Gilbert Shows How Congress Derives
Vast towers Over Nation s Money By
Short, Simple Phrase Of Constitution
EDITOR'S NOTE: This Is the first of a number of articles ex
plaining the great constitutional truestlons of the day which leading
members of the faculty of the University of Oregon have prepared by
request of the press as a service to the people of Oregon. Dean James
H. Gilbert and Dr. Calvin Crumbaker, economists; Dean Wayne L.
Morse, head of the law school; Dr. John T. Ganoe, historian, have
been selected to interpret the complex problems In the light of past
history and present events. They do not offer opinions or solutions of
current problems but they do explain how they have developed and
how they relate to American welfare and governmental customs. There
will be one article each day.
HAILE CLAIMS
W WORLD
IIET
HREA
I
By JAMES H. GILBERT
Dean of the College of Social Sciences, University of Oregon " i
In Article I, Section 8 of the Federal Construction, the powers of
Congress are listed and defined. Among these is an Innocent looking
clause, "to coin money, regulate the value thereof and of foreign coins
and fix the Btandard of weights and measures."
Our dictionary tells us that the verb "to coin" means simply "to
stamp and certify weight and purity," or "to manufacture metallic
disks to serve as mone."
Consider, then, that under this lean clause of the Constitution our
government has:
1. Chartered and controlled central banks;
2. Set up and supervised a national banking system and a federal
reserve system;
3. Issued paper money based on coin and unsupported by any mone
tary reserve;
4. Given legal tender to depreciated notes;
6. Taxed state bank notes out of use;
6. Devalued the gold dollar and abrogated contracts running to a
hundred billion, calling for payment in gold coin.
We begin to see how far we have moved from the literal meaning
of the organic law of the nation and how impossible it would be to
"return to the Constitution of our fathers."
hven before the mint was in opera
tion fnr-siglitcd Alexander Hamilton
recommended the establishment of
the First United States Bank with a
enpitnl of ten milliou, partly owned
by the federal government which had
representation on its board of di
rectors. Tbe treasury had the right
to inspect aiid to call for statements
from time to time. ,
This proposed partnership between
the treasury and private finance was
bound to rnwe fundamental questions
of constitutionality. Banking was of
course novhcro mentioned in the Con
stitution. There were six corporations
in the whole country when the con
stitutional convention met and the
proposal 4o give congress power to
chnrter corporations was specifically
rejected by the constitution makers.
Washington Had His Worries
The constitutionality of a central
bunk had President Washington puz
zled and the matter was referred to
Edmund Knndolph, his nttorney gen
eral ami legal adviser. Randolph, in
clined to strict construction of the
Constitution, found no warrant for a
bank deriving its powers from the na
tional government. Jefferson agreed

For the second time a split vote
has held up consolidation of the
Unity and Lowell grade schools, the
two districts vol ng again, Saturdny
evening.
Unity turned down the proposition
by a vote of 44 against and 10 for;
while Lowell favored the consolida
tion with a vote of 27 for and 14
against. The proposnl if passed would
have placed the school at Lowell.
Spirited arguments preceded the vot
ing at 'both places, particularly at
Unity where reports termed it a
"boisterous meeting." Feeling has
run high at times in the localities re
garding the consolidation question.
The schools are about three and one
half miles apart, though the districts
adjoin.

WASHINGTON July 20. OP)
President Roosevelt was accused to
day by house Republican Leader Snell
of having come "perilously close to
what some people call impeachable
ground."
Jc h stntement palpably projected
toward next year's election, Snell
lashed the administration's entire leg
islative program and particularly the
president's "latest Tnjjnry," the pro
posed taxes on wealth.
"No administration in the history of
this country," be said, "has had such
a cunfnsinj; record and I hazard the
guess that none ever will be so in
considerate of the rtatutes the ro:
stitutitn, and generally, what the peo
ple really want. Every event has
been made to circumvent the courts,
a clear admission thct the ndministra
tion fears the worst for its legisla
tion.' Elaborating on the impeachable
angle, Snell said the president was
on the border line of violating his
osth to preserve, protect and defend
the constitution, when in a letter to
Chairman Samuel B. Hill D., Was!..)
of a ways and means subcommittee
he urged approval of the flnffey Sny

Deer Friendly
WALTERVILtE, July 20. (Spe
cial) Ueers on the Smith river are
friendly; in fact, their entire fam
ilies are friendly.
.Such is the report of Mr. and Mrs.
E. M, Ncer and sons. Warren and
Lawrence, who Sunday returned from
an overnight camping trip to Smith
river, on the McKenzie. After mak
ing camp the party noticed a deer on
tbe opposite side of tbe river and in
a few moments it had crossed the
stream and was visiting them in tbeir
camp. Efforts to discourage the
visit brought no other results than a
brief departure to round up a small
fawn.
The two animals remained in camP
all night and part of the next day,
and could not be prevailed upon to
leave. -
Several Campers have had a similar
experience with deer in that section
and the general opinion is that they
are looking for salt.

ADDIS ABA II A, Ethiopia, j'uly 20
Emperor Haije Selawio flung an
other ringing challenge at Italy today
as Italy's diplomatic representative
vigorously protested the ' bitter tone
of attacks on Italy" In the emperor's
fighting speech betnre oarliuiueiU
Thursday.
Count Vinci, the Italiun minister,
culled at the foreigu office to protest
verbally against the address without
waiting for written instruction? from
Rome.
Shortly before the emperor, citing
the European nation's increasing pre
parations for war, nppeaied to the
world to help avert the -threatened
Itnlo-Ethopian war lest peace coven
ants become mere scraps of paper.
Old Defeat Rankles
Tbe King of Kings, ami Conquering
Lion of .Iiidah, whose stirring speech
before parliament Thursday fired all
Ethopio's tribal lords to battle fervor.
said in an interview:
"Ever since her crushing defeat
by our army about 40 yeenrs ago,
Italy has nourished the desire to at
tack us. This desire assumed today
more acute and more menacing form,
which Italy tins proclaimed to all the
world.
"All our advances for pence hove
been rejected and our sincere desire
for conciliation has been rebuffed.
"Now, 2,000 yenrs after the cruci
fixion, is pence to he .drowned In the
blood nnd tears of a war'"
Reiterating Ethopia's unwavering
determination to "defend its territory
to the last man for the preservation
of our deathless record of never hav
ng been conquered," tbe dark-skinned,
curly-bearded emperor mode these
points in his case against Itnly.
Case Explained
1. The Italian attitude threatens
to destroy the efficacy of the League
of Nations.
2, It promises to convert the Kel
logg pact outlawing war Into mere
pious hopes.
3. "A drunken brawl between na
tive employes of a commercial agency
nnd local police" Is the best excuse
Italy can find for her apparently Im
pending Invasion.
4, Italy "is seeking a pretext for a
campaign of villification with a view
to eventual conquest."
