TRADE MARK

Sutherland's Minimum Wage Dis
sent Indirectly SlapS Hughes,
Roberts; Attacks Roberts For
About-face, Hughes For Citing
Economic Changes; Effort Of
Roberts To Find Reasonable
Doubt" Caused 103 Days Delay;
Sutherland Opinion Seen AS
Swan-song OF -Four HOrsemen
OF Reaction.
Washington 1t took 103 days
for the Supreme Court to reverse
itself and hand down its history
making decision up1o:ding the
Washington Minimum Wage Law
Last Monday.
This was close to a record de-
lay. 1t took only 35 days to declare
unconstitutional the District of
Columbia Minimum Wage Law Of
1928. 81 days to outlaw the New
York Minimum Wage Law last
June, 6 to void the Arkansas law,
and II to veto Arizona'S.
Some of the inner factors which
caused this long delay have now
leaked out through one source or
another, and are extremely sig
nificant. There were two causes
for delay:
First, was getting Justice Rob-
erts to make up his mind. 1t was
his switch which swung the Court
in favor of the act. To find eX-
cuses for rever1ing himself with
in four months was no easy job.
Second, was the drafting of JUS
tice Sutherland's dissenting opin-
ion. He did not start writing it
until after he had received a copy
of Chief Justice Hughes major
ity opinion, and after that he
took MS time.
The daily independent., 1937-04-02

ono vote they threw out the New
work Minimum Wage Act. That
oct was more conservative than
tbp washington act; it gave great
er protection to the employer. Yet
roberts changed his mind and
OK'd the much more radical
washington measure.
Even last october, however, he
stin stood with his conservative
colleagues. When New York State
asked the Court to review the min
imum wage case, the Court refus-
cd Reviews are given only if one
mstice feels that Reasonable doubt
exists regarding his previous de-
CiSion.
Justice Roberts at that time en-
tertained no reasonable doubt.
What irked the Four Horsemen
was that nothing in the law or
the Constitution changed between
october and March, but in that
interim Mr.. Roberts changed his
mind. There had been an election,
also a Presidents proposal to re-
vamp the Supreme Court. But
there were no new laws or consti-
tutional changes which might
arouse reasonable doubt in Rob
ertS' mind.
So Justice Sutherland admon-
ished his colleague as follows:
e. Undoubtedly it is the duty
of a member of the court, in the
process of reaching a right con-
clusion, to give due weight to the
opposing views of his associates;
but in the end, the question which
he must an.wer is not whether
such views seem sound to those
who entertain them, but whether
they convince him that the sta
tute is constitutional or engender
in his mind a rational doubt upon
that issue.
The oath which he takes as
Judge IS not a composite oath. but
an individual one. And in passing
upon the validity of a statute he
discharges a duty imposed upon
him which cannot be consummat-
ed Justly by an automatic accept
ance of the views of others which
have neither convinced nor Gre
ated a reasonable doubt in his
mind. If upon a question so i'm
portant he thus surrenderS his
deliberate judgment he stands
fOrSwOrn.

AMIABLE SUTHERLAND

This Sutherland dissent is I'M
portant.
Justice Sutherland himself was
rs years old last week, and is one
of the most picturesque figures on
the Court. Like Hughes, he wears
a beard. though it is poor second
in impreSSiveneSS to the Chief
Justices. 1t is thin and gray-Whlte,
helps divert attention from the
underlying face, which is pink but
not prepoSSeSSing. Ii:S s5,in is Of
a remarkable delicaCy. as IS every
thing about him. even the fine
hand-stitching on his black worst
ed suit.
Sutherland'S handshake is firm.
His eyes are gray and colorleSS,
like his personality, yet they are
bright. His talk is ambling and
proliX, like that of man Of go.
So void of color is he that in its
way this is almost spectacular.
And even as he is ColorleSS, so
also is he amiable. Among the
conservatives. he is the bcSt-diS-
poSitioned member Of the Supreme
Court. Even the liberals, who diff
fer with him vigorously. find him
courteous and forbearing.
That one so kindly as Suther-
land should have written dissent
so cauStiCally fortnight and in
directly so critical of two col
leagues, is highly significant.
The daily independent., 1937-04-02
FOUR HORSENIEN

It's virtiol was inspired first be-
cause Sutherland was defending
his own position. taken IA years
ago, in which he knocked out the
first minimum wage act. 1t was as
if he were defending his child.
Second. Sutherland did not write
the opinion entirely himself. But
ler. who is more blunt and vigor-
Gus. helped him. Van Devanter
and McReynolds were consulted.
The dissent, therefore, represents
the compact, completely unani-
nous opinion Of the conservative
group.
In fact. it may be the swan
song of those who have come to
be known as the Four Hor5cmen
of Reaction.

HUGHES CRITICISM

Mr. Sutherland also had some
CauStic comments to make about
Chief Justice Hughes reference to
the economic conditions which
have Supervened.'
But" shot back Sutherland,
the meaning Of the Constitution
does not change with the ebb and
flow of economic events"
To which a prominent New
Deal attorney, listening to the de-
CiSion remarked:
"Mr. Hughes. without realizing
it. has gone back to his old state
ment as Governor of New York
that the Constitution is what the
judges say it is
But Mr.. Sutherland says that
regardle. S of judges, the ConSti-
tuition stands immobile and i'm
mutable like the Rock Of Gibral-
tar"

TARGET ROBERTS

Their blast was aimed Chiefly
at Roberts, who had deserted
them, and at the Chief Justice,
who put changing economic con-
ditions" ahead of the ConStitu-
ton. The names of these two were
not mentioned, but it wasn't nee
essary. They showed through al
mott every line of Sutherland'S s
burning opinion.
Most vehement blast was aimed
at Roberts. Remember that Rob-

THE DANDELION

When the dandeliOn is blooming
Common flower by the way,
Forming one rich golden border,
Where the children run ana play
Gathering them in heaped up armfuls,
Overjoycd that May is here,
Strnging them in childish aurelS,
Golden garlands quaint and queer
What pity that their numbers
Have made them a common weed,
When their color. shape and beauty
Were for nober caste dCcreed'
Never gold had purer yellow.
Never from more Shapely grace
Why do people miss the beauty,
OF their sweet. round golden face?
Now they take me back to childhood
And the Joys all sprngtimes bring
And hear the children shouting
And the birds that SWeetly sing:
Had the earth not been so laVlSh
With their growth each coming year
AHd had made them less Ill numbers
Then they'd be more welcome mere

tFNS) Governor Cones often
repeated statements that Florida
has sufficient money to meet its

For the first Cd Of this year
shows an increase in revenue of
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1937-10-30

considerable more than $500, 900
and decrease in operating ex-
penses of more than $4,000;
making a combined total of a lit
tie less than ga of a million dol
lars for the ga of year the new
administration has been in con-
troll. Officials of the motor We
hicle department estimate that
the increased revenue and de-
crease in expenditures for the
first year will reach a sum of
nearly million dollars.
The savings in the operation of
this department can be accounted
for largely by the decrease in the
number of employees. When the
new administration went into Of
flee, it found more than $50 en-
ployes stumbling over each other
trying to find something to do.
Now the department is operated
on practically half that number,
and the increased amount of bust
ness handled shows that there has
been no loss in efficiency.
