RUSSIA AIDS PEACE

Relations between Japan and Russia
have been somewhat improved by the de-
cision of the Soviet to extend for a year
the valuable fishing rights which the Jap
anese have enjoyed in Siberian waters.
1t will be remembered that this was
delayed by the disclosure that Japan and
Germany had entered into an agreement
relating to joint efforts against COM
munism. The Russians explain, with sense
rare in diplomacy, that they are making a
concession and extending the fishing rights
to avoid trouble, if possible. In other
words, while things look bad the Russians
make a concession in the hope of pre-
venting worse trouble
The action of the Soviet emphasizes
the predominant peace policy pursued by
the Bolshevic nation during the past. few
years. Faced with this action, who scan
charge the Soviet with trying to provoke
an armed conflict in the Far East? And,
if fighting commences, this fisheries con-
cesSion will go some ways toward convinc-
ing the World that it resulted not through
the choice of the Russians.

tract. The government has no right
to take this right from any Amefi-
can citizen, nor to curtail it in
any way directly or indirectly. On
the other hand the Constitution
makes it the first duty of the gov
eminent to protect the citizen in the

and make his own contracts for
work. This IS a citizens right It does

ARBITRARY AND UNREASONABLE

The Citizen has great respect for
United States and an admiration for the
jurisprudence of the land. Undoubtedly,
the people owe much to eminent and
learned judges and to the principles they
often discuss so intelligently.
We say so much in order not to be
misunderstood when we say more. Re-
gardless of the sanctity of law and order
in civilization there is no magic which
makes man wiser on the bench than on
the ground and no mysterious aroma
around the brains of judges which give
them vastly superior understanding of
human problems.
We have in mind, just now, the de-
velopment of the judicial principle that
judges and courts have the right to set
aside laws, otherwise properly and legally
enacted, because they are, in the opinion
of the court, arbitrary or unreasonable"
If a legislative body has the legal right,
under our governmental machinery to en-
act statute, it is not the proper function
of court to decide whether the action is
arbitrary or unreasonable.
Opinions as to "reasonableness" and
whether a law is arbitrary" or not de-
pend upon the individual, whether he be
a legislator or judge. In the United
States there are hundreds of courts, and
probably more than thousand judges,
whose opinions on such matters do not
always agree 1t is not unusual for one
Judge to hold unreasonable what an
other equally intelligent jurist finds en-
tirely reasonable. What one jurist says is
arbitrary is upheld, very often, by the
judges of his neighboring State, as an en-
tirely valid exercise of the law-making
power.
These conflicts occur for the obvious
reason that the judges are not basing decl-
sions upon legal principles, or upon laws,
but upon personal opinions, which include
personal prejudices and are affected by
mental variations. 1t does not enhance the
public esteem for the judiciary nor is the
man in the street fooled by a lot of numbo
jumbo phrasing encasing a decision en-
tirely personal in every respect.
In popular opinion, the laws of the
land are made by legislatures but any
good lawyer will tell you that the coun-
try has about as much judge-made law as
legislative enactments. In other words,
legislatures pass laws but courts say what
they mean, how they work and the extent
of their operation. Failing to find other
grounds for impaling a statute, the astute
jurist simply decides it is unreasonable"
or arbitrary and that is the end of the
law
The people of the United States, in
considering other problems that may .af-
feet their welfare, might give some thought
to whether any judge, however learned,
should have the power to set aside a leg
islative act upon the simple assertion of
the jurist that, in his opinion, the law is
unreasonable or arbitrary" 1t might
be worth their time.
