The resolution was referred to the senate Judiciary committee. Senator Costigan said ho would canvass the committee to ascertain the possibilities for a favorable report on his proposal. It is understood that the judiciary committees in both houses of congress will have a number of similar resolutions referred to them before the session is ' very far advanced. It is therefore more than probable that the power of congress in the field of industry relations is scheduled for considerable parliamentary discussion during the next few months. PLANS ARE ACTIVELY PUSHED FOR HIRTIIDAY HALL FOR THE PRESIDENT President Roosevelts address to the joint session of congress Fri day night was a real challenge to autocracy. To a morally and polit cally bankrupt, although highly vocal Tory opposition, he threw down the gauntlet of combat. In the Presidents address is something for Messrs. Hoover, Fletch dealers to chew on. The reactionary leaders er, and other in both houses must remember during the entire session that the peo' pie are awaiting an answer to the Presidents challenge. The Tories do not dare propose to tear down the New Deal struc ture. They have neither the means nor the courage to put forth a weak substitute. Despite Tory clamor, the President has the overwhelming majorbehind him. There is no ity of the American people doubt about that. The Presidents defiance of "our splendid economic autocracy now pitting its billions against him, will be historic, regardless of the outcome of the 1936 election. Without a doubt, it was a rough night for autocracies, both at home and abroad. Roosevelts challenge hurled like a thunderbolt at the whole tribe of entrenched greed, will put new heart into democracy old-gua- rd whole-hearted- ly everywhere. The vast majority of the American people heartily approve of the Presidents patriotic statements about the money changers, and the minority of entrenched wealth which has no feeling for the welfare ol' the people. He issued, without mincing, any words, a warning of the perils which lie in the countries abroad, in contrast to the peaceful aspect of affairs in the western hemisphere. No less pointed were his references to the triumphs to the New Deal recovery program, and to those selfish interests which would sacrifice the victory. It was the voice of a great leader, who believes in the welfare of humanity. It showed fearlessness and true patriotism in behalf of the American people. Because of his address he gained greater respect and love of his countrymen. war-fearf- ul DEMOCRACY OR AUTOCRACY - WHICH? Has the United States a democratic form of government? Or, has it an autocratic dictatorship of a few old men? These are two vitally important questions that come to the minds of the average citizens of the United States when we see the actions of the legislative department nulled by the supreme court of the land. In its latest pronouncement, the supreme court by a 6 to 3 decision killed the Agricultural Adjustment Act. Now it remains to be seen whether the American people will consent to be governed by a body of nine old men, all of whom were appointed for life by presidents now dead or repudiated. This body of nine old men has now become the sovereign power of the United States, not only in judicial matters, but also by arrogation in legislative and executive affairs as well. Has the supreme court of nine old men who are not to the people of the country, the right to kill laws passed responsible by the legislative department and approved by the executive department laws which have been endorsed by the people? The supreme court voted against AAA by a 6 to 3 decision, but the farmers of the country voted for the AAA by a 6 to 1 majority. In Utah, the farmers endorsement of the AAA was 11 to 1. The new deal legislation has been in the interest of human welfare. The decisions of the supreme court apparently have been in the interest of those who believe in the interest of the almighty dollar. It seems that the recent decisions of the supreme court on the new dear measures will hasten constitutional amendments to the basic law of the land so that human interests may be protected and a true democ- WESTERN AUTO RADIATOR CO. 141 Motor Avenue Phone Wasatch 4204 Salt Lake City, Utah " We Manufacture, Rebuild, Repair and Clean ALL RADIATORS 1 ANOTHER LEAGUE REELECTS CAIIILL (Continued from page 1) communists hope in this country to gain something of respectability and public confidence by association with the bona fide labor movement.

LABOR AND THE CONSTITUTION He maintains that supreme court decisions have limited the power of congress so drastically that anything less than an amendment to the constitution will fail to equip the federal government to deal with repeatedly changing economic and social conditions.
