The issue presented in these briei
( articles may be summarized as FOL
lows
Congress. elected BY the people, re
sponsible directly TO THEM and charg-
ed with the law-making power is not
the actual legislative body Of the ma
tion.
The supreme court appointed for
I life. not responsible to the people, has
tusurped the power to amend. or repeal
acts Of congress by judicial consruc-
tion and 50 has become the real law
making body
The people have no assured forum
through which they can get done what
they want done. The supreme court
fconstrues the constitution to suit ie-
self and the amend process is so diff
cult that the constitution cannot be
changed except by practically unani-
nous consent
But congress can control the supreme
court through its power to regulate
the appellate jurisdiction" OF that
court and can control the inferior fed
eral courts which are established by
law.
The practical concrete issue is
SHALL CONGRESS CONTINUE TO

Something About Fish.

Did il ever occur 10 you that there
might be a reason for fish being dark
on the back and light underneath 2
When we look into the water, it seems
50 very dark, and we can scarcely dis
tinguish any fish, although they may
be very near the surface. And an en-
envy, looking from below. could easily
see .,.e fish If 1t were not for the fact
tlial the lower part Of the body is
light color. Thus we find that the dark
back protects the fish from the enemy
above the water, and the light on ihe
underside Of the body protects it from
The enemy living far down in the wa
ters beneath.

New Laws Are Needed.


1t has been convincingly shown by
experience. | think. that the present
Everglades drainage laws are not
properly devised to fit the needs Of the
project. The success of a law, like
that of machine, depends upon the
manner iii which it works. and the
present drainage laws do not work
well. The sensible thing to do is to
change the laws.
1t has been demonstrated very
clearly that the mail order plan OF
doing business will not work when
applied to the biggest reclamation
project in the world. as the Ever
gladeS is. 1t Is unreasonable to ex-
pect that a governor and his cabinet,
compelled TO spend most of their time
at the state capitol. nearly 500 miles
away, and burdened with responsible
ity for multiplicity of other public
affairs. can possibly keep i'll close
touch with Everglades work. or be
familiar with its many peculiar prob
lens and needs. We want sen
arate board or commission, with
headquarters located adjacent to the
work itself. to have full charge of
Everglades drainage, with authority to
do whatever is necessary TO success
fully drain the lands and make them
ready for settlement
Such a commission should have au-
- I, IL IL
available to do the work They should
have full authority TO issue bonds as
needed and to sell them under such
conditions that they will find ready
market at a good pricC-thcse bonds
to be supported by the lands given bv
the United States government in trust
for drainage purposes exclusively.
They should have authority to assess
drainage taxes on such lands as are
getting benefits from the drainage
operations at such times and in such
a way as will require every acre to
pay its fair share Of drainage costs
without entailing hardship or Injustice
upon anybody.
Reclamation Will Benefit Entire State.
Reclamation of the Everglades
means opening q new empire to set
Element. It means prosperity for
every city and town in the southern
part of the state. II means lower
taxes for all the people of all the
state. 1t means new railroads. steam
ship lines. interurbanS and good roads
penetrating in every direction through
one of the richest farming sections
in the world, and binding together
closely the east and west csasts in a
common interest. 1t means the build
ing of big, busy cities where there
are now little towns. and new indus
tries and enterprises and general
prosperity for all Of South Florida
that will bring growth. larger popu-
lation and higher values and taxables
10 every community which constitutes
an inlet TO or outlet from this rich
country.
The reclamation of the Everglades
Is too big and important and too
fraughr with consequence to every
part OF the state for sectional
or local preindices or jealousies to
be allowed 20 have any part in its
consideration. Train the Everglades
and there will he such general pros-
perity result therefrom that every
