White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1937-03-04

I believe it was Kr1ute Hill who
quoted and requoted Clause 2, Sec
tion IL, of the Constitution, for the
past two years, with such persist
ency that it should ,be known by
rote by all who keep posted ON cur
rent events and the acts and atti-
tudes of current politicians; viz.
SEC. III, Clause 2. In all cases
affecting ambassadors, other
public ministers and consuls,
and those in which State
shall be a party, the Supreme
Court shall have original juris-
dictionL I'm all the other cases
mentioned, the Supreme Court
shall have appellate jurisdiction,
both as to law and fact, with
such exceptions and under such
regulations as the Congress
shall make.
This clause, with such excep-
tions and under such regulations as
the Congress shall make" Mr.. Hill
has consistently pointed out, makes
the Congress of the United States
the constitutional authority supreme
in legislation.
Mr. Hill may be right; he may be
wrong. Right or wrong, archangel
or fiend incarnate, let us give each
man his just dues. And it is GER
tair1ly due K1lute Hill his consist
ency and radical independence in
questioning the authority of the su-
preme Court of the United States
to judge of the propriety of the laws
duly enacted by the Congress and
approved by the President B e. z.

much thought to our editorials as
we should honestly having believed,
up to the present discussion, that
very few readers INDUCED in them
and they go to press as we think
them out while pounding the keys
Of our linotype. Consequently a
more hostile attitude toward the
Honorable MIR. Hill was evidenced
than the writer processes. We have
no personal quarrel with Mr.. Hill,
and, for all we know, he may be one
of the most estinlable gentlemen in
the nation.
However, our anonymous writer
is evidently fishing for an answer
by one of our youthful debaters and
Well delegate the matter of reply
to him. We shall simply point out
that our objection to packing the
Court has ever been based on the
argument that it is a seizure of alb

to some issue of which ! have not
heard. But, as regards Nr. Hills
attitude toward the Supreme Court
issue, permit me to direct attention
to the fact that. when the MIRA and
the AAA were judged unconstltu-
tio1lal, the Rooseveltian policy was
that of silence" Silence was good
politics" at that time, and Jim
Farley's astuteness as a politician is
unchallenged.
But, in the face of party COM
mands,, what was the attitude of
Knute Hill at that time? The rec
ords show that he protested from
the floor of the House. His writ
ings and speeches throughout the
campaign are filled with radical"
denunciations of the usurpation of
authority by the Supreme Court.
Thousands OF people in this district
have heard him, in his numerous
campaign speeches, offer a reward
of $25 for anyone who could show
where there was in the Constitution
itself, any delegation OF authority:
making the Supreme Court the fl
nal arbiter of the Co1lstituJionallty,

A FINE LETTER

Dear Mr.. Wilder: The letters ap-
pearing in your esteemed paper are
very interesting and gratifying to
one who has observed the ups and
downs, the ms and outs, of Ameri-
can politics for the past half centu-
ny. When the youth of our land
take an active political interest in
political affairs, there is hope for
progress, and you deserve great
credit for arousing and encouraging
this interest.
1t is not the purpose of this let
ter to join in the Supreme Court
debate, nor yet to come to the de-
Tense of the attitude of our repre-
sentative, Knute Hill. Mr.. Hill is
human, and, no doubt, has many Of
the faults and weaknesses common
to mankind. I am not in a position
to assert that he may not even be
inconsistent in some things, posi-
bly, even representing nothing but
the blind faith of 'stooge' to his
lord and the answering loyalty of
a. vassal to his master" Gas you state
i'm a recent editoriaD, with respect

slider schools, environment and

most important feature. This

Dissension Rises Among 238
Families on Hill Site in
Pennsylvania.
By the Associated Press.

~ the ASSOClAUeQ FTeSS
GREENSBURG, Pa, September L.
Dissension among the 238 families on
the Federal Resettlement Administra-
tion's Westmoreland homesteads in the
rolling Western Pennsylvania hills re-
suited today in a threat of eviction
for six of the families.
David Warren, manager of the COM
munity said that if the families re-
fused to move, they would be evicted
THAT would be the natural procedure" !"
he said, adding that the families in
volved had caused dissatisfaction
among other homesteaders.
Homesteaders at a meeting last
night said the eviction threat was
retaliation by the Government for at
tempts of the settlers to form their
own organization. Ray Newhouse. a
homesteader. said Warren had de-
scribed the organization as commu-
nistic.
Warren retorted:
II don't care what organization they
form, or how many. That has MOTH
ing to do with it. Neither has COM
munism. We've had no communism in
the community; they're just using it
as a word"
Newhouse shouted at the mass meet
ing:
The community has degenerated
from a haven from unemployment to
hotbed Of subversive terrorism"
Westmoreland Homesteads was or
ganized during the depression to pro-
vide homes and work for miners
thrown out of work by the closing Of
pits in the Westmoreland County hill
section.
More than 200 neat white frame
houses have been built by communal
labor and financed by the Resettle-
ment Administration. Homesteaders
were enabled to purchase them over a
20-year period with their earnings
from a community farm and odd Jobs
in the neighborhood.
