LAW UNCHANGED : FOR ONE YEAR Highway Law Will Not Become Operative l’nlil 1938 | The new law under which the ' state hlghwuy commission takes ! over the maintenance and construction of streets in all eities I and towns over which establlsh- | ed state roads pass, does not be-; I come effective until 1938. Thursday when £arl Crawford.' I state highway chairman, was in ; I Decatur, he informed city officials I and others about the law. There | will not lie any change in the pres--1 ent law during 1937. The state does not take the 'streets until final determination has been made of established ; routes and in this city it might ' be a year or two until the routing I of roads 27 and 224 is definitely .' decided. The city lias appropriated $2900 for material for street repair litis year. SUPREME COURT (CONTINUED FROM FAOE ONE) cause “a large proportion of the eases we hear are important and a decision by a part of the court I would be unsatisfactory." He called attention to the consti- ! tutional provision that the judicial 1 power shall be vested in "one" Su-1 I preme Court. i In presenting the Hughes letter, - Wheeler suggestd that the (proper ; way for the President toachieve his i i aims was to substitute for the judt- 1 l clary proposal a plan for a const!-j • tutional amendment. "The achieve his ends," • said YVheeler in response to a ques- j - tion by Sen. William E. Borah. R., . Oda., “is by constitutional amendi rnent " | Wheeler declaring that he spoke ! for the “vast majority” of foes of I the President's plan, said the opposition would support "any reasons able constitutional amendment” as a j compromise. IHe forecast quick passage of such ■ an amendment if supported by the t President and declared that Mr. ■ Roosevelt, himself, had he been on . the supreme court at the timek r would have ruled the NRA and AAA I unconstitutional. Hughes said he had not ab,e s to determine positively that Ills - latter represented the views of all - members of the high tribunal but > he named specifically associate justices Van Devanter and Brandeis as

(approving his statement of the j court's position. I Tlie statement y the chief justice was Hie first formal common' from the court on the v-idely-dis-puted reorganization plan proposed by President Roosevelt. Associate Justice James C. Mi Reynolds in un informal address delivered before a college fraternity last week made indirect ref-rence to the President's proiiosal and indicated his I lack of sympathy so rthe program. For the most part, Hughes letter was an explanation of the court's work, its docket and its routine—A statement confiding squarely with ! the agrumeni of some administrai tion leaders that the court is unable 1 to keep up with his work. "The supreme court is fully a- : breast of its work,” the chief justice i i wrote to Wheeler. "This gratifying | ' condition has obtained for several ! years. We have been able for sev- \ eral terms to adjourn after disposing of all races which are ready to be heard." Hughes letter pointed out that the supreme court “docket is classified as original and appellate " “Our original jurisdiction." he said, is defined by the constitution and embraces cases to which states are parties. There are not many of these. At the presnt tint thy numbr thirteen and are in various stages of progress to submission for determination. "Our appellate jurisdiction covers those cases in which appeal is allowed liy statute as a matter of right and cases which come up to us on writs of certiorari ” IHe presented a comparative state- | ment of the cases on the dockets for the six terms preceding the current term.
