PAGE F010S NEVADA STATE JOtJRNAL, RENO NEVADA Sunday, January 11, 1931 outnal J. Publisher SUNDAY; JANUARY 11, 1931 Hoover and the Senate The breach between President Hoover and the progressive members of the senate has been further widened by the refusal of the executive to resubmit his nominations of Messrs. Smith, Garsaud and Draper as members of the Federal Power Commission. Regardless of the merits of the controversy, Mr. Hoover is probably right in refusing to establish the precedent of permitting the senate to remove an executive officer under the guise of reconsideration of his nomination.

After the refusal of the president to accede to the request of the senate, the names of the three objectionable Federal power commissioners were restored to the calender by a decisive vote. The significance of such a procedure is hard for a layman to understand but it undoubtedly presages another senatorial effort to unseat the Hoover appointees. No legislative bodly in the world is more jealous of its powers and perogatives than the United States senate. A single member of that august assemblage can often block confirmation of executive appointments on the grounds of personal privilege. If it comes to a contest between senatorial dignity and executive lines are apt'to be forgotten.

If the issue is forced, President Htoover has a hard road ahead, and he cannot be blamed for trying to avoid an extra session of congress to be called after March 4th. The country will more rapidly be restored to normal business conditions if it is spared the spectacle of an undignified squabble between the chief executive and its chief legislative body. Arizona Suit The disagreement of representatives of the other interested states over the defense to be made to the suit state pf Arizona to restrain the Boulder dam construction is an unfortunate incident. The attorney-general of Nevada has displayed a willingness to co-operate in every way with the other representatives, but an overweening desire to lead the band has apparently kept some of the other legal advisers from exhibiting the proper spirit of team work. The only real danger in the matter lies in the resultant delay, which will hold up several enterprises until the matter is finally settled.

Even this difficulty will be minimized if the secretary the interior will resolutely proceed with the main construction in spite of the retarding efforts of the Arizona authorities. The Tenth and the Eighteenth Amendments In their effort to prove that the eighteenth amendment is invalid, counsel in'recent prohibition cage's have cited the tenth amendment to the constitution. This amendment says: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people." From this it is argued that after the ratification of the tenth amendment no amendment giving the federal government additional power over the people or their rights could be adopted save by the people in convention. As is well known, the eighteenth amendment was not ratified by the people in convention but by the state legislatures, Hence the argument that the amendment i.s invalid. According to the New York World' this argument, which has never seemed entirely'plausible, is refuted by the United States circuit court of appeals by a process of reasoning which seems unanswerable.

The court pictures "powers" under the constitution as existing on three stages. First, there are 'the powers reserved to the is, the powers which have not been granted specifically by the people cither to the states or to the federal governm'ent. Then there are the powers granted by the people to the states. And finally there are powers granted by the states to the nation. As the court points out, the tenth amendlment embodied a rule of construction affecting powers under the constitution as it then stood, and powers under all preceding amendments, but there is plainly nothing in the amendment to indicate that new powers hitherto "reserved t'o the people" could not in future be delegated to the federal government by the process of amending the constitution.

For power to amend the constitution was one of the powers already granted specifically by the people to the states and the federal government, uiider article of the constitution. This article grants congress power to propose ratification of amendments by state legislatures or by conventions. In the case of national prohibition congress' chose the former method. The process of ratification was thereupon completed when the legislatures of three-quarters of the states had given their assent. In these circumstances the court rules that the eighteenth amendment is legally, part of the constitution.

Now that Ruth Hanna McCormiek is safely out of the political clouds chances are she will have to learn all ovdr how to wash dishes and feed the canary. The prohibition issue has reached a status at last where it is satisfactory to' everybody except the fellows who Qan't get sick enough to get prescriptions or are ribt well enough connected socially to enjoy acquaintance of the bootleggers. Clarence Darrow says there are only about 3,000 intelligent people in the world, but we have decided not to blow about it. isn't anything for us to gain in'mak- ing the other fellows sore. Glenna Collett, golf enthusiast, says golf is the "master boauty specialist." Anybody who has ever seen a picture of Vienna Collett will want to know right off when she got that notion.
