RECALL OF STATE
AND FEDERAL JUDGES
BY O. M. A. DEBATING TEAM

Dunaway of Portland, Oregon, Bar
says: "The Recall as we have it in
Oregon has absolutely wiped out the
protection Of the minority and of
the individual, and changed our
republican form Of government,
which was our distinctive feature of
our representative form of govern
ment under our written constitution
as framed by our forefathers. The
courage of officials is destroyed by
this system. Oregon under the
Recall, has a system which places
the courts under heavy pressure to
decide cases according to the vote
of the plurality of the people, sup
ported by the clamor among politi-
clans and newspapers for given
decision" The San Francisco
Chronicle says "The mob which
lynches an alleged murderer is even
more likely to inhict just punish
ment than is the people that recall
judge for an unpopular decision"
OF recent date the recall was
submitted to the voters of New
Mexico and was overwhelmingly
defeated. This proves that the
proposed plan of recall has not met
the hearty approval of the people in
every state where it has been sub
mitted.
The recall would invariably act as
did ostracism as was practised in
Athens, the birthplace of constitu-
tions and democracy. "The power
it gave the people," Meyers General
History says, "was often abused,
and many Of the ablest statemen of
Athens were sent into exile through
the influence of demagogueS who
for the moment had caught the
popular ear"
One of the first steps taken in
England to secure civil liberty was
to deprive the King of the power to
recall Judge or to Withhold his
salary. That was the first step
toward an independent judiciary.
A judiciary obedient either to pop
ular demand or to king, has always
proven incompetent, cruel or corrupt.
1t is the deliberate and ,uncompro-
missing opinion of lawyers of
influence over the country that
without a free, untrammeled, inde-
pendent Judiciary, popular govern
ment, a government Of the people,
by the people and for the people,
would become a deluslon and
mockery, That is the unbroken
record from the Dicasteries of
Athens to the mimic tribunals of
Justice which are found in some of
the republics to the south.
Let us consider what the recall
really means, and what effect such
system would have upon American
life.
So long as human society endures,
questlons will constantly arise
among men which cannot be AMIGA
bly, settled between the parties, but
which must be determined by some
stationed tribunal. These questions
will be as varied as the interests of
men and will effect in every con-
ceivable way the rights of life,
liberty and property. If we are to
have an ordered liberty, and not
anarchy, these questions must be
determined by regularly established
Pocahontas star herald., 1912-05-17
ME-. RICHARDSON SAID:


Mr. Chairman, Honorable judges,
Most Worthy Opponents, Ladies
and Gentlemen:
We have met here tonight to dis
cuss a great constitutional question
which IN sense involves the right
of every American citizen, and is
therefore of greater national impor-
taDce. But before entering upon
the issues Of this debate we desire
TO extend to the Pocahontas High
School our appreciation for the op.
poriunhy of meeting here in a joint
debate, and thank them for the roy
al reception given us. We assure
the Judges that any decision they
may render at the close of this de-
bate will meet with our approval,
and should that decision be against
us. it will not lessen our esteem for
them nor for Pocahontas High
School.
Since the United States Constltu
tion provides system of impeach-
ment to be applied to Federal Judges
and that each state has the lmpeach-
ment and Legislative Recall for the
removal of State Judges and some
states have added other forms of
recall, we are to discuss the popular
recall of State and Federal Judges.
The Federal judges are all
appointed for life or, during good
behavior, by the President and con-
tirmed by the Senate. The State
Judges in some states are appointed
by the Governor and confirmed by
the State Senate, and in other states
are elected by the State Legislature,
and in some other states are elected
- by popular vote. But these judges,
who are elected by popular vote,
are elected for a four to sixteen
year term of Office, and are subject
20 removal only by impeachment
and by legislative body, with three
exceptions.
For a year or two the question OF
The recall of judges has been dis
cnssed in occasional magazine ar
ticleS and especially In the debates
in the Senate in the summer of 1911,
relstlye to the constitution of the
new state of Arizona; but the sub
iect has not attracted the serious
attention Of any considerable portion
of the public because 1t has been
regarded as measure so extreme
and radical and so contrary to the
spirit of institutions that there was
no reason to suppose that 1t would
receive sufficient recognition OF
support to make it worthy of con
nderatiOn Of the people at large.
1t Is true it has been adopted in two
or three states. But even in these
cases it has been looked upon as one
of those radical experiments in
government which are sure to be
adopted now aud then In isolated
communities under the influence of
abnormal conditions and which are
equally certain to be abandoned in
time after the community has learn
ed by bitter experience the folly of
the experiment. California, Oregon
ahd Arizona are the states which
have adopted this system and we
can show you that the system has
not been satisfactory to the people
of those states. Mr., Ralph r.

SPRING SURPRISES IN
TICKET SCALPING CASE

AS result of the investigation
by Judge Lands, of the opera
tions of the H. N. Waterfall tick
ct scalping agency, subpoenas are
being served, on the manager of
every downtown theater to ap-
pear before Master in Bankruptcy
Eastman Tuesday to explain
what part, if any, they had in the
scalping conspiracy by which the
scalpers are able to extort thou
sands of dollars from the public.
Aid. F. A. Britten has drawn
mp a resolution to be presented to
the council Monday night, call
ing upon Mayor Harrison to re-
woke the licenses of The Garrick,
Princess and Lyric theaters, con-

trolled- by the Shuberts,ebecause
of the alleged participation of
their management in the scalping
conspiracy.
Frank McVey, who has been
conducting Waterfalls business
as receiver in the interest of the
creditors, has closed shop, after
Judge Lands, before whom the
bankruptcy proceedings were
brought, ordered him to discon-
tiHue, saying it was no business
in which a self-respecting court
should engage. The court also
ordered the master in bankruptcy
to stop at nothing to get to the
bottom of the alleged conspiracy
and fix the blame for its opera
ton.
A new baseball ticket scandal
was sprung when Waterfall tes-
titled that he was able to get hum
dreds of tickets for the past sea-
son series between the Cubs and
White Sox last fall by just send
ing his messengers to the box of
fee. He scalped these tickets at
an advance, of 5 cents. Water
fall absolved the officials of the
two clubs of,any collision. in his
business.
Waterfall -swore~that he paid
the management of the Majestic
more than ST. 900 as the result of
a scalping arrangement. He said
he had agreements with the
Music Hall and the IL
linois whereby he could return
unused tickets and get new ones

Lean-against the wind, careful
~1y keeping the right foot ahead
that is important to prevent a
spill-one foot should always be
ahead of the other.
Letthe wind blow you over the
ice; when you get tired, or have
gone far enough, raise the skate
kite over your head, holding it by
the short stick with both hands.
Should you want to go back
against the wind, you must tack
from side to side as a yacht does,
leaning more heavily against the
wind than while sailing with the
air current.
Don't try to turn to the left
with the skate-kite on your right,
and vice-verSa.
Fasten skates to feet more Sc
curely than for ordinary skating.
Throw the skate-kite over your
head to stop, or when nearing
shore.
