Senator Jones asks the legislature to
submit a constitutional amendment
providing for the recall of judicial de-
cisions by a referendum vote His
particular form of recall, 1t is but fair
to state, is comparatively moderate;
much wilder and more extreme recall
schemes have been advocated by su-
perf1cial reformers-in-a-hurry. But
even the Jones plan is gratuitous,
foolish and dangerous. Incidentally it
should be observed that the senator
misapprehends and mistakes the prac-
tice Of Great Britain and Of Germany.
The alleged presidents have no exis-
tence. Neither in Britain nor In Ger
many have the courts the general pow
er OF annulling legislation on consti-
tutional grounds. and in neither coun.
try is there a referendum on legisla,
ton. Senator Jones mind is evident
ly confused by the British anti-lords
veto act.
We need no sort Of judicial recall

Yes, this is the smallest thing he

He has learned to look upon his pen

He has acquired the habit of saving,
which grows infinitely faster even
than money at compound interest.
The chances are that within a year
