Not since the days of Presi-
dent Hoover's so-called noble

sobriety, has it been so costly
for persons to imbibe too freely.
Police Court Judge Gus A.
Schuldt has announced his in.
tention to fine all second Of
tenders for drunkenness 500 or
80 days in Jail.
He started his new policy by
imposing the peak fine on three
old offenders.

I a0hoHy disapprove of a0hat you sag and wit
defend to the death your right to say it-Voltaire

| tice Marshall handed down a de-
cision Of the Supreme Court declar-
ing an act Of Congress unconstitu-
tional for the first time.
Of course, those, whose interests
were most impeded by the action,
were Immediately up in arms; and
there was much threatening of the
powers of the court by the Admin
iStratiOn. In the propaganda against
the "undemocratiC" action of the
court which followed justice was
obscured by arguments against the
antiquity" Of the Constitution, and
the fact was overlooked that one Of
the basic principles of our Consti-
tuition is justice, and not the great
est good for the greatest number"
We give the present Administra-
ton credit that it would not resort
to printing the jury" or, in this
case, placing partisan judges on the
Supreme Court; however, we hear
much talk of legislation to deprive
the court Of its jurisdiction over
matters which might impede the
progress Of the policies of the Ad-
ministration.
The court exercises its powers in
the right Of justice, for which pur-
pose it was founded and has op-
Grated; it is doubtful that a major
ity Of thinking Americans Will ac-
cuSe it Of acting otherwise.

BOW TO PROGRESS

XXTHEN the Nebraska state Legislature ad-
w journed the other day it established a
Landmark in the states history-and, possibly.
n the whole history Of state government in
America, as well.
The Legislature did this by the simple act
OF adjourning; for the next Nebraska Legisla-
ture to convene will be one-chamber affair
Of 43 members, a small and compact group
which Will be much less expensive for the state
20 support and which should be infinitely more
efficient in action than any previous Legisla-
tme.
Nebraska is about to begin highly inter-
esting experiment, which other states might
well watch with great attention. With one
bold stroke, Nebraska has attempted to make
its legislative branch as modern and as truly
representative of the best things in the state
as the beautiful capitol in which the Legis-
ture meets.
If the experiment works half as well as its
proponents claim, the next decade will prob
ably see it copied widely.

JUST BABY BANKS

C'ECRETARY MORGENTHAU'S Baby Bonds
- and the Dionne gums are not the only
newsworthy infants these days. There is
Uncle Sans lusty and fast-growing familS of
Baby Banks, known to the general public as
FEDERAL Credit Unions.
The first of these youngsters was born down
in TeXarkana on Oct l, 1884, and duly chris
tened the Morris Sheppard Credit Union"
after the Senator who fathered the new credit
union law Of the last Congress. Today some
365 Federal Baby Banks are chartered, aver
aging in membership 200 persons.
This little family may prove an important
recovery factor. Credit unions are co-opera-
tive thrift associations formed among groups
with common economic or social interests.
Members pool their savings, and then lend
each other money at low interest for Short
term needs.
Credit unions. until last year chartered by
only 81 states, now may be formed in all
states 1t is estimated that the consumer
banks both state and Federal, could release
a billion dollars IN latent credit to the million
Americans who hold memberships.
Here is a promising field for the mobiliza-
ton of buying power. Baby Banks are not
experiments. They are going concerns.
