CLASS RULE THREAT
SEEN BY MARSHALL
Former Vice President Says
People Must Act to Stay
Its Growth.
By shs Associated Press.

By nn6 Assoclated Press.
HAMILTON. Ohio, June 5.-Thomas
r. Marshall. former Vice President of
the United States, declared there is
a menace OF class legislation in a
commencement address here today.
Laws ought to be far removed
from the storm and tumult OF politi-
cal and economic life" he said The
old American order was an order of
representative government consisting
Of three branches, one to make laws,
one to interpret them, one to execute
them. 1t was an effort to remove
law-making, Misrepresentation and
law enforcing from the sudden burst
of anger and passion that sway the
minds and judgment of the best of
men.
Peoples Problem.
''It is up to the American people
soon to determine whether they care
to maintain this old ia shioned sys-
tenn of government which preserved
the life, liberty and property of it's
citizens, or whether they are about to
plunge themselves into the expert
ment of a pure democracy. where the
shifting tides of the passion of self
interest or class-interest vary stand
ards from day to day.
The new idea of democracy in
evitably tends to legislation by
classes, and once the classes have OBJ
tanned control of government then
some one class will take charge of
affairs. and that will be the ending
nf democracy. The tyranny of a class
is just as inimical to the rights of the
sitting as the representative of an
unlimited monarchy"
