SEES STATE PERILS - INFEDERAL POWE Senator King Flays Bureau- _gracy—Hits Huge Finan- cial Combines. (Continued From First Page.) changes have brought us to a parting of the ways, th: ngw economic pe- riod has cqme. “It may be called the ‘mechanical era,’ or the ‘age of consoll- dations and trusts,’” he said. Conceding that such a development “perhaps is inevitable,” he reasserted that in free competition in trade and in local self-government remain the real sources of national unity and strength. Full Text of Speech. Benator King’s speech in full follows: Recently I was asked by a patriotic. American, who is familiar with our history and with recent economic and {ulmul changes, the question: “What s the future of this Republic?” He and others present had discussed capi- talistic consolidations taking place in the United States; the increasing au- thority and power of the Federal Gov- ernment; its relations to Nicaragua; its support of Obregon and Calles and the present government in Mexico; its claimed special interests in Central America; its military occupation of Haiti, and, for a time, of Santo Do- mingo:; the stupendous investments of its cliizens in various parts of the) world; its enormous expenditures for military purposes; and the claim, not infrequently made, that it was im- perialistically inclined. ‘This and questions growing out of a consideration of these matters are being asked by citizens of the United States in all parts of our country. There is a feeling among some that forces are operating within our social and political organ- isms which threaten our form of government and the stability of our institutions. Political leaders in various times have gained applause by extravagant praise of their respective countries. Not in- frequently those who challenged atten- tion to national and social evils and dangers were condemned. There is no promise of immortality to this or any other government. Human institutions rest upon insecure foundations and their tenure of life is determined by their conformity to the principles of morality and justice. Hope of Liberty Lovers. g ‘This Republic is called upon to ascer- tain and demonstrate whether or not millions of people of different national origins and occupations and living in a country of vast extent are capable of applying the principles of democracy and maintaining a progressive and stable government. That is its mission. ‘This Republic was a great experiment, and few there were in all the world who believed that it would survive the storms of a century. Lovers of liberty throughout the world rested their hopes upon this experiment. Webster declared that it was the last hope of mankind, and if it should be proclaimed that the example of the people of America had become an argument against an experiment of free government, the knell of popular liberty would be sounded throughout the earth. It has been declared by students and political writers that a democratic government is the most difficult to maintain. Maine, in his “Anclent Law,” avers that popular sovereignty is characterized by great fragility, and that democracy, of all forms of govern- ment, is by far the most difficult; so difficult that it would tax'to the utmost all the political sagacity and statesman- ship in the world to keep it from misfortune. Speaking of the United States, Lord Bryce declares that if the moral forces which have led more than a hundred millions of men to obey that com- mon will which they have provided peaceful means for ascertaining, if ever these forces that have created and preserved the sense of common | duty and common interest, should show signs of decay, what hope would remain for the world? The re- sponsibility resting upon the citizens of this Republic is greater than that which devioved upon any people in any age. If democracy fails; if it has those in- herent and destructive elements which portend its destruction, what hope has this or succeeding generations? Speak- ing for myself, I believe in the future of democracy. It is not only the peo- ple's government but it rests upon Divine authority. I am reminded of the statement of the French Deputy when he declared: “March without the peo- ple and you march into the night. Thelr instincts are a finger-pointing of Providence.” Democracy will make grievous mis- takes, but in the end must triumph. Prof. Sumner of Yale once said.that the government of a Roman Emperor, a Czar, a Sulten, or a Napoleon has been only a raid of a lot of hungry sycophants upon the subject mass: that the aristocracy of Venice and other city states had been only a plutocratic oligarchy, the state bcing used for selfish ends: “that democracy has never yet been tried enough to know what it will do, but with Jacobinism, Commun- ism, and social democracy lying in wait for it on one side, and plutocracy on the other, its promise is not greater than that of the old forms. It remains to be proved that democracy possesses nn{\ ':!fibll!ty and that it can guarantee It rests with the people of this Re- public to prove the essential goodness and greatness and morality of democ- racy. Of course, its success depends upon the character of the people, their devotion to ethical principles, their appreciation of the spiritual forces operating in the hearts of men. The pathway to the uplands where justice reigns is steep and rugged: “Does the road wind uphill all the way? Yes, to the very end, ‘Will the day’s journey take the whole long day? From morn to night, my friend.” ‘There are those who perceive paral- lels between this Nation and nations which have rished. They point to the melancholy fate of various nations of the past and the causes of their downfall. Most historlans agree that departures from justice and morality ‘were the primary, if not the sole, causes; that the agressions of wealth, the exer- cise of unjust political authority, not infrequently were the proximate causes of national decadance and destruction. jocracy can survive only where there is devotion and character and a high, sense of justice. Democracy is more than an institution, it is a moral, ethical and spiritual force which must Per- meate individuals and guide their lives. It demands vigilance—constant and unremitting, and implacable opposition to evt form of political umrplchli ery and infringement of inidividual rights. Protection of Individual. ‘The struggle in monarchial rern- ments was to protect individual rights against the aggressions of the govern- ment; an important struggle in demo- cratic governments is to secure the rights of individuals, not only against government, but majorities. Democratic governments should be con- cerned in the protection of the indi- vidual, and one of the dangers in is the tendency of major- ities to oppress the individual. Mill, in his pleas for nbettz; feared of majorities even in democracies, which he insisted was among the evils is required to be on its guard. 1t is obvious to the most casual stu- dent of our ‘oummembe t:::t our dual lons by the against the assaults form of government is As I have indicated, it was not be- lieved by political of past that there” could be n envernment. Thev somesived oniv a the tyranny | to industries [ that sovere! was indivisible; they could not mn that there could be an indestructible union of indestructible sov States; that the functions pergm‘ to government could be '«fi: vided—the national being clothed with | in * certa! mocracy is the Federal system which limits the central fovernment by pow- authority definite and ~ certain and chlmdtywlth the performance of limited and specified duties, and the State or | ers they have led, and the people | minions are not losing their affection local sovereignty possessing complete | by the authority they have granted.|for the mother country because of the power and unrestricted authority es- | Are we forgetting that this was a con- litical ~ decentralization which is sential to the execution of vital and im- | tribul America to political accomplished and the almost po- portant responsibilities placed upon it by the people themselves. Predictions as to Futare. There are political writers of our day who insist that a dual form of govern- ment such as is provided in the Con- stitution cannot survive; that the cen- trifugal forces are so powerful that the States will sooner or later be drawn within the powerful (rlsg of the Federal Government and lose t! not their names. These writers that the unitary form of government will finally prevail, as it has prevailed sooner or later in most nations of the past; that the future of this Re- public is not democracy, not stronger units of local self-government, not sovereign States, not the assel or maintenance of a more rugged individualism, but the reverse. The States will be weakened until they become mere shadows of the puissant organization contemplated by _the fathers. They see a powerful Federal Government becoming more bureau- cratic and more omnipotent, not only in its relation to the States, but to the individuals within the States, until finally not only the so-called inde- structible States, but the individuals, themselves, will be swallowed up and their identity and personal liberty lost in a consolidated government unres- tricted in authority. | One of the most important problems confronting the American people today is w'g‘l'ev!nl the absorption of the States by the Federal Government, and to make local life real, to revivify the States and to awaken the deadened spirit in order that virile, intelli- || gent,. patriotic and successful _self- government may be enjoyed. There must be an assertion of sovereignty by the States, which will be more than anemic reflexes of the Federal Government. Individuals and States must derive their strength as plants from the soil.. Their nutrition that will give vitality—mental, intellectual and must come from within the nd not from without. States Mr. Lincoln, in his first message to Congress, stated: “To maintain inviol- ate the rights of the Staes to order and control, under the Constitution, their own affairs by their own judgment, and exclusively, is essential for the preser- vation of that balance of power on' which our institutions rest.” In a letter to Joseph Cabel, Jeffer- i} son asked, “What has destroyed the liberty and the rights of man in every government which has ever existed un- der the sun? The generalizing and con- centrating all cares and powers into one body, no matter whether of the au- tocrats of Russia and France or of the aristicrats of the Venetian Senate.” Importance of States. | ‘There is no more important question before the American people than that || involved in the preservation of the States in all their vigor, authority and power. If the States are compounded into a general mass; if they cease to be || sovereign and supreme in their domes- || tic concerns, then our form of govern- || ment is destroyed. That there are forces 2t work undermining the States, weak- || ening their authority and destroying || their prestige, no one can deny. It is || as treasonable to attack the sovereignty || of the States as it would be to make |! war upon the Federal Government. Lo- calf self-government lies at the very foundation of a free country. It is one |, of our most precious heritages. It is the school in which idependence and lib- | erty were bred. This is not a question of bringing to life a dead “State’s rights || doctrine,” it is dealing with a funda- (| mental question of political science. || The question of local self-government and the principle of the sovereignty of || the States is not a dead issue. It isone || of the most vital problems in our body politic. These United States cover a || vast territory, possessing every variety of soil and climate and inhabited by mil- lions of people, many of whom come from other lands. They have different physical environments and varied his- torical conditions. They have different customs, manners and thoughts. While essentially one people along purely na- | & tional lines, there -are differences. as || there should be, and must be, if local government survives and individualism is preserved. | A powerful bureaucracy is being es- || tablished in the United States with ai- || most autocratic power. More than 800.- | | 000 persons are clothed with Federal || authority and constitute a part of the great bureaucracy under which we live. The activities of the Federal Govern-' ment are being extended into almost every home of the land. Through its numberless agencies, bureaus, depart- ments and instrumentalities it is ex- ercising power, a portion of which it || is believed by many it does not possess || under the Constitution. Paternalism is growing, and side by side with it so- || cialism strides with vigorous step, while || bureaucracy marches with triumphant |/ banners throughout the land. The mel- | ancholy picture is presented of many || of the people shirking domestic and legal responsibilities, betraying their States and contributing to their decline by giving support to Federal aggression || and Federal bureaucratic government. The States are being devitalized and lo- cal governmental units exhibit a de- pressing form of atrophy. Students of history do not fail to discover analogies, if not parallels, between powerful na- tions of the past whose tragic fate hi torians portray. Aggressions of tie ex- ecutive departments of our Government and its increasing power, much of which was not granted under the Constitution, no longer provokes serious opposition || or resentment among many of the ! people. A Unfortunately the idea of uniformity of thought and conduct and ideals and standardization of the lives of the peo- || has become s dogma and an ob- session, and to accomplish this result, Federal control over individuals and even States is urged with increasing vigor through constitutional limitations upon the Federal Government are to be disregarded. It is apparent that rever- ence for the fundamental law of the land is diminishing and many citizens treat with contemptuous scorn appeals to the Constitution against legislation destructive of personal liberty and the rights of the States. ‘Wards of Government. ‘There is a growing demand that the Federal Government project itself into the States and that it take over their | tunctions and responsibilities. Demands are made that the Federal Government shall construct local highways, provide educational facilities, supply revenues for schools, provide for and take over the public health of the people, grant old-age pensions, provide all forms of insurance, control all persons under 18 years of age, perform the police func- tions of the States, ':n':‘l:l. criminal stat- 0 States are to be the wards of the Fed- éral Government, which ls, through bureaus and Federal agencies and hun- dreds of thousands of Federal employ- es, to perform the duties of a benevo- lent despot or & gracious and ylelflln:i g the Federal Government concurrently Bt e e U der the Federal tendencies not only were checked, but terdicted.

The Federal Trade Commission was created to prevent unfair practices and to aid in preventing monopolistic eviis. Courts have held that combinations seeking to restrict production or rsise prices or restrain trade were illegal, and that & combination of competing con- cerns to control the price, or to limit production or - suppress _ competition, was contrary to public policy ard void, ‘There has been no sustained, vigorous’ effort to enforce these laws, and as a Twin-Heel - HXQC $1.00 Rayon Underwear Silk- and- Rayon Sor 00, SR i - Portect quality, with twin- pliquid styles—deeply under- point, single-point nn: priced Popu ar pastel - heels.
