THE UTILITY ACT.
(Los Angeles Times)
By declaring the Wheeler
-Rayburn utility holding
company act invalid in its
entirety, United States Dis
trict Judge Coleman at Bal
timore has dealt a stunning
blow to one of the new
deal’s most cherished
dreams—that of ultimate
government ownership and
control of all public utili
ties in the electric field.
The Judge said: “If the
constitution be construed to
permit what the public ut
ility act aims to accom
plish,” he said, “then fed
eral authority would em
brace practically all activi
ties of the people and the
authority of the States over
their domestic concerns
would exist only by suffer
ance of the federal govern
ment.”
The language is similar to
that of the supreme court
in its NRA decision, which
is natural since the same
principle is involved. This
is still a federal union, with
autonomy in its component
parts. It is not a bureay
cratic oligarchy with all its
power centered in Washing
ton.
Of great if less direct sig
nificance is the fact that the
reasoning applied in the
Wheeler-Rayburn case is
equally valid against most
of the remaining adminis
tration schemes yet to pass
before the courts.
BANKERS vs. NEW DEAL
The antagonism—if that’s
the correct word—between
the bankers and the pres
ent national administration
does not seem to be disap
pearing very fast.
At the American Bankers
Association Convention in
New Orleans, a Salt Lake
City banker told the dele
gates that the bankers
ought to boycott govern
ment bonds, to halt exces
sive new deal spending.
He had barely had time
to catch his breath w'hen
Jesse Jones, of the Recon
struction Finance Corpora
tion, warned the delegates
that some bankers are mill
stones about the necks of
certain railroads, and that
the railroads as a whole
cannot recover until they
