means by which the evidence is to be
obtained"
Holding against a five to four ma
jority that the child labor law was
valid. Justice Holmes asserted:
If there is anything upon which
civilized Countries have agreed-far
more unanimously than they have
with regard to intoxicants and some
other matters over which this country
is emotionally aroused-it Is the evil
of premature and excessive child
labor. l should have thought that
if we were to introduce our own
moral conceptions where in my opin-
ion they do not belong, this was pre-
eninently a case for UNFOLDING the
exercise of all its powers by the
United States. It Is not for
this court to pronounce when proht-
bition is necessary to regulation, II 1t
ever may be necesSary-to say that
it is permissible as against strong
drink but not as against the product
of ruined lives"
Many of the Holmes dissentions are
fighting opinions. He was three times
wounded in the Civil war, where he
won a colonelcy. They do say that
he sometimes fights vigorously In
conferences with the other justices.
And it was MI. Justice Holmes who
once expressed an important part OF
his philosophy in the words:
After all, the place for . man who
is complete in all his powers is In

FARM PROPERTY
TAX RESOLUTION
dies IN SENATE
Hamilton Effort to Obtain Re-
duction in Rural Levies
Defeated by SoIons

A resolution instructing assessing
officials and the state board OF
equalization to assess and equalize
farm property on the same basis as
other property was killed by the
North Dakota senate yesterday by q
Is to q vote.
The resolution, offered by Senator
D. H. Hamilton. McHenry county,
furnished the topic for considerable
debate, the proposal being defended
as legislation which would benefit
the farmer. and attacked as unsound.
Senator Hamilton called attention
to the drop in farm values, declaring
the board of equalization should work
out some plan Of taxation similar to
that on which public utilities are
taxed.
Senator William Watt, Cass coun-
ty, supported the resolution on the
ground that 1t would aid the farmer.
He criticised the legislators for not
taking steps to reduce appropriations,
contending that state funds are be-
ing spent freely.
Appropriations are being made"
he said, the same as they we're 10
years ago. This legislature has not
taken into consideration that times
are different and I have fought since
the first day of the session for SPEND
ing less of the taxpayers money"

Governor Splits Increase Be-
tween State and Counties

Increased gasoline tax revenue for
both the state and counties is pro-
vided by a bill now In the hands of
the governor after favorable action
by the general assemly.
The bill raises the tax to four cents
o gallon on July l. OF this levy the
state will get two and one half cents
and the counties one and one half
cents. Both the state and the coun-
ties must use the money on roads

votes In the house to carry the emer-
gency clause which would make the
act effective Immediately after being

t.ated measure to increase the gas
tax to four cents. the additional cent

Washington, March 7.-iNEA)-
Still a fighter despite his 80 years.
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes OF the
supreme court of the United States
remains from many standpoints the
most distinguished figure in Amer
lean public life, his liberal views still
undimmed by age.
His large. bent frame is perhaps
slightly more stopped than a year ago
and his physical and social activities
arc somewhat curtailed. But the
clarity of mind, the forcefulness. wit
and beauty of literary expression, the
liberal human sympathies that have
made him world famous in his more
than 20 years on the nations highest
court remain unaffected by age.
The arduous intellectual work OF
a supreme court justice appears to
be no more of a strain upon him than
it ever was. Some of his most devoted
admirers believe that the past five
years have found him at new heights
of legal thinking and expression,
demonstrated in some Of his dissent
ing opinions.

high courts conservative majority,
although they are often fondly quoted
by liberal thinkers as the brightest
gems of modern Jurisprudence. Here
are a few of them:
Freedom for Those We Hate
Most popular and frequently quoted
is his dissenting opinion In the case
of Mrs. Rosika Schwimmer, in which
the court majority barred her from
citizenship because she would not
promise to bear arms In defense OF
the constitution. Justice Holmes said:
Surely it cannot show lack Of at
tachment to the principles Of the
constitution that she thinks 1t can
be improved. I suppose that most
intelligent people think that it might
be. 49,. Only a judge mad with par
tisanship would exclude because the
applicant thought that the 18th
amendment should be repealed. i.
If there is any principle of the con-
stitution that more imperatively calls
for attachment than any other it Is
the principle of free thought-not
free thought for those who agree with
us but freedom for those we hate. I
think VIC should adhere to that prin-
ciple with regard to admission into,
as well as life within, this country.
And recurring to the opinion that
bars this applicants way, I would
suggest that the QuakerS have done
their share to make the country what
it is, that many citizens agree with
the applicants belief and that I had
not supposed hitherto that we re-
GREETED our inability to expel them
because they believe more than some
of us do in the teachings Of the Ser
mon on the Mount"
In Defense of Free Speech
In Abraham vs.. United States, q
case where five Russian-born persons
in New York were sentenced for dis
tributing circulars protesting the
American invasion OF Russia In 1917,
Justice Holmes wrote:
But as against the dangers Pc
culiar to war. as against others, the
principle of the right to free speech
is always the same. It is only the
present danger Of immediate evil or
an attempt to bring it about that
warrants congress in setting a limit
to the expression Of opinion where
private rights are not concerned. . .
When men have realized that time
has upset many fighting faiths. they
may come to believe v more than
they believe the foundations of their
" conduct that the ultimate good
desired is better reached by free trade
