Milwaukee Leader. edited by Victor Berger the So

a typical extract:
That the law is unconstitutional We have
slightest doubt. The argument OF
Hannis Taylor, which we published last
summer. is incontrovertible. In fact the court
does not make any attempt to controvert it,
The opinion just lists the various objections
that made to the law and states that
they have merit in them It does read
like calm and reasoned legal opinion at all.
BY reading it, bystander would naturally
reach the conclusion that the court had de-
termined to hold the law valid regardless Of
the constitution. and feeling unable 10
the arguments avoided them by saying they
had no merit"

If Milwaukee is probably the only community in
America-if Milwaukee is still in America-enjoying
such distinction. Something like 100000 other

However. the supreme court judges have been over
