THE supreme court decision up
holding the Wagner labor relations
act la of tremendous Importance to
every citizen for theae reasons:
1. The decision's political algnltl
cance. a. The Wagner labor relations act
Itself.
NOTE, please, that political signifi
cance la placed first. It BELONOS
first.
The court (meaning by that a MA
JORITY of the court) goes contrary
to Its previous reasoning on a ques
tlon of primary Importance the scope
of Interstate Commerce. The Wagner
decision vastly Increases the powera
of the federal government and corres
pondlngly decreaaea the powers of the
states. v
It waa refusal of the court (that Is,
a majority of It) to rule aa It has
NOW ruled In regard to Interstate
commerce that brought on President
Roosevelt's threat to Increase the
membership.
"If, Is the peculiar conditions now
facing us, we persist In the opinions
we have thus far hett, we may In
vite reprlaals that will ao weaken our
system of government as to pave the
way to a dictatorship. Let us there
fore ADAPT our opinions to the new
conditions that have arisen and so
ward off thla danger and RETAIN our
Institutions In the form In which
they have been handed down to us."
rls not Intended to say here that
this did happen. The purpose Is
merely to suggest thst It MIGHT ITave
happened. And If It did happen, who
will say that the agreement so arrived
at was not a patriotic one?

lirHT did the court change Its (the
TT majortty'a) previously expressed
opinions on the scope of Interstate
commerce?
That la a question no one outside
the supreme court can answer, but it
LOOKS aa If the purpose wu to head
off, If possible, ohangea In our system
of government that are so funda
mental In their nature aa to hold
grave dingers for the future.
LET us put It more plainly:
The president has said, In effect,
to the supreme court: "Since you
have refused to rule as I wish, I pro
pose to appoint enough sew Judges
to make aura that I will GET the
kind of ruling I want."
In spite of able opposition, it seems
probable that he has power enougn
over oongresa to mats good his threat.
Making good his threat would have
done Irreparable damage to the sys
tem of ohecks and balances under
which thla country has grown up and
become great.
It would have demonstrated tne
power of the executive to OVER
THROW the legislative and Judicial
branches and make the executive SUPREME.
THUS the road leading to dictator
ship would have baen made
CLEAR AND PLAIN.
Thla writer, even In his gloomiest
moments, does not believe that Presi
dent Roosevelt aspires to dictator
ship. But hit rdcoeaeor MAT. Roose
velt's successor might be John L.
Lewis.
There ere few who will doubt John
L. lewli' Inclination toward dictator
ship. the aupreme court. In Ita prl

that If it wanted a tax mil. it woura
have to get another congressional
leader to handle It.
That threat will not be carried out,
but It reflects the deep bitterness of
all congressional leaders to the
thought of additional taxation. Tney
want to pass a resolution continuing
excise taxes which expire soon, and
let It go at that.
The warmth of their opposition and
other considerations have delayed as
to whether there Is to be a tax bill.
The decision will be made around

The only one who had an unkind
word to say immediately about the
Wagner decisions was John Lewis, who

nation stt up.
No one In the know considered It
strange that the leader of labor thus
denounced labors great victory in
the courts.
If the decision Is fairly enforced by
the labor relations hoard, Mr. Lewis;

He will lose his pewar to call sit-down

and hours. Hi political prestige will
wane.
The board will become the dictator.

Justice Stone was absent. Mr, Stone
clearly hinted, m his questioning ot
counsel during recent arguments,
that he believes the tax should be
upheld.
Few accept seriously the suggestion
that the court might change It mind
again, or that wage and hour legisla
tion might be declared unconstitu
tional, carefully drawn.

from the 1938 crop of tomatoes was
packed an exact total of 2,371,104
cans of tomftoea, tomato Juice and
other tomato products.
In the northwest territory the year
ly consumption of canned tomatoes
and tomato Juice la conservatively
estimated anywhere from 600.000 to
000,000 cases and up. Something less
than 300,000 casea are produced In
the area, approximately hBlf of which
production Is actually packed In one
cannery In Ashland.
The best and nearest available
market for these tomatoes are Port
land and the Willamette valley. Prin
cipal competition comes out of Cali
fornia, where In 1036 practically one
alxth of the entire nation's pack of
canned tomatoea waa produced, and
where also one-sixth of the entire
nation's pack of tomato Juice was
made. Thla makes competition ex
ceptionally keen and Implies an ap.

source, there are the vast undevel

But authorised spokesmen express
