election last fall, 27-to-17. This is a country of majority rule. Don’t worry, the| taxpayers will look out for themselves. By 1940 or 1844 all of them are going to be on the Government, too, with a job, pensions or WPA—or in the poorhouse. The 17 are going to join the 27 Then the {more abundant life will be here, in which everybody owns everything, nobody owes anything no one works except where and when the Government says, whisky runs down the mountainside and everything is fine. . So, heil the New Day! Away with dull care! | Forget the taxpayer, Mr. Editor, and join us. We're going to Beulah Land!

ow. oun HOLDS JUDGES CONSTITUTE WHOLE GOVERNMENT By Frank Walton, Campbellsburg

You have heard it said that possession is | nine points of the law. However, in township, county, state and national governments, judges, from the county to the Supreme Court, constitute all of the Government. It makes no difference how many good things President Roosevelt does for us if he doesn’t get rid of the Supreme Court and county judges and settle differences in some other way. When these judges have the nerve to tell you and me, “That’s the law, but something else is the practice,” they carry on as privileged characters, leaving the people without a constitutional government. President Roosevelt will find that we cannoti tax ourselves rich or borrow ourselves into prosperity. The only sure [thing is to take the premium off |[dishonesty and idleness. Dishonesty and idleness have the world by the heels. The President should turn loose the big white elephant called the Supreme Court. Some farmers get as much as $600: to hold ricultural lands in idleness. Yel, the counties sell poor persons’ Homes to satisfy idle agricultural lands. If robbing Peter to pay Paul will bring back prosperity, step on her! Give her the gun! " ” » FACTS DEMANDED IN COURT DISPUTE By A. J. M¢Kinnon I would |like to ask Hiram Lackey the reason he claims that Senator VanNuys is guilty of not upholding the President's plan, whether right or wrong. | We need facts. We are not sending Senators to Washington to try to put over any more unconstitutional legislation, though some was put over just last week. The F fa Board Bill goes for

two mor ears, meaning that the Federal Reserve Banks can pawn their stock in the Federal Deposit Insurance fo%ned by the Government) wit the Treasury and receive 100 per cent of its value in currency “while seis 21, per cent on the bonds. t, the banks are loaded down with bonds and have no credit to loan local industry. How do you think we are going to

+get out of this depression with such | business as this?

Far more serious legislation than the Court question confronts the nation. Meanwhile, this issue takes up valuable time and costs the taxpayers plenty. If six more men are added to the Court the NRA could not be passed anyway, because all nine present, judges voted against -t. The trouble does not lie with the Court, but® with the fact that in 148 years the Court has held 67 laws unconstitutional and in four years

President Roosevelt has vetoed 214 |

bills. Now he wants to veto the Supreme Court, No one will object to Mr. Roosevelt’s move providing he goes about it the democratic way. The people will decide that, for we are in the driver’s seat and when one horse starts to stampede, we hold the lines to check him. 1 give VanNuys credit for knowing democracy and how to handle it.

8 2 ES COURT PREROGATIVE HELD UNCONSTITUTIONAL By 0. N. B,, age 75, North Manchester

The truth is that there is nothing in the Constitution that gives the Supreme Court power to declare laws passed by Congress unconstitutional. The right to do so is based on one man’s idea of what he wanted done, so that he could assert the power of the Court over Congress.

Consequently, no matter how much the people vote for-a plan of action as long as the bare majority of one on the Supreme Court exists, the people’s right to:say what they want done is of no use. The people may elect a President and Congress, expecting them to carry out their ideas, but they cannot elect the nine men who have the final verdict, and who believe in the status quo of 50 years ago, though the world has moved on and great economic changes have been taking place, demanding solutions. In other countries the people would demand a leader who would see to it that their rights be given them. If the people of our country cannot get relief from unjust conditions of life through their own form of government in an orderly way, there is danger of their resorting to a dictatorship or revolution. Shall our democracy fail or succeed? Is it to be left to a one-man majority? Are we ruled by the voice of the people or by an oligarchy? ” ”n » WRITES ABOUT THE LAW'S DELAY— By W. S. July, 1930—The Republican primary campaign is on in Nebraska. Republican regulars are determined to punish Senator George W. Norris because the Senator two years previously supported Al Smith for the presidency. They induce a grocer, named George W. Norris, of Broken Bow, Neb,

to file for the

Senate, hoping thereby to split the Norris wote and enable the regular candidate to win. . The State Supreme Court rules that Grocer Norris filed too late and that therefore his name cannot go on the ballot. September, 1930 — The Senate Campaign Expenditures Committee holds a hearing in Nebraska, at which Grocer Norris testifies first that he got no money for his abortive effort, and later admits that he was paid $550. © June, 1931—Grocer Norris is indicted by a Federal Grand Jury on a charge of perjury. December, 1935—Grocer Norris is tried, found guilty, sentenced to pav a $100 fine and serve three months in jail. November, 1936—The Circuit Court of Appeals reverses the conviction, remands the case to the lower court for a new trial. December, 1936—Government attorneys appeal to U. S. Supreme Court. February, 1937 — Supreme Court grants writ of certiorari. March, 1937—Argument is heard March 11, and on March 29 the Supreme Court reverses the appellate court and affirms the conviction by the lower court. So, at last, nearly seven years after he lied to a Senate committee, Grocer Norris will have to pay $100 and serve three months in, jail. No record is available of the thousands of dollars which all this cost the Government.

on » ” SUGGESTS TWO EASIER AMENDMENT METHODS By del Mundo Pemit me to make the following suggestion for an amendment to make the Constitution more democratic and to prevent a recurrence of the present constitutional difficulty: 1. If a resolution to amend the Constitution is passed by a majority of each house of Congress, the proposed .amendment shall be submitted to the voters of the nation in a special election, the election to take place not sooner than 30 days and not later than 60 days after the resolution is passed by Congress. If 60 per cent or-more of the votes cast in the special election favor the amendment, it shall become a part of the Constitution on the 28th day after the date of the election. Otherwise, it shall not become a part of the Constitution. The resolution re-

ferred to should not require the sig- |.

nature of the President. 2. Any State Legislature may pass a resolution, without the signature of the State’s Governor, to recommend an amendment to the Constitution. Legislatures of other states

may concur with the originating state. in recommending the amendment. If, within three years from the initiating action of the initiating state, the Legislatures of states representing 50 pér cent or more of the population of the United States shall concur with the initiating state, the secretaries of state of the various states shall inform the Secretary of State of the United States of such concuurrence. Upon receipt of this information the Secretary of State shall order a special election to submit the proposed amendment to the nation’s voters, in the anger stated above. ” o LIQUOR BLAMED FOR TRAFFIC DEATHS By P. E. Roll, Worthington

Referring to: The Times editorial on the indifference of the public to autos’ killing of 450 children a month, while becoming greatly excited about a school explosion resulting in 425 fatalities, there is but one explanation—the love of booze. The Times states that most high-

does not mention the major highway criminal. No one does. We are resignedly, contentedly liquor loving people, depending upon it for happiness, to drown our troubles, finance, our Government and give employment to millions. We have acknowledged that liquor is stronger than government, cannot be killed, confined or controlled. It matters not to a thoroughly emancipated citizenry that liquor is present in 60 per cent of the tragedies and that a drinking driver is a potential killer. The drinking pedestrian is a menace. We shall take our tragedies and like ‘em.
