SPOONER OPENS WA
ON BAILE AMENDMEN
SEES DANGER IN
BATE BILL CLAUSE
Badger Senator Attacks Attempt
to Curtail Court's
Jurisdiction.
Says Amendment Would Destroy
Rate-Fixing Provision of
Measure.
Washington, April 26.A stack of
sheep-bound books which covered all the
vacant space in the vicini ty of Mr.
Spooner's desk, bore the visible evi
dence at the beginni ng of the session
of the intention of the Wisconsin sena
tor to make good his promise to reply
today to Mr. Bailey's speech on the
railroad rate bill. Mr. Spooner was
among the first to make his appearance
in the senate chamber, but he was hot
able to begin his speech until more or
less other business had been transacted.
The first business of importance was
the passage of the bill introduced by
Mr. Flint appropriating $300,000 for the
employment of extra labor at the Mare
Island navy yard, near San Francisco.
Mr. Perkins reported the. bill from the
committee on naval affairs without
amendment and it passed without de
bate.
Might Kill Bill.
Mr. Spooner began speaking at 12:30
o'clock announcing his purpose of de
voting himself largely to Mr. Bailey's
amendment preventing inferior courts
from restraining the orders of the in
terstate commerce commission.
"The question is a grave one," he
said. "If adopted it will almost de
stroy the rate-fixing provision of this
bill."
went on to say that the proposi
tion was the most important question
that had been presented to the senate
in reeent yearsfar greater than even
the rate-fixing question itseif. quot
ed Mr. Bailey's declaration that "the
power to create involves the power to
destroy," and said that when applied
to the courts this axiom was full of
danger.
Power of Congress.
be extended to the judicial power of a
court In a given case.
then entered upon an effort to
draw the line of distinction betwe en
jurisdiction and judicial power and said
that
Mr. Bailey's necessities must have
been responsible for his sneers at this
distinction.
The difference, he declared, had been
understood by the framers of the con
stitution and by the text-writers since
Gladstone, and had been outlined by
many court decisions.
"To me it is plainly written in the
constitution and no sophistry can con
fuse it," he said.
