We should think a small rural

the Constitution already had not given
the court jurisdiction. To extend Jurls-
diction OF lower courts two-thirds vote

Among lawyers a feeling prevails that
Mr.. CARROTS contention will be upheld.
If it is the effect may be far-reaching. as
the Child Labor Law lacked a two
thirds favorable vote inthe Senate. That
law confers jurisdiction, not specifically
given by the Constitution, ON iowel
courts.
A point OF interest is whether the
court will declare Unconstitutional the

the law be declared unconstitutional ~
its entirety the automobile law passed
in 1907 would automatically becom

whether the section of the old law i'm
