There is going to be, however, no
discrimination in favor of one section
as opposed to another; and no legiti-

De denied part in formulating plans
for the campaign.
It is Mr.. Etheridge's idea that an
advisory committee should be formed,
the group to be composed of one mem
yer from each interested group in the
State. Thus the hotel operators would
be asked to name one member, the
railroads another, the states cham
bers of commerce a third, and so on
through the list of enterprises which
will have a distinct, vital interest in
the results of the campaign.

.SMOOT AND TAFT
HIT COURT PLAN
Former Senator and Brother
OF Late President Are
Against Bill.
BY the Associated Press.

SAN DIEGO, Calf, February Is
The Constitution "is truly a document
inspired of God" said former United
States Senator Reed Smoot of Utah,
who declared here yesterday he was
greatly concerned over President
Roosevelt's proposal to increase the
number of Supreme Court justices.
Victory for the Presidents pro-
poSals OF change in the Supreme
Court would be a long step toward
defeat of the democratic form of Gov
ernment in this country" said Reed
in an interview. The former Senator.
an apostle of the Church of Jesus
Christ, Latter Day Saints, was here
for church address.
The Supreme Court has faithfully
interpreted this supreme law of the
land in all its New Deal decisions"
said Smoot. It have followed them
closely
Whatever change this country NAV
need to insure the highest good for the
young and old, capital and labor, that
change is not in the Supreme Court.
To tamper with the court is to befog
the real issues and invite the most
serious consequences"
Horace Dutton Taft, brother of the
late former President and Chief Justice
William Howard Taft. in a statement
issued here. said: The Presidents
flrst message to Congress about the
courts seemed to me nothing less than
an insult to the justices.
Here are nine distinguished men
bound by sacred oath to interpret the
Constitution according TO their con-
sciences. The President practically
tells them to look at the election re.
turns.
That was not what the court was
created to do. It was not what the
nine men swore to do. He (Roosevelt)
then had the assurance to add blandly
that he had read the Constitution and
had found thus and So He might have
assumed that the justices had read the
Constitution once or twice"

should be discussed She pointed out,
however. that in democratic form Of
government. there is a need to fight
the prejudiced point Of view.
Though some Of her correspondents
are able to discuss the issue without
prejudice, she continued. there is a
tendency in the large majority Of those
opposing judicial changes to digress
from the subject at hand and to ask,
for instance, why there should be
unions. or why the country should DO
supporting relief projects. 1t is char
acteristic of these writers to state that
our whole liberties are being de-
stroyed." she said, without stopping
to consider whose liberties or how
they are being curtailed.
"Wealth-producing people" Mrs.
Roosevelt said, don't seem to be as
vocal as her correspondents who, on
the whole, represent citizens whose
background Is better than the average.
Ine stationery used in these COM
munications and their content. she
explained, indicates that the person
who takes time to write to her usually
Is educated and possesses q certain
amount of leisure.
Mrs. Roosevelt receives approxi-
mately 200 letters daily, she said. the
majority from women. Her mail rep.
resents a good cross-section of public
opinion. she believes. Social legisla-
ton has aroused her correspondents
as much as the present Supreme
Court issue. she added, and her mail
has not been considerably increased
by the present issue.
A few of her correspondents have
written urging the appointment of a
woman to the Supreme Court, ad.
vancing arguments to the effect that
women are now of suficient standing
in public life to be acceptable mem.
