Realizing the danger and excesses of a direct Democracy, the of our Constitution endeavored to a government that would protect the rights and liberties of the individual and at the same time reflect ultimately the will of the majority in the enactment of the law of the land. Ours a Representative Form of Government. To accomplish this end. they established a representative form of govern- designed to create a law-making power responsive to the will of the people, and at the same time they wrote in the Constitution certain checks and balances intended to prevent the more brutal force of a majority from de- the liberty and property rights of the individual. It must always be borne in mind that the of our Constitution were not attempting to establish freedom of Government, for they created a Gov- with only certain delegated powers expressly given to the Nation by the States, reserving to the States the right to make most of the laws that affected the liberties of the citizen. The underlying principle of the was to guarantee the liberty of the citizen and the protection of his property rights against the power of the Government itself. Independent Judiciary Established. To guard and protect these rights, an independent judiciary Ml established to see that neither the Executive nor the Legislative branches of the Govern- encroached upon the guaranteed rights of the individual. It is evident that the framers of the Constitution were unwilling to trust a selected legislative body, held in check by the veto power of the Executive; fearing even then an unbridled abuse of the power, they guarantees of liberty that a majority of the people could not trample upon or the Government itself destroy. Some may say that a majority of the people will not endanger the liberties and rights of the individual. I wish that this were but the history of every government has shown that at times the people, when unchecked by constitutional guarantees, have destroyed individual rights and individual liberty. Unwise Changes Now Proposed. It is now proposed by some that we shall in part abandon the representative government enacted by our Revolutionary fathers, and adopt a system that in the end would establish a direct democracy when the ultimate power to make laws would be placed-directly in the bands of all the people, and the independent judiciary intended to Constitutional guarantees of individual liberty would subservient to the will of the majority through political com- We may forget that Madison and Hamilton, soldiers in war for can Independence, brought their groat minds and mature judgments to the framing of the Constitution of the United States, but there is one whose sincere judgment will not be doubted m to the value of a representative government as with a direct one, even by those who doubt the sincerity of pose and the honesty of opinion of men Jefferson's Wise Views.

Representative Government Only Check on Excesses and Passion. Our representative government was established to guard against the ex- which had brought the ancient direct popular government to destruction. and because our government does not at all times immediately re-pond to public sentiment, there are some who insist that the principle of government is at fault and must be changed. They do not reflect that at times they may mis- judge real public sentiment, at other times the instrument of the govern- whom the people can change at recurring is at fault and not the basic principle of the government it-elf. My experience as a legislator lends me to believe that the Congress of the United States will always ultimately respond to the enlightened and matured sentiment of the people With the changing tides public sentiment, we have repeatedly experienced changes in the exercise of the taxing powers. We have seen the legislative branch of the government in direct response to public sentiment in recent years enact railroad rate legislation, pure food laws, provide for the publicity of campaign funds, national quarantine, irrigate West and Canal.

The special session, however, was not without far-reaching results.

With Southerner as Chief Justice, a Southerner as majority leader in Congress, and Southerners as prominent candidates for Democratic presidential nomination Underwood and nation is certainly more united than at any time since the Civil War.

For more than JO years he has been in the very front of his party's battle line, a leader from his youth, and ever faithful to his party's principles and candidates. No Democrat can find a flaw in his political record; no charge of desertion in any campaign; no of serving special interests can lie against him. His congressional colleagues respect him for his sincerity, his high sense of honor, his sagacity and his edged ability, this in itself is an infallible proof of his merit, for none know so well the capabilities of a statesman as those who have served many years with him and noted his conduct in days of peace and those of political Enquirer, October 1911.

R. making appropriations the Department of Agriculture for the fiscal year ending June 1909- Mr. Underwood Mr. Objection is made to this appropriation looking to the of our public-road system on the ground that it invades the re- served powers of the States. I wish to say there is no man on the floor of this House more jealous in his desire to protect the reserved rights of the States than am. believe the sovereign States composing the Union have their duties to perform and should perform them without aid or hindrance on the part of the Federal Government. I do not believe the Central Government should enter into the legislative fields that belong to the States, but I believe that the Federal Government, its well-defined powers, hit its duty to perform under the powers given it by the Constitution; that it should give force and effect to the grants of power given it by the States, and one of these grants of power, to use the language of the Constitution, is post-offices and There can be no question whatever that the Constitution carries the power to build post-roads in the United States. To establish post-offices means to build and to establish post-roads means to build post-roads. Gen- may scoff at the proposition and say that the fathers did not plate our present development and modern methods of that they contemplated building roads to carry the mail through the wilderness and did not dream of a time coming die mail could be delivered at every farmer's door. But I want to say, Mr. Chairman, that the need for post-roads in the States was no greater in days of the fathers than today. Mr. Douglas. Where docs the gentleman find anything in the Constitution authorizing the Federal Government to build post-roads Mr. Underwood. Why, it is very clear. The Constitution gives the power to the Federal Government post-offices and Mr. Douglas. The language of the Constitution is to post-roads, and that has been held to be a very different thing from building them. Mr. William.

Oscar W. Underwood of Ala- who has recently been discussed as a possible Democratic candidate for the presidency. It is needless to say that The Times is not concerned to ad- the interests of any gentleman in this direction in preference to any It is concerned only in laying before its readers such information, carefully gathered and impartially as will aid in the formation of sound public opinion and a choice that will be to the greatest advantage of the Nation. We think our readers will agree that any party may be congratulated among whose prominent men, to whom the eyes of the party are directed on the eve of a presidential campaign, there is one with such standing among those who know him best as Mr. Underwood has. Plainly he is a man to be trusted, because he is trusted, for his integrity, civic courage, and ability, by his Whether, when the time comes for a choice, he will be the best man is a question which it is now too early to decide. But there is one element that will enter into the problem which may well receive even thus early It is the fact that Mr. Underwood is a man of South- birth, a Representative from a South- State. There is a feeling, rather than a definite opinion, which finds ex- more often in his own section than in the North, and perhaps more often in his own party than in the op- party, that this fact would be a source of weakness if Mr. Underwood were named by the Democracy. Of course, this is a matter not easily to be decided with confidence in ad- There has been no occasion for a distinct expression of public sentiment regarding it.

For our part, we believe that such is of more practical value than would be the keenest political and that this very absence of self- seeking, this contempt for the arts of the politician, is working for him, while he himself has his mind centered upon things he regards as of more moment.

Oscar Underwood. Underwood's record in states- is a good enough guarantee of his fitness for the White House. He measures up to all the requirements of the exalted position. He is fearless and broad-minded, and there is nothing of the demagogue in his composition. Some will cavil at his Southern origin and raise the oft-repeated cry that no Southerner can be elected to the This bugaboo is raised in spite of the fact that all the leading papers of the North and South and all writers of any note have declared time and again that sectional feeling and dice, based on the war of have died out completely. that he true is there any longer any valid reason against going to the South for a candidate If Mr. Under- wood's personality and public service render him peculiarly available should the matter of location bar him from the nomination The idea is Hon.

The free bill was a master stroke, and Mr. Underwood utilized it in the debate with an effectiveness that left nothing to be What gives real strength to the Democratic position is that the party is grappling with a big and difficult question in a spirit that is at once courageous and practical.

Southern Leaders and the Tariff No sensible man, certainly no one friendly to the South, wishes to see the tariff made a sectional question. The course of Mr. Clark and Mr. Under- wood tends to prevent this. They stand not only with their own party through- out the country, but with the strong public sentiment in support of tariff re- that has divided the Republican party, and thrown the House into the hands of the Democrats. When we say- that in this they arc serving their own section, we have in mind the important fact that they are bringing to bear on national affairs the intelligence and strength of their section, and giving it the opportunity to take a leading part in the affairs of the Nation. They are undermining the unfortunate section- that has, perhaps unavoidably, pervaded Southern politics for a lone; time. They are ranging the South on the side of progress and in the of the most significant movement of national opinion that has manifested it- self in years.

UNDERWOOD AND THE PAPERS The careful reader of the newspapers is surprised at one notable feature of the papers from practically sec- of the country. This feature is the general notice and attention paid to Con- Oscar Underwood as a date for the Democratic presidential nomination, and the uniform which invariably accompanies the men of him and his candidacy. This is all the more surprising Mr. maintains no press bureau. On the other hand, prominent candidates for the Democratic nomination like Gov Harmon of Ohio, Governor son of New Jersey and Speaker Clark of Missouri, maintain large and active bureaus, which arc continually sending out campaign literature to the papers of the country. Notwithstanding this at the present time Mr. Underwood is receiving more attention than any other, might say am other two, presidential candidates i The attitude of the voter towards Mr. I may be doubted until that attitude is made char in an election, but it cannot be doubted that his record and his strong personality arc admired the newspapers of the country. For now he is receiving more free and advertising than any other public man of the. country i Alabama Advertiser January 1912. Underwood Among 1912 Possibilities The threatened breakdown of Ma- Leader Underwood, as a result of long hours of hard work on the tariff in the Ways and Means Committee, put many a Democrat in a nervous state of mind. There developed suddenly a full appreciation of the worth of the Ala- Congressman as a leader. For Mr. Underwood to become disabled or to be removed from the scene of his usefulness at this critical time would be like pulling a corner post out from under a platform on which was heaped most of the political treasures of the party. Democrats quite generally are willing to admit. Credit for the achievements of the Democratic House bearing the stamp of constructive statesmanship is given readily to the majority leader. Due t success as a legislative ability in most tests to keep the House the fact that Civil War wounds have been I I heal because of the scarcity of public men of the type of Senator of Idaho, a Southerner is being considered North and South as presidential material.

HP PROTECTION OF PROFITS, THE INIQUITOUS POLICY OF THE REPUBLICANS FOR HALF A CENTURY The One Question Eternally Present is the Most Effective, the Most Efficient and the Fairest Way of Equalizing the Burdens of Taxation Mr. Underwood Would Have the Question Solved with the Determination to do the Right, Safe and Reasonable Thing Speech Before the New York Southern Society Dec. 1911 kaleidoscope of political issues must and will continually change with the changing conditions of our Republic, but there is one question that was with us in the beginning an. will be in the end, and that is the most effective, efficient and fairest way of equalizing the burdens of taxation that are levied by die National Government Of all the great powers were yielded lo the Federal Government States when they adopted the Constitution of our country, the one indispensable to the administration of public is the right to levy and collect taxes. Without the exercise of that power we could not maintain an and navy; we could not establish of the the government w . perform its function if the power to tax were taken away from The power to tax carries with it the power to destroy, and it is, therefore, a most dangerous governmental power as well as a most one. There is a dear and marked distinction between the position of the two political parties f America as to how power to tax should be in the inn of revenue at the custom houses . Republicans Have Always Stood for Protection. The Republican maintained the doctrine that taxes should not only he levied fol a of revenue, but also for the purpose of protect the borne manufacturer foreign competition. Of necessity protection from competition with it a guarantee of profit. In the lad Republican platform in the party was distinctly recognized when de- that they not only in favor of the protection of the difference in cost at home and abroad also a reasonable to American industries. Democratic Party for Tariff for Revenue Only. The party fat rs the policy of its the custom house by a I that i levied for revenue only, which excludes the idea g the profits. In my opinion, the dividing line between the positions of the two great parties on tins question very clear and easily ascertained in theory. Where the tariff balance the difference in H II h mi abroad, including an allowance for the in freight rates, the tariff must be competitive, and from that point downward to the lowest tariff that can be levied it will continue to be com- to a greater or leaf extent, Where competition is not interfered with levying the tax above the highest competitive point, the profits of the manufacturer are not protected. On the other hand, when the duties levied at the custom house equalizes the difference in cost at home and abroad and in addition thereto they are high enough to allow the American manufacturer to make a profit before his can enter the field, we have invaded the domain of tin- pi profits. Some men assert that the protection of reasonable pr. tits t the h me manufacturer should be commended instead of being condemned, but my judgment, the protection of any mu-t of necessity have a tendency to destroy competition and create monopoly, whether the profit protected i- reasonable or unreasonable. Unfairness of Protection. You should bear in mind that to establish a business in a foreign country requires a vast outlay both in time and capital. Should the foreign attempt to establish himself in this country he must advertise his goods, establish selling agencies and points of distribution before he can conduct nil After he has done so, if the home producer is protected by a law that not only equals the difference in cost at home and abroad, but also protect a or unreasonable profit, it is only for him to drop s slightly below the point that the law has fixed to protect and his competitor must retire from the country or become a bankrupt because be would then have to sell his goods at a loss and not a profit if he c to compete. The foreign competitor having retired, the home could raise his prices to any level that home com- petition would allow him and it is not probable that the foreigner who had already been driven out of the country would again return no matter how inviting the field as long as the law remained on the Statute Books that would enable his competitor to again put him out of business. Iniquity of the Protection of Profits. Thirty or forty years ago when we had numbers of small manufacturers, when there honest competition without an attempt being made to restrict trade and the home market h II more than able to consume the production of our mills and factories, the danger and the injury to the consumer of the country was tint so gnat . r apparent as it is today when the control of many great industries been concentrated in the hands of a few men or a few corporations, because domestic competition was prohibited. When we cease to have competition at home and the prohibits competition from abroad by protecting profits, is no relief for the consumer except to cry out for government n To my mind, there is no more reason or justice in the government attempting to protect the profits of the and producers of country than there would be to protect the profits of the merchant or the lawyer, the banker or the farmer, or the wages of the laboring man. In almost line of industry in the United States we have as great natural resources to develop as that of any country in the world.

WHY I AM FOR OSCAR UNDERWOOD Because he is the strongest all man in the field. Because be is old enough to have learned a deal, and yours enough to learn more; Because he Is a practical Because he lathered the Farm- Free List Bill, which was an stride toward trade, and a measure that would have been beneficial to our over-taxed people; Because he and put through Congress a drastic the infamous woolen tariff; and also a sweeping reduction in the cotton goods schedule; Because he had the manhood to defy the Birmingham Hoard of Trade, when tried to intimidate him as to tariff reduction; Because he has introduced a bill to cut the steel and iron schedule to per cent; Because he had the courage to oppose the Sherwood pension grab, the shirkers and skulkers, and deserters, and bounty-jumpers demand. Champ Clark voted the Bryan has not had the pluck to say a word against it. nor has Woodrow Because he has the sanity and the spunk to tell the people that all this talk about the initiative, referendum and recall, in national politics, is tommy-rot.

If unselfish devotion, high performance, Nation-wide breadth view, and rare qualities for leadership entitle a man sympathy and support in his the nomination of Mr. Under- wood would be a testimonial logically bestowed.

UNDERWOOD THE MAN OF THE HOUR But Mr. Underwood's rise in public favor has not been spectacular. His is not the kind of popularity that will decline. It dawned suddenly but its dawning was rather the awakening of recognition than the discovery of a new -tar. Mr, Underwood Ids ability had been there all the time, but they had not been called into action. Op- revealed the man and the leader. His leadership aid his qualities are the stuff will list. He may never be President of the Slates. He may never be given the nomination by his party, but his usefulness to the party and to the people will not be destroyed. He is hanging no hopes on the reward that may come lo hint from the party. Mr. Underwood's public record is usual for its clean brilliancy. It stands without a Haw Critics may search it through and through and Mr. Under- wood's smile would never waver. His party record is just as clear. His life is without a blemish. He is peculiarly fitted by nature and training for the leadership of men and the administration of executive He comes good stock, if means anything in this people's His education was thoroughly rounded.
