W4RNTNG TO GROWERS

There IS grim warning to growers Of
Imperial Valley in the refusal of the
state Of Michigan yesterday to return
here for trial a man charged with send
ing bad checks here IN payment for pro
duce bought by his representative.
According to information received by
The Press. upwards OF $4,000 in bad
creeks were received in the valley from
this one party. When complaints were
made to the district attorneys office by
those who had been "stung.' the case
was taken up with the division of market
enforcement and warrants were sent to
Michigan asking for the eXtraditiOn of
the accused party.
Yesterday word was received here that
Michigan refused to surrender the man
on the extremely naive grounds that the
checks inyOlVed-three of them-had
been made out in Detroit and drawn on
Detroit banks. 1t is inferred from this,
though there is no guarantee that il is
fact, that Michigan NIGHT prosecute
in its own courts. One is equally free
TO believe that Michigan is not going to
do anything about it.
AS a layman we wonder if sending bad
checks through the mails is not federal
offense, for it certainly appears as an
effort to use the mails to defraud.
This case should be never forgotten
warning to valley growers TO deal only
with bona fide buyers who have all the
credentials the state requires of produce
merchants and brokers. Selling to some
fly-by-night who may offer a higher
price Ito be paid by a bad check than
some honest broker can offer is bad bus
iness-solely for the grower 1t is good
business for the fly-by-night
The state has taken all the steps it can
to safeguard the grower from being i'm
posed upon, and it is up to the latter to
cooperate by dealing cnlywith men upon
whom the state has placed its stamp Of
approval. If he persists in doing other
wise the grower has only himself to
blame for his losses. incidentally he is
being unfair to his fellow citizens, for it
costs them money to send back to Mich
igan or any other state for a man who
has swindled the grower.

Expected to be among the
most significant financial pro-
nouncements of the Roosevelt
Administration in recent months
will be the nationwide broadcast
tonigh thy Secretary of the Treas
ury Morgenthau.
THE American Dollar" Is the
announced title of the speech.
Mr.. Morgenthau will go on the
air at 10 o'clock for a review Of
the monetary program and prob
ably some observations as to fu-
ture policies.
It was not believed that any
dnflationary tendencies would be
announced although the markets
have been somewhat jittery since
1t was announced that he would
discuss the monetary situation.
Silent on Bonus
Mr.. Morgenthau, with the ex-
ception Of his appearance on
Capitol Hill, has refused to dis
cuSS the soldier bonus. Whether
this situation, having direct bear
ing on the monetary program,
would be mentioned, has not
been disclosed.
Observers expressed the hope
that Mr.. Morgenthau would clar-
1fy the Administrations attitude
on international sterilization. Also
a prononuncement against infla-
ton was retarded as a possibility.
The Secretary in announcing to.
nights speech said that he would
answer some of the many ques-
tons put to him relative to the
monetary policy, including silver,
gold and the sterilization fund.
Among the most important ques-
ton, so far unanswered, is whether
the Administration, in order to
obtain the one-to-three ratio Of
silver to gold, might cut down the
gold supply through exports in
payment for goods, thus making
possible an attainment of silver
ratio more promptly.
Decrease Possible
If the United States should de.
velop consistent unfavorable bal
ance Of trade a decrease in the
enormous gold supply would be
possible.
Mr.. Morgenthau also has been
asked to explain whether the inter-
national monetary situation would
be adversely affected by the con-
tinuation Of the increase in Amer
lean gold stocks which, before
many months at the present rate,
will reach nine billion dollars.
Questions as to the increase in
the price of silver may be
answered. The current price, un-
changed for sometime, is 77.57 per
fine ounce.

 For weeks 123,OO0,000 people have waited for a word from nine grave, lack-robed men in Wash ington. It's first important ruling was yesterday on the gold ques- ton.
 Those men are the chief justice and the eight associate justices Of the United States Supreme Court. No other country in the world has a court with such power to review and judge the acts of tfie peoples representatives. It is Americas s original contribution to the science of law"
 Again today, as often in the past, Americans are looking criti- cally at this court. Many are bit terly attacking its assumed power to declare unconstitutional and of no force acts of Congress. OPINIONS IN CONFLICT
 Many believe it's rigid impar- tiality and sworn devotion to pure reason are drag on progress in d day that demands swift action.
 Others swear by it's calm de- tachment as a great rock uphold ing definitely reserved rights of the people in sea of change.
 To understood how the Supreme Court reached a position where 123,OOO,OOO people wait breath lessly for it's decisions, it is neces- sary to go back 145 years or more. For the Supreme Court was born with the rest of our Constitution, in a time of confu-

along the ,lines indicated by the new Constitution, the country had a Supreme Court. Few thought it was going to be very important.
 In fact, President Washington had a hard time to get good men to serve on it. Robert Hanson Harrison declined, preferring the honor of being chancellor of Maryland. John Rutledge resigned after a few months to take a state judicial post. Patrick Henry re- fused to serve at all.
 Finally the court was filled, however, and John Jay as chief justice. with five associate jus tices, met in the old Royal Ex- change Building on Broad Street in New York. (The capital had not yet moved to Washington--in fact, there wasn't any Washington as yet.)
 At first the court had little to become governor of New York, words indicating that he felt the Supreme Court would always! be too weak to be important.
 AUTHORITY ASSERTED
 In 1793, however, the court first asserted the authority of the national government in the Case of eShisholm vs. Georgia. This was a suit by citizen of one state against the government of another state. The U. $. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the citizen.
 There was an immediate hue and cry that the federal govern ment was undermining state power, and the matter was eagerly taken Up in Congress. That body proposed, and the states quickly adopted, the 11th amendment, forbidding any such suits.

 POWER GIVEN COURT One of the questions so hotly debated in the convention of 17S7 which set about making new and better constitution, was for a system of federal courts. Under the confederation, state courts had equal power, and, as Hamilton pointed out, there may on the same point as there are courts"
 When our present Constitution was adopted, after as hard-fought and yet as intelligently argued a political campaign as the world has ever seen, in it was this clause: "rhe judicial power .. shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish"
 It defines certain kinds of cases over which federal courts should rule. In some of them, like con- troversies with foreign countries and between states, cases were to go directly to the Supreme Court. STRENGTH WAS DOUBTED
 And it adds: "In all the other cases the Supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction both as to law and fact, with such excep- tions and under such regulations as the Congress shall make" So in 17S9, when Congress passed law establishing court

 From that point on the drama grows in force and Intensity. The nation turns from war thoughts to apprehension over the safety of it's beloved President.

Thus two things were quickly shown: the power of the Supreme Court, and the power of the people by amending the Constitu- ton to overrule any decision the court might make.
 However, many men at that time, as now, denied that the Supreme Court could invalidatc laws passed by Congress. Ham, ilton hlmself, defending the Con- stitution in the debate on Its adoption, admitted ". :. there is not a syllable in the plan, which directly empowers the national courts to construe the laws &C., cording to the spirit of the Con9 sitution ...
 CONSTITUTION FIRST
 "I admit, however, that the Constitution ought to be the standard of construction for the laws, and that wherever there is an evident opposition, the laws ought to give place to the Consti- tuition.
 "But this doctrine is not de- ducible from any circumstance peculiar to the plan of the con- vention; but from the general theory of limited constitu- tion {.
 He means this:. If you have as the basic law of a country a writ ten constitution. that is because the people wished, in adopting it. to set certain limits on their presidents, and on their con- gresses.
 It says, for instance, that Con- gress shall not pass laws abolish ing trial by jury, and that even the president can't have your house searched without g. proper warrant

Nothing but the "Sez 'you!- Sez Me" repartee of What Price Glory?" fame is missing from the Edmund Lowe-Jack Holt wise- cracking in "The Best Man Wins" which heads the States double fea- ture program today, tomorrow and Thursday. It concerns the .ad-
 ventures, perils and fun ashore of two deep-sea divers.
 Early in the film, Lowe is in
 jured in an attempt to rescue his pal, Holt, pinioned against a sunk en hulk. As a result of the &C.,
 cident his arm is amputated and
 he is forced to. leave the profess
 sion. Holt leaves too, ands be-
 comes a harbor -patrolman. Lowe
 goes to work for a smuggler, por-
 trayed by the sinister. Bella Lugosi,
 who operates by having confeder- ates drop watertight packets of
 gems from incoming steamers at designated places, later having
 Lowe descend to reclaim them.
 What, happens when Holt is as- signed to apprehend the snug glers and discovers his own friend. Lowe, involved in the nefarious schemes makes for one of the most thrilling and dramatic. climaxes ever shown Yon the, screen.
 Running through the film is an exciting romantic rivalry between the two divers for the. affections of lovely Florence Rice. The latter turns in remarkably sjncehe DOT trayal and lends immeasurably to the tender romantic appeal that
 underlies the films thrilling drama | and riotous action.
 Lowe and Holt, teamed for the first time, should prove to be the most popular pair on the screen. 1 Their clashing characteristics pro- vide all the flashing wit and ex- citement of flint meeting steel. As
 the willy smuggler, Lugosi, as us-
 ual, is excellent.
 The companion feature is "A Nortorious Gentleman" starring
 Charles Bickford and Helen Vim
 son. It Is a thrilling tale of an "almost- perfect" crime and how the perpetrayer is finally trapped. Friday brings the champion | show of the year. on stage and screen. James Cagney with Pat O'Brien, Frank McHugh and Pa. | tricia Ellis in Devil Dogs Of The Air' which outclasses Here Comes
