THE USURPED POWER OF THE
SUPREME COURT

"1t is not surprising to find men
whose practice brings them before
that august bench casting up their
eyes and wringing their hands at the
sacrilege of suggestion that the
Supreme Court suffer the same limit
as Congress and the President in the
use of it's veto power.
"But since this was established as a
government of three coordinate
branches, and the assumed powers of
a bare majority of the Supreme
Court have long since transcended
coordinate authority, the contrary
opinion of practitioners before the
court will not suffice to dismiss the
suggestion. The Constitution divides
the government, like Gaul, into three
parts, but the practices of the Su-
preme Court have gradually overrid-
den two of them.
perhaps there would be less feel
ing that five members should not be
allowed to overturn the reasoning of
four and the acts of Congress had it
not been for the famous wobble on
the income tax law.
Between two hearings of this
case a justice changed his de-
cision, and by vote of five to
four the court reversed the tenor
of it's tax holdings for 80 years.
Justice Harlan, of the minority,
called the prevailing opinion "a dis
aster to the country; Justice Brown
referred to it as the surrender of the
taxing power to the moneyed class.
"The prestige impaired by fve-to-
four decisions has never been fully
regained, and there are strong rea-
sons why proposals to modify the
veto power of a bare majority should
be considered, not virtuously spurned
in the frenzy of fine phrases, by bar,
bench and people.
"If the President vetoes an act of
Congress, it may repass the bill over
his veto by a two-thirds majority.
But five to four is enough majority
to sustain the veto of the Supreme
Court.
"The agitation for limitation upon
the power of five judges of the Su-
preme Court to enjoy and exercise
more authority than the President
and Congress together is not, as Mr..
Davis exclaims in stately phrase, IAN
attack on our theory of government
and the written Constitution, 1t is
a legitimate discussion, which can not
be quieted, of proposals to restore the
even operation of our theory of gov
ernment and the tripartite powers of
the Constitution"
The court has been able to get
away with it's usurpation because the
average citizen does not take the
time to read the Constitution, and the
average citizen governs the country.
He has taken it for granted that
somewhere in the organic law of the
land there is provision clothing the
Supreme Court with authority to veto
acts of Congress. When the average
citizen is made to understand that
there is no such authority in the Con-
stitution he will begin to do some tall
thinking. After that an effective curb
of the Supreme Court will be only a
question of time.

BLESSING IN DISGUISE

The declaration by Juliet that ga
rose by any other name is just as
sweet" was brought to the mind of
the "Hired Man" the other day when
he read of Piqua chap named S. A.
Blessing, who by the way happens to
be a preacher and also an active in
spector and agent for the Anti-Saloon
League. who had been indicted by the
grand jury of Miami county for extor-
ton in Furnishing violators OF the
LIQUOR laws and forced to disgorge
nearly $500 which he had illegally

John w. Davis, at one time our am
bassador to the Court of st. James
and now the private attorney of the
"House of Morgan" is opposed to any
attempt to deprive the Supreme Court
of the power to declare acts of Con
gress unconstitutional.
Mr.. Davis journeyed all the way
from New York to Minneapolis ir
order that he might present his views
to the members of the American Ban
Association.
To curb the court, according to Mr.
Davis, would be "an attack on our the
ory of government and the writer
Constitution
Mr.. Davis did not tell his hearers
that the Constitution does not give
the Supreme Court the right to de-
clare acts of Congress unconstitutional
Neither did he tell them that on foul
different occasions in the convention
which framed the Constitution, pro-
posal comforting this extraordinary
power On the court was voted down
by impressive majorities.
Presumably it was not necessary fol
Mr.. Davis to enlighten his hearers on
this interesting point, because they
were all lawyers and every lawyer has
read the Constitution of his country
and some of them, at least, have reao
the debates in the constitutional con-
vention.
In view of the fact that the consti-
tutional convention refused to give the
Supreme Court the right to declare
acts of Congress unconstitutional, it is
difficult to understand how propose
to strip the court of this usurpec
power can be construed as "an attack
on our theory of government and the
written Constitution"
A few years ago every daily news
paper in the country would have sup
ported Mr.. Davis position. 1t is
highly significant, therefore, that the
daily press is not unanimous on the
subject today.
For example, the New York World
a paper which no one will accuse of
"radicalism," printed the following
leading editorial in reply TO Mr.
Davis:
"Any limitation upon the power of
the Supreme Court to veto laws made
by Congress is fervently opposed by
John w. Davis and other eminent law
yers, speaking before the American
Bar Association.
'The question arises: What is the
Supreme Court? Is it five members
of the nine? If it is (and that is
specifically stated by Mr.. Davis to be
what he means), then the American
bar opposes any limitation upon the
power of five justices to perform
a supreme act of power over the pro-
test of four justices, equally qualified
and empowered to judge.

The Farm Workers
Bumped in Canada
(By Federated Press)

Vancouver, B. C.-Men returning
here from the harvest fields of the
prairie provinces report that hun
dreds of men from all parts of Can
ada as well as several thousand new
ly-arrived immigrants from the Bri-
tish Isles are being dumped on the
prairies, often without a cent, in a
concerted effort to make an easy
source of cheap labor available for
the harvest this year. The recent un-
expected rainfalls in many districts
in Western Canada compelled farm
ers to cancel their orders for harvest
hands. In parts of the harvesting
area the local authorities have been
obliged to care for destitute harvest
ers until the harvest got under way.
In many places the hands were fed
and lodged at the expense of the
municipalities, sleeping accommoda-
tions being provided in the Y. M. C.
A. gymnasiums and Salvation Army
hostels.
Wages for harvesters this year
average about So day and board.
A days work in the harvest fields in
Western Canada means from IA to
16 hours. Board in many places is
without fresh vegetables, and sleep
ing accommodations are primitive.
Conditions in railway construction
work are not much better. At Sas-
katoon, Sask., where men are employ
ed to build the governments railway
to Hudson Bay, 35 cents an hour is
the wage paid. Out of this the men
are expected to board and clothe
themselves.

cent, over 1920.
Gin addition to the direct saving of
$307,654.61," says the bulletin, "the

which this achievement in accident
prevention work made possible"

Indigestion IA Horses
Result of Poor Feeding

Digestive troubles in the horse are
often the result of injudicious feeding
and watering, especially during the hot
summer months when the horse is do
ing full quota of work. 1t must be
remembered that If the horse is tired
out and exhausted his stomach and
other internal organs are in the same
condition and are not in a fit state to
start to do their work, which is the
proper digestion and assimilation Of
the food taken in by the animal. If the
stomach is unable to perform it's work
in q normal manner and a large feed
Of oats is given 1t can easily be under
stood that the results are apt to be dis
astrous and lead to severe COLES which
often have fatal ending. Many COLES
are due to feeding Immediately the
horse comes in from a hard spell Of
" ork and when he is heated and tired
out. Being hungry, he starts in to eat
rapidly. with the result that the stom-
ach becomes overloaded and unable to
handle the food. In short time the
horse shows signs of pain and restless
ness and the farmer has on his hands
a very sick animal If the horse is eX-
hausted, allow him only a mouthful Of
water and feed a sloppy bran mash,
which is easy Of digestion, but the oats
and hay must be withheld until the
animal is cooled and been well rubbed
down. BY that time, under the influ-
ence of the bran mash, the stomach
will have recovered its tone and be in
a fit state to digest the regular rations.
Indigestion in colts may result from
the irritation Of teething, from the re-
moval Of the dam at too early an age,
or sucking when the dam is heated or
has been too long time parted from
the foal In older animals indigestion
may be due to defective teeth, debility
of the stomach; improper and irregular
feeding are also common causes. Indi-
gestion with engagement arises from
ravenous eating, filing the stomach to
an excessive degree.
In ordinary cases OF chronic indiges-
ton first examine the teeth, and re-
move the cause of irritation from
them; next carefully consider the diet
the horse is fed and see that it is mod
crate in quantity, nutritious and Of
fered at regular intervals, and when
these are done it will be time to think
Of medicines.
Generally, it will be advisable to give
a mild purge Of oil with ginger, fol-
lowed by tonic made Of bicarbonate
Of soda and powdered gentian, each
half an ounce, and powdered nux vorni-
ca, 20 grains, given as dose twice a
day.

Essential Features Of
Self-Feeders for Hogs

Pigs that are to be fattened for mar
ket, says Arthur L. Anderson, who is
in charge of the hog section of the
animal husbandry division at Univer-
sity farm, will make the most rapid
and economical gains If put on a self
feeder. The time required for the
hogs to reach the marketable weight
is reduced by this system of feeding.
Also the labor bill is cut down mate
rally.
The free choice system, or allowing
the hogs to select feeds to the amount
Of their own wanting, has been found
a satisfactory plan. The wants of
the pig are good criterion of his bod
lily needs.
Self-feeders vary great deal in
minor features of construction The
essential features, says Mr.. Anderson,
are:
/. Substantial and rainproof con-
struction.
2. A V-shaped hopper to insure a
constant supply available to the pigs
3. A small opening at the base OF
the hopper to control the escape OF
feed, and adjustable for the various
kinds of feeds.
4. A trough from which the hogs
may eat, so constructed as to prevent
the waste of feed
A self-feeder having these features
of construction can be made in an or
binary farm workshop and will be
found very practicable.

japan to BE Short Of Rice.

A report recently given out by the
Department of Agriculture contains
the information that a shortage in the
rice crop Of Japan may be expected
on account of heavy ice in the Boring
sea. Studies of weather conditions
in Japan have resulted in the belief
there that whenever the ice is heavy
in Bering sea ocean currents bring it
to the Jauanese coast and produce
weather unfavorable to the rice crop
of that country. The shortage is now
an official forecast, and rice growers
in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and
other Southern rice-growing states
are expected to profit accordingly.
