New and Portentous Power
AntiLynching Bill Seen Wedge of Those Who Would
Take Away States Rights.

velt's court measure, and calls for the
same kind Of debate.
Takes Power From States.
The bill, though described in its title
as ito punish the crime of lynching,"
Is not actually an anti-lyichirg meas
ure. It does not make lynching any
more crime than it is already made
by every State. What the bill does
is to give to the Federal Government,
to the Attorney General at Washing
ton, and his appointees, power to pass
on the conduct of State and local OFF,
cials with respect to actions done by
them in the performance of their
State and local duties. If the At
torney General at Washington thinks
that a State Official, sheriff or
policeman, or, presume, judge, has
not practiced "all diligent efforts" to
prevent lynching, or to apprehend
persons who have committed lynch
ing-in that event the Attorney Gen.
eral can hale the State official into
the Federal courts and there prosecute
him on a charge OF felony, with
possible penalty Of five years in jail
or $4,000 fine. Further, the county
in which any lynching has occurred
is made liable in damages up to
$4,000.
When the bill was before the Senate
in November, wrote that it gives a
new and portentous power to the
Federal Government" Mainly because
said that, friend of the measure
wrote a public letter to the New York
Herald Tribune declaring that I had
made complete Misrepresentation"
of the bill. The accusation disturbed
me. I have since reread the bill care
fully. I have talked at length with
Senator Borah, who has exceptional
understanding not only Of this meas
ure, but of the American form of
Government. have talked with Others
familiar with the distinction between
State and Federal rights. And I feel
like repeating, with greater emphasis,
that the bill gives to the Federal Gov
ernment new and portentous
power"
AS Senator George said, IF the
Federal Government can do that in
the case of lynching, it can do it in
the case of any crime" AS Senator
Borah put it, if this bill passes, the
last vestige of local authority has
disappeared" The bill opens the
door to as much extension of Federal
power as the Federal Government
chooses to exercise 1t opens the way
to, and fits with the purpose of, those
who would like to reduce the States
to mere geographical names.

BIG FREIGHT SAVING
CLAIMED FOR T. v. A.
Authority Economist Testifes
Water Route Offered
Lower Charges.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Jan. g.
A Tennessee Valley Authority econo-
mist testified yesterday shippers into
or from the Tennessee Valley could
have saved more than $4,000, 900 in
1887" by using river instead of rail
transportation.
The witness, ]. Haden Alldredge,
was cross examined vigorously for sew
eral hours by counsel for the 18 pri-
vate utilities assailing the Authority
before three-judge Federal court.
He said his figures were based on
estimated tonnage movement on the
Tennessee River during 1887 assum-
ing canalization of the river by either
high or low dams. He explained also
that only freight feasible for trans
portation by river was considered.
Alldredge said 7,311,S92 tons Of
freight would have moved into or
out Of the valley by river. He said
this tonnage would have meant an
average saving to the shipper Of $1.29
per ton above rail charges.
The ratio Of savings to all-rail
charges would have been Is per cent,
he said, adding tonnage on the Ten
nessee had increased from $4,000. 900
tons in 1888 to $4,000, 900 in 1886.
"Oil companies are now planning
heavy shipments on the river" he
said. "and are preparing to build
terminals.

authors, Senator Wagner Of New York.
The list includes the Young Women's
Christian Association, the Protestant
Episcopal Church, the American Fed
Grafton of Teachers, the American
Federation Of Labor, some State de-
partments of the American Legion.
The atmosphere created by support
from such organizations accounts for
a widespread assumption that the bill
must be wholly worthy and wholly
without objections. 1t Is doubtful II
these organizations have paid atten-
ton to the objections raised by Sena-
tor Borah and others who understand
what the consequences of the measure
would be. Indeed, it is seriously doubt
full If the members Of these organiza-
tions have read the bill. Many who
support the bill merely because Of the
worthiness of its presumed objective
are probably in the state of mind of
the person who, speaking to the Sena-
tor from Alabama. Mrs. Graves, said:
But you haven't any laws against
lynching, have you. in the South?"
That state of mind is not uncommon.
Only Crime Decreasing.
Not only are there State laws pun
ishing lynching. lynching is steadily
decreasing. Thirty years ago the num-
Der per year was upward Of 100. In
1919 it "a; in 1920 1t was 81: in 1921
it was 50. BY 1880 it had decreased
to 81. In 1896 it was 9. Last year
it was 8.
Truthfully it was remarked in the
Senate that lynching is the only crime
that Is decreasing. Yet lynching Is
the one crime 1t is proposed to deal
with by far-reaching extension Of
Federal power over the States
The same organizations that sup
port the bill because Of its humanita-
rian appeal would be shocked to re-
alize the opening which this bill, If
enacted, will create for bringing about
change in the American form Of
lynching bill originated long ago, be-
fore there was any notion of the
change in the form OF government
which some radicals now wish. But
the anti-lynching bill serves their pur-
pose as completely as if the radicals
had devised it. The immediate OBJ
jectives of those who wish the change
in government are two. One Is to get
rid Of the independence of the judi
ciary. The other is to wipe out State
lines, to centralize everything at Wash
ington. They know 1t would be dif1-
cult to turn America into . new form
Of society piecemeal, State by State.
With good reason they think that with
all authority centralized at Washing
ton, the transition would be simpler,
the push easier to accomplish. The
malevolent fate that seems to bedevil
America DEGREES that the anti-lynch-
ing measure should come forward at
q time when 1t would give aid to those
who would impose q centralized au-
thoritarian government on America

Much can properly be said, however,
on the international claims question"
he says. Several thousand German
American claims, involving s50, ,O00, 900

claims, underway since 1928, have
resulted in a settlement OF $6,000,000

claims hark back to 1868.
Mr.. Hackworth, recently appointed
by the President member Of the

He Is of the opinion that there are
no differences between governments
