U, S. SUPREME COURT
MAY UNDERGO CHANGE
Heavy Increase In Business Ne
cessitates New Form of
Judicial Procedure

With the advent OF 80 much new
blood In the supreme court of the
United States Il 10 probable that re-
markable changes in the procedure
OF that body will come about There
has been a demand throughout the
country for the expedition OF business
through this highest tribunal of the
land. With the growth and expan-
sion that has taken place In the Uni
ted States in 20 years. there has been
a corresponding increase in litigation
coming UP to the supreme court. The
methods OF procedure that once met
all OF the demands OF the legal world,
have been overwhelmed by the pres
sure OF new business. There are
cases on record where the printing OF
the evidence alone has exceeded in cost
the value OF large farm. The court,
as II Is now constituted, will probably
so simplify the handling OF legal bust
ness that the difficulties OF the past
will largely be overcome.
The story Of the supreme court Is
one OF the most interesting in the
history of the federal government. AS
told In the new book, The American
Government" by Frederic j: Haskin'
II is entertaining, and. at the same
time, presents a wealth OF just the
sort OF information every american
wishes to know about the supreme
tribunal of the land. This book Is
being handled by The Times at the
mere cost Of production and, hand
ling. because It is a work that VIII
help every person in this city to a
better knowledge OF his government
and consequently to better citizen
ship.

AMERICAN marble is protected
against the pauper marble of Italy
by a tariff of 65 cents per cubic
foot. This is a tariff that is fully
absorbed, not by the manufacture
ers, but by the quarry owners.
They have a selling combination,
which fixes the price at a round
$3.50 a cubic foot, which is about
twice whatit costs to get the stone
out of the quarry. The marble
schedule in the present law is
unique in that the only reduction
made in it was upon the finished
or partly finished product, while
the old protection for the raw ma
rerial was maintained. The pre-
sumptive object of a tariff is to
protect the manufacturer from the
competition of foreign manufac-
turers. If the tariff on raw ma
terial is lowered or abolished the
result inevitably is to stimulate
the manufacture of that raw ma
terial, since the supply is greatly
increased and the price lowered,
creating, in turn, a greater de-
mand. In remodeling the marble
tariff the influence of big quarry
owners was sufficient to prevent
any change in the tariff on the
raw MARBLE Commoner.

OVER in Pennsylvania-th e
d-dest rotten borough in this
Union-they r talking about
'slicensing" journalists, after the
manner of doctors and lawyers
and BARRIERS, too, by the way.
The Pennsylvania State Editorial
notwithstanding of it!-has de-
cided that a State Board shall be
enacted to pass upon the qualih-
cations of newspaper folk, SO that
"incompetents" may be barred.
According to the Chicago Public,
this Association "goes 30 far as
to draft a bill, for introduction al
the next session of the ,Pennsyl-
vania Legislature, to provide fol-
the creation of such a State de-
partment of journalism. To make
their measure more nearly perfect
in absurdity, it should provide fol
the licensing Of writing Of letters
to the editor and possibly also
for requiring newspaper subscribe
ers to take out licenses. Perhaps,
however, the Pennsylvania licens-
Ing plan 10 neither as absurd mol
as innocent as 1t seems on the

cal crooks behind II. The licens.
