nation mankind has ever known.
If we let this disease 60 uncheck-
ed, America will crumble in
chaos of fear, suspicion, and dis
trust. We cannot allow our coun-
try, which was once a haven for
the prosecuted, to become an en-.
pire of prosecutors.
The Constitution plainly
charges the Legislative branch of
the government with the duty of
passing laws, within the limita-
tons laid down by its trainers.
The Constitution likewise
charges the Executive Branch
and only the Executive branch
with the duty of exercising the
laws passed by Congress, and
with defending the country and
the Constitution from enemies
within and without, by the
might of the Military, if neces-
sary, and by Constitutional
means.
The Constitution charges the
Judicial branch with the duty of
interpreting and enforcing the
laws, through historic civil and
criminal proceedings.
The duties of each branch are
clearly spelled out, and each is
forbidden to encroach upon the
others.
1t is the proper function-the
Constitutional duty-of the Exc
cutive branch to investigate
wrong-doing and bring-by
grand jury indictment-the ac-
cused to trial before the courts.
The investigation of alleged
crime is the function and duty of
such agencies as the FBI, the
Secret Service, Treasury agents,
postoffice inspectors, customs
agents, and the like. Once suf-
ficient evidence is brought to
light, alleged criminals are pros
ecuted by the officers of the De-
partment of Justice, under the
Attorney General.
These agencies, in our system
of government, operate under the
jurisdiction of the Executive
branch, and are a part of it.
The Constitution does not pro-
hibit Congress from. looking into
and investigating all matters per-
tanning to a proposed law or a
needed law. Certainly, Congress
has the duty to stay alert at all
times for needs of new laws and
amendments to the law.
l think a fine example of the
way Congressional Investigations
should be held was set by our
Senator Clyde Hoey, who did a
wonderful job in the five
percenter investigations.
But, the accepted and respect
ed practice of Congressional in
vestigations does not mean that
committees should clutch to
themselves unlicensed powers
and exercise these powers in the
spirit of an enraged mob on the
trail of lynch victim.
Neither does it mean that a
one-man bully has a right to
brow-beat and debase witnesses.
When things like this are toll
Grated, we are moving in the
direction of a police state and the
destruction of individual free
doms.
This evil practice is in motor
ious violation of every mans
positive Highlander the Consti-
tution-to face his accuser in
open court, to be presumed in
nocent until he is proved guilty,
and to trial by due process of
law. And, as Daniel Webster said,
due process of law means, "a law
which hears before it condemns,

which they exercise, for the most
part, in secret.
There is no danger threatening
this country today any greater
than the growing tendency of the
legislative branch of our govern
ment to seize unto itself func-
tons which do not belong to it
and which are in utter disregard
of the Constitution.
The danger of one branch of
the government taking over an
other, or even assuming author
ity over it, was pointed out by
George Washington in his fare
well address on leaving the office
of President. I would like to read
you part of it:

of all departments in one, and
thus to create, whatever the form
of government, real despotism

SCOTT OUTLINES
DANGERS BEFORE
OUR GOVERNMENT
Senatorial Candidate in Re-
cent Speech Discusses
81 Threats to Free People

Hon. w. Kerr Scott, candidate
for U. S. Senator, and former
Governor in a speech made sew
eral days ago, forcefully outlined
some of the dangers that lie be-
fore our form of Government. His
remarks are So apt, and so well
expressed that we print them in
part, as follows.
With your permission, am 60
ing to talk about something that
means much more to all of us
than any farm program, labor
program, or any other particular
kind of program. 1t is something
that overshadows all of these. It
is something that needs drastic
and immediate action.
AS boy and young man, I
read many stirring pages of
American history-the thrilling
story of how the American Way
of Life was given breath and
substance.
To me, the story of the birth
of the United States Constitution
has always been more interesting
than any novel have read. 1t
is, truly, in the words of Glad
stone, "the most wonderful work
ever struck off at a given time
by the brain and purpose of
man." The United States Consti-
tuition, on my bookshelf, ranks
next to the Bible.
The Founding Fathers, those
fighting patriots who wrote the
Constitution, were wise far be-
yond the times in which they
lived. They wrote for the Gen.
turies-as time has proved to all
the world. The political divisions
and processes they fashioned are
this nations greatest strength to-
day-just as they were nearly
two hundred years ago.
In their wisdom, Thomas Jeff
erson and his associates wrote
into the fundamental law of the
United States that the powers
and functions of government
nhould be divided among three
separate branches-The Legisla-
tive, the Executive, and the Ju-
dicial.
This separation of government
al powers has endured varied
assaults, and it still stands as
the greatest single safeguard our
people have against tyranny,
corruption and the law of the
jungle.
But this safeguard-this bull
wark of freedom-our historic
separation of governmental pow
ers and duties into three parts
is daily being polluted and weak
ened by unwise, unwarranted
and unfair assaults upon it by
certain committees in the legis-
lative branch of the Federal
Government.
/ refer, of course, to the vicious,
irresponsible, and unbridled way
in which these committees are
abusing the legitimate investiga-
tive functions of Congress

Construction Outlay
Reaches SIS Billion
Peak in February

Record high expenditures for
new construction in February
have tossed a cheerful note into
the national economic situation.
The monthly reports on con-
struction from the Commerce
Department and the Labor De-
partment's Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics, issued yesterday, included
these preliminary details:
Total construction outlay in
February was $2,317. 900 900,
which was / per cent more than
in February 1858, the previous
record for that month.
$50 Billion Annual Rate.
Spending on construction in
the first two months of this
year totaled $4.743, 100000. or 2
per cent more than in the first
two months of 1858.
After allowance for seasonal
factors, this was a spending rate
of over $50 billion per year.
If construction spending keeps
up at this rate and does reach
$50 billion In 1854. it will sur
pass the previous record of
nearly $35 billion, established in
1858.
OUTLAWS for public schools, hos

ties rose in February, instead Of
