In his inaugural address, de

spoke of using new materials of
social justice to “erect on the old
foundations, a more enduring
structure for the use of future
generations.”
A few moments before he made
his address, he had taken the
presidential oath again from
Chief Justice Charles Evans
Hughes, with the other justices
of the Supreme Court among
among his hearers.
President Roosevelt spoke on
ce more of the Constitution but'
said nothing about the courts.
This year, he recalled, marks
the 150th anniversary of that
fundamental charter of our fore
fathers which found its way out
of chaos after the Revolutionary
War, which freed the American
colonies from Great Britain.
“They created a strong govern

to solve problems utterly beyond
individual or local solution, in
order to promote the general wel
fare, secure the bessings of Lib

day we invoke those same powers
to achieve the same objectives”,
said Roosevelt,in words which
may go down in history.

by Senator Henry Roden to bring
the Territory under the Federal
Social Security Act, was introduc

to create an industrial accident
commission to handle industrial
claims for workmen’s compensa
tion.
A bill was introduced by Ed

raising the monthly payment to
$45 monthly and providing twen
