Far Reaching
Effects of Wagner
Act Explained

q. The boys glee,club from the high
here since the good old days" when
school sang song for the Kiwanis
club Tuesday noon at their regular
meeting. Miss Virgil Hopkins di-
rected the singing.
The program proper, however,
consisted Of an exceptionally inter-
esting discussion about the supreme
court, and especially about the Wag-
ner Act which has been mentioned
so frequently in the public press re-
Gently. M M Moulton was the
speaker.
Mr.. Moulton told the clubmen of
the fundamental principles of the
American form of government,
stressing the importance of each OF
the three branches retaining the
functions provided therefor in the
constitution. Each division had an
important part in the national af-
fairs and as soon as one department
encroached upon the privileges OF
another our form Of government
crumbled.
The speaker stated that the Wag-
ner Act decision would have far
reaching effects in all likelihood, In
that the points raised in the de-
cision would leave control Of many
businesses entirely in the hands OF
congress, which by the recent court
ruling, would have jurisdiction In
interstate commerce.
The point involved here being that
nowadays most business Is more or
less Of an interstate affair, agricul-
ture being the largest. Under the
Interpretation that agriculture does
come under the scope OF the decis-
ion, congress could thus control
nearly all phases Of the industry.
Mr.. Moulton concluded his re-
marks with the plea that every man
give serious thought to the possible
results of ultra liberal tendencies
and study the possibilities for pre-
venting national disaster.
