hear much about the perils that
beset democracy. If we are to
defend successfully our institutions
against all comers from the right
and from the left we must make
democracy work.
Those who are violently opposing
the Presidents recommendation
insist that the reforms he seeks to
bring about should be accomplished
by amending the Constitution and
by that method alone. This is the
strategy of delay and the last resort
of those who desire to prevent any
action whatever. Thirteen State
Legislatures can prevent the adop-
tion Of any constitutional amend
ment. The child labor amend
ment, submitted 13 years ago, has
not yet been ratified. Furthermore,
If an amendment were secured. it
would still have to run the gantlet
Of judicial Interpretation.
The more thoroughly the Presi-
dents plan is debated the more
clearly will its merits appear. 1t
meets legitimate need. 1t is reason
able. it is moderate. it is direct, it
Is constitutional. 1t works out our
problems within the framework of
our historic institutions and it
guides us to clear path away from
our present difficulties.
The envious and the malicious
may challenge the integrity of the
President and the purity of his

This Is the so-called attack upon
our judicial institutions.

This Is the so-called attack upon
our judicial institutions.
Says Campaign Technique
Is Revived in Attack.
Despite the manifest need of
these reforms, despite the COM
prehensive and reasonable nature
of these proposals. despite the long
history which brought them forth.
despite the eminent judges and
statesmen who have either ex-
pressed views or actually proposed
measures Of substantially the same
character, the President is now the
storm center of a virulent attack.
The technique of the last political
campaign has been revived We
are solemnly assured that the
courts are to be made mere ap-
pendages to the executive office,
that the judges to be appointed
cannot be trusted to support the
Constitution and that the TRACE
dies of despotism await only the
adoption of the Presidents recon-
mendations.
Yet no serious objection has
been made to any one of the pur-
poses or to any part Of the plan,
except its application to certain
members Of the Supreme Court.
Why the Supreme Court should
be granted special exemption
from the plan, no one has been
able to explain. If there were no
judges on that court of retirement
age there would be no substantial
objection from any responsible
quarter. What, then, is the real
objection? It is simply this:
Those who wish to preserve the
status quo want to retain on the
bench judges who may be relied
upon to veto progressive measures.
Opponents of this measure as
sert that 1t is immoral. The rea-
son they charge that it Is i'm
moral is because they are unable
to charge that it is unconstitu-
tional. Whether the plan is i'm
moral or not must be tested by the
results it produces. If it produces
a wholesome result in perfectly
legal way. it can scarcely be
called immoral
1t Is true that the Presidents
proposal may possibly, but not nee
essarily, have the effect of in
creasing the size of the Supreme
Court. But there is nothing new
in that. Jefferson. Jackson. Lin
coin and Grant, together with the
Congresses of their respective pc.
RODS. saw no objection to enlarg-
ing the court.

sage of the 5th of February, in
which he submits simple, we'll

these points and meets all these
needs.
Reviews Provisions
In Roosevelt Plan.
The proposed bill which the
President submitted with his rec
concentrations provides in sub
stance that whenever a Federal
Judge fails to resign or retire at
the age of 70, another Judge shall
be appointed to share In the work
OF the court. In no event, how
ever. are more than so additional
judges to be appointed, the Su-
preme Court is not to exceed Is
in number. and there are limita-
tions on the size of any one Of
the lower Federal courts.
It also provides for flexible
system for the temporary transfer
of judges to pressure areas. under
the direction of the Chief Justice.
The President further recon-
mended the adoption of a pro-
posal now pending in Congress to
extend to the justices Of the Su-
preme Court the retirement priv
ileges long ago made available
to other Federal judges. He also
recommended that the Congress
provide that no decision. injunc-
ton, Judgment, or decree Of any
constitutional question be pro-
mulgated by any Federal court
without previous and ample notice
to the Attorney General and an
opportunity for the United States
to present evidence and be heard
In behalf of the conStitutionality

in which any district court de-
termines a question of constitu-
tionality there shall be a direct

chosen to lead Iowa's football
