Free Commerce

Section eight of Article one Of
the Constitution says: THE Con-
eress shall have power . to regu-
late commerce with foreign ma
tions, and among the several states,
and with the Indian tribes"
The reason for that was clear:
II was necessary to give the federal
government some control over tho
shipment of goods from one state
TO another so there would be no
state tariffs and no artificial trade
barriers. No state then or now pro.
duced enough for its own needs
The idea was to stimulate rather
than restrict interstate commerce.
AS the years marched along, Il g
Interpretation of that clause in the
Constitution was gradually wideped
always in the direction of remov-
ing restrictions from interstate
commerce. The Wagner Act was
based upon the theory that labor
disputes may halt or slow down
commerce, and therefore labor dis
putes should be avoided.
For nearly $50 years. Congress
has reserved that power to itself.
No state, no city, no single group
was allowed to assume the power
vested in Congress. But now we find
a new and startling situation aris-
ing.
On every hand, strikes-whicn
the Wagner Act was supposed to
stop-are haulting interstate COM
merce. Pickets keep trains from
running and hauling goods; they
stop trucks on the highways and

State Land Office
To Plan Trade

An exchange of approximately
2,000, 900 acres of Arizona state
owned land for federal government
owned land was the aim of con.
ference of federal and state land
officials this week
Tentative procedure and plans
were worked out at this conferel re
for department of the Interior con
firmation.
This is an exchange in which
both the state and federal govern
ments are expected to benefit. &C
cording to William Aberts, state
land commissioner, and C. F. DER
king, United States regional graz
ier, with offices in Phoenix.
THE state of Arizona has much
unsurveyed and surveyed school
land upon which it has received no
revenue since statehood" Alberte
said, because the separate sections
owned are within the public do
main, and the state is unable to
exercise any control over the land.
1t has had to go in with the public
domain"
Alberts and Dierking explained
that the exchange of state lands
would enable each government uril
to block its holdings so that it viii
be possible to exercise proper con-
troll over the lands. The exchange is
made possible under the terms OF
section eight of the Taylor grazing
act.
Possible additional revenue for
Arizona is estimated at 100000
annually from rental and sale Of
the lands after the exchange is
made, Alberts said.

greater expenses than had been
looked for The result is the addi-
tion Of nearly three billion dollars
more 10 the federal debt.
The Federal government balances
its books at the end of year that
starts on July l and winds up on
the next June 30. This June 30, for
the fifth consecutive year it didn't
balance" its books; it just added
and subtracted.
The net deficit for the fiscal year
was more than $4,000, 900 above
the S2.557. 600 900 forecast by TIE
President in April. The reason Is
that although the income was s52,

LONE STAR STATE
CELEBRATES PHANTOM
NEGRO FREEDOM

DALLAS, Tex, June Elaine Ellis
for CNA)-For one day, June 10Th,
Negro Texans laid aside their work
and celebrated freedom that does not
exist The proclamation that should
have meant emancipation in every
sense of the word was issued seventy
two years ago when Gen. Gordon
Granger landed in Galveston harbor.
And since that time, June 10Th has been
set aside as legal holiday. For one
day, the lynch terror and the misery
of the big river bottoms with their dark
tales Of exploitation is forgotten while
Negros make merry. This year, there
were approximately 100000 to partici-
pate.
The celebration, in some parts of the
state, lasted through Sunday. At Gle
burne, where new park for Negroes
was dedicated, the park board asked
the white people to stay away because,
at past celebrations, they made huge
inroads upon the food intended fol
colored visitors.
Another leading feature of this
years celebration was Negro Day at the
Texas and Pan-American Exposition
held in Dallas. Thousands of Negroes
attended and were entertained by Ro-
iangles Robinson, tap dancer, and the
Ninth Cavalry Negro Band from Fort
Riley, Kan.
AT other points in the state, religious
services, swing bands. and barbecues
helped to make up the days programs.
