RAP COURT IN
PLEA FOR new
CONSTITUTION
Supreme Bench AssaiIed by
Stump and Bush for
Failure to Act.
BY DANIEL NJ. KIDNEY

Indiana's slow moving supreme
court was assailed both by Lieu
tenant Governor Edgar D. Bush,
Salem, and Albert Stump, Indian
apolis attorney, in addressing the
organization meeting Of the Con-
stitutional Convention League of
Indiana at the Claypool Wednes-
day afternoon.
Our supreme court could solve
our taxation problem without re-
curing a constitutional conven-
ton" Bush told the assembly. ut
could alleviate the burden which
Is the primary cause Of the demand
for a new Constitution.
Let the court crack the Constitu-
ton IN the interest Of the taxpayer
1t has cracked it for most every
thing else.
THE court could deciLe that a
constitutional amendment getting a
majority Of the votes cast for or
against it would carry. 1t could re-
peal that old decision made years
ago which requires a majority of
the total vote cast at the election"
Respect Not Increased
In a new Constitution we could
remedy the present danger of any
one being held for indirect con-
tempt" Stump declared.
Now If the court feels that its
prestige. not to be confused with
affection or esteem, has been in
iured it tries the offender as in the
Shumaker and Dale cases.
1T is bit difficult for a person
to prove to a judge who accuses him
that he has not offended that
Judges dignity.
Then there was that city man
ager decision. Such a decision
didn't do much to increase respect
for the supreme court.
Difficult to Indict
Criticism is becoming more con-
slant daily and the one way to
eliminate it is to see that the Con-
stitution guarantees trial by an i'm
partial judge. $3.50.
IN Indiana, under our present
Constitution, we also are powerlesS
to remove judges unless they first
are convicted of crime. Here also
it is bit difficult to indict judge
in his own jurisdiction. He may be
hopelessly incompetent, but We are
-powerlesS to have him removed.
This has brought about a situa-
ton where in two counties that 1
recall every case had to be venued."
Stump then talked about the
great delay which now prevails in
getting cases decided by the Su-
preme court.
Il have one of those six-year
cases pending which were cited re-
Gently in The Indianapolis Times.
1t involves a town administration
and every two years I have to ap-
pear and change the name of the
.appellees as the town administra-
ton changes"

of none of these promises. Now, backed
by the thousands upon thousands Of
voices from every State and city in
the Union, the Veterans Of Foreign
Wars are asking for what Is their Just
due--the right of suffrage in the city
they call home.
"The Veterans of Foreign Wars will
not believe that the trainers Of the Con-
stitution Of the United States intended
that American citizens anywhere be de-
MED the right to vote.
Would Not Alter Government.
"The legislation we ask of Congress
would not alter the form of govern
ment. We do not ask to elect a mayor
and aldermen. We do not ask that the
right of the President of the United
states To appoint local officials be re-
voked. But we do ask for proper repre-
sensation in the Senate and the House,
Just as the States have, and the vote
for President and Vice President, SO
that we can at least say that We are
citizens and not merely inmates of the
District of Columbia.
THE Veterans of Foreign Wars Is an
old organization and a proud one. Our
outfit takes its hat of to no other OF
ganization. Our bond Of comradeShip

know OF no finer bond Of comradeship.
The Veterans OF Foreign Wars was
founded in 1899. Our ranks are com.
posed of men who served their country
on foreign soil or in hostile waters over
seas and under fire, in the Army, Navy.
Marine Corps or Coast Guard. We do
not have to theorize on the supreme
duties Of citizenship as called for in
time of war. We do not have to 90 to
the movies or to read books to learn
what the real service of American citi-
zenShip is about. We have made the
sacrifices and laid to rest on foreign
soil our comrades who made the su-
preme sacrifice. We fulfilled our duties
as citizens in time Of war out where
the going was tough. With peace we
return TO the peace-time duties of Cii-
zenship. carrying the battle for better

bring the word: Back up your national

ton now. Write to your Senator's and
Representatives now and tell them 1t Is

body, that the privileges OF national

"Our organizatiop, the Veterans of
Foreign Wars, is an evergreen organi-
2ation. 1t never dies as long as the
Stars and Stripes see action on foreign
SOIL Others will die out as time takes
its toll. We will not. And from now
on until victory Is ours we are Solidly
behind the movement for national rep
resentation for the District of Colum-
bia. The veterans who served overseas
have a habit of stringing along in the
thick of the fight until victory Is ours.
So we will stand solidly behind suffrage
for the District of Columbia until that
same right Of citizenship is granted.
1.-THE time -honored insignia of our
beloved order, the Veterans of Foreign
Wars, is the cross OF Malta superim-
posed by the seal Of the United States.
Since the days when the cross of Malta
was worn emblazoned on the mailed
coats OF the ancient crusaders at the
walls Of Jerusalem that device has been
the badge of the overseas fighting man.
It is our badge today. The Veterans Of
Foreign Wars are Americas true knight
hood. They conduct themselves accord
ingly, cleanly and intelligently, withal
courageously. The organization, every
single man of them. served overseas.
If such Americans do not have the right
to have a say In their own form of
government, It is pertinent to ask, WHO
has a better right?"

somewhat OF a shock to realize that in

1920 our population Of 4S7y 7l exceeded
that of seven of the States, In per.
centages Of men who served in the
World War the District of Columbia
showed the way to 43 OF the States.
The population has increased to more

GAS In the States. our organization
here Is confronted with many veterans
problems. When such problems occur
let us say for example. in Massachu-
sets. and when legislation will remedy
conditions. your Massachusetts veterans
go to their Senators or Congressmen
the ballots OF the veterans having
helped to elect these officials, and ask
for remedial legislation. When we in
the District of Columbia are confronted
with similar problems we must ask our
comrades from other States to go to
the bat for us. because we are denied
the right of full citizenship.
Our forefathers fought and gave
their lives Tor no taxation without rep
resentation.' They did not mean no
taxation without representation excent

When Abraham Lincoln spoke his
Immortal lines, that government OF the
people by the people for the people shall
not perish from this earth he did not
add except In the District OF Columbia.
To-day our organization Is kept busy
taking care OF wounded and disabled
men for whom the World War will
never be over. 1t Is hollow mockery to
look these broken overseas fighting men
in the face or to stand before the Tomb
of the Great Unknown in Arlington
and bark back to the days when we
fought for democracy for other peoples
and do not even have the privileges Of

City of our own country. It would be
funny If it were not so tragic.
1T does not take a master memory
to recall the great promises made back
in 1917 when the long ranks OF olive

death or glory. Anything and every.
thing the boys wanted would be grant
