of the United States to
get back numbers of the newspapers
Of that time, and read again the con-
curing opinion written by Justice
Cardozo. The main objection to the
N. r. A. on the part Of the liberals
was not found in the interstate COM
merce or due-process clauses, of the
Constitution. Their objection was,
that part Of the Government Of the
United States was taken out OF the
hands of all legitimate branches Of the
Government and handed over to
totally irresponsible commissions who
were given power to make laws, ad-
minister them, and invoke the police
powers to enforce them. That, my
friends, is government by fat. That
is the kind Of government that you
have in Nazi Germany And don't let
q lot of fowery talk about the wrongs
OF the poor blind you to that fact.
A Slap for Foes.
Up bobs the new N R. A. Again
We have a tender and flowery ad-
dress by the President suggesting
that all who don't think this law is
simply lovely are grinders OF the faces
of the poor or benighted and bigoted,
however well intentioned representa-
tives, Of a small minority. AL right,
Mr.. President, count this column
among the face grinders and be-
nighted We think this law is ap-
palling. We think this law is fascistic.
We think this law proposes to turn
over the whole economic life Of this
Nation to five men with police powers
There are lots Of other reasons why
We think its q bad law; we hope
eventually to convince anybody who
reads this column that it's q share

argument. the argument made by
Justice Cardozo: This law abolishes.

We are starting, If we pass this law,
on a course the end Of which We can
not foresee, but We can be certain that
in the future. as in the past, one
arti1ciality will lead to another.
The whole procedure in launching
the bill, the technique now being used
in Washington to get bills passed, and
the provisions of the bill itself, are
the procedures, techniques and pro-
visions of authoritarian rule.
Whose was this bright idea? The
Presidents alone? Was it framed in
consultation with the responsible COM
mittees Of Congress? With the Secre-
tary of Labor and other members Of
the department? Or did it emerge full
fashioned from the mind Of Jove?
