The Court Is Suddenly Not So Sacred
PHILADELPHIA Record)

philadelphia Record
In 1887 President Roosevelt opened his historic
fight for legislative correction of abuses of power by
the u S. Supreme Court The New Deal complaint
was that the Court made its laws instead of
merely interpreting laws Congress passed; that the
Court set itself above both the Congress and the
plain meaning of the Constitution.
The American Bar Association and conservatives
generally attacked the President with unparalleled
vndictiveness They accused him of everything from
falsehood treason He was they said daring to set
the legislative branch above the judicial: He was
interfering with the Courts He was undermining the
Constitution by asserting the Supreme Courts inter-
probation of it might not be right. He was creating
dsrespect for law by daring to criticize the highest
Court in the land.
That was in 1887. With that in mind we present
some quotations from Associated Press report of
a speech made this week:
He said the Court reversed constitutional doc
trnes and established principles and that therefore,
the legislative branch of the Government would have
to protect the people against arbitrary exercise of
power"
The speech a bitter attack on the Court, was made
by Frank j. Hogan, President of the American Bar
Association, in opening the associations annual con-
vention The assembled lawyers applauded
So it wasn't the Court that was sacred, after all
1t was just certain former majority on the Court
which handed down decisions pleasing to conservatives
Now them pleading for legislative action
to upset line of judicial decisions they don't like.
Apparently the sacredness of the Court depends
entirely whose client is gored.
When the Court against the people, it was
treason to criticize it. But that the Court is TAX
ing popular rights and needs into account it be
denounced by "the best people"

Gates stubborn opinions among per-
sons of small knowledge.
Serious attention will be- given
to dishonesty among relief reeipl-
ents who feel that money taken from
the government under false pre-

Taxpayers will resent their burden
more and more. Exposures of graft
and wastefulness will foment re-

Leaders of thought will deplore
the lack of high purpose and the

Increase of crime is prognosticated

Suspension Ends
Engineering and Mining Journal


AS the assessment work year drew to its close on
July l. at noon, without further suspension by Con-
gress OF the provision of the Mining Law calling for
the performance of 500 worth of work each
patented claim in each twelve months. there was
surely activity such has been unnoticed during
the past years in various throughout the
Western States
Reports indicate tht many a man in recent weeks
has found welcome work in last-minute employment
given by claim owners who wished to remain in
the legal possession of their ground and who foresaw
there little hope of further lenency. Still others
there must have been who were keeping watchful
eye claims they had in mind to locate for them
selves the legal deadline past and the
way OPEN At least old prospector we know of de-
cined an otherwise attractive job in order to leave
himself free to carry out a similar purpose.
Within few days of the end of June measure
was passed by Congress granting two months extern
sion of the time for performing the necessary work
This act it should be noted leaves the basic situation
unchanged The work must be done. The seven
year confusion breeding nregularity caused by
pension is at end.
To some former claim owners, honest in intent
but up the refusal of Congress grant further
suspension works actual hardship. BY and large,
however the country will benefit. Seven years of
leniency is quite enough.
