AN EASY LIFE FOR ALL
BY Albert Apple

An Englishman visits Henry Fords plant in Detroit,
walks out dazed and says IF autos be produced
swiftly and in such great quantities. why can't the world
handle all its production the way, making than
enough for everybody"
No at all why the world couldn't.
In fact the American part of the world headed in that
direction already
Ford has become a fetish By is he the only
efficient manufacturer The productive organizations of
Standard Oil and u S. Steel is equally efficient. main
difference that Ford by of the nature of his pro-
duct concentrate of the of manuac
ture under roof In most other industries the processes
of production and assembly into completed products
or less scattered.
Would the world want to Fordize all its commercial and
industrial activities making the system of economics fnc
ton like gigantic clock?
Would the results be worth the price? There is bor-
derlne where efficiency becomes monoonous in it's same
ness.
In craftsmanship for instance competition may like
waste of effort Certainly there is much duplication But
competition between rival statesmen makes their work inter-
esng by the elements of sporhe pleasure of striving to
obtain what others after Selling would be mighty
monoonous if the salesman just ordertaker for
producing organization that completely monopolzed its
field.
Maybe the world is destined to become Fordized Maybe
the worlds wheat requirement will in future generations be
estimated scientifically and definite number of
signed growth Maybe the number of required safety
pins fountain pens baby carriages will be calculated
and allowed to manufacture these commodities in
excess of definite number, nor lag behind needs.
Such system would do away with over-production. 1t
would eliminate shortages. It would cut-and-dry prices.
If you want such a world, you have it. As far
we're concerned of the chief charms of life is it's
tainy. Problems bothersome uncomfortable But
solving them makes life interesting. a."

MIR. FIRPO RETURNS

SUBVERTING THE JUDICIARY
(St. Paul Dispatch)

(St. Paul Dispatch)
Because the Supreme Court of
North Dakota held that petitions
II put upon the November ballot
constitutional amendment pro-
viding for a $6OO0.000.OO bond is
sue to be used in paying depositors
in closed banks, the Association
of Depositors in Closed banks de-
cided at meeting in Bismarck on
Saturday to attempt a recall Of
three of the judges OF that court.
In its decision the court held
that the petitions presented to the
secretary of state were "insuffi-
| cient in form" That is, they
complied neither with the require
ments OF the state constitution az
to the form there prescribed nor
to the law governing the matter Of
signatures. The petitioners at
tempted to have submitted to the
voters constitutional amendment
and Legislative enactment, the
former providing for the bonds,
the latter providing for the per-
retuation OF the guarantee of
bank deposits law, for the appoint
ment Of a commission in which the
state bank association shall not
have, as now, a voice, and for the
assessment of state banks of the
cost Of the bonds and interest over
period of thirty-six years. The
twin measures were offered in
form that required but one sigma
ture and If on the ballot, would
not permit voting for each separ-
ately. A minor organization was
that the text of the proposed
measures was not printed in full
in the petitions as required by
law.
Instead of accepting the decision

citation proceeds to remove the OBJ

jority of the court. They are to
be punished for upholding the
constitution and for their inter-
probation Of its meaning, by the
cost of campaign and possibly
by removal from office!
The effect of such action upon
court decisions is merely a rever-
sion to mob law. If a supreme
court must have it's ear to the
ground like q politician to hear
the rumble of public opinion, and
divide its attention between esti-
mating the popular wish and the
majority in favor Of a decision on
one hand and the law and facts in
the case before it, not a long time
will elapse before the law and the
facts will drop into the back
ground and instead of a judicial
body, the supreme court will have
become legislative body, regis
tering the apparent will of the
largest mob.
The recall of judges thus results
in a subversion of the judiciary,
its decisions being subject 20
challenge and its judges under
pain Of dismissal and to some ex-
tent disgrace at the within of the
few thousand who thoughtlessly
sign petition on any pretext or
on none. The authority of the
judiciary as one of the three
branches OF government is entire
ly thwarted and annulled and it be-
comes a mere megaphone through
