TURNING FROM FEDERAL EMPIRE At the recent conference of Gov ernors of the states at Salt Lake City, one of the principal subjects of dis cussion and ,protest always recur ring at every conference was the encroachment of the Federal Gov ernment on the reserved powers and rights of the states. The phase of Federal action which received the most comment, some of it quite bit ter in tone, was the tendency to con trol taxation by indirect means. This development of Federal en croachment, as the Post-Dispatch pointed out in its editorial appeal ing to the Governors to organize a movement to stop the march of Fed eral empire, is due to the power glv en it by the Income tax amendment to levy direct taxes on the wealth of the country and thus obtain unlimit ed revenue in peace as well as war has stimulated the multiplication of Federal bureaus and agencies for var ied activities and the practical forc ing of 6tates to Join with the Fed eral Government in its activities. Matching dollars is the favorite method of inducing the states to raise and expend revenues in conjunc tion with and generally under the direction of the Federal Govern ment. Road building is. of course, the most conspicuous and the least ob jectionable example of dollar match ing, because it Is within the dele gated Federal powers. Of course, Federal supervision goes with dollar matching and there are constantly efforts to put the Federal Government in partnership with the states In other objectionable ways, such as health and education. States have been induced to levy inheritance taxes by dividing the rev enue between the Federal Govern ment and the states. The states are now offered 80 per cent of the pro ceeds of inheritance taxes. The eag erness of each state to get part of the revenues paid by the state to the Federal Government offers an irre sistable temptation for the state to yield to this sort of partnership and thus sacrifice its own Independence and right to direct its own taxation and expenditures. Happily, since the Post-Dispatch in 1922 appealed to the Governors to resist encroachment there is evidence of reaction on the part of the people. There has been continued encroach ment, through laws and judicial de cisions, of Federal powers on state rights and guaranteed individual rights. There have been startling proposals for broadening the consti tutional limits of Federal power, but there is now evidence of an awaken ing of the people to the danger of Federal encroachment and a distinct turning to the curtailing of Federal power and the restoration of local self-government. Undoubtedly the principal cause of popular awakening has been the tragic experiences of the country un der the eighteenth amendment and the radical overthrow of both state and individual rights that have flowed from it. This experience of the effects of Federal invasion of the state's powers and its attempts to en force police laws in the states, more than anything else has aroused popu lar sentiment against Federal usurpa tions and in favor of the restoration of the system of government, Federal and state, embodied in the Consti tution. The campaign of former Gov. Smith on a repeal platform exercised a po tent influence on public opinion. The most effective argument against pro hibition is now the plea for local self-government. This is the argu ment which is turning former pro hibitionists against Federal prohi bition. They recognize the danger of giving the Federal Government police powers inhibited by the Con stitution in Its original form and the utter inability of the Federal Gov ernment to exercise them successfully. They feel the resentment caused by the activities in the states of Federal police agents and enforcement offi cers prying into the lives and con duct of citizens, harassing and ar resting them and subjecting thou sands of them to drastic punishment. They recognize the futility of Federal enforcement, coupled with its Inevi table injustices and its demoralizing effect on law and governmental au thority. The child labor amendment was defeated on the ground of its inva sion of state rights and duties. So have other proposals to extend Fed eral activities within the sphere of state jurisdiction. Ambassador Morrow boldly stood on a platform declaring for the re storation of the control of liquor to the states, and was nominated by an overwhelming majority of the Repub lican voters of New Jersey for the United States senatorship. His elec tion is practically assured. In a number of states the people of which formerly supported Federal prohibition had a combined majority for repeal or modification In the Lit erary Digest poll. The people of sev eral formerly dry states have voted for repeal In referendums. The proposals of the Federal Law Enforcement Commission for modi fication of the right of trial by Jury have been received with vigorous protests in and out of Congress. Elihu Root's suggestion of the cre ation of a Federal police to suppress bolshevlsm and revolutionary radical- Ism has been received with almost universal protest by the press. It has received no support outside of the small group of extremists who favor wholesale suppression of free speech among all who hold unortho dox political opinions. We have not justified James Madi son's prophecy of a general revolt against any encroachment by the Federal Government on the reserved rights and powers of the states. To him it was unthinkable without re volt. He wrote In the Federalist: But ambitious encroachments of the Federal Government on the authority of the state gov ernments, would not excite the opposition of a single state, or of a few states only; they would be signals of general alarm. Every government would es pouse the common cause. A cor respondence would be opened. Plans of resistance would be concerted. One spirit would ani mate and conduct the whole. The same combination, in short, would result from an apprehen sion of the Federal as was pro duced by the dread of a foreign yoke; and unless the projected innovations should be voluntar ily renounced, the same appeal to trial of force would be made In the one case as was made In the other. We have not met Federal en croachments with this spirit. On the contrary, we have submitted to it un til It has reached a point threaten ing the destruction of all the rights and powers of the states and the rise of a Federal empire on the ruins of a constitutional republic. We have reason to believe, however, that the craze for the expansion of Federal power Is passing, public indifference to the safeguards of the Constitution is changing to alarm and the people are coming again to the realization that local self-government is the bul wark of liberty for the citizen and safety for the republic. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. :o: AMERICAN TOURISTS American tourists this summer have broken all records," foreign and domestic, and this despite the stock market decline and business depres sion. A gratifying fact is represented in the volume of travel to the Na tion's great parks, which has grown in a few years from around 200,000 to 2.680,597 in 1929. Foreign tourist travel has this year been unusually large, but Americans seem to be learning more about the wonderful scenic beauty and majestic character of their own land, which In mountain, lake and wood in his toric sites, cities, lakes and mighty woodlands transcend the appeals of all other lands. We have here the Yosemlte and all the unrivaled fea tures of the national imperial do main, the Yellowstone, Mount Ran ier. Crater Lake, the Grand Canyon, Niagara and kindred falls, stupen dous mountain chains, valleys more lovely and romantic than the Vale of Cashmere, the Carlsbad Caverns and the titantic sequoia groves. There are twenty-one national parks, superior in attractive and in teresting features to anything of sim ilar character in the world. We have thirty-three national monuments ac cessible the year round. Our cities are the last word in modern civic de velopment, and In sections of the country exist villages and commun ities as startling Interesting as may be found in Europe or the Orient. We have lakes more beautiful than Como, rivers more picturesque than the Rhine, mightier than the Nile.
