"Examining the claim of .the government that congressional authority over arid land to given by Section three of Article four, which prescribe in part that The congress shall have power to dispose of and make all needful rules and regulations respecting the territory or other property belonging to the United Stales, the court says: But clearly it does not grant to congress any legislative control over the states, and must, so far an they are concerned, be limited to authority over the property belonging to the United States within their limits. Appreciating th force of this, counsel for the government relies upon the doctrine of sovereign and inherent power adding, 1 am aware that In advancing this doctrine I aeem to challenge great decisions of tho court, and I speak with deference. Hi argument runs substantially along thta line: All legislative power must be vested in either the state or the nar tlonal government; no legislative powers belong to n state government other than those which affect solely the Internal affairs of that state; connasequently all powera which are tional In their scope must be found vested In the congress of the United States. But the proposition that there are legislative powera effecting the nation aa a whole which belong to, although not expressed In the grant of powers, to in direct conflict with the doctrine that this Is a government of enumerated powers.
