TREND TOWARD CENTRALIZA
TION.
With the revival of the discussion
of uniform divorce laws. Federal su
pervision of life insurance and inier
state trade commission, the grant
ing of federal charters, federal ap
propriations for highways, federal
primary laws, federal prohibition
amendments, federal suffrage
amendments and federal investiga
tions by the dozen, it is shown bow
great is the tendency toward elimi
nation of state lines once guarded
with such jealousy.
Without regard to trad'tional party
policies all sorts of bills are being
introduced in congress which would
give to the federal government pow
ers hitherto exercised by the state
alone. The “promote the general
welfare” clause of the constitution,
which was so often c'ted in the past
as ground for laws and appropria
tions for which no spee'flc authority
could be readily found in that flexible
instrument, is no longer needed. The
shooting of migratory birds has been
forbidden under the commerce
clause. Lotteries have been stamp
ed out through use of the commerce
clause and the control of the mails
together.
The proposal to bar from interstate
commerce merchandise made by chil
dren or under certain working condi
tions was rejected by congress, but
most students of supreme court de
cisions believe such a measure would
be constitutional The meat inspeee
tion law, the Mann white slave law
and a multitude of other acts a gen
eration ago would have been decried
as "invasions of the rights of the
state.”
In some cases uniformity has been
brought about by influencing the var
ious state legislatures to act, but the
number impatient of action by the
state lawmaking bodies steadily
grows and congress is responding to
appeals for federal laws undreamed
of when states boasted of their sov
ereignty and some of them tailed
their senators "ambassadors.” And
thus does time prove that Alexander
Hamilton, not Thomas Jefferson, had
the correct idea of how the affairs
of tile country ultimately must be
conducted. —Ex.
