CEATTLE. June 12.-Twenty
wild pigs for a wife is the ma
trimonial rate of exchange in
the New Hebrides Islands.
1t matters not whether the wife
is wild or tame. But the pigs must
be wild for the wild pig is a highly
regarded possession in the New
Hebrides. And a wife? Well-she's
merely a wife.
So informs Lewis Knox of Seattle.
a former high school youth, who has
returned to his comrades here a
wind-tanned veteran of exotic adven-
lures on the isles of the southern
seas and elsewhere during a cruise
of two and a half years.
The lovelorn lad of the New He
brides, says Knox. simply must
bring home the bacon before he can
hope to attain the dusky flapper of
his dreams.
Hence an unusual restlessness
among the wild pig colony. Once he
makes up his mind to start house
keeping. the gay young blade speeds
to the forest and the hunt is on.
He stays until luck smiles and
comes back proudly, herding his
twenty wild pigs up to the front door
Of the odd mans" grass hut.
The blusning bride announces to
dad that the pigs have arrived. The
happy couple start their honeymoon
and the stern parent chuckles over
the addition to his drove of wild
porkers.

~ AN FRANCISCO, June Els
80 alimony a moral or civil debt?
- The legal profession. mem
bers Of the Alimony Club and hun
dreds Of Divorces are waiting
eagerly for the answer.
1t Will como soon from Judge
Thomas +. Graham.
Robert S. Andrews, cited for con
tempt of court for failure to pay
aUmony amounting to $3.50 IN his
divorced wife. Mrs Henrietta NJ.
Andrews. contends it's merely a
civil debt
Should his contention be sustained
by Judge Graham it would mean:
That wives no longer could col
lect aumony under threat Of jail
ing their husbands.
That back anmony could he wiped
out by bankruptcy proceedings,
leaving the husband free of any OBJ
legation to meet his regular pay
mauts
That husbands could delay ali
mony payments. forcing their wives
to sue for judgment as an outside
creditor.
The case pivots on the question
Of whether the State constitutional
prohibition against Imprisonment
for debt includes protection to hus
bands delinquent in alimOny pay
ments.
As all state constitutions have
similar provisions under Federal
guarantee. the case has n national
aspect. 1t may bring JOY TO reuct-
ant husbands and grief to depend
ent divorce widows"
Andrews maintains his inability
to pay and stands upon his consti-
tutional right to immunity from i'm
prisonment.

ONE WAY TO

Concurrence of All but One
Member of High Tribunal

BY SIMEON D. TESS
u. S. Sena tor from Ohio


TT HE proposal to require the unani-
nous decision of the Supreme
Court to pronounce a law I'M
constitutional, null and void, was
fully discussed in the Ohio constitu-
tional convention in 1912. 1t was
proposed to substitute for the majority
decision the unanimous decision, the
convention finally deciding upon the
following language;
No law shall be held uncOnstitu.
uonaI and void by the Supreme Court
without the concurrence of at least
all but one of the judges. except in
the affirmance of a judgment of the
Court Of Appeals declaring a law I'M
constitutional and void"
Separate Function
supported the provision for the
following reasons: The three depart
ments, legislative. executive and jul
dicial, should be permitted to function
independently of one another. and
should be free to exercise that func-
tiodn, even when it sets aside the act
of the other That is. the legislative
should be permitted TO act independ.
emily. although the executive may
veto it's decision. and the judicial
may declare its decision unconstitu-
tional. So likewise the executive
should be free to sign or refuse to sign
a law without fear Of impeachment
and the judicial act upon the consti.
tutionaliJy without reversal by public
clamor
However. the legislative is ono co.
ordinate department Of many mem
bers--in Congress it is 40 and 96.
The executive is one coordinate de
partment of one President The iu-
dicial is one coordinate department
of nine men While these are consti-
tuted differently and mequa}ly they
rs departments are equal
Nine Void Act of 53l
Therefore when The act Of one de
partment involving the judgment of
531 members of the House and Senate
is adiudsed by another department
composed of nine members. the act
should not he set aside as unconstitu
tional 10y a 5-to4 vote 1t might mean
making a law void by so narrow a
decision that one man is umpire.
This close division has several
times in the past set aside a law It
