the Constitution won’t give it cer-
tain powers:
1. Neither congress nor any-
body else can suspend the writ of
habeas corpus (unless the public
safety demands it during rebel-
lion or invasion.) All officers
or others must obey a court and
bring in anyone in their custody
to see whether he is held lawful-
ly-
2. Congress cannot pass “bills of
attainder”, special acts to punish
someone. Congress cannot by-
pass the courts.
Other - inabilities
3. Congress cannot pass an ex
post facto law—a law which makes
an act a crime which was not one
when done, or which punishes the
offender more than called for
when done.
4. Congress cannot tax exports
from any state nor by regulation
favor one state’s ports over an-
other’s, nor make one state’s ves-
sels clear or pay duties to an-
other state in order to enter.
Besides these denials from with-
in, the Constitution curbs con-
gress and the executive and judi-
ciary in the amendments, especial-
ly the first ten.
Among other things, congress
cannot make a law respecting an
establishment of religion or pro-
hibiting its free exercises, or
abridging the freedom of speech,
of the press or the right of the
people peaceably to assembly and
to petition the government for a
redress of grievances.
Courts also curbed
The Constitution .also curbs the
courts (for example, they cannot
deny a person a fair hearing duly
represented by counsel. It curbs
the executive (he cannot, for ex-
ample, take private property for
public use without just compen-
sation.)
The Constitution, which divides
the work of the three branches
of government, winds up by tell-
ing where the rest of the power
rests—just incase anybody gets
any fancy ideas of dictatorship.

have been spent in the fourth
quarter of the year in the first,
second, and third quarters.
Actually what happened is that
the postmaster general has refused
to follow the law and has taken
all of the authority in his own
hands. Many
gress including
congress should
determine what
the postoffice department or any
other department of the govern-
ment for that matter should be
and that the level of spending
should not be controlled by the
head of the department.
So the basic question involved is
whether or not the postmaster
general can get by with the idea
of flaunting the authority of
congress. Everything indicates
now that this dispute probably
will be settled this week, and it
is hoped that mail service will be
restored to normal within the next
week or ten days.
Of Congress
By Congressman Frank Heard
There can be little question
now but what as far as the house
of representatives is concerned
that the present budget will be
very substantially reduced. So
far in the consideration of the ap-
propriation bills that have come
before the house, the cuts that
have been made amount to well
above a billion dollars. Yet to
* be considered are such controver-
sial appropriations as foreign aid
and defense.
The defense appropriation is by
far the largest appropriation bill
4t that will be considered. It is now
an accepted fact that the foreign
aid appropriation will be substan-
5 tially reduced and that there will
> be real reductions made in the
defense department’s request for
# money. Whatever reductions are
made in the budget requests of the
president should unquestionably
be passed on to the people in
the form of tax relief.
The controversy that has de-
veloped between the congress and
the postmaster general over the
deficiency appropriations for the
operations of the postoffice de-
partment for the remainder of this
year is one of the most heated
ones that has occurred in Wash-
ington for many a year. The
real basis of the dispute probably
is not generally understood by
the public; however, this is what
it is. A good many years ago
congress passed what was known
as the anti-deficiency” law, the
effect of which was to require
the heads of the executive depart-
ments of the government to divide
the funds that were appropriated
them into four equal parts so that
the appropriations would be spent
quarterly and that the department
would not spend all of its money
in the first half of the year, and
then come back to congress and
say that they were out of money,
and unless additional money was
provided, the department would
have to close up.
This law was necessary so that
congress might have some control
over the money that any depart-
ment spent, and also, it provided
a means of forcing the department
to stay within reasonable limits
tin its expenditures. This year, ‘
“he Postoffice department has ig-
nored this law and has spent
.part of the funds that were ap- '
propriated to them which should ,
