At the moment, business is in
the early stages of a recovery
cycle. This spring we shall
probably see new highs in bust
ness activity with the year as
a whole showing heavy volume.
Should the business pickup
accelerate too fast, it could lead
to a renewal of initiation psy-

surge of stock market specula-

realizes, this would not be

The price earnings ratio or

called can no longer be used

years ago. Then 10 times earn

conditions, 20 times earnings is
a relatively moderate ratio. In
fact, the premium now put on

This week, September 1928 has been
proclaimed Constitution Week. Pa
triotic societies throughout the nation
urge its celebration in an effort to bring

past 80 years provisions of the Constitu-

liberalization of Constitutional precepts

have contributed by interpretations
never so intended by the trainers of the

BABSON PARK, MASS. Sept.
II -- A very serious threat to
U. s. labor and its union leaders
is the European Economic Com
nunity or Common Market"
This Federation Of six European
countries has a population near
" equal to that of the United
States. The people within the
area are intelligent and indus
trious. In existence only four
years the Common Market has
shown tremendous industrial
gains; its industrial growth
rate, in fact. is triple that of
our own country. The primary
aim of the Common Market is
to eliminate long-standing OBJ
structionsA to free trade. to give
free enterprise every encourage
ment to operate. The Common
Market now has a tremendous
production potential wherein a
combination of lower taxes and
labor costs, liberal anti trust
laws, and friendly government
permit the output of high-grade
manufactured goods which can
be sold in the United States at
prices lower than for similar
quality U. S.-made goods.
Hence, labor leaders here at
home who advocate that mem
bers strike for higher wages
Merely incre aSe the sale OF
Common Market merchandise in
the United States. They thus
compound their members un
employment probl e m. Those
who ask the government to
make work" simply assure for
thenrseles higher taxes and
higher costs for the domestic
product - and again boost the
sale of imports. And yet, no Ia
Dor leader hoping to keep his
job is going to ask his members
to accept lower wages!
Breakdown by Government?
| The President, through his
Council of Economic Advisors,
indicated early in the year his
wishes with regard to wage
rates. 1t was implied that a
there per cent rise in wage
benefits each year would be
considered noninflationary wage
behavior. The theory is that pro-
ductivity has increased an aver
age of three per cent annually
over the past SO years and
therefore this should provide a
reliable budapest for the re-
wards that labor is entitled to
in the future. Inasmuch as no
labor leader Of today could hope
to hold his job on that basis, it
came as no surprise that the
Presidents advice was repeat
edly ignored.

reservd and sovereign rights

ment by the Federal Govern
ment, United States were rea-
sonably free from enroachment
in the exercise of their respect
i've Constitutional powers.
During the past quarter cen
fury the Government of the
United States has undergone
drastic and destructive change.
twenty-five years ago, Presi-
dent Roosevelt undertook to
pack the Supreme Cour thy legi-
slative enactment. His purpose
was to change the Constitution
by judicial Interpretation, by
passing the amendatory process.
Congress refused to pack h e
Court but the result was &C
complished by President Roose-
welt and the succeeding PreSi-
dents by filling vacancies un-
der the Presidents appointing
power. Under this process, the
Supreme Court notably during
the last decade has undertaken
to make law by Interpretation;
it has carried its Interpretation
Of Constitutional power into exc
QUITO nwithout an ylaw made by
congress in violation of the ex-
plicit words of the Constitution;
it has turned the Constitution in
to an instrument of judicial
tyranny by proclaiming it to be
self executive against the very
nature Of the Constitution and
in viola tiOn of explicit
provisions which it has ignored
in its opinions. In the opinion of
Chief Justice Warren in the
Brown decision of 1854, the
Supreme Court held that t h e
intention of Congress in framing
and proposing the Fourteenth
Amendment regarding separate
schools for the races was incon-
elusive and then proceeded to
make conclusive against the
States that which it had held to
be inconclusive. This was done
without making even a passing
reference to the Tenth Amend
ment. Time does not permit me
to analize this decision and many
others. Abraham Lincoln, in his
first inaugural address laid this
whole proposition which we now
face squarely on the line. He
said:
THE candid citizen must con-
fess, that if the policy Of the
government upon vital questions
is to be irrevocably fixed by
the decisions of the Supreme
Court - the people will have
ceased to be their own rulers,
having to that extent practically
resigned their government into
the hands of that eminent tri-
bunal.'
The Constitution has existed
during seven consecutive quart
er centuries. shudder to think
what will happen to it during
the next twenty-five years if
the unconstitutional principles
and policies of the Warren
Court are not reversed by the
people. l am a conservative. I
believe in the conservation of the
great principles OF checks and
balances set forth in the Con-
stitution and in the principle Of
drviding and distributing polii-
cal power into different deposi-
tories. I believe in the conserva-
ton Of the sovereign and reserv-
ed powers Of the States and in
freeing the States from the
thralldom now being imposed up
on them by the Warren Court.
In short / believe in the Con-
Stitution.

Constitutional Government In Grave Danger

One Hundred and seventy-five
years ago, lacking two days, the
Philadelphia Convention COM
pleted its labors and submitted
to Congress the finished draft
OF the Constitution of the United
States. A new type of Govern
ment was proposed to the States
for ratification. The Federal
system thus inaugerated created
a central government of limited
powers, reSerVing all powers not
delegated to the central govern
ment to the states. This great
document, by Articles I, II and
III thereof, separated the DOW
ers thus delegated to the Gov
ernnknt of the United States in
to three distinct departments.
Legislative Executive and Jud-
lcal. The wise and scholarly men
WHO devised the Constitution
OF the United States had grown
up under the autocratic govern
ment of George the Third and
understood thoroughly that it
was the nature and disposition of
mankind to seek and obtain pow
er over their fellow man where
the opportunity was afforded
them to accumulate power by
directive and decree having the
force and effect of law. They
realized that the power to make
law should be confined to per-
sons elected to office at frequent
intervals by the people in limit
ed areas scattered throughout
the states and the land. In order
to safeguard this principle they
wrote the first sentence of the
Constitution, Article 1, Section
% as follows:
"All legislative power herein
granted shall be vested in a
Congress of the United States.
which shall consist of a Senate
and House Of Representatives"
The wise and scholarly men
who gathered in Philadelphia
understood clearly what was
meant by the words 'legisla-
tive powers" Students of Politi
cal science throughout the years
have never doubted what was
meant by the words Legislative
powers 1t meant in 1887. and
it means now, the power to
make law. Legislative power is
tn peOWer to make law, and if all
of that power is vested in Con-
greSS, none of it is vested in the
Supreme Court or in the PreSi-
dent.
The wise and scholarly men
who gathered at Philadelphia
were also solicitous as to what
agency in the government should
make laws or promulgate reg
ulations for carrying into execu-
ton the powers delegated to
the central government. They
recognized that the Constitution
was not self-executive; that all
of the powers delegated would
never be exclusively used; that
conditions as they obtained and
the determination by the peo-
pie should be conclusive as to
when and how certain powers
should be carried into execution;
and that the representatives Of
the people and of the states
should have the exclusive power
to initiate the carrying in ex-
ecution of all powers delegated
to the Government Of the United
States. They, therefore, wrote
into the Constitution ARTICLE l.
Section (8o, Paragraph 49, the
following provision:
Congress shall have power:
To make all laws which shall be
necessary and proper for carry
ing into execution the foregoing
powers. and all other powers
vested by this Constitution in the
Government Of the United States,

Rights Demand Responsibility

American moral standards are
being undermined by what
could be called a judicial law
Of relatively" - that is, an as
sumption tina whatever is toll
Grated by the community is &C
ceptable in the eyes of the law.
This legal indulgence has not
yet eaten away the safeguards
against criminal behavior. for
there yet remain absolute
standards of right and wrong in
that field. But in the area of OBJ
scene literature. the code of
legal acceptability is steadily be-
ing watered down, as Americans
appear to become more broad
minded" and tolerant.
OF course, we Americans are
additionally opposed to censor
ship - whether it be of our
mail, our speech, or our litera-
ture.
Furthermore, the Constitution
of the United States, and those
of most of the states, do safe
guard freedom of speech - and
properly so. For there always
exists the grave danger that any
individual or board which is
charged with censorship may
suppress ideas, free speech, or
dissent.
But there should he some point
at which liberty becomes dis
tinct from license.
The courts have often held
that freedom Of speech does not
give a man the right to falsely
shout "Fire!' in a crowded the
alter. Likewise, freedom of the
press should not give a blanket
authority to publish mateial and
photographs which are obvious
" obscence.
The difficulty is to determine
just what is "obscence" in the
legal sense. Today. our courts
seem I'd be leaning toward the
measuring devices Of commun-
ity standards and possible lit
erary worth. And these are
tricky meters far removed
from any absolutes.
Take, as a recent example,
the comments of the Massach-
usetts Supreme Court concerning
Henry Mlller'S book, "Tropic OF
Cancer" ~ an example Of the
sort Of material being peddled
as literature" under current
lax standards.
The Court found the book
'repulsive, vulgar. and grossly
offensive in the use of four
letter words. and in the detailed
and coarse statement of sexua.
episodes YET the Court also
found that the book has ser
ious purpose, even if many viii
find that purpose obscure
A few months earlier, the U
S. Supreme Court permitted the
postal distribution Of admitted
ly homoseXual magazines - OF
grounds that they did not fall
into the category of obscene
matter. The question, said thu
Court, was whether to the av
erage person, applying contem
/ porary community standards

or in any Department or Officer
thereof"
This provision is as explicit as
words can make it. It places up
on the elected representatives
of people the exclusive duty of
determining what delegated
powers should be carried into
execution the extent and the
conditions under which they
should operate. It provided that
AL laws which shall be neces-
sary and proper for carrying in
to execution" all delegated pow
er should be made by Congress
in the white light of publicity
which characterizes the legisla-
tive or parliamentary process,
and that they should not be for
mulated behind the closed doors
of executive offices or in the
judicial conference rooms.
The Constitution IS written in
plain words and with exquisite
simplicity. Since the central
government which was being de-
vised was a government of linz
tied powers and those powers
i being such as were delegated
expressly or by necessary i'm
plication. the Philadelphi Caon-
vention did not consider it nee
essary to append to the Consti-
tuition a specifically stated bill
OF rights. However. in conven-
tons called by the states to con-
seer ratification, wise statesmen
and patriots. such as Patrick
Henry and George Mason here
in Richmond, insisted that a bill
OF rights be appended to the
Constitution. Ratification was &C
complished by a gentlemen
agreement that the bill of rights
would be appended to the Con-
stitution by amendments as soon
as the Government Of the United
States should be set up. This
was done by the first ten amend
ments. The Tenth Amendment
which was designed to prevent
the erosion of the reserved and
sovereign powers of the states
reads as follows:
The powers not delegated to
the United States by the Con-
stitution, nor prohibited by it to
the States, are reserved to the
States respectively, or to the
people"
Following the tragic Civil War
the Fourteenth Amendment was
forced at a time when ten
Southern States had no rep
reSentativeS in Congress. Rati-
fication of this amendment
technical at best in the Southern
States. was forced by military
duress. The Fourteeth Amend
nIent was not placed in the Con-
stituhon by consent of the gov
erned in the manner prescribed
by Article V.
Excluding the period of the CT
vii War and the Tragic Era Of
Reconstruction following it, for
$50 years the Government Of the
United States operated reason
ably within the principles of Con-
shtutional Government as de-
signed by the Philadelphia Con-
vention. That is to cay: The
States were reasonably free in
