ISSUES OUTLINED BY LA FQLLETTE (Continued From Page 1) whether the peopje shall be permitted to determine in the constitutional manner whether they will adopt or reject such proposed amendments. “Our position is that this Government belongs to the people, and we believe with Washington that they are entitled to alter or amend their Constitution so long as they conform to the requirements of Constitution in so doing. “On the economic side the differences between the Progressives and their opponents are equally clear cut. “Wq hold as fundamental the proposition that productive labor — whether it is of the hand or the brain, whether it is on the farm or in the city— is entitled to receive [ as nearly as possible the full value of the service which is performed. We also hold that the prime motive of every form of industry should be service, with just compensation for all those who contribute to its promotion. financing, management and operation. “The position of our opponents, on the other hand, as proved by their record on all economic legislation, is that the producers in in-

dustry and agriculture, shall receive the least practicable portion of the product of their toil, and that the prime purpose of industry should be the amassing of the largest possible profits for those favored few who control industry. People to Decide “Insofar as the courts are concerned, the question raised in this campaign on this subject is whether the people shall have the right to have such a constitutional amendment as we propose submitted to them for their action. If they do not desire such an amendment, then, of course, they will vote against it when it is submitted ancf that will end the matter. If they do desire such an amendment after the full public discussions which will follow its submission to the people in the manner provided by the Constitution, then clearly they are entitled to amend their Constitution in the manner proposed. “Our suggested constitutional amendment means simply this: “That whenever the court assumes to nullify an act of Congress the court shall certify its decision with the reasons for making it back to the Congress. Much as the President now certifies to Congress his reasons for vetoing an act passed by that body, thereupon Congress, in the light of the opinion of the courts, the argurrtents of counsel and with all facts and circumstances before it, would reconsider the measure and the reasons of the court for declaring it null and void, and if these reasons seem sufficient, it would be the plain duty of the Con-
gress to acquiesce in the decision of the dourt. “If, however, as shown by the cases I have mentioned, it appeared the decision of the court was based on economic or political opinions of the judges, and there was no real conflict between the .Constitution and the law in question, it would be the clear duty of the law-making branch of the Government to re-pass the measure.” True Blue Club Party More than 1,500 girl students were expected at the first party of the True Blue Club at Shortridge High School this afternoon. The club promotes school spirit for athletic contests.
