THE OREGON DAILY -JOURNAL; PORTLAND, OREGON TUESDAY, MAY 21, KZl. TAFT AS CHIEF JUSTICE WOULD WIELD INFLUENCE By Norman Hapgood TniTcre Arrrfc. Staff Cotmwxmdent Washington. May 24. IX William Howard Taft becomes chief Justice of the supreme court, as eeems like ly, he may exercise more lastfnsr In fluence than he did during most of his term president. ; The chief justice has no more to say about decisions than any associate Jus lice, but he uslrna the writing; of the opinions, which means something;. Aiso, he is responsible for keeping the work moving:. That in a point at which Chief Justice White was strong; He . worked and made others work. .- - But the great Influence I speak of does not rest on being; chief. It rests on being; the ninth man on the court. This is the only nation in the world tri which nine men, appointed for life, tell . the people what they are permit ted to do. BIO ISSUES LOOM Just now the big; cases turn on ecor nomip and industrial issues. Back in Cleveland's time the court was able to prevent an income tax. At present the reactionary e'ement on it Is princi pally occupied in preventing; legisla tion to broaden the rights of labor and in preventing legislation to limit certain uses of property against the public welfare. The court is so evenly divided - that the new appointee may turn the scale. Taft will be 64 years old when the court goes to work after its summer recess. He himself laid down the rule that a man ought not be appointed after 80. President Wilson announced and acted on the same rule. -SLATES TENTATIVE .The gossip that Justice' McKenna or Justice Day may be made, chief Is presumably without any . foundation. If the place is to be filled from within the court, there is no excuse for se lecting anybody except Holmes. The slates prepared by the admin istration jire conceded to be highly tentative. It seems to be certain, how ever, that ex-Senator Sutherland is to go on the court, but that he is to wait until a successor ia needed to Justice McKenna. Mr. Sutherland is 59. He declined . the . position of solicitor gen eral, important as. that office is. In "deciding on this appointment, Tresident Harding will, as a formality, act in consultation with his attorney general. As a matter of fact, however, the person who' Is most likely , tof be seriously consulted by him is Secre tary Hughes. Mr. Hughes has not only been on the . court himself, but when he was pried away from private practice to accept hia present position he was the acknowledged head of the American bar. HUGHES COS8IDEBEB A - well-known professor in one of our leading law schools writea me that he thinks Hughes ought to go' on the court, no matter? how Important is his influence in the cabinet- Most "people. however, think he haa no right at pres-t enX to lay down hia present work, and I do not believe; be will consider iU There are comparatively few young men who have fully proved their quali fications. Such are Roscoe Pound, dean of the Harvard law school, who halls from Nebraska and is Si, and Judge Iiearned Hand of New York, who is 49. ' - 'V,.-' ::: But no such original : appointments will be made. The place .will doubtless go to Mr. Taft, and he is expected to make a good record. His legal stand ing is excellent. i Local Rotary Club Bids Farewell to It's Scotland Delegates With former i President J. I Wright as chairman of the day, the Portland Rotary club Tuesday noon at the Ben son hotel will formally bid farewell to its delegates to the international Ro tary convention in Edinburgh, Scotland.
