The Dalles Daily Chronicle. SATURDAY - l'KC. '2'2, 1000 H7.I7' DOES "VXITED STATES" ME AX' inthe Porto Kicolton when lie shol,U1 l,avc l,co" nt The arguments nml Philinninn nnsn4 Imvc been made in the United States supreme court and tho cases have been submitted for the final adjudication of the court. To the ordinary lay mind the constitutional question involved , appears quite simple. It becomes complex and dillicult only when the lawyers begin quoting authorities and decisions whose relevancy the lay mind is unable to determine. As to the question involved there can be no doubt. It all hinges on the meaning of the first clause of the eighth section ot the first; article of the constitution, which reads as fol lows : "The congress shall have power to laj' and collect taxes, duties, imports and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States, but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform turought the United States." Reduced to still more concise di mensions the thing to he determined is, Whit did the framers of the con stitution mean by the term "United States?" "When this has been de termined the controversy would seem to be at an end. It was "We the people of the United States" that "ordained and established" the con stitution. Who were "we?" There can be only one answer. It was only the people of the states united who were privileged to vote oa the 1 uuupuuii ui me uuusiiuiud;i. At the time of its adoption in 17SS we owned, outside the states them- selves, the vast national domain i n. ah i . i nins and the Mississippi river. A J year before the adoption of the con- j stitution the part of this domain lying north of the Ohio river, and comprising the present states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Michigan and Wisconsin, had been organized by the famous ordinance of 1787 into the Northwest Territor', with a regular territorial government. But no resident of thai territory, or of the territory south of the Ohio had , any voice in "ordaining or establish ing" the constitution. The constitution was thus ordained and ratified 1)3 the people of the' stales that comprised the Union and 1 by thorn only, and from that hour to1 this the people of the territories never have had a voice in making, ratifying, amending or operating the constitution. To a lay mind, there fore, capable of construing a plain English sentence, and not befogged by the subtilties of the law, it would appear that the term United States meaus the slates united and nothing more. Matters ot great and far-reaehiii" importance to Oregon have been and still are before the United States senate.
