ROOSEVELT WILL WIN
(The NatiOn)

In the weller of debate and spec
ulation over Roosevelt's plan for
giving the Supreme Court a blood
TRANSMISSION, one vital thing seems
rapidly to be dropping out of sight.
This is the fact that Mr.. Roosevelt
is going to get what he wants. His
mathematics may have to undergo
some changes. The number of justices
may not be increased to fifteen and
the retirement age may have to be
pegged bit higher than seventy. But
when all the shouting and the tumult
dies, tie nation will find that ROose-
Welt has at last achieved his objective.
Already the tide has begun to run
strongly in ROosevelt's favor. The
flow of protest letters on embossed
stationery has begun to peter out, and
the folks who really elected the pres
ent Congress are beginning to be
heard from. And they will be heard
from in increasing numbers now that
Senator La Toilette has gone on the
air in defense of the Presidents pro-
posal and has been followd by that
willy orator, Attorney General Cum
mings. AS soon as the situation is
ripe, Roosevelt himself will go to the
country on the issue, and then there
will be nothing left to do but see
which of the justices decides to be
lead-off man on the retirement list.
Organized labor this past week began
bringing up it's batteries in Roosevelt's
support. and now that John L. Lewis
is back from the General Motors war
there will be some effective cannonad-
ing from that salient. The farm or
CARNATIONS, beautifully disciplined by
Secretary Wallace, also began this
past week to move their battalions up
from the rear. In another week or
two the success of Roosevelt's program
in the House will be past doubt. Only
the Senate will remain as a battle
ground, and there the battle is already

PATROL WILL DRIVE
ON ONE-LIGHT CARS

An intensive drive on all "one-eyed"
motor vehicles on the highways of
Minnesota has been ordered to begin
March Is, by the chief of the high
way patrol. Orders to arrest all driv-
ers of cars or trucks displaying but
one headlight, or without tail lights
as a means to reduce accidents on
the highways have gone out, says
highway bulletin.
This is not a threat to anyone"
Chief ArnOldy said, but l think any
motorist who spends much time on
the highways will agree with me that
vehicles with one light are menace
to traffic safety
The patrol has also been ordered
to check all tx" license trucks to
see that the home cities of the oper-
ators are plainly stenciled on the side
of the vehicles, showing from what
towns the trucks are operating under
the 35-mile law. Operators who fail
to have their trucks so marked will
be arrested, Mr.. Arnoldy said.

THAT POOR OLD CONSTITUTION
(UniOn AdvOcate)

(Union AdvOcate)
Every time a democrat is elected to
the presidency the old guard poll
ticians get out their handkerchiefs
| and begin weeping over the likelihood
that the constitution is going to be
thrown into the ash can. And it is
notable that the chief walters at the
wall of fear are the MOrgans. the Mel
Ions, the duPOnts, the HOOvers, the AL
Smiths and their legal representa-
| tiveS.
Just now they vision the total col
| lapse of the constitution if Mr.. RoOSe-
velt's court reform program goes
| through congress as it most likely
| will.
The United States, as a nation, is
lot very old. AS matter of fact
| 1t is only an infant in comparison
| with Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Great
| Britain, France and the rest OF the
old world. Yet these nations have
| never delegated to any court the right
10 void and set aside an act of their
| legislative bodies. English law is the
foundation OF American law and the
English court system is so far ahead
| OF the American system OF JuriSpru-
| dence that there is no comparison be-
| tween the two. But an English jurist
| would no more think of questioning
the validity OF an act of parliament
than he would consider issuing a labor
| injunction that violates the bill OF
human rights.
| No doubt a great many humble
Americans are falling for the clap
trap of the calamity hOwlers now
abroad in the land with their walls
against destroying the constitution.
But it might be an excellent thing for
these good folks were they to sit down
and read the constitution before they
mourn the destruction of something
they know nothing about.
The constitution was not inspired
of God. 1t was not written in the
blood of patriots. 1t is not a religion
nor is it d covenant with the Almighty.
1T was wiitten by group of men rep
resenting 13 commemorative. 1t was
drafted by the convention of 1887 and
ratified by only nine states in 1888.
1t is not likely that any of the franz
ers of the constitution believed they
had written an Immortal document.
AS matter of fact, the constitution
was compromise between those who
believed in a centralized government
and those who believed the states
should have very wide and individual
powers. The constitution was written
to Q) establish a federal government,
and (2) to define the rights and pow
ers of the thirteen states it was to
| govern.
And yet, 149 years after its adop-
ton by nine sparsely settled states a
lot of folks are worried lest it be de-
stroyed should congress attempt to
curb the power of the courts to set
aside the enactments of the legisla-
tive department of the government
| There is not line in the constitu-
ton which gives the supreme court or
any other court the right to invalidate
an act of congress. So why all the
| weeping?

provide federal aid to schools at the
rate of S25 per year per pupil, based
on average daily attendance. This
would bring S14,OOO,OOO of federal
school aid to Minnesota each year of
which Pine county schools would re-
ceive about 100000 annually. This
would be another great step in the re-
ductiOn of local property taxes as we'll
as great step in the equalization of
educational opportunities. This is also
in line with the growing demands and
needs for new and more fair taxa
ton system. National education of
youth will thus be more largely sup
ported, as it should be, by income
sources other than the present out-of-
date system of local property taxes

two U. S. senators are in favor of this
bill. Give them the proper encour-
agement and backing by writing them
