Beveridge OH Five-to-Four Decisions
New York Herald.

In the current issue of the Saturday
Evening Post former Senator Albert
J. Beveridge discusses, with a clear
ness and calmness worthy of emula
ton by other public dialecticians, the
matter of the notification, by the
! Supreme Court of the United States,
! of legislative acts.
Mr. Beveridge recalls the events
which have made this question live
lier now than it ever was before.
by far the strongest force" he says,
that gives the movement life and
power springs from the five -four
pronouncements of that tribunal of
which there have been more in the
last half decade than in the preced-
ing 129 years of our history" The
child labor case and the minimum
wage case are fresh in the public
mind Mr. Beverage thinks the laws
that were overthrow in these cases
were expressions of public policy
therefore he has sympathy with the
reluctance of the public mind, as he
sees that mind to accept the deei-
sions as final.
And it is the public mind that Mr..
Beverage is thinking of and that he
would have the Supreme Court Judges
consider. There may be five-to -four
decisions again unless the people, by
amending the Constitution, modify
the power of the court or unless the
court itself decides, in the words of
Mr.. Beveridge, to adopt a rule for
its own guidance requiring six out
of the nine members of the Supreme
Court to agree that an act of Con-
gress is unconstitutional before so
deciding"
Congress has no control over the
court 1t would be unfortunate if it
had. There would be no shield be-
tween individual rights and the acts
of a Legislature that was despct!c
ignorant or corrupt
SO Mr. Beverage looks nowhere |
except to the court itself for an end |
of the agitation over tive-t o-four de-
cisions. He believes that if the court !
would announce a six-to-t three rule !
the movement to destroy its power
over unconstitutional legislation
would soon come to a standstiH" As /
a precedent for such action Mr.. Bev-
eridge points out that once. when
public opinion was irritated because
The court nullifed State legislation

in the exhaust gases varies from "a
to s.5 per cent and consequently that
the air in a closed garage viii reach
the danger point in a very few min
utes. 1t is a common practice among
motorists on cold days to allow the
engine to idle for FIVE or ten minutes
before leaving the garage. in order TO
warm up the oil and cooling water
This. the bureau points out is a very
dangerous practice and cases are re-
ported frequently where the driver is
found dead at the wheel If it is de-
sired to warm up the engine, all
windows and doors should be opened.
or better still. the car should be
driven into the open air where the
toxic exhaust gases are quickly dis
sipated.

WOULD TAKE THE PINCH OUT
OF PlNcHoT.

The state treasurer of Pennsylvania
has recommended that the next legis-
lative session repeal the tax on an
thracite. Consumers of hard coal
throughout the country will welcome
that suggestion. In all Of his plans
for control of the anthracite industry
and the lowering of the price. Gov
ernor Pinchot has never intimated
that he would be willing for his own
state to yield any of it's profit there
from. II the Pennsylvania Legislature
takes action in the matter. it will be
on the initiative of someone else. and
apparently in spite of the man who is
trying to pose as the friend of the
coal consumers.

HUMoR IN ROAD SIGNS.

R. r. K. in Anaconda Standard.
On recent motor trip through
Pacific coast states met a man who
had collection of road signs-photo-
graphs of course-but a rare set.
gathered over a journey of thousands
of miles. Hints of hazard in flashes
of humor and satire they were. Some
showed a versatility and aptness Of
expression that was surprising. The
art Of sign writing for highways is
apparently cultivated in some states
Oregon and California in particular
have developed intelligent systems.
The occasional touch of humor but
directs the attention of the motorist
to the necessity Of perpetual vigilance.
"Tarry a moment here or forever in
the cemetery is the striking legend
at the approach of a hairpin curve in
the Siskiyou mountains. At railroad
crossing a caption underneath a grue-
some picture of a car smashed by an
express train reads: HE thought the
train was late, but it wasn't"
AS man Win llt camera SnOWeQ
me a snapshot of a sign he took on
one Of tine great open spaces" of
North Dakota. You could see an auto
mobile in either direction five or six
miles away, he said. and the road was
equally good or bad over a width of a
hundred feet on the level prairie. The
roadsign humorist had emphasized |
the solitude in these words: speed /
limit 100 miles an hour; Fords do
your best"
At another jerkwater point in which /
the only signs of life were a few tum- /
bledown shacks and a gopher colony,
one of the settlers had blithely in
scribed en- a post the words. Don't
Stop Unless You Have to; This Is q
Helluva Place"
In eastern Montana beside a bridge
at the fork of a sharp turn, he took a
picture of the shattered wreck of a
ear on which some wag had nailed
this sign: This guy was poor
mixer; he tried to mix whiskey and
gasoline"

Fiqhtina Mine Fires.

Experiments recently completed by
the Department OF the Interior, thru
the Bureau OF Mines, afford new in
formation on the effectiveness of
different sizes of small hose at diff
ferent pressures, distances, and eleva-
lions, in fighting mine fires. These
data were needed to supplement the
results of tests conducted in 1910, by
the bureau. to establish the best sizes
of hose and nozzle to be used in at
lacking underground fires, and the
most suitable hydrant pressure. The
recent tests, like the earlier ones were
made in cooperation with the National
Board of Fire Underwriters. A manu-
script for technical paper has been
prepared and in due course will be
published by the bureau of Mines

industry having particular reference
TO the Occur d'Alene district was
never better. Some attribute it TO
the unsettled condition in Europe;
some to the attitude of the federal
government in discouraging sDecula-
tive investments; some to drastic
blue sky legislation. and some to
various other influences which to their
minds operate against the mining in
dustry.
But the New York gentleman quoted
brushes all these barriers aside and
in effect says they 10 not exist; that
there is plenty Of money available
by persons who are willing to take
"A chance" if they are only given
complete information occasionally re-
garding the affairs OF the mining
company in which they have invested
or in which they are asked to invest.
In other words, let the stockholders
know absolutely that they are getting
"a fair run for their money" There
is much merit in what this gentleman
says. and while it may not contain
tine entire solution OF the problem. 1t
nevertheless calls attention to the
right of stockholders to information
which is too frequently denied them
either through design or neglect, and !
which if accorded them would result |
in making them much more favorably |
to part with their money for |
mining development

GOVERNOR MOORE AND /. W. W..
PRISONERS.

The people Of northern Idaho gem
orally applaud the action OF Governor
Moore in refusing to pardon l. W.
W. prisoners serving terms in the
state penitentiary. In his reply 10
the request for pardon. which was
made Immediately following the action
Of President Coolidge in releasing war
prisoners. the governor very properly
stated that the l. W. WIS in prison
were not in any sense political pris-
oners, and that the pardon of war
prisoners by the president had no
bearing whatever in the consideration
of their cases. They were found
guilty Of violation OF the state law
which forbids propaganda calculated
to incite riot. destruction of property
and the overthrow of government. 1t
has been proved time and again that
the l. W w. organization Is actively
engaged in trying to carry out those
criminal purposes. and the trial of the
prisoners for whom pardon is sought
proved beyond doubt that they were
l. w w. organizers and therefore
guilty of carrying out its criminal
designs. In replying to the request
for pardons, Governor Moore said:
president Coolidge pardoned
war prisoners who were convicted
of draft interference or of ac-
tivities hostile to the proper
pursuance OF the war Embree,
Herde and Quackenbush were
found guilty by q jury of u Idaho
citizens of melting riot, and the
destruction of property, violating
a state law which is still on the
statute books. In fact, another
man was convicted last week in
north Idaho under the same act.
Further, the men by their action
and conduct since being confined
in the state penitentiary have
forfeited consideration looking
forward toward parole by the
state board. There can be no
just comparison with President
Coolidge's action since these men
are not war or political prison
ers."

TIDE TURNS AGAINST THE SOL

Elected by the changing attitude of

Coolidge in his message that ne was
not in favor of the bonus. and en-
phasizing the reduction Of taxes as the
most important work before con-
gress. has wakened the people up to
an appreciation Of the real situation.
Congress is in session, and it is likely
that the number of letters to MEM
bers from the home folks will effect
ually end the bonus agitation as well
as make tax reduction certain.
But if the pressure for tax reduc-
ton forces the bonus into the hack
ground during this session of con-
gress. it win be only temporary, for
the mercenary leaders of the Ameri-
can legion, in cooperation with shlfty
politicians in congress. will renew
their efforts to force it through con-
gress. No question is ever settled

MONTANA MINE PROFITS.

Figures for Fiscal Year Filed by Four
Butte Companies.
Four of the larger mining companies
of the Butte district reported net pro-
ceds for the last fiscal year of S4,523,-
092.74, according to the books of the
state board of equalization. The pre-
vious year many of the mining COM
panies operated at a loss and only one
or two reported any net proceeds at
all. says the Butte Daily Post.
The Anaconda company this year,
it reported, earned a total of $S.219,-
41s.77 from its mines in the Butte dis
trict, of which s2,7574S4.21 was de-
rived from ores from the mines on the
Butte hill; s217OS45S was from the
Emma, and s244.949.9S was from the
Nettie.
Net proceeds of the Butte Superior
were returned at S54O,O22.96. The
Elm Orlu showed net proceeds of $685.
622.2s. and the Davis-Daly had net
revenue of S42,6O5.59 from the Colo
RADIO property and s194.42S from its
.Hibernian claim or a total of $751;

Figures as reported by the various
companies were not in every Ease ac-

Justice Marshall announced thai

Mr. Beveridge finds telling argu-
ment against five-to-four decisions in
an opinion by the late Justice Har-
! Ian, who declared that Legislative
enactments should be recognized and
enforced by the courts as embodyine
the will of the people unless they arc
plainly and palpably, beyond all ques-
ton, in violation of fundamental law
of the Constitution"
The New York Herald agrees with
Mr. Beveridge when he says that IF
the decisions OF the Supreme Court
declaring acts of Congress to be UNI
constitutional were made by a ma
jority of twO-thirds of all the JUS
tices-six out of nine-instead of by
a majority Of one-five out of four
the average citizen would accept
more willingly. What is only human
nature" Five to four sounds very
close. Six to three. although there
is the change of but one vote, sounds
far more conclusive; the yeas double
the nays.
The whole question, in the opinion
of this newspaper. is not great
issue, yet it is something perhaps to
be considered by the Supreme Court
in the light of reason and human ma
ture. The only possible danger in
the adoption of a six to- three rule is
the danger that always underles tin
kering with great institutions Once
it is started there are calls for more
and more tinkering. Some agitators
would never be content with a six-to-
three rule They would demand a
unanimous vote or else go the limit
and insist that tine courts be stripped
entirely of the right to scrutinize
legislative acts.
The Supreme Courts present me-
thod has been satisfactory in the
main. It may be years before there
is another fve-t o-four decision.
Meanwhile, among those who hon
estly believe that public policy would
be best served by reasonable eXpe-

WARNING TO MOTORISTS BY
BUREAU OF MINES.

With the coming Of winter the
United States bureau Of mines again
warns motorists of the danger of car
bon monoxide gas when engines are
allowed to run in closed garages. The
bureau points out that four-tenths of
per cent of carbon monoxide, that
is, 4 parts per 1000, will kill an ordi-
nary man in one hour, and higher
percentage will of course prove fatal
in a much shorter time. Automobile
tests az the Pittsburgh experiment
station OF the bureau OF mines show
that the amount of carbon monoxide
