WHY THE SUPREME COURT!

Robert ID. Dripps writes in the
North American Review con-
corning the Supreme Court, as
follows:
You and | and the other in
dividual citizens of the United
States are today the sovereigns
in this country.
Government and every part
Of it, from the president to the
policeman on the beat, owes
every scrap of power or authori-
~ attached to any particular
office to what we, the individual
citizens granted in the Constitu-
ton.
The particular individual who
at any time holds any such office
does so only on sufferance and so
long rs he conducts himself in
all his official acts in accordance
with the provisions of the Con-
stitution.
The government is neither
our master nor a body Of super
men. but the agency appointed
to carry out our will rs defined
in this fundamental contract.
IF law is passed by congress,
or by any state legislature. which
interferes with any of the rights
which we have reserved to our
selves in the Constitution. it is
void-a scrap of paper and
nothing more.
IF the president issues 2any
order not definitely within the
authority conferred upon him by
us in the Constitution. there is
notion competent determina-
ton of that fact slightest
obligation on the part of the
least important citizen to obey
il. or pay any attention TO it,

I'm the meantime. while Sena-
tor Shipstead. Farmer-Laborite.
has been laboring to help the
banks Of his region. the big
bankers Of the Middle West have
been holding back from making
any contribution out of their
resources TO the stabilizing of the
northwestern rural bank king
situation. At a meeting in
Chicago a certain considerable
number Of them firmly resolved
to keep their resources to them
selves and let the northwestern
country banks sink or swim by
their own local efforts.
The result is a political scan
dial of the highest dangerousness.
Ordinary people in numerous
Western and Northwestern
States are now by the act of the
Treasury Department deprived
of their opportunity to invest
their money in Treasury savings
certificates. They are forced
into depositing their money in
local banks which in large num-
bers have been failing. Mean
while the big bankers in adjacent
big cities are refusing to risk
their resources in any vigorous
rush to the sustaining of the
banks thus suspected Of being
about to perish.
The big bankers. it is argued,
are standing aside while little
are being forced into
coming forward to take the risk
involved in being the rescue
party.
In today's gathering il will be
strongly represented to bankers
present that in the rescuing of
the Northwest it is politically
most desirable that there should
be some volunteering by the
largest big banking interests
throughout the country. The
President does not believe in
governmental act ion except
when private action has failed.
What he would like to see would
be vigorous action now by pri-
vate financial interests in the re-
storing of the Northwest to
financial security.
He realizes, it is now believed,
that in the Northwest there must
be vigorous private action or else
vigorous and paternalistic gov
ernmental action or else, as a
third and dreaded possibility,
Republican defeat and the rise
of a new third party in the
Northwest next fall"

KEEPING MONEY WHERE
NEEDED

Much is being written in the
press these days about the finan-
cial difficulties that confronts
the Northwest. and conferences
Of many varieties are being held
in an effort TO straighten out
matters. The Washington Times
Of Monday in an article written
by William Hard gives Senator
Henrik Shipstead credit for
good movement as regards keep
ing the money in local Northwest
banks instead Of investing in
Treasury certificates. The ar
ticle reads in part as follows:
by a strange irony il appears
that Senator Henrik Shipstead,
senior Farmer-Laborite Senator
from Minnesota. is today the
chief hero in the saving of the
Northwestern banking situation.
His speech of last Friday de-
nouncing the high rate of in
terest paid by the Secretary of
the Treasury on short-term
Treasury certificates. and point
ing out the disastrous effect of
this high rate Of interest in at
tracing money in the Northwest
toward investment in Federal
securities instead of toward de-
post in local banks was carried
to the Treasury Department
several days in advance Of its
delivery on the floor of the
Senate.
Senator Shipsteads charge
that Mr.. Mellon thus was taking
money out of the Northwestern
local banks and pulling it into
the United States Treasury and
actually damaging the North
western financial situation at the
very time when it most was in
need of help is now candidly adj
mitted by the Treasury Depart
ment through its decision to
withdraw all Treasury savings
certificates from sale in postof-
fees in numerous Western and
Northwestern States.
The credit for this accom-
plishment on behalf of the north
western local country banks.
which now presumably will get
the local money formerly going
into Mr.. Melons Treasury saw
ings certificates, is generally here
awarded in full measure TO Sena-
tor Shipstead who thus, as a
Farmer-Laborite. gains his first
great legislative success through
taking part in the rescuing Of
bankers and in the restoration Of
financial stability in the North
west.
