been placed therein was a bottle of
whisky, and onlookers at the opening
of the cornerstone may have had

seem reasonable "that Congress would
have power to legislate concerning
the industry at the beginning of the
movement that was to continue un-
interrupted until ultimate delivery to
a consumer, or producer."
The facts show that the various
states are now unable to regulate in-
dustries by legislation, the court said.
Moreover the idea that output of na
tional ly distributed products “can be
effectively controlled by the states to
both constitutionaty and ecomomica-

"The Constitution," said Judge
Hamilton, "was ordained among other
purposes to promote the general wel-
fare. and one of the methods for so
doing was to regulate commerce with
foreign nations and among the sev-
eral states, and with the Indian tribes,
and in order to make certain that this
would be done (the Constitution) em-
powered the Congress to make all
laws which should be necessary and
proper for carrying into execution the
power specifically conferred.
“The people of the states intended
to surrender all the rights they had
to promote the general welfare that
could not be done by the states acting
independently.”
Jpdge Hamilton further stated that
if in its consideration of the general
welfare Congress finds that "state ac-
tion is impotent to remedy existing
evils is an industry over which C on-
gress hag regulatory powers, then
"Federal action is imperative if pub-
Me necessities demamd."
States Unable to Regulate Industry
Applying this rule to the Guffey
Act and the bituminous industry, he
said:
The facts, as heretofore shown,
clearly prove that the states, acting
alone are unable to rehabilitate the
bituminous coal mining industry as it
affects the people generally. The

distribution"' and cited cases holding

National Control Is Essential
in considering the provision of the
Act which provides for a tax on the
output of mines which do not obey its
provisions. Judge Hamilton said that
“it was the undoubted purpose of
Congress” in providing the tax “to use
it as a weapon to force persons within
the terms of the Act to accept its pro-
visions and thereafter afford them the
remedy of contesting the matters in
the courts."
He did not agree with the claim
that the taxing power was unconsti-
tutionally employed, and pointed out I
that "taxation has been used for many
purposes other than the raising of
revenue."
In concluding his opinion, Judge
Hamilton said:
"If we cling to the doctrine of
states' rights in the matter of com-
merce as i existed in the early days
of the Republic a palsied hand holds
the power and decay will set in in our
nation before its time.
“If commerce is to be regulated and
controlled for the public welfare in
this country, it must be by the Na-
tional Government, because the states
lack the power to make effective their
own regulations."
