A HIT AT rrillE recent decision of the Supreme Court THE LOWER I overthrowing the minimum wage law for! COURTS X women has attracted unusual attention and j • resentment from the common people, espe- 1 daily the womeu. The question uppermost is what can we do?; Here is a lawyer’s proposal: The Supreme Court has very limited original jurisdiction. All of the cases get to it by appeal i or error proceedings. There are no constitutional courts except \ the Supreme Court. All subordinate Federal courts are created ■ by Congress and their jurisdiction prescribed by it. LET CONGRESS PASS A LAW PROVIDING THAT NO COURT CREATED BY IT SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION TO PASS UPON THE VALIDITY OF ANY LAW ENACTED BY CONGRESS. The cases in which the minimum wage and child labor laws were overthrown originated in courts created by Congress. Thus not only the power of the Supreme Court to overthrow laws would be curtailed, but another laudable object would be accomplished. Is it not unseemly that a single Federal judge should presume to overthrow the work of the elected representatives in both Senate and House from forty-eight States? Lack of respect for law is one of the commonest complaints. Who is contributing more to this than judges who overthrow laws? It has come to pass that no act of Congress needs to be respected by a corporation or individual rich enough to attack its validity in the courts. Nowadays it is common corporate practice to pay no attention to a law that they don’t like until its validity is affirmed by the court of last resort. DOBBIN ■^r"TT'T r ILL the horse finally find its place in the ASA l/l/ circus or the zoo along with other animals CURIO f y rarely seen in this section of the world? There are evidences this may eventually come to pass. One of them is the failure of the Indiana Veterinary College. The school is closing its doors because the demand for horse doctors has become so slight such an institution docs not pay. Henry Ford has declared horses on the farm arc an unnecessary nuisance and lie is helping get rid of them with his tractors. A horse show is being held at the State Fairground, where persons are paying admission to sec the animals perform much as they go to see the elephants at a circus. .Modern traffic rules do not take the horse into account. Perhaps those who can afford them will keep horses for pets after they have been supplanted completely by other means of locomotion.

Y\H\ STOP rriflE public service commission has made an inAT A I vestigation. held a hearing—and cut the gas NICKEL’.’ X bill of the average householder 10 cents or lo cents a month. The said average householder, of course, is glad it wasn’t an increase. The cut of ■> cents a thousand cubic foot will not help the situation to any considerable extent. It was made by the commission as a temporary arrangement without thorough investigation, possibly, as much to satisfy public clamor for lower rates as tor any other reason. The commission now ha.-> before it. little more information than it had when it insisted a rate of 90 cents was high enough. Why. if on the same basis, 90 cents was enough ti year ago. $1.15 is necessary now is not quite clear. In justice to the commission, it must be said that it is now in the act of making a thorough investigation of the gas companv s affairs with a view to fixing a permanent rate, it is to be hoped no effort will he spared in obtaining all possible information and in arriving at a rate justified by that information.

Forest Protection week, is in reAlity Future Business Insurance week, says Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the American Tree Association, who points out the tremendous importance to the business life of the country of having a steady flow of forest products going to our manufacturing centers. "And that flow of forest products must originate closer to the centers of manufacturing,” adds Pack in a statement for The Times on the importance of Forest Protection week. “Forest Protection week, as pro claimed by President Harding, serves to turn the attention of the people to oae of the greatest econime problems now facing our country.” says Pack. "The week might well he called Fu turn Business Insurance week, for our entire economic life depends upon forest products.
