    Douglas
United States Supreme Court
404 U.S. 403
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Medical Committee for Human Rights
Certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
No. 70-61 Argued: November 10, 1971 --- Decided: January 10, 1972
The Court of Appeals, overruling the contentions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), held that it had jurisdiction to review the SEC's "extremely dubious" determination not to oppose the Dow Chemical Co.'s refusal of respondent shareholder's request to include its proposal for a corporate charter amendment in Dow's proxy statement. Thereafter Dow acquiesced in the request, and at its annual meeting less than 3% of the voting stockholders supported the respondent's proposal, as a result of which the company under an SEC rule may exclude the proposal from its proxy material for a three-year period.
Held: Since it is extremely doubtful that at the end of that period respondent will resubmit the proposal and Dow will refuse it, the case is now moot. Pp. 405-407.
139 U.S. App. D.C. 226, 432 F. 2d 659, vacated and remanded.
MARSHALL, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which BURGER, C.J., and BRENNAN, STEWART, WHITE, and BLACKMUN, JJ., joined. DOUGLAS, J., filed a dissenting opinion, post, p. 407. POWELL and REHNQUIST, JJ., took no part in the consideration or decision of the case.

# Songs of Love and Rebellion/Us, the hoboes

US, THE HOBOES
We shall laugh to scorn your power that now holds the world in awe, We shall trample on your customs and shall spit upon your law; We shall come up from life's desert to your burdened banquet hall, We shall turn your wine to wormwood, your honey into gall.
We shall go where wail the children, where, from your race-killing mills, Flows a bloody stream of profit to your cursed, insatiate tills; We shall tear from your drivers, in our shamed and angered pride, With the fury and the fierceness of a fatherhood denied.
We shall set our sisters on you, those you trapt into your hells Where the mother instinct's stifled and no earthly beauty dwells; We shall call them from the living-death, the death in life you gave, To sing our class' triumph o'er your cruel system's grave.
We shall strip them of their epaulets, the panderers who fight Your wars against the workers for a bone on which to bite; We shall batter down your prisons, we shall see your chain-gangs free, We shall drive you from the mountainside, the valley, plain and sea.
We shall hunt around the fences where your ox-men sweat and gape Till they stampede down your stockades in their panic to escape; We shall steal up thru the darkness, we shall prowl the wood and town, Till they waken to their power and arise and ride you down.
We shall send the message to them, on a whisper down the night, We shall cheer as warrior women drive the ox-men to the fight; We shall use your guile against you, all the cunning you have taught, All the wisdom of the serpent to attain the ending sought.
We shall come as comes the cyclone,—in the stillness we shall form— From the calm your terror fashioned we shall hurl on you the storm; We shall strike when least expected, when you deem toil's rout complete, And crush you and your hessians 'neath our brogan-shodded feet.
We shall laugh to scorn your power that now holds the world in awe, We shall trample on your customs, we shall spit upon your law, We shall outrage all your temples, we shall blaspheme all your gods,— We shall turn the old world over as the plowman turns the clods!
# Songs of Love and Rebellion/Unanswered

UNANSWERED
Unanswered is the message that my soul sent out to you, And o'er the sea of silence comes no white ship into view; Alone upon the mountains, on the barren rocks I stand, The flowers dead around me, and the ashes in my hand.
'Twas sweet to dream you higher than all else of mortal birth, With childlike faith to place you over all things on this earth ; To crown you and to wreath you with a pure and perfect trust, To love you with a passion that was never stained with lust.
And sweet it was to hold you, to believe with all my heart That you were at the sources of my life-work and my art; But time has taught me better, and I face the dark, alone, Unfearing, unbelieving, and my journey's end unknown.
I only know the message that my soul sent out to sea Will never cross the silence and come back again to me; That all the dreams and visions that my soul has dreamed of you Will fade and die like roses when they miss the sun and dew.
# Songs of Love and Rebellion/Why I am a revolutionist

WHY I AM A REVOLUTIONIST.
I have heard the child-slaves weeping when the world was fair and bright, Heard them begging, begging for the playgrounds and the light! I have seen the statesmen holding all save truth a vested right, And the priest and preacher fighting in the legions of the night.
I have seen the queens of fashion in their jeweled pride arrayed, Ruby-crowned and splendid—rubies of a baby's life-blood made, Richer than the gems of nature, of a stranger, deeper shade, On their snow-white bosoms quivered as the dames of fashion prayed.
Then I went into the dungeons where the brute men cringe and crawl— Men to every high thought blinded—men no longer men at all— And my eyes looked upward to the men whom we "successful" call, And the sign was in their foreheads and their thrones about to fall.
And I've seen my father lying on his death-bed like a beast, In his poverty forsaken, he a Southron soldier-priest; Seen his broken body tremble as the pulse of living ceast, And his soul go outward, moaning, as the red sun lit the East.
And I've seen my little mother on her death bed weep and moan, For the babies she was leaving in the great world all alone; Heard her loving spirit crying, seeking something to atone— How she feared the god of hunger!—how she feared the heart of stone!
And you talk to me "religion," and "rebellion" you "deplore," You whose souls have never anguished at the death watch of the poor! You who rape the starving millions and yet grasp for more and more, Raimenting in rags our mother, raimenting in silks your whore?
In these wild and frightful moments, I have felt my reason reel, Felt an impulse like the tiger's over all my being steal; Fe!t it would not be a murder if my hand the blow could deal, That would brand upon your temple the death angel's mark and seal.
Then I heard a voice crying, "Workers of the world, unite!" And the vanguard of the Marxians broke upon my hopeless sight, Serried ranks of Rebels marching 'neath the crimson flag of right, To call our class to action, to arouse it to its might.
Thoughts of murder vanished from me and demon ceased to reign, For the scheme of life unraveled and the universe seemed sane; And I took my place beside them, here upon Truth's battle plain, And I stand beside them fighting till the world we lose or gain.
# Songs of Love and Rebellion/You want to be a poet, child?

YOU WANT TO BE A POET, CHILD?
To take your pen and write Of fairies in the wonderlands And goblins in the night?
To comrade with the bee And steal the sweets of honied plants That grow by land and sea?
To wander with the light Along the paths of morning, Or adown the vales of night?
To understand the words, The strange, mysterious language Of the freeborn forest birds?
To hear the heart of things, The music of the waters And the rustle of the wings?
With wistful eyes to gaze Across the sea of sadness On the lands of other days?
To stand out in the dark Alone upon the mountains Where the wolves of failure bark?
To see the light of love Fade slowly from the world around And vanish from above?
To watch the ghostly wraith That springs up from the ashes Of your perished hope and faith?
Ah! let your heart be strong If you would be a poet, child— The singer of a song!

A Salamander
By Frank E. Channon.
In one of these little mud-constructed forts, a small party of French soldiers, under the command of a corporal, were busily engaged in returning the fire of the enemy.
The corporal, a tall, gaunt young fellow of twenty, was directing the work of his men. Often he leaped to the ramparts to note what effect the fire of his guns was producing.
“Truly,” said one of the soldiers, as the corporal jumped back among them, thou art a veritable salamander, for thou canst stand fire.”
“Who is a salamander?” inquired a gruff voice from the rear of the smoke-filled battery.
“The soldiers turned and saw standing there a small, pale-faced man, in a general’s uniform.
One of the men pointed toward the corporal,
“It is he, general,” he replied.
“A salamander! We will see!” reiterated the officer, as he ran his eye over the corporal, “Can you write?” he inquired.
“Yes, my general.”
“Follow me, then.” Out into the shot-swept open the two passed, walking side by side.
“You seem,” remarked the general, pleasantly, “to be at least a foot taller than I. Kindly walk on this side,” and he indicated the side nearest to the enemy, “It will be a great protection to me.”
Without a word the corporal took the place.
Just at that moment a shell burst directly over their heads, but did them no harm.
The officer cast a quick glance at his companion. He was not in the least flurried. He did not even quicken his pace.
Presently they reached and entered a battery which was the nearest of all to the Austrian lines, It was filled with dead and wounded soldiers. Only one gun remained standing.
Calmly seating himself on a broken gun-carriage, the general gave the corporal paper and quill and ink, and commanded him to write as he began to dictate a letter.
The corporal’s hand did not shake. He wrote almost as rapidly as the general spoke.
Suddenly, just as the letter was finished, there was a deafening report, and a huge cannon-ball passed close above them and buried itself with a dull thud in the earth beyond. The wind caused by its passage overturned the two, and dust and dirt completely covered them.
The general picked himself up in an instant. Calmly leaping upon the ramparts, the corporal waved the finished letter defiantly toward the Austrian lines.
“Thanks, my friends,” he shouted. “You have saved me the trouble of blotting it.”
A look of genuine admiration crept into the eyes of the general.
“What is your name?” he asked harshly.
“Corporal Junot of the Ninth Foot, general.”
“Say rather ‘Captain Junot,’ for I cannot afford to let such fellows as you remain corporals”; and General Bonaparte—for it was he—clapped the young man on the shoulder.
Eight years later Marshal Junot was decorated with the grand cross of the Legion of Honor by the Emperor Napoleon.

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
375 U.S. 837
Southern Railway Company v. Jackson
Denied.
Mr. Justice BLACK and Mr. Justice DOUGLAS dissenting:
Respondent Jackson brought a diversity action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia claiming damages from the railroad for personal injuries. The trial judge charged the jury under the applicable Georgia comparative negligence statute that if the plaintiff had been himself negligent, though less so than the defendant, his recovery 'would be reduced in proportion to the amount of default attributable to him.' The jury returned a verdict of $2,500 although there had been m dical expenses of $1,300, evidence of lost earnings of $12,000, and other damage alleged up to a total of $100,000. Claiming that the instruction on comparative negligence was improper and accounted for the 'grossly inadequate' award, plaintiff moved for a new trial. The District Court denied the motion but the Court of Appeals reversed, holding that under either a federal or a state standard the evidence failed to show any negligence of the plaintiff. In our judgment this reversal denied the railroad its right to a trial of the question by the jury in the United States District Court as guaranteed by the Seventh Amendment to the Constitution. See Simler v. Conner, 372 U.S. 221, 83 S.Ct. 609, 9 L.Ed.2d 691. Because of the importance of preserving this constitutional right we would grant certiorari and affirm the District Court's ruling on this issue.

Standard Oil Company v. New Jersey
Argued: March 5, 1951. --- Decided: May 28, 1951
Mr. Justice DOUGLAS, with whom Mr. Justice BLACK concurs, dissenting.
There are several states with possible claims to the escheat of intangibles. The state of incorporation of the obligor; the state where the last known owner was domiciled (see Connecticut Mut. Life Ins. Co. v. Moore, 333 U.S. 541, 68 S.Ct. 682, 92 L.Ed. 863); the state where later on the true residence of the owner was proved to be; the state of his last known domicile; the state where the obligor has its main place of business; in case of insurance or trust property, the state of residence (or domicile) of the beneficiary. There may be still other states with claims of an equal or greater dignity to these. In this case we have heard from only one-the state of incorporation.
I think any of several states, including the state of incorporation, might constitutionally enact a custodial statute under which it undertook to hold the escheated intangibles pending determination by this Court of the claims of competing states. New Jersey has not done that. New Jersey undertakes to appropriate to her exclusive use (after a short statute of limitations has run) this vast amount of wealth. Hence, I dissent.
