For the experienced listener,

INTEREST IN COURT
FOUND SURPRISING
Justices, Moreover, Are:
After All, Human With
Their Human Side
By CHARLES Il. STEWART
Central Press COIumniSt

Washington. March Gin the ear
" days of the still-pending Supreme
Court fight I ventured the published
opinion that the high tribunal is an
unpopular body with the press be-
cause its personnel is so exceedingly
up-stage in it's attitude toward news
papermen; so extravagantly averse TO
any expression of itself except In its
formal judicial capacity.
1 also voiced my surprise at the
volume of public interest the great
majority of it anti-New DeaD in Pre-
sident Roosevelt's proposed increase
in the august bench's membership, up
to a Is maximum.
A fellow journalist of long expe-
rience, who asks not to be Identified
too closely writes to me suggesting
III the incest way, that l ought to
have known better.
VAST INTEREST
I agree that | underestimated the
amount of interest evidently felt by
the average citizen in the Supreme
Courts future | should have thought
that, for most folk, the subject was
overly technical to create popular
sensation, however much it might con-
Germ a smallish group of the intel
ligensia.
The intelligensia proved to be much
larger than l had imagined.
1 said so in MY original comment.
THEIR ERROR?
But 1 can't admit that l was wrong
as to the mistake the high justices
have made in their traditional policy
of baking at publicizing themselves,
in moderation.
Of course they never could have
been expected to indulge in advance
discussions OF cases pending or likely
to come before them. But they could
not but have benefited themselves by
answering questions relative to the
weather, crop prospects and the base
ball outlook Such chat would have
made them seem human. They are hui
man. In denying it, they do not make
themselves appear uper-dignified;
they make themselves appear ridic-
ulous.
The other day Justice James c. Nc
Reynolds proved it in an informal
speech.
Then Chief Justice Charles Evans
Hughes entered the controversy di-
rectly with a sweeping condemnation
of President Roosevelt's plan in let
ter to Senator Burton K. Wheeler.

NO PROBABILITY OF
PUBLIC ECONOMIES
Candidates Promis e 1t
Knowing They Will New
er Really Achieve 1t
BY CHARLES =. STEWART
Central Press COlumnist

Washington, March 27.-The recent
suggestion by Chairman Mariner S.
Eccles, of the Federal Reserve Sys-
TENS board of governors, that now is
the day for Uncle Sam to balance his
budget by a sizable increase in taxa
ton rates has been received with any
thing but chorus of joyful acclaim
from the ranks of senators and repre-
sentatives, who will have to bear re-
sponsibility for the increase if one is
voted
1t is all very we'll for Chairman
Eccles, who is not much in politics, to
make such a recommendation. Prob
ably not many average folk even no.
ticed that he made it, or have very
clear idea who EccleS is.
When a legislator, however, casts
his ballot for a tax increase, few a
mong. his constituents are likely to
fail to observe the corresponding in
crease in the size of his bill from the
collector of titheS, and said legislator
is we'll aware that he speedily will lie
overwhelmingly called on to explain
why he voted that way, if he was one
of those who did He knows, too, that
from helpful to him on next election
day.
AN, EXCEPTION
Senator Robert M. La Toilette of
Wisconsin is almost alone among out
standing lawmakers who emphatical-
ly favors higher levies to enable the
Federal government to meet it's eX-
penses as it goes along.
Virtually all the remainder urge
that Uncle Samuel, instead of asking
for more money, should cut his ex-
penditures down.
The difficulty is that they cannot
be cut down.
governmental expenditures never
can be trimmed. Once up, they stay
up, and tend to climb higher. This
seems to be an immutable law, with
all governments.
KNOW 1T is IMPOSSIBLE
The very lawmakers who demand
economy know that it is impossible.
Their policy, in reality, is to let the
government go on running into the
hole.
Oh, yes they are conscious that,
some time there must be a recokning
day, but they calculate that it will
not be until after they are dead-not
until after next election, anyway.
We all are like that. To heck with
the future!-unless it is alarmingly
close up.

schedule, add a twelfth grade and
otherwise increase the spending for
school purposes.
A majority Of the members of the
Senate, however, took the view that
this provision would nullify the effect
of the Statewide school plan, in that
it would make it possible for the
weather. districts to make de luxe,
"streamlined" schools, while the
schools in thu poorer districts, especi
ally in the rural sections, would have
no chance of raising their standards.
1t was also maintained that if autho
rization was given to their smaller dis
tricts to levy supplemental taxes, it
would be a breaking of faith with
the property owners who were told in
1881 and 1888 that the Statewide sys-
tenn would forever eliminate property
taxes for school maintenance. So this
section was effectively killed by the
House, (which in it's place reinserted
the section as contained in the 1885
law which provides that supplemental
elections may be held and supple
mental taxes levied only in admins
trative districts-that is. only on
countrywide or citywide basis.
Thus the organized school forces
and school politicians lost decisively
on the only two things they made
fights for-the control of the spend
ing of the school appropriation of al
most $25,000,000 a year and the right
to levy supplemental taxes with which
to augment the State appropriation in
smaller districts and thus go back to
the system in effect prior to 1881, it
is pointed out.
The school leaders made no concert
ed fight for more than a 10 per cent
increase in salaries, for a tenure law,
for pensions for teachers, for sick
leave with pay, for a nine months
school term, for a IL grade school
system or for any material increase
in the appropriation for vocational
education. They staked their entire
fight on getting control of the spend
ing of the school appropriation, by
Settlng control of the spending ma
chinery, an don getting more money
Tor schools through supplemental tax
es in the smaller districts-and lost on
Doth. Both of these moves were de-
signed more to increase the political
power and prestige of the superin-
tendents than to promote the welfare
or the teachers, it is also generally
agreed.
Again the class room teachers have
