Mr.. Martin will throw his hat into
the ring for the presidential nomi-
nation or enter any of the presi-
Dental preferential primaries in any
of the States which hold them.
However, it is by no means certain
that he will not be put forward by
some of the Republicans for the
nomination. He has a band of loyal
supporters in the House from most
of the States in the Union.
Hope Is In Deadlock.
His chance, If he has one, prob
ably will come In the event the Re-
publican National Convention is
deadlocked with the present leading
contenders, Dewey, Taft and VAN
denberg, unable to obtain majority
Of the delegate votes.
If there is a Republican victory
at the polls next November Mr..
Martin is quite sure of election as
Speaker of the House-a position of
very great Importance. AS Speaker
he would play ball with a Republi-
can President and be of great as
sistance in putting through a pro-
gram of legislation.
Massachusetts has two other dark
horse presidential possibilities in
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., and
Gov. Saltonstall. At present, along
with Mr.. Martin, they remain in the
dark-horse class. Twenty years ago
a book entitled Have Faith in Mas
sachusetts" was published-about
the late President Calvin Coolidge
and his sayings. Mr. Coolidge was
then Governor of the Bay State and
had sprung into national promi-
nence because of his handling of
the Boston police strike. In the 1920
Republican National Convention,
after the delegates had taken War
rem G. Harding of Ohio as a COM
promise candidate for President,
they took the matter of selecting a
vice presldentlal candidate into their
own hands. Coolidge was nominated
in rush.

known to his colleagues in Congress,

chance came when former Repre-.

The far-reaching nature of the
majority opinion can scarcely be

city in the United States can for
revenue purposes tax any article Of
any kind that enters the city limits

the New Deal is just so many goose

Mr.. Johnson, now So, is the hand

to match, if he can manage to work
it into his campaign. He has one
serious shortcoming for a politician.
He doesn't like to get mad. Old

to get mad with you than to move
them to share sanity endeavors.
This is not Mr.. Johnsons first trip

State and county chairmen. and

the Capital, have invariably ex-
pressed a desire to see the party

nominee for President.
While Mr.. Martin has been men,
toned here and there as a dark
horse candidate for the presidential
nomination this year-it has not
upset his equilibrium. He has gone
about his business, which is leading
the House Republicans. And the
bets are good that he will continue
along that path during the re-

strains or affects interstate Coiil-
rnerce the same court now decides
that big shipments OF coal from
PENNSYLVANIA to New York are not
at all burdened in interstate com
merce when the coal is delivered
and anv city in New York taxes the
shipment any amount it pleases.
On the one hand, the commerce
clause of the Federal Constitution
is interpreted broadly for soclo-
logical objective and, on the other
hand, the same commerce clause
Is rendered imperative to prevent a
State or city from imposing tarlH
against the incoming shipments.
The original purpose of the COM
merce clause was to give Congress
alone the right to control shipments
between the States and to prevent
tariffs and barriers inside the Onlteo
States. Now. according to Justice
stone and the four justices ap-
nointed bv President Roosevelt, It's
all right for the States or cities 10
erect such barriers. but according
to a minority-Chief Justice Hughes
and two of the older members OF the
court-it is a reversal Of a long line
of precedents on the commerce
clause.
Both Claim Precedent.
As is customary with technical
decisions, both sides claim they are
conforming to precedent. but the
best evidence on the subject is the
fact that the Court Of Appeals OF
the State of New York held invalid
the sales tax imposed on coal ship
ments by the city of New York
Thus, the highest court in the En-
pire State construed the Federal
Constitution as preventing the city
of New York from imposing such
sales tax. The Court of Appeals
read the precedents carefully as
requiring the city tax to be declared
in violation of the Federal Constl-
tuition. but a new ajoritv in the
Supreme Court has now upset that
decision.
Justice Stone in the majority
opinion goes farther than mere
precedent into the realm of policy
making which has so often been
condemned as unwise on the part
of the Federal judiciary. He says:
"As we have seen, the ruling OF
these decisions does not rest on
precedent alone. 1t has the sup
port of reason and of due regard
for the just balance between ma
tional and State power"
But Chief Justice Hughes ques-
tions the wisdom of allowing the
court to set up what might be
termed legislative policies. He says
on behalf of the minority OF the
court:
DOUBTLESS much can be said as to
the desirability of comprehensive
system of taxation through the CO.
operation of the Union and the
States so as to avoid the differen-
tiations which beset the applica-
ton of the commerce clause and
thus to protect both State and Ma
tional Government by a just and
general scheme for raising revenue.
However important such a policy
may be, it is not a matter for this
court. We have the duty of main
tanning the immunity of interstate
commerce as contemplated by the
Constitution. That immunity still
remains an essential buttress of the
Union, and a free national market,
so far as it can be preserved with
out violence to State power over the
