THE Boston Transcript \

The Chief Justice says that the
Lever act was as broad as the
human Imagination" Needless TO
say that II is not exactly on this ac-
count that he disallows the law, tor
the Constitution fortunately does
not forbid the use Of the magma,
ton in the enactment Of laws ano
1t is a good thing that Congress IN
1917 possessed enough imaginatior
to see that It would take three years
for the Supreme Court TO strike the
Lever act down.

1t has been shown in the last few
years, that regulations are OF only
minor effect in the face OF general
disposition to evade them. Extra
ordinary conditions furnished
golden opportunity to such dealers
as chose to profit from them. one
can now expect that as the supply
of goods adjusts itself TO the de-
mand the spread between the cost TO
the consumer will become reason
able. In other words. the problems
which the, Lever act failed to solve
are to be solved-if at abby re-
turn to the normal processes OF
trade and by such pressure as the
public can exert through its power
of selective purchasing. The aoan-
donment of Federal activity in TINS
matter puts the whole question uI
to the business world. the pubic ano
the local communities. who are TO-
gether capable of handling H.

case hence he dismissed It OF that
position the supreme court aAys: In
this he was in error. Tho limit of a

constitution cannot be determined
until the court first ascertains what
is and what Is not the constitution.
Had tho trial Judge taken this first
step before contemplating the second

holds. he would have found the Re
call of Decisions" amendment, which
commanded him not to pass upon the
question. contrary to the u. S. Con-
sti;ution which commanded him to
do 10.
The opinions then say that be-
cause the clerk and reporter of the
supreme court must know what to
do with them. and the trial courts
must Know whether their operation
is to be suspended for sixty days 1t il
necessary to decide whether they are
subject to recall This. the court
says, IL alao necessary under Sec. 2
Art. 6 Of the State Con nstitution which
gives the supreme court "a general
experimenting control over all in
fcrior courts"
Tho opinions then hold tho entire
recall machinery contrary TO the Fed
eral Constitution for the following
reasons: /. Because It enables the
state to enact and maintain laws
which violate the L. 8. Constitution.
.. Because 1t enables Home Rule
cities to do the same. 3. Because
citizens mhy he tried, convicted and
punished. under unconstitutional sta
tutes. with no court provided In
which 10 make their defense. 4.That
no court can pass upon constitutional
questions, II the Recall of Deci-

reason that the jurisdiction OF the
supreme court Is fixed Ly the con-
st!tution itself and is either appellate
or original; that the supreme court
Is given no original Jurisdiction in the

matter and. AZ the trial courts can
not pass upon II. there can be no
such thing as appellate Jurisdiction.
5. Because when part OF an act Is
held void II must all fall unless the
invalid portion can be completely de-
tached and treated as independent
which cannot be done here. s. Be-
cause. In violation OF the L. 8. Con-
stitution. the amendment denies due
process Of law. In that It deprives
the accused OF court with power
to consider his defense and COM
mands the court to decide against
him. I. Because. II tho amendment
Is upheld. Sec. 20 OF the constitu-
ton must also fail and Home Rule
cities be wiped out
The gist OF both opinions Is simply
that the Z. s. Constitution is superior
to the State Constitution and that 1t
commands all state judges to so hold:
that any part of State Constitution
which is contrary 10 the u. 8. Con-
si'ution is absolutely void; that Sec.
! Of Art. VI is a violation of the u.

OF no force or effect whatsoever: and

3 IMPORTANT DECISIONS

under which he was prosecuted was
contrary to the statc constitution
Judge Hcrsey, in the district court.
dismissed the case on the ground thet
he had no power to consider the de-
tense. Tho supreme court holds 9TH
erwise. and also holds that the medic
al board act is constitutional. and rc-
verses the case Both opinions arc
written by Justice II. p. Burke. and
the decieions are unanimous save for
Chief Justice Scott, who. by reason OF
Illness, did not participate. Both cases
were taken TO tho supreme court by
the district attorney under = special
statute commanding him to do so.
The Importance OF these decisions Is
due to the fact that they wipe out the
greater part of the Recall of Deci-
sions'' amendment to the state con-
amendment prohibited all trial courts
from holding state statutes and city
charters contrary to either state or
federal constitutions. 1t further pro-
vided that II the supeme court should
SO hold such decision night be ''re-
called" or nullificd, by simply repass-
ing the statute or charter section BY
popular vote.
The United States constitution pro-
vides that 1T is the supreme law al
the land and that all state judges shall
so hold anything In their own state
constitutions or laws to the contrary
notwithstanding. In the Western I'm
ion case IL was claimed that the law
was contrary to the United States
constitution. Judge Dcnison held that
II was because the United States su-
preme court had so held. He further
ruled that, as the United states con-
stitution was the supreme law any
portion OF n state constitution con-
.rary to it was no Jaw. that when
the state constitution prohibited him
from considering the United States
constitution the state constitution was
void. Tha, position the supreme court
