needed. For about the Presidents plan
with respect to the lower courts dis
turbing charge is made in a report
of the Bar Association of New York
City, supported by other authorities.
Bar Association Charge.
The bar associations charge is that
Mr.. Roosevelt, by his bill, would be
empowered to appoint large number
OF new judges to the lower courts; that
these new Judges would have a status
differing from the status of existing
judges, and that. as a result. the new
judges appointed by Mr.. Roosevelt
would constitute-I quote the bar
association report:
"a mobile force of itinerant judges
nominated by the Chief Executive '"'
who are to be assigned to particular
cases 4" These judges may be as
signed to any case on any of the dis
trict court calendars"
Whether this charge is we'll based
laymen cannot tell. 1t depends on close
reading of the Presidents bill. and also
close reading of the existing law about
assignment Of judges, which the Presi-
dents bill would change. Most per-
sons will be influenced by the fact that
the charge is made by responsible
bar association.
The charge arises mainly from one
paragraph IN the Presidents bill. The
bill gives the President power to sp-
point additional judges on the lower
courts. just as it gives him power to
appoint new justices on the Supreme
Court.
Important Phrase.
Then the Presidents bill provides
that the new judges, appointed by
him, can be moved from one part of
the country TO another. The suS-
picion expressed by the bar associa-
ton report arises partly from two
words in the Presidents bill. which I
here italicize hereafter appointed"
ANY district judge hereafter ap-
pointed may be designated and as
signed from time to time by the
Chief Justice of the United States
for service in any district court !"
(And the same as to any circuit
judge)
II the charge of the bar association
is well grounded it must contemplate
that the following things would
happen:
/. The President would appoint rs
to so judges. This will happen.
2. The President would appoint only
judges whom he expects to decide
cases the way he wants them decided.
This is an assumption, but the as
sumption is believed by practically all
who oppose the Presidents bill.
3. The President would appoint a
Chief Justice and the Chief Justice
whom he appoints would do whatever
he wishes. This is perhaps the least
probable of the assumptions, though It
is believed by many who oppose the
Presidents measure.
To imagine a concrete case, such as
the bar association report must have
