Washington.—More perhaps than
ever before in our country's BistorYs
. the courts of the
The President , ation, federal
and the Court and state, are in
a jam. They are
being subjected to a greater strain
than ever before and, I think, the
strain is too great for them long to
continue to bear it.
That sentence sounds sensational.
It is meant to be. In the opinion of
many sound thinkers, men and
women of vision, there has never
been a time when a wave or surge
has attacked the courts or any other
American institution with such fe-
rocity.
One of the reasons the situation is
to be regarded with so much con-
cern is President Roosevelt's latest
request of congress for a reorgani-
zation of the judiciary system. He
is asking for more judges every-
where which, of itself, seems en-
proper, but the message
astounded observers by proposing
an increase in the membership of
the Supreme court of the United
States to fifteen. That is to say
that if it were enacted into law, Mr.
Roosevelt's own proposal would
give him authority to select six ad-
unal. Inasmuch as the present
membership of the court has re-
fused a number of times to hold
New Deal legislation valid under
the Constitution, it takes no stretch
of the imagination at all to figure
out that Mr. Roosevelt's proposal
would give him authority to select a
sufficient number of new justices
so that the New Deal would hold
the balance of power in the highest
court of the judiciary of the coun-
try.
There may be and probably is
merit in the President's proposal
that judges should retire at seventy
years of age. It happens that the
present membership of the court in-
cludes six men who are above that
age and a statute compelling re-
tirement at seventy would make six
added vacancies in the court unless
the present court should find that
this law itself is unconstitutional in
one regard. The judges are ap-
pointed for life and they cannot be
removed without cause — which
means they must be impeached by
congress and tried.
The message respecting reorgani-
zation of the judiciary system was
by far the most sensational to come
from Mr. Roosevelt as President.
He pointed out in it that he had
proposed reorganization of the ex-
ecutive branch of the government so
that it might function more effi-
ciently. The next step, he said,
was to reorganize the judiciary so
that it could administer justice
more speedily. But there are many
minds throughout the country which
find it difficult to believe that the
necessity for speedy justice is the
fundamental reason for the new pro-
posal.
It is too early to tell, of course,
how congress will act on the Presi-
dent's suggestion, but the more as-
tute observers here are quite con-
vinced that such legislation cannot
go through without a bitter debate.
The political implications are many.
If a real struggle develops in the
house or the senate, it is not out-
side the range of a good guess to
predict that it could split the tre-
mendous Democratic majority
asunder in either house. If it did
that once, undoubtedly enmities and
factions would be created that
would continue through the remain-
der of the President's new term and
only the passage of time can dis-
close how far reaching such a thing
might be.
But let us review for a moment
some of the background of the con-
ditions that have preceded the Pres-
ident's sensational proposal. There
have been sniping and bushwhack-
ing at the judiciary for a number of
years and this was thrown into high
speed by the President himself
when the Supreme court threw out
the NRA. On that occasion, Mr.
Roosevelt made the well remem-
bered remark that the decision had
taken us back to ‘‘the horse and
buggy days.”
There followed an uproar by a
vocal minority of radicals and per-
sons who claimed to be liberal.
They attacked the Supreme court
for throwing out New Deal meas-
ures, ridiculed the justices as ‘‘the
nine old men” and proceeded in
general to spread poison to all and
sundry about the country’s judicial
system. On top of that came Mr.
Roosevelt's speech to congress last
month in which he made a virtual
demand upon the Supreme court for
“a more enlightened interpretation
of the Constitution.” That was an
unprecedented thing but it was not
nearly so sensational as the present
problem.

I said earlier that the courts could
not continue long to bear the pres-
ent burden of attack. That burden
which they carry now results large-
ly—and this is especially true of
the Supreme court of the United
States—from the fact that congress
has ceased to
body. It has tossed great chunks
of undigested legislation at the
courts and when the courts have
held these laws unconstitutional, a
bunch of nitwits each time has un-
leashed a great howl. It would seem
then that the proper conclusion is
that the nine old men are not older

doing they must defend the courts.

In any discussion of congress and
its activities, I find time to do
a little laughing.
Laughs Are Through the last
Loud Today
several weeks, a
period when floods
were raging and people were dying,
when thousands upon thousands
walked the streets without jobs,
when other thousands walked the
streets because a militant labor
leader had called a strike and had
permitted his strikers to violate
laws of the land by seizure of prop-
erty—while all of these things were
happening, our congress was giving
thought to a picayune proposition.
It was discussing a bill providing
for alterations of the Capitol build-

ing.
for all of the offices required now
or for the next half century.
I said the tragedy of the thing
was that this proposal stands a fair
chance of passing through congress.
Sponsors of the plan declare it
will improve the appearance of the
central portion of the old building,
It may do that but I have found
more architects who disagree than
agree with that thought.
As for the office space argument,
it would appear that somebody in
congress is quite determined simply
to spend some more money. It is
to be remembered that only two
years ago, the house of repre.
sentatives built a second office
building at a cost of $9,000,000 for
its members. About the same time,
the senate added a wing to the
senate office building so that each
senator could have three rooms
whereas heretofore the average sen-
ator had only two rooms in his
suite. Committee chairmen always
have had three or more rooms. In
addition, there are several hundred
offices in the Capitol Miilding itself
and a goodly number of senators
and represenistives have private of-
fices in the Capitol as well as in
the office buildings. So altogether,
I think there is just ground for say-
ing, as one hears said frequently,
that the congresses of the last few
years much resemble boys who
have received too many toys in one
delivery. They don’t know what to
do with themselves.
