Yes. in the enforcement of the purefood law. the gentleman says. they shall cooperate with State officers. Now. we have a naturalization law in which we require certain State officers to perform certain official functions. and it is a serious problem among lawyers as to whether the Federal Government would be authorized to prosecute a State officer. and thereby embarrass to that extent State administration. while he is discharging the Federal functions. for a failure to perform that duty as the law required. It seems to me that the objection from a legal standpoint and from the standpoint of the science of government made by the gentleman from Minnesota is tenable. We are to have public officers discharging very important duties under two distinct and independent governments.
