FRIDAY, JULY 16, 1937 THE FUTURE OF THE SUPREME COURT For many years it'has been “ The Tribune's” custom to deter comment on important state papers until at least a day -baa been devoted to study and reflection. The practice has its justification in ordinary circumstances, when the public has been prepared by hints and trial baloons for the official pro­ nouncement, Whqp, as on Friday, without any previous in­ timation o f what was coming, the President sprang his proposal for amendment o f the judiciary act, as postponement of com­ ment was doubly merited, Mr. Roosevelt's -message and the bill which he submitted to congress to carry his ideas into effect propose changes of two distinct sorts. He asks, in the first place, fo r certain precedural changes in the administration of justice. Their purpose, as he explains, is to expedite justice in the federal courts. Under this head there is little that is novel and nothing o f transcendent import­ ance. The President has raised the question whether the creation o f the office o f proctor, the systematic transfer of district and circuit judges to courts which are 'overwhelmed with business and the speeding o f appeals involving constitu­ tional questions will, in fact, expedite the administration of the law. Whatever the answer may be, the President's recom­ mendations in this category involve .no fundamental change in the spirit of our institutions, The other proposed change is fundamental: Its objective is to enable Mr. Roosevelt to command a majority o f the Supreme court. He has sought to create the impression that the two suggestions are one and that they stand or fall toghether, but obviously they do not. The question raised by his proposal to increase the membership o f the Supreme court to a maximum of fifteen raises the question: Shall the Supreme court be turned intojthe personal organ o f the President? That is fundamental because, if congress answers yes, the principle o f an impartial and independent judiciary will be lost in this country. In all probability it will •be abandoned for all time. In the past other administrations and other parties in power have been dissatisfied with Supreme court decisions, but have abided by them rather than invite the con­ sequences o f a manipulated court. Mr. Roosevelt takes the opposite view. He places his immediate objectives .above everything. Once a President has packed the court to obtain approval o f a particular course of action which he favors it is as certain as anything can be that his successors will find the same or other ways o f accomplishing the same end. The court will be manupulated again and again. The will of the people ex­ pressed in their constitution will no longer be the supreme law o f the land. Confidence in the integrity o f the law will he undermined and hone o f the rights o f the ^Citizens will be secure. The change which Mr. Roosevelt has proposed is revolu­ tionary. The word is used advisedly. The essential difference between free government in America and dictatorial govern­ ment in Europe is the independence of our three branches o f government. Mussolini dominates not only the executive branch o f government but the law-making and judicial branches as well. Otherwise he would be no dictator. Precisely the same description applies to. Hitler and Stalin. They are dictators because they write the laws, they put them into effect, and there is no independent judiciary to which the citizens can appeal against the autocrat,. Mr. Roosevelt’ is the chief- executive; by election, and he holds congress in the hollow o f his hand. How lightly he regards its theoretical independence, in. framing the nation's laws is indicated by the fact that he gave them a draft of his judiciary bill with orders to pass it, If the bill is passed by a supine congress, as he expects, he will have control over the courts, too. From that moment the will o f the President will - be the constitution of the United States. And his successors will take the same view o f the matter. Power once seized is seldom relinquished. Tomorrow Mr. Roosevelt’s successor may be the creature o f a Ku Klux Klan party, with all th fanatical belief in racial and religious intolerance which goes with it. Racial and re­ ligious minorities in this country may well tremble at the propect which Mr.-Roosevelt has presented- —Chicago Tribune. DEMOCRATS MAY HAVE CASE OF PRICKLEY HEAT With a radical political party in the making to garner votes o f the none-de-script as an aid society for trading stock by John L. Lewis in his political deals with Franklin Roosevelt, you can get first news o f what is in the air when Rep. Gus . Kasch, radical Democrat, Akron, who introduced a resolution in the Ohio legislature asking Roosevelt to announce for a third term as president and have John L. Lewis as his vice presi­ dential running mate. If Roosevelt is elected he must agree to resign Jan. 1,1942 and turn the White House over to Lewis. With such a program being unfolded this early in the poli­ tical game those who like to consider themselves decent Demo­ crats may awake most any night and find themselves nursing a case o f prickley heat.' But the Kasch resolution is nothing more than the story back o f the break of Roosevelt and John Nance Garner, the latter leaving his seat as vice president and returning to Texas. It is hinted that Gamer had the pleasure o f being informed that he had no place in a New Deal administration and that Roosevelt to make good political promises to John L, Lewis, is paving the way for the labor leader to become the candidate on the Democratic as well the Farmer-Labor tickets for vice president, John N. Gamer did not set a precedent o f abdicating his high post for nothing. He knew when it was best to return to Texas where he is always welcome before the Communist group smeared him with the political tar stick to get him out o f the way. Today Roosevelt is both president and vice presi­ dent but helpless to legally name Lewis for Gamer’s seat, da Ovw-hidulfl'oQos te food; drink, —tobacco frequmGybrix * * over-sold MM*, CM OS StOMMfc, tom* * jotoio.

Regardless o f the Supreme Court fight Vice President John Nance Garner, is unmindful o f all his re­ sponsibilities as second in command o f the nation, by remaining non- communicative at his ranch in Texas. Gamer and Roosevelt Have parted ways on not only the court issue hut wreckless Bpending. It is said that i f the vote is fifty-fifty between the supporters o f the bill and the op­ ponents, Gamer will refuse to return to preside over the Senate where hfs vote must he cast one way or the other. By staying away on a tie vote the bill would be defeated. I f he fol­ lowed his. convictions and should de­ cide to return to Washington he prob­ ably would vote against the bill. In any event Gamer holds - the whip hand over Roosevelt. Certainly with all this Democratic opposition among the leaders the rank and file must sooner or later come to the conclusion there is something “ rotten in Den­ mark.” It is all right to expose income tax payers that have taken advantage of the loop holes in the income tax law, passed shortly after Roosevelt took the throne, A . Democratic adminis­ tration had passed the first income tax law some years before but Roosevelt wanted to make it better, that is make more business for the lawyers, Now when Republicans and anti-New Dealers use the same vehicle to cut down their taxes as Roosevelt permitted when he signed the revised law, these is .much scandal at the meiftion o f names. But when it comes to mention o f a Roosevelt, that is slander. Mrs. Roosevelt used the same hole to escape payment of income taxes but that was all right, tf there is any Democrat in these parts that has an income big enough to get to be called a slacker, let him or her follow Mrs. Roosevelt’s ex­ ample,* and see what happens. The honor that is being bestowed on Senator Viv Donahey for his stand against the court packing plan has given him as much o f the front pages o f the newspapers as even the Roose- yelt-du Pont received. It is said that 'few senators ever had as' heavy mail ps Donahey has received the past few weeks. Thousands o f letters are from Republicans and the majority from Democrats o f all brands that are not yet willing to have John Lewis dictate the decisions o f the Supreme Court through Roosevelt, Finding a loyal Democrats that is not on the govern­ ment payroll and not for Vic is n s trouble. A Democratic office holder said to the writer this week that he pay the coat o f the Communistic ex­ periment that will fail just as certain as time marches on. Twenty Enrolled In Summr School Joe E.

Two Demo­ crats were dis’eussing and cussing the numerous taxes we now have -when we joined in to remind them that tbeir own party had quite a record both in Washington and Columbus for new taxes. Our first income tax comes froth Woodrow Wilson to pay for the World .War at home and abroad. Then Ohio fell In line and the Democrats gave us classification o f property for taxation, that permitted wealthy homes to escape taxes on costly con­ veniences and low rates for certain kindB. o f investments. Meantime we get the sales tax and here one o f the party ventured tfce statement that the Republicans had to take that baby, it' felt to Ithe writer to take a few j steps and turn to the law signed by George White as governor. Since ; then wre have Democratic .license laws j .for automobile drivers that is a tax . and beginning January 1st you will be compelled to burn your old auto bill of sale and get a new Democratic certificate o f ownership that will cost you ?Sc. If there is a mortgage on the car the Democrats want 30c more, ‘ It makes no difference how long you have had the car you must contribute to the Democratic tax fund before you can get your auto tags for the car.- Then we have federal and state government taxes for social secur­ ity, three different kinds, - both branches of the government being, Democratic, all this tax is credited to that political party. There arc other taxes we have that are not mention­ ed but in a few weeks your home or your farm will be revalued for taxa­ tion and must be increased at least ten per cent, a Democratic governor vetoed a law to check the appraise­ ment. The big topic o f the week has been the methods being used by the RooSe- .velt-Lewis Communistic group to force Congress to adopt the proposed Supreme Court packing plan, The many prominent Democrats that have always been wheel-horses in the party that are opposing the court packing even by Roosevelt, under ordinary circumstance would defeat such a proposal. But with all the power of the President who uses' free spending as a club on members o f congress and threats o f organization defeat, forces many members to weaken and fall for the Rooseveit-Lewia plan, energy—you feel younger in body— .
