COURT HIT BY SPEAKER.
Cornell Professor Says 1t Should Quit
"Legislating."

Cornell Professor Says 1t Should Quit
"Legislating."
ST. LOUIS, April 26 (Py.-A student
OF government told the National
League of Women Voters today the
Supreme Court should abandon the
job of legislating and confine itself to
the task of Judging"
1T is my Judgment the legislative
power which the Supreme Court now
wields through judicial review is far
greater than can be justified under
principles of democratic government"
declared Robert c. Cushman, professor
Of government at Cornell University,
Ithaca, N. Y.
The legislative power is
vested in the Congress, not in the Su-
preme Court"
In an address prepared for delivery
at the first general session of the
leagues thirteenth convention, Prof.
Cushman presented plan for "restor-
ing proper balance between legislative
and judicial power" He said:
We should work for a more gen.
eral understanding on the part of
laymen and lawyers of the compelling
need for this judicial tolerance toward
legislation, keen recognition of the
danger which lies in the urpation Of
legislative power.
"A public opinion won over to this
sound view of the judicial function
may bring pressure to bear on the
praSiiort
to the bench men of liberal and tol-
Grant minds who will sternly refuse
to usurp the legislatures job"
The Cornell professor summarized
steps by which he asserted the ju-
dicial camel has got himself pretty
completely into the legislative tent
as follows:
Protecting itself from constitutional
interference by Congress; assuming
power to keep Congress from exercising
power not delegated to it by the Con-
stitutior, taking over authority to see
that Congress and the States do not
exercise their powers by methods SEEM
ing to the court to be arbitrary. and,
finally, taking on the function Of scru-
tiny of legislative motives"
Declaring Americans have been
spendthrlfts in their heritage of de-
mocracy, Miss Marguerite M. Wells Of
Minneapolis, president of the league,
said this country must, like the pro-
verbal third generation, 60 back to
shirtsleeves"
To-day We meet in world Of stark
fear in which tyrants are ruling by
force and people obeying through fear"
she declared. Americans realize the
advantages they possess for proving
democracy and self-government can
succeed. But democracy is not bless
ing that can be bestowed upon people
and be possessed for all time 1t Is
something that can be made to work
through understanding
