The case of Pennsylvania man
drawing $4,000 a year on a WPA
Job and being awarded $4,000
in fees as a receiver today was dis
closed as the basis for an amend
ment to the 1900 million dollars
relief bill forbidding WPA en-
ployes from accepting outside
work.
The amendment, which was
sponsored by Representative DAILY
CD, of Pennsylvania, in the
House appropriations committee,
is directed especially against ad-
ministrative employees of the
Works Progress Administration.
Representative DAILY said:
"There are many reports Of
persons on WPA jobs also hold
ing outside positions. 1 believe
that WPA money, which is for
relief, should be used for that
purpose. The jobs should 90

curing WPA supervisory en-
ployes to be residents Of States

also will be in the bill as voted on

on the ground that relief jobs

News Behind the News
Chief Justice as Great Liberal
Hughes Regarded as Balance Wheel
It's All n Writing the Opinions

WASHINGTON-Chief Justice Charles Evans
Hughes of the United States Supreme Court
may end up in history great liberal"
The New Dealers downtown regard Hughes
as a conservative. Roosevelt would be as glad
to see him off the court as he would any men,
Der of that conservative quartet of Butler, Suth-
erland, Van Devanter and McReynolds.
Hughes is often regarded as the courts
great balance-wheel. Voting now with the con-
servatives and then with the liberals he has
labored consistently, but often vainly, for una
nimous opinions. He has tried to keep the court
from running head-on into such storms as that
which threatens its power and prestige.
But a check on the type of opinions which
Hughes assigns to himself is perhaps as ilumin-
ating anything that can be seen without pene-
trating to the secret conferences of the court.
Whether mere coincidence not it boils down
to this:
Whenever the chief justice is on the liberal
side of an important issue, he writes the opin-
ion himself.
When he is voting with the conservatives he
assigns the opinion to another conservative and
merely concurs. Is
Exceptions to this rule have been few and
inconspicuous. The result is that those three
inveterate liberals, Justices BrandeiS, Stone and
Cardozo, seldom get an opportunity to write
opinion except when they're on the short end
of to conservative victory. In case of lib
eral victory or even narrow to conserva-
tive vote, it is Hughes who delivers and attaches
his name to such history is made, for the
chief justice can always control assignment of
the opinion for the side upon which he happens
to vote.
The most recent instance in the to
decision which upheld the vitality important
Washington state minimum wage law. Hughes
wrote the majority opinion-in words which
will be quoted down through history. Nine
months previously, in the New York minimum
wage case, the decision was also to A. against
Then the minority opinion the liberal opin-
ion-and Hughes wrote that one.
The first momentous decision on New Deal
legislation decision New Deal legislation was
in the gold cases, October 1884 The vote was
to in favor of the congressional abrogation
of gold clauses in private contracts. The major
ity opinion was the liberal" opinion and Hughes
delivered it,
Cases which Hughes voted with the con-
Servatye majority have included the AAA case
g to g. nvalidation of the federal excise tax
on liquor dealers violating state laws to 3; in
validation of the Vermont state income tax law
-6 to 8; invalidation of the North Dakota rail-
way tax-6 to 3; and denial of certain powers
to the SEC in the Jones caSe-6 to g. In each
of these the chief justice assigned the
opinion to another conservative justice. Hughes
assigned the majority opinion against the Guf-
fey coal act to Sutherland, although he him.

TOO RAPID ADVANCEMENT A
4 DANGEROUS THING

Baja California is pre-viewing star
Ting twist of the ancient situation in
which the newly rich make utter fools
of themselves. Agrarian colonists in
Baja California are demonstrating to
the satisfaction of everyone but them
selves that intense ignorance should go
hand in hand with the measure of power
conferred by property ownership.
The Agrarians are the newly rich.
Born of generations of poems, they at
last have glimpsed the dream of prop
erty ownership for themselves. The re-
suit is distressing. They are attempting
To achieve their goal en- masse by force
full acquisition, without recompense, or
the property of others. They are, in
short, prone to use the force of arms
and numbers to confiscate private prop
erty to their own communal group.
One report, true or untrue, neverthe-
less brings home to citizens on this side
of the line the upheaval represented in
Mexico by the Agrarian outbreaks The
report deals with group of Agrarian
colonistS, up from the interior, who
glimpsed the CaleXico golf course and
Immediately began laying plans for
their division of it among themselves.
They supposedly did not realize that it
was in the United States. Perhaps there
is no basis for this particular report
but it is true that such schemes are daily
being put into effect in Baja California.
1t is difficult to quarrel with President
Lazaro Cardenas' agrarian program,
which envisages establishment of the
hitherto unfortunate peon class on lands
of its own. The very existence of this
peon class has held Mexico back from
full development The sooner there are
no more poems in Mexico, the quicker
will Mexico take its place among the
foremost nations of the world
Therefore, no question remains of the
motives of the Mexican government. Nei-
ther can there be any question, however,
that the methods taken to work out
those motives have to a certain extent en-
couraged such Agrarian uprisings as
those witnessed in Baja California. The
only question, then, is one of method.
World historians have noted that the
advancement of any people is more sure,
more lasting, when it is built upon
solid foundation; in other words, it is
more complete when the people have
been ready for it. Would it not be bet
ter, then, for the Mexican government
to undertake program of education
slower though it might be-before it
puts into the hands of an unlettered, un-
thinking group the power to sway the
destiny of the nation?
Wealth and ownership of wealth, re-
gardless of the degree or size, confers
responsibilities. Before any nation can
acquire and hold wealth without bring
ing about chaos, there must be reallza-
ton of responsibility. 1t is lesson the
Agrarians need to learn.

NOT TOO LITTLE,
BUT TOO MUCH ENERGY

Spring Fever-and who hasn't got 1t
these days?-is not caused by lack of
energy, 1t is caused by too much energy.
The trouble is that there is not a suffi-
cient outlet for the over-abundance of
energy, and we feel like we do. We
don't need a tonic We need exercise.
That, and change of diet.
The difficulty is that the season is
changing. but our bodies remain the same
for while. They are geared up to Win
ter-time needs, to meet a higher and
heavier rate of consumption and opera
ton. Our systems are all clogged up
with heat and energy.
Doctors advise a prompt change to
lighter diet, and sufficient exercise to
burn up the excess energy.
Only trouble is, we would still Ike
to go fishing.
