The Honoratole Arthur Woolley of Ogden, candidate for Congressman Congress-man from the first congressional district of Utah, was the keynote speaker of the day. Among aome of the things he said were: "The Republican party aft this critical time Irr the destinies cf our national government ia the bewt available medium for uniting all of our citizens who feel concern foi the American system that Is im. periled by the experimenitalism of the present administration. Under the vague and illusory slogan of a new deal the nation has for two years been deluged with panacea of origin foreign to the American spirit. State Socialism, Facism, Sovletism, Communism, Marxism, Naziism all have been used a models for the expedenta applied by the Brain Trust under a babel of Initials that has exhausted the alphabet. In the frantic haste to do something that hap not been tried before. Constitution Praised . "Our government is not .v copy of an old machine. The American model is the best form of government govern-ment on the earth. The ct.nstitu-t'on ct.nstitu-t'on of the tlnitjd States is not worn out or rbco'ete. The principle prin-ciple of representative government embodied in It is am eternal truth which no temporary adversity can alter or change. The division ol governmental function into three co-ordinate branches: each exclusive exclus-ive and supreme in its sphere, was the contribution of the foundins fathers to the science of government, govern-ment, and no improvement in the art has been discovered to replace it. The spectacle recently withness-ed withness-ed of the congress of the United States, under the ballyhoo of the New Deal, passing measure after measure without deliberation or consideration, and without knowing what they contain, by which powers reserved to the legislative department depart-ment by the eonstitutioni would be surrendered to the executive is viewed With deepest foreboding by everyone who Is thoughtfully devoted de-voted to the perpetusttion of the republic. The powers to make laws, to fix the value of money, and to lay taxes upon the people are the whole sum of government in time of peace. These powers were carefully care-fully placed in the national constitution consti-tution within the exclusive province of the representatives in congress. They have now beeni given over in unprecendented measure to the president. "Despotlism, under whatever gui-e, is intolerable to the free American spirit. A bestowed despotism Is a odious as one by ursupation. "Today, more than ever to the history of a free people, we are governed by (the regulations and restrictions re-strictions of commissions, bureaus, agencies and what-nota of power. It is a government of men, not of law. It Is government by caprice, and government by caprice Is tyranny, by any other name. Even a beneflcient tyranny Is unbearable unbear-able to a freeman." |
