JUST recently, Justice Owen j.
j Roberts, who was in the Supreme
Court before the Roosevelt era be-
gan. speaking with the concurrence
of Justice Frankfurter, rebuked the
entire court for issuing SO many 1e-
verSals OF preceding Supreme Court
decisions as TO make the law mot 4

neither lawyers nor the inferior
courts any longer know what the

Justice Roberts said:
"The tendency to disregard prece-
dents in the decision of cases has
become so strong in this court of late
as, in my view, to shake confidence
in the consistency of decision and
leave the courts below on an UNI
charted sea of doubt and difficulty
without any confidence that what
was said yesterday will hold good
tomorrow"

The same God that makes trees has provided the
