By FRANK JENKINS
A FRIEND who specialises In
looking after Ilia own busi

about things be can't control said
to this writer the other day:
"Just what is till this supreme
court business a limit? I admit I
ought to know all about It, hut

WELL, it's like this:
There aro now nine members
of the supreme court, v.-hlch is the
interpreter of the constitution. The
constitution is the fundamental
law, which says what we can do
nnd. what we can't do. The consti

by which we nil agree to abide,
and the supremo court is the tim
Itlro. , i
Five members of the supreme
court, as at present constituted,
are a majority, and in a consider
able number of cases five mem
bers of the court have been ruling
AGAINST the New Deal, holding
its laws to be in .violation of the
constitution, and four members
have been rather generally hold
ing FOR tlie, New Deal. i,
As a result, a lot of. New Poal
laws 'have been invalidated.
IJHrtlO is tlie point of the pres

The constitution does not fix
the membership of the supreme
court. That is left to congress. So

WASHINGTON. March 12.

urged congress todny to try both
legislative remedies and constitu
tional amendments to relieve what
be called "the present intolerable

If those opposing limitations on
the power of the courts persisted,
he told the senate, It would re
sult "in the. pendtBuin swinging
farther to the other -side than pro
gressive, thinking men and women
are advocating at this time."
Without committing himself on
President Roosevelt's court hill.
NorriB listed that and seven oth

the courts without a constitution

He also listed a series of nos-

Unconstitutional,' ' Declares
Governor; T. B. Hospital

ing tbe idea of scloctUg a Jury
net uy. lot was "novel," and that it
was unconstitutional, Governor
Martin Vetoed today houso bill 88
known as tho Multnomuh county
jury measuro. " ,:
Under, the proposea-measure, In
troduced by tho Multnomah house
delegation, provision was made
that "in counties of 200,000- or
more population the Jury list shall
be selected by the clerk of , the
circuit court and such list : be
made from persons appearing on
the latest registration bookB of
the county," and "the names enter
ed upon such jury .list shall be Be-
lectod by lot from each precinct"
in proportion to the registered
voters.
The governor stated that under
the present law county courts of
each county makes a list "contain
ing names of qualified Jurors in
the county so far as it may be
able to ascerlulu the same from
the lateBt tax roll or registration
lists." .
The governor objected to the
"different method" provided for
dne county as against the methods
in other counties, which lie de
clared was unconstitutional. He
added where the constitution "pre
scribes certain qualifications," such
as the "most competent of the
permanent citizens," no other law
passed by tbe legislature was
valid.
The governor added that no oth
er state In the union permitted
Jury selection by lot.

Orr Dunbar, leader In tuberculosis

construction of such a building
outside Marlon county when funds
were made available more than
