ONE PLACE NEWSPAPERS
HAVE BEEN REMISS

The newspapers of America are wax
ing up to responsibility they have toe
long shirked The newspapers of Cali
fornia are today leading in that awak-
ening.
In the lower right hand corner of this
page you will see from time to time a
series of institutional advertisements,
sponsored by this newspaper and the
California Newspaper Publishers asso-
citation. The series represents better than
anything else could the manner in which
the states newspapers are taking up
their burden.
You have heard a lot about the free
press, and the freedom of speech and of
the press. So has everybody. Yet few
people realize that freedom of the press
is more vital to the people as whole
than it is to the newspaper owners.
Newspapers have not stressed the pub
lie necessity for free press, it may be.
because many editors have feared that
their words would be mistaken for sell
fishness. They have feared that their
readers might say, There goes that
paper again, using its columns to grab
tighter onto its privileges.
1t is true that freedom of the press Is
a privilege-but in the last analysis 1t
is a privilege for the people, and duty
for the newspapers. 1t is duty to tell
the people what their government is
doing. 1t is duty that should not be
marred by selfishness, radicalism or dis
tortion 1t is the thing that makes news
paper work profession-not a trade.
When freedom of the press is lost,
democracy totters. When any govern
ment tells the papers what they can
print and the people what they can read,
there is an end to freedom of any kind
1t should be the duty of every publica-
ton to impress this fact on the mind of
every single person in the United States,
so liberty of expression and thought and
action can be preserved

taken to do away with shallow "eiis'
ronds. and stagnant water, pu1
there as one section nearby where
the natives would not cooperate.
These simple people had queen
thew called by the queer sounding
name of Queen Taytay.' To them
she was divine. Her word was law.
What should Queen Taytay DO
but announce that if her followers
drank her bathing water they
would be saved from cholera! Ana
of course they believed her. A queen
could do no wrong.
The good queen looked about Tor
a bigger bathtub than she had IN
her little bamboo cottage, and found
a most astonishing one-a galVaniz-
ed iron tank left by the American
Army-and without ado she adapted
IL for her use. After her bath
her subjects would crowd, push and
shove to drink the precious water
in which she had bathed.
Well, that precious water had
been scooped up from the shallow
creeks and ponds which were alive
with deadly cholera organisms!
DR.. Heiser's pleadings and argu-
ments had no more effect than a
woodpecker clacking away at a
granite cornerstone.
He must make her change her
mind But how?
Instead of trying to batter down
the wall he decided to march around
it.
20 Queen, you should come to
our hospital in Manila where we
have a much bigger tank than yours
and bathe in that. In that way
you would do a much greater deed
of kindness for your followers
That seemed logical to the SIM
pie minded queen. A procession
was formed and they marched to
Manila, a distance of twelve miles
The queen bathed and her subjects
rushed up and drank the health
giving water. They did not know
that the doctors had prepared the
water and that it was free from
cholera germs
After a few days the queen got
tired and returned to her native
village After bathing in her nice
shiny hospital tub, the old gal
yanized tank looked mighty drab-
so the queen bathed no more. And
the cholera epidemic was put down
DR.. Heiser did something that
we can all practice. When he found
the queen was adamant, he gained
his point by doing little thinking
and going around.
You can do exactly the same
thing. First make sure that what
you want to do is the right thing
Then, if faced by the impossible,
manage it some other way. In
stead of trying to batter down the
wall, march around 1t.

TOO DEEP
TO UNDERSTAND

It almost seems that somebody had
an eye on profits when the state of Cali
fornia recently applied to the U. S. land
office for permission to trade 72,000
acres of worthless desert land for 1900
acres of potentially rich agricultural
land lying along the All American canal.
Nobody in Imperial Valley heard of
the move, as far as we know, until Land
Commissioner Wilmer at Los Angeles
turned down the hair-brained scheme
and that seems to carry out the idea
of an Ethiopian in the coal bin.
To the U. S. land office Imperial Val
ley-and the veterans who should have
first call on the land-owe loud
thanks" for the curt refusal forwarded
to the state after its request was made.

We, Who Are About to testify

serving as witness is one OF the

and exposure to the possibility OF
courtroom embarrassment does not
quite constitute sufficient moral
ground for evading that duty. But
the bench and the bar cannot eX-
pect anything like stampede of

During questioning of an elder
ly-looking witness in a Cleveland
court it turned out mat the man
on the stand was 103 years old,
and never had been in a court
room before.
What a pity that the newspaper
account of the trial didn't 60 as
deeply into the case of the witness
as it did into the case on trial. He
was not even asked what he be-
lieyed to be responsible for his re
markabla longevity.
The answer probably would have
been that he had kept away from
witness stands for l03 years. That
probably would have accounted al
so for the fact that he still re
tanned most of his hair.
More than one man has had his
life span materially shortened by
courtroom experience thrust up
on him as ap innocent bystander,
and more than on eman has grown

over jealous attorney to grab him

the sole purpose of attempting to
make them appear incompetent is

The Ld,Uyers Win
So Does NeU Deal
Rx RODNEY DUTCHER

WASHINGTON. - Re9ardleSS OF
what anyone thinks of the holding
company act or of brain trusters IN
general, the New Deals "ineXperi-
enced young lawyers" have won a
striking victory over the leaders
of the American bar in the Su-
preme Courts holding company de
cision.
Here is further proof that the
government, under fire, has devel-
opei a string of lawyers who can
take on the best and most eXpen-
siye of the private practitioners.
The demonstration has been espe
cially convincing on the electric
power front, for the holding COM
pany decision-in perhaps the gov
ernments most difficult legal battle
OF a generation-Was preceded by
the Supreme Courts valuation OF
PWA municipal power plant loan
grants and the decisive three Judge
opinion upholding IVA.
The legal generalship has been
supplied from the beginning by
those two widely publicized but
limelight lodging brain trusters,
Tom Corcoran and Ben Cohen.
Those two wrote the holding COM
pany bill, nursed it through Con-
gress and then skipped vacations
to pilot it through the courts.
H C. Hopson of Associated Gas
and Electric once said he'd be will
ing to spend billions to beat the
act and was active in supporting
one of the biggest lobbies ever to
oppose a bill in Washington. That
battle lost, nearly all the big New
York law firms banded together
under leadership OF John w. Davis
to bust the government power pro-
gram. Their fees ran into millions.
Only the modestly paid government
lawyers would admit the act was
constitutional.
Davis leaped into the Baltimore
federal court to challenge the act
a week after it was signed. On be-
half of q Baltimore dentist who
owned few bonds in bankrupt
holding company, he asked Judge
Coleman to instruct trustees that
the act was invalid.
Now you will have to practice
law he whispered challengingly
to Corcorah, Cohen and SEC Gen
eral Counsel Johnny Burns. The
New Dealers replied with yells of
fake case" and "collusion!" after
Davis had met his dentist client
in the courtroom for the first time
Judge Coleman decided against the
New Dealers ana SO did the Court
OF Appeals.
But the Supreme Court accepted
the Corcoran-Cohen argument that
the Baltimore case, in which the
government wasn't party, was no
fair test of the act.
Then an armada of utility law
yers launched So suits against the
act. Once again Corcoran and
Cohen fought up to the Supreme
Court with Attorney General Cum
mings in what utility lawyers called
an "unheard-of" maneuver design
ed to stay other suits while the
governments own suit under the
act against the huge Electric Bond
81 Share Company was being tried
Meanwhile Corcoran and Cohen
had recruited Robert H. Jackson,
New Deal ace trial lawyer who is
now solicitor general, to take spe-
cial charge of the Bond and Share
case.
And to date the courts have hand
ed the big-time lawyers and the
utilities which employ them moth
ing but a bunch of goose eggs.
