CONGRESS vs. SUPREME COURT

The plan to empower congress to override decisions of the Supreme court was termed the Supreme issuer by spellbinders recently. This Supreme issue" has lacked staying powers, it appears, and other su- preme issues may be manifest as the campaign develops.
 But it is an interesting issue all the same and ccntars attention upon a body Of men who function more forcefuily fhas any other body in the world.
 The weak point in the constitu- tional safeguards surrounding the Supreme court is not frequently men, tioned because it is not an issue and will not be one until some ad- ministration takes advantage of it, This weak point is the fact that the number Ot jUrists IS not clrcumscrlo- ed by the constitution.
 Congress can at any time pass a statute increasing or diminishing the number of Supreme court justices NanifesIy this power can be used to increase the total of jurists and appoint gentlemen friendly to any cause advocated by congress, and thus bring about an oyerturn of op- position by the court to a congress aonal enactment.
 This isn't theory. It once hap pened,
 In 1866 congress was bitterly an- tagonistc to President Johnson and desired to prevent him from appoint ing Supreme court judges, in the be- lief he would appoint men favorins his ideas. Congress accordingly re. duced the number, which was ther So judges, by passing law that nc vacancy should be filled until th' rumber was reduced to seven.
 In 1869, when Grant had succeed ed Johnson to the presidency Congress raised the number to nine so as to change the complexion o the court on the legal tender issu then agitating the country. In du time after this the legal tender de cision, which had previously bee given by the court, was agai brought before the court and the de cision reversed by the enlarged body
 Such a peversion of the court not contrary to the constitution hu is contrary to the spirit of fairnes inherent in the natiea.

RLANE THE LEGISLATURE


 Considerable comment has been made regarding the action ot the supreme court in California in rul- ing La Toilette electors off the ballot because they were not the product of a state convention but came as result of petition.
 We have refrained from editorial comment because of natural caution to discourse on a matter that seven iudges of the court, with all the facts before them, could not agree upon but brought forth 4 to 3 decision
 Our prudence appears to have been justified after reading the Cali fornia statute applying upon the matter of choosing or naming cleo tors. Gifted with common intelh- gence. a fair education and wits slightly sharpened through years ol
 
 charging into intricate public ques- lions, we find ourselves entirely dabbergasted by said California statute.
 Consequently We are not inclined to blame the supreme court for Its ruling but are willing to shoot a vjtriolic shaft into the legislature for cnacting such an obscure collection of warped ideas, meaningless phrases and irrelevant words. The statute was printed in part in the New York. Times, where we read it. and caused that paper to remark in disgust:
 "The California statute relat-
 ing to independent nominations to the lay mind certainly seems
 obscure. The judges of the state
 supreme court divided 4 to as
 regards it's proper intcrprela-
 ton. What is the sensible ln-
 ference from such a difficulty in
 ascertaining the true intent or
 the law? Not that the courts
 should be swept away as mere 1 cumbcrcrs of the ground, but
 that Legislatures should eXer-
 else more care and intelligence i in making statutes so clear and
 precise that no judge could mis-
 take their meaning
 There is a strong suspicion abroad in the land that the legal lights Th' draft laws for some of the leglSla lures purposely make them inVolve' SD as 10 create "business" for tn legal fraternity. But we would no be so unkind as to believe it. Still if may be true.
