HIGHER ON TARIFFS IMPORT BEEF BY TABOR NEEDLESS, FUTILEi COMMITTEE SAYS (Continued from Pag one.) CORVALLI8. June 14. (AP Lewis J.

( API Louis J. Taber. national Grange master, advocated higher tariffs to stop Importation of beef and live stock from the Argentine, In an ad dress here Saturday night. He contended the practice brought danger of Importation of hoof and mouth disease end other stock mal adies. LAWN MOWERS sharpened We call nd del Stms Bros, rei 361 33 N fir In itself be a dangerous precedent for the future. "The theory of the bill Is In direct violation of the spirit of the American constitution and Its employment would permit alteration of the con stitution without the people's consent or approval: It undermlnea the pro tection our constitutional system g.ves no minorities and Is subversive of the rights of Individuals. "It tends to centralize the federal district Judiciary by the power of as signing Judges from one district to snother at will. 'It tends to expand political con trol over the Judicial department by adding to the powers of the legisla tive and executive departments re specting the Judiciary Hay I-ast Message Attacking President Roosevelt's message recommending the bill, the senators said: "It should be pointed out here that a substantial portion of the message was devoted to a discussion of the evils of conflicting decisions by In ferior courts on constitutional ques tions and to the alleged abuse of the pewer of injunction by some of the federal courts. "These matters, however, have no bearing on the bill before us, for it contains neither a line nor a sentence dealing with either of these problems." They described the bill aa "totally Inadequate" to meet any of the other objectives of the president. Denying that It would relieve congestion In the courts, they said: "The facte indicate that the court with the oldest Judges have the best records In the disposition of busi ness. It follows, therefore, that alnce that since there are comparatively few aged Justices in service and these are among the most efficient on the bench, the age of sitting Judges does not make necessary an increase of personnel to handle the business of the courts." No Itinerant Judges. The report opposed the bill s pro vision for assigning Judges to crowd ed districts Instead of legislating di rectly to provide more Judges where needed. This, it said, would create "a flying squadron of itinerant Judges appointed for districts and circuits where they are not needed to be transferred to other parts of the country for Judicial service.' Adding that this would be "a vio lation of the salutary American cus tom that all public officials should be citizens of the Jurisdiction In which they nerve" the report sug gested the system would make It pos sible to select "particular Judges to try particular cases." The report, turning to tho presi dent's argument for the "Infusion of new blood," said the bill "sets up Insuperable obstacles to the 'con-1 stant' or 'persistent operation that principle. on the court, they could not be replaced except by a new law fur ther expanding the court or by constitutional amendment. Offers No Remedy. It thus appears," the majority reported, "that the bill before us does not with certainty provide for increasing the personnel of the fed eral Judiciary, doea not remedy the laws delay, does not serve the in terest of the 'poorer litigant' and does not provide for the 'constant' or 'persistent Infusion of new blood' into the Judiciary. What, then, doea It do? "The answer Is clear. Xt applies force to the Judiciary, it Is an at tempt to lmpoae upon the courta a course of action, a line of decision which, without that force, without that Imposition, the Judiciary might not aaopi." Pratsing the checks and balances of the American system of govern ment, the majority said: "It is immeasurably more Import ant, immeasurably more sacred to the people of America, Indeed, to the people of all the world than the immediate adoption of any legisla tion 'however beneficial. "If we yield to the temptation now to lay the lash upon the court, we are only teaching others how to apply it to ourselves and to the people when the occasion seems to warrant."1 The committee majority analyzed past cnangea in the size of the court, arguing that "thla bill is an Inva sion of Judicial power such as has never before been attempted in this country." Plan Called "Bold." This Is the first time in the his tory of our country It added "that a proposal to alter the decisions of the court by enlarging lta personnel has been so boldly made. Let us meet It. Let us now set a salutary precedent that will never be vio lated." In regard to the independent Ju diciary, the committee said "reduc tion of tho degree of the aupremacy of law means an increasing enlarge ment of the degree of personal gov ernment." "Personal government, or govern ment by an Individual it added, "means autocratic dominance, by whatever name It may be designated. Autocratic dominance was the very thing against which the American colonies revolted, and to prevent which the constitution was In every particular framed' The committee said only four stat utes enacted by the Roosevelt ad ministration had been declared un constitutional with three or more dissenting votea end only 11 statutes or parts of law altogether had been Invalidated out of 2699. "Inconvenience and even delay In tho enactment of legislation Is not a heavy price to pay for our system," It argued. "Constitutional democracy moves forward with certainty rather than with speed." Noting repeated instances in which the supreme court had protected in dividual liberty, the report said they would have been Impossible without an Independent Judiciary, and that the bill involved every protection in the "bill of rights."
