Th Issue involved Is merely whether congress has exceeded Its authority In delegating to the President power which under the Constltatlon lies only In the legislative branch - of the government Defenders of the law hold that. In restricting the President's authority to change rates by not more than 50 per cent, congress has enacted a legal delegation of power,. Representative Tyson (Dem., Ala.) who formerly was chief justice of the Supreme court of his state, declares the flexible provisions of the tariff law are unconstitutional Such provisions never before were incorporated In any blll," h6 said. These provisions attempt to confer elastic powers upon the executive. The Constitution clearly Imposes upon the legislative department of the government the power to Tay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excise, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and welfare of the United States. That power can only be exercised by the congress and is nondelegable.'

Coincident disclosed WASHINGTON. flexibility of the tariff act Is to be challenged in- - the courts on the ground of unconstltntlonallty, President Harding has determined to go through with the program outlined by the tariff commission. The President authorizes Thomas O. Marvin, chairman of the tariff commission to go ahead with the Investigation and to send out the notices announcing the proposed investigation Into rates on seventeen commodities. This is a victory for Chairman Marvin and his colleague on the commission, William Burgess, who planned the hearings, and a defeat for Commissioner William S. Culbertson, vice chairman, who wants to work toward a scientific revision of duties. The forthcoming Investigation will In all probability result In litigation to determine the constitutionality of the flexibility provision, vesting In the President the power to change rates of duty.

This building, It appears, is more or ' less historic. An official description says that the Hotel de Conde, fn the rue Monsieur, near the tomb of Napoleon, was built shortly before the French revolution for Mademoiselle de Conde, aunt of the Duke d Engheln, and was designed by Brogniart, one of the famous architects of the time. Major lEnfant, who planned the city of Washington, was one of Brognlarts pupils. The house Itself contains art treasures of the epoch of great value, among which are by Clodion and panels by Boucher. An added sentimental Interest for Americans Is the fact that this house was for many years during the last century the residence of the distinguished French statesman, the Comte de Chambrun, a descendant of Lafayette, and. uncle of the recent charge daffaires at Washington.' , . bas-relie- National Military Park to Yorktown likely . to be ttdded to the system of national military parks under the charge of the War department This system includes the battlefields of In Maryland; Chlckamauga and Chattanooga, In Tennessee; Gettysn Pennsylvania, and Guilford burg,Court House, In North Carolina. Incidentally, military reservations should be transferred to the' national park service of the Interior department as should the ten of more national monuments administered by the forest service of the Agricultural department Both house and senate have passed ' the following : "Be It enacted, etc. That the secretary cf war be, and he is hereby, directed to Investigate the feasibility of establishing a national military park In and about Yorktown, in the state of Virginia, for the purpose of commemorating the campaign and siege of Yorktown in the fall of 1781 and the preservation of said battlefield for historical purposes, and to prepare plans of such park and an estimate of the cost of establishing and acquiring the same and obtain such other Information as may enable congress to act upon the matter after being advised.

Congress may or may not adopt those plans ; It may or may not establish the park. Of course, If a military park should be established at Yorktown, there might possibly be some expense attached, or It might be arranged that that expense should be borne by various patriotic societies.

In-- ' cldentally, to terminate the adventure in economy by which traveling Americans are spending $8,000, 000 a year to enable their government to collect $2,500,000 In vise fees from aliens arriving In this country, failed h In the final hours of the congress, but will be pressed with determination. when the next congress convenes in December. Since 1921 Americans have not needed passports to leave their own country, which has not greatly altered the situation since they are still required to have them In order to enter nearly all countries. In 1921, also, the American vise requirement was discontinued in' the case of all outgoing, but continued for all Incoming aliens. The war had been over nearly two years when congress raised from $2 to $10 the fees for Issuing passports to Americans and viselng the passports of aliens. The plan succeeded In bringing In to the treasury daring 1921 abont $1,300,000 in passport fees paid by Americans to their government for pasbports, and approximately $8,000,-00- 0 paid by aliens. But It kept no Americans at home and It did not ck IrnffilgTatlon. Sixty-sevent- per congress passed law, the effect of which was to limit-t360,000 the number of the aliens permitted to enter the United States In any one year, and by so doing cut down the revenues from vise fees 'to abont . r $2,500,000 annually. Meantime, other governments promptly followed the lead of the United States by charging American citizens, the same fees for viselng .their passports that the American diplomatic and consular officers abroad, under the act of June, 1920, were obliged to charge for viselng the passports of their nationals. A few countries exceeded the American rate. The effect, of course, has been that an American abroad Is obliged to 'pay from five to ten times as much for bis vises in any European country as an European making the same journey. Again, since an American traveling abroad visits on a conservative average five countries, he pays $50 in vise fees where an European visiting the United States pays $10 for his Ameri-ca- n vise, which, plus the cost of pass- port, brings his expenditure to $11 or $12 as against the Initial $10 paid by the American for his passport and $50 to foreign governments for vise fees, a total of $00, which can be, and 1 Increased by another $10 for Oach additional country visited. : -- ' " ; |
