Il branches, executive, legislative and judicial, CO.

That dispute has been particularly strident in re-
cent months as a result of Supreme Court decisions
Now judge sets forth doctrine which, to put
1t mildly, is surprising, considering the usual and
human tendency of any branch of government to
extend its powers as far possible.
5 Supreme Court Justice Wheat of the District of

diction over the Senate committee 1t is better
to have no remedy than to have the courts attempt
to coerce another branch of the government.
IF the committee has been proceeding in a man

to let them continue than for me to do something
( which regard would be unlawful. In other words,
two wrongs do not make right"
The suit will be appealed. 1t will be most inter-
estng to whether the Supreme Court agrees that
the judiciary has right to coerce another branch

our writing on the wall this spring,
and if we don't start reading it and
doing something about it before
long, we are apt to wind up right
where Belshazzar did.
Our warning is being provided by
Nature, in the form of dust storms
and floods.
And the point of it all is that
these disasters are to very large
extent man-made. Man didn't
cause the winds TO blow or the
snow and rain to fall; but he did
set the stage so that these natural
forces could inflict the maximum
amount of damage.
For, in this world, we reap just
about what We SOW. When we mis-
use our greatest natural heritage,
the land, we must expect to pay
the price some day. We have just
been paying a stable installment
in the shape of dust storms and
floods; and the installments will get
progressively larger, year by year,
unless we mend our ways with
great rapidity
Unless we recognize the writing
on the wall, and act on it, we shall
presently find ourselves in a very
bad fix indeed-a fix like that of
China, where the spread of desert
and the curse of flood have passed
entirely beyond human control and
are simply torrents that must be
endured.

terprise the nations highest and probably its most
popular and efficient monopoly This is the first
time public body has taken comprehensive look
behind its corporate screens. The inquiry is not
designed to punish anybody to smear any repu-
tation but to search out facts which the public is
entitled to know about any company to which it
grants an exclusive franchise ana which govern
ment commissions must know to regulate that mo-
nopoly in the public interest
The FEC has disclosed that through the depres-
sion period, from 1929 to 1895, the A. T. g. T.. with
decline in revenue of only IS per cent reduced the
number of its employees 80 per cent and the size of its
pay roll 26 per cent. Some of the curtailment in
jobs was due to loss of business, but apparently
much Of it was due to mechanical improvements,
such as the installation of dial systems for in the
traffic department the number of employees was cut
81 per cent. Meanwhile the company dipped into its

CHOOSING SAFELY

A NEW method of selecting judges, designed to
4 relieve them from political pressure, is being
given a tryout in California
1t put into effect by an initiated constitu-
/ tional amendment in November, 1884 and applies
to judges of the Supreme Court and of the Dis
Z trict Courts of Appeal.
The plan is compromise between the elective
and appointve systems 1t attempts to keep the bet
ter features of each.
Under the California plan, incumbent shortly
before the close of his term, may signify desire to
retain his judgeshp. His goes on the ballot
and the people vote on whether to retain him. If
the majority vote mo" vacancy occurs The gov
ernor then appoints his successor subject to ap-
prevail of commission on qualifications. This
group is made up of the chief justice of the Su-
preme Court the presiding judge of the District
Court of Appeals where the appointee is to serve,
and the attorney general.
The names of judges thus chosen to fill vacancies
go the ballot at the next general election. The
voters again vote whether the nominee shall
serve out his appointed term. majority mo- vote
creates vacancy again. and the process is repeated.
The system has not been used long enough to test
results, but it is an experiment worth watching by
Indiana and other states seeking methods to inn
prove their judiciary.

TODAY'S SCIENCE
by DAVID DIETZ-

IF the day ever arrives when the
Il worlds supply of petroleum gives
out, it will be possible to meet the
demand for gasoline and lubricat-
ing oils by the refinement of shale
oil and the INCORPORATION of coal.
That is the opinion of DR.. P. K.
Frolich, chief chemist of the Stand
ard Oil Development Co., subsidi-
airy of Standard Oil of New Jersey.
The shale oil deposits exist in
various parts of the world Colorado
and Utah possess mountains of it.
1t is estimated that there are $50
billion tons of it in Indiana.
Oil Shale is a shale rock soaked
with q wax-like material called
kerogen, which when heated
changes into oil. The shale is a
highly inf1ammable rock. There
are various stories about its discov-
cries by pioneers who used it to
build chimneys and then saw their
chimneys go up in flames the first
time they built fire.
A ton of oil shale will produce
about SO gallons of oil. The reason
it has not yet been attempted is
because the process can not now
compete with the cheaper process of
refining and cracking petroleum.
The INCORPORATION of coal is a
process by which with the aid of
high preSsures and high tempera-
lures, coal is made to react chemi-
cally with hydrogen gas, turning the
heavy hydrocarbons which consti-
tute coal into lighter hydrocarbons
which constitute gasoline and other
oils
DR.. Frolich. however, is not pes
simistic about the future of the
petroleum supply despite the gil
gantic scale of operation in the oil
industry. He does not agree with
those who predict that the oil sup
ply viii give out in a few decades.

Probably it was bit discomfort

BelShazzar must have been pretty
