|LAF0[[ETTE SEEKS
 CHANCE IN LAWS
Wants to Limit Power Of Lower
 Courts

Cincinnati, June 14.--Asserting that by process of gradual encroach- ments" the federal courts of the country have "wrested sovereignty from the people," Senator LaFollette, of Wisconsin, in an address today be- fcre the American Federation of La bor convention, proposed an amend ment to the constitution denying the power of lower courts to set aside a federal law as unconstitutional and providing for the notification of any such decision by the supreme court by re-enactment of the statute.
 Cites Instances.
 Citing the recent decision of the su- preme court holding unconstitutional the child labor tax law as typical of the conduct of the federal judiciary and particularly the supreme court whenever congress has sought to en- ton which was offensive to great financial interest" Senator LaFollette declared the supreme tribunal of the country was today the actual ruler of the American people"
 Charges Made.
 "rhe law is what they say it is, the Wisconsin senator continued, and not what the people through congr% enact. Even the constitution of the United States is not what it's plain terms declare, but what these nine men construe it to be, in fact. five of these 9 men are actually the supreme rulers, for by mere majority. the court has repeatedly overridden the will of the people.
 Chief Justice Taft.
 '"The nine lawyers who constitute the supreme court are placed in po- sitions of power for life, not by the votes of the people. but by presiden- tial appointment. ExPresident Taft was made chief justice by President Harding. Thus a man was invested with the enormous prestige and in- fuence of chief justice by presidential appointment who had been repudiated by the voters of the United States on his record. No one will contend that he could have been elected chief jus tice by vote of the people. And yet Chief Justice Taft wrote the opinion that annulled the child labor law; he wrote the opinion in the Coronado Coal company case. In making this observation, 1 level no criticism at the personnel of the court. l am not concerned with personalities. I am dealing with fundamentals.
 Heretofore the people of the nited States" Senator La Toilette said, have met the difficult situations created by the courts decisions on constitutional matters, by dealing with the particular question upon which the court was at variance with the popular will. We have never faced the fundamental issue of judicial usurpation squarely. The time has now come to do so. It would require a dozen constitutional amendm ents to correct the evils of the decisions which the court has handed down within the 2 or 1 years"
 ''lhc time has come when we must pu. the axo to tho root Of the mon- strou5 growth upon the body Of our go, ernrlcnt., Tine usurpal power of the federal courts laust be taken away and the federal judges must be made responsive to the popular will"

Corrects Statement That He Was Interpreter.
 Fire Commissioner John J. Rogers today explained that through a case of mistaken identity it was under stood that he is the man who was as- sociated with Thomas J. Smith as an interpreter. His statement is as fol- lows:
 New Britain, Conn, June IS, 1922. New BrAain Herald,
 City.
 Dear Editor:--
 This evenings edition of the Her aid carried an article, stating that I was formerly employed by Registrar of Voters Thomas J. Smith. For your information, and for the purpose of clearing Mir. Smith of any undue criticism in the matter, I wish to state that I was never employed by MT. Smith at any time, in any ca pacity. and am not even personally acquainted with him.
 No doubt you have confused me with one Mr. Rogers who was former employed by the city in the employ nlent bureau.
 Yours very truly,
 JOHN J. ROGERS,

behind a big tree. They didn't know
what to make of a thing that moved
that way. They were very. very sus-
picious.
For long time they watched. but
nothing happened. The door swung
back and forth a little, hut it seemed
harmless. Now that tho door was
open the delicious smell that had
brought them over there in the first
place was stronger than ever. Boxer
cautiously moved toward the sugar
house. The door swung a little in
the wind and Boxer scampered back
behind tree as fast as he could 60
Pretty soon he tried it again. This
time he almost reached the sugar
house before that door moved. Then

said he, most decidedly. II don't
believe that thing is anything to be
afraid of after all: 1t is nothing but

Again Boxer cautiously approached
the door. This time the Merry Little

didn't move. He reached out and
touched it. When he touched it it
moved and he jumped back. Then he
tried 1T again. OF course, the same
thing happened. After trying it three
or four times, Boxer made up his
mind that it was he himself that
made the door move and SO there was
nothing to be afraid of.
Very, very carefully he approached
the doorway and pokeA an inQdisi-
tive little nose inside, His nose told
him right away that inside there was
the thing he had been seeking. Sus-
piciouSly he stared all about inside
the sugar house. He caught a
glimpse of Trader the Wood Rat dis
appearing behind a pile of wood.
That settled everything in Boxers
mind. If Trader was not afraid to
be in there, there was no reason why
he should be afraid. That sugar
house was. only a kind of a cave
after all. Once more he shifted long
and hard. Then he boldly walked
inside.
All this time Woof Woof had been
watching from behind a tree. She
admired Boxer for his boldness. 1t
seemed to her that he was very, very
brave. When she saw him disappear
inside she actually held her breath.
