Recall of Judicial Decisions
Recent Supreme Court decisions have brought out
various proposals in Congress on curbing the Court.
They bring back to mind the recall of judicial de
cisions that was a hot political issue 45 years ago.
At that time the outcry
so much for protecting Leftists as for favoring vested
interests. The outciy came to a head nationally in
1912. Ex-President Theodore Roosevelt as third party
candidate for President called for an appeal to the
people against state courts invalidating state laws.
The recall of elected officials who had a poor
record in office' was, along with the initiative and
referendum, to the fore in many states. The recall
provisions adopted by Michigan, Idaho and Louisiana
excluded judges, but Colorado applied the recall to
judicial decisions.
DOOSEVELT'S Progressive party platform in 1912
demanded that when courts had invalidated "an
act passed under the police power of the state," the
people should have a chance to vote on "whether they
desire the act to become law, notwithstanding such
decision." They should be able to "safeguard" the
Constitution from those bent on its "perversion."
President Taft, later to be Chief Justice, had
vetoed an act of Congress for statehood for Arizona
because the Arizona constitution provided for recall
of judges. That provision had to be deleted before
Arizona was admitted as a state. And the 1912 Re
publican platform, on which Taft ran (behind both
Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson) for re-election, de
clared for "preserving inviolate" the powers of the
courts, both federal and state, to enforce their pro
cess" under "constitutional provisions" which the
people could always amend. E.R.R.
Treasury Surplus
This is the second fiscal year in a row in which
the Eisenhower administration has produced a budget
surplus. The one for 1956 was $1.6 billion and the
one estimated for next year, 1958, is $1.8 billion.
Secretary of the Treasury George M. Humphrey in
sists that a surplus of around $2 billion is too small to
justify a tax cut.
' The budgetaiy deficit was no less than $9.4 billion
in the first fiscal year, 1953, of the Eisenhower ad
ministration. However, half of that year and prac
tically all its commitments for expenditures fell under
the Truman administration. The deficit was reduced
to $3.1 billion in 1954, then rose slightly, to $4.2
billion, in 1955.
A deficit was registered in the last three of the
four years of the Hoover administration, in all 12
years under F. D. Roosevelt, in five of the eight years
of the Truman administration. The $8.4 billion surplus
realized in the fiscal year 1948 set off a substantial
tax reduction. E.R.R.

that they possess the secrets of
history, no Marxist .foresaw, or
could have foreseen, what now
goes by the name of socialism
in Yugoslavia.
The only thing we know for

Khrushchev does not know, he
cannot know, what will develop
in Russia in 10 years, much less
in America in 30 years.
The Communist world from
China to Yugoslavia and Poland,
including Russia itself, is not
proceeding according to some
grand plan, revealed by Marx
and Lenin, which leads to a com
mon end: the various Commu
nist regimes are feeling their
way, seeking remedies and solu
tions for their tactical difficul
ties, and they are rationalizing
the absence of a grand and uni
versal principle by saying that
there are many roads to social
ism. As they take these many
and differing roads, they will
become many and differing so
cieties. -
r
F NO one knows what social
ism will be like in two gen
erations, neither does anyone
know what the American econ
omy will be like. It will, of
course, not be like the Russian
or the Chinese today. We can
be sure of that because the con
trolling principle in both Russia
and in China is the rapid and
forced development of an eco
nomically and technologically
backward country. The Ameri
can economy, as Communist
thinkers themselves often say
has long since reached a stage
ofdevelopment which Russia is
still struggling to reach, which
China has hardly begun to ap
proach.
So we can be sure that while
our grandchildren will experi
ence great changes in the Ameri
can economy, these changes will
not be a reaction to and a re
capitulation of the Russian and
Chinese experience. Commu
nism may represent a future
to a primitive country like
China. But for America, Com
munism is irrelevant, having
nothing to do with our highly
advanced and complex economy.
fFHE American social order has
changed greatly in this cen
tury, so greatly that terms like
capitalism and free enterprise
and competition, which come
down to us from the nineteenth
century, no longer describe our
economy intelligibly.
There have been the wars, and
the rise of the United States as
a world power with a great
military establishment. There
has been the fabulous, indeed
explosive, increase of the Ameri
can population. There has been
not only the deep and wide
technological development, but,
with the organization of scien
tific research, a radically new
pace in the application of sci
ence. There has been also, so at
least it seems to me, a non
violent but nevertheless revo
lutionary change in the inner
principle of our own social
economy. This is the new prin

saic name of "full employment"
the imperative that the gov
ernment must use the fiscal and
other powers of the state to
keep the demand for labor at
least equal to the supply.
Until the present generation
this principle was unknown to,
much less was it the policy of,
the United States or any other
capitalist nation. Its adoption
marks a profound change. It
would not in my view be an
exaggeration to say that it has
brought about a revolution in
the West which has made the
Communist revolutionary propa
ganda irrelevant and anti
quated. For when the government is
committed to the maintenance
of full employment, the bargain
ing power of labor is under
written. This means a decisive
change in the balance of forces
within our society.
THE i
ploy
new principle of full em-
yment was formulated dur
ing the great depression between
the two world wars. Its tech
nique is based on the discovery
during the first World War that
a government can promote pro
duction, regardless of the gold
supply, by managing credit and
the currency. The impulse to
apply the technique of war
finance to the peace-time econ
omy came from the huge unem
ployment and the vast misery
of the great depression. The com
mitment to the new policy comes
from the voters who, having
learned- that unemployment can
be prevented, will not tolerate
any government which does not
prevent it.
Although the principle of full
employment was worked out
under Roosevelt and Truman, it
is now national policy from
which no public man, who ex
pects to have a future, would
think of dissenting.

the full consequences of the new
principle. But in all probability,
it is the real reason why it ap

Where Were The Flags?
io the editor: I would like
to ask the people of Medford
"Where were our flags July 4?'
In the entire downtown district
of Medford I was able to find
eight flags where usually on a
national holiday of such impor
tance you can find that many
on one block!
One of- the real pleasures of
a national holiday is seeing the
flag proudly flying everywhere
you look. This thrill of patriotic
pride is not soon forgotten and
even if you don't realize what
it is you feel. Independence
Day seems unreal and lost some
how when it's gone.
We forget what our flag stands
for and we feel foolish at show
ing our patriotism. Very few of
us remember to clap when the
flag passes in parade or on the
screen.
As a child I remember the
thrill I got by joining my coun
trymen in honoring the flag.
That was during World War II.
Do we only remember in time of
great national strife? Perhaps
if we showed our patriotism
more freely there would be few
er who doubted their country
when they had to face dying for
it.
Ours is a great nation and
ours is a beautiful and inspiring
flag. Instead of a "new burst of
freedom", let's have a new burst
of patriotism and perhaps our
flag will not be forgotten again

The United States, Canada,
Great Britain and France pre

of proposals which could lead to

The proposals were made in
the five-nation United Nations

Briefly, the proposals called
for a suspension of tests of nu

would be tied in with negotia

nuclear weapons and a reduction
in armed forces and convention

Harold Stassen, chief U. S.

that the test-suspension period

Turnpike Bonds Eyed
By Roger W. Babson
By ROGER W. BABSQN
Babson Park, Mass. Since
my return from the South,
have been making a study of
turnpike bonds
and other non
taxable invest
ments. Casual
readers of this
column may
not realize that
non taxable
bonds are
around their
itsaaasssJ lowest prices
Bocer W Babson for a long
number of years. As an illustra
tion, the State of Massachusetts
highly rated bonds carrying the
full faith and credit of the State,
free of all Federal and State
taxes, which sold at par in 1950
can now be bought around 65.
This is the lowest price in their
history.
This decline is due to the
constantly increasing interest
rates of the past several years.
mere is no other logical reason
While the stock market has been
climbing since 1949 (when the
Dow-Jones Industrial Average
was around 165, in contrast to
today's level of around 500)
bonds have been declining. Yet
the bond market is just as sus
ceptible to the Law of Action
and Reaction as the stock mar
ket. When stocks are clearly in
a bear movement and money
rates decline, bonds will again
go up in price. Therefore, non
taxable bonds may be in the pos-
sition -today that the blue chips
were eight years ago when they
were selling at a third of their
present prices.
Certain banks and other in
stitutions which are large bond
buyers state that there are reas
ons other than increased inter
est rates why municipal bonds
are selling so low. Due to the
possibility of World War III,
some of the savings institutions
have been selling the bonds of
large cities, especially industrial
cities which could be targets for
bombing. At the same time,
these institutions have found it
very difficult to sell the unlisted
bonds of small cities and towns,
even though they are perfectly
safe and yield around 4 per cent
income-tax-free.
What About Turnpike Bonds?
I believe Turnpike Bonds
should be a logical exemption to
the above situation. They have
both security and marketability.
The conservative financial insti
tutions say they do not like

Dulles said at a press conference
in Washington that his East-West
foreign policy was based on the
belief that the Communist dicta
torships in Soviet Russia and
China would be replaced, in
time, by governments respon
sible to their peoples.
Dulles said he did not mean
that the Soviet and Red Chinese
regimes would be overthrown.
Nor, he said, was he speaking
in terms of "one year, five years,
10 years."
Such governments might con
tinue to be Communist. or So
cialist, as they actually call
themselves Dulles said. But he
cited Yugoslavia as a, country
which, while still Communist, is
not a part of what he called "the
international Communist con
spiracy" and is tending toward
liberalism.
"American policy is conduct
ed on the assumption . . . that
free governments in the long
run are going to prevail and
despotic governments in the long
run are going to go under,"
Dulles said.
In a gigantic strategic reor
ganization, the United States
gave Adm. Felix B. Stump su
preme command of military op
erations land, sea and air
throughout the Pacific and East
Asia. Stump's headquarters will
continue to be in Hawaii, where
he has commanded the Pacific
Fleet.
As part of the shift, head
quarters of the Far East Army

them because they are revenue
bonds, dependent upon the earn
ings of the turnpike. Yet, every
corporation bond is a revenue
bond, depending upon earnings.
The non-taxable feature of turn
pike bonds, however, far ex
ceeds the slight risk of declin
ing earnings. Of all the turn
pike bonds, however, far ex
cured by the West Virginia
Turnpike which "starts no
where," has failed to make good.
I admit that with rationing of
gasoline in the event of World
War III, turnpikes would tem
porarily be in trouble; but so
would almost everything else.
No bombing, however, could ma
terially damage a modern turn
pike. Recently, the Boston & Maine
Railroad canceled all its com
muter business bacause of the
strike by the maintenance men.
It would take a strike of several
months' duration by Turnpike
maintenance men before their
services would be missed. Prac
tically the only necessary em
ployees of a Turnpike Authori
ty are those who collect the tolls.
And I cannot imagine these men
striking. Turnpikes are there
fore less liable than most invest
ments to suffer from labor trou
bles. The Autmobila Industry
One of today s fastest growing
industries is the Automobile In
dustry, and our turnpikes must
prosper along with it. Not only
are new cars put out by the
millions each year, but boys in
a very old Ford must pay the
same toll as those riding in new
Cadillacs! Everyone wants to
save time, and also it is very
much safer driving on a six-
lane modern turnpike.
These turnpikes can never be
built for less than their present
cost. Therefore, the Government
in its new Road-Building Pro
gram, should be glad to take
over any of these turnpikes and
then pay the bondholders in full.
I am also told that the present
thought in Washington is to
spend funds on widening and
straightening present two-lane
highways to make them four-
lane and six lane roads, rather
than putting all the money into
new turnpikes. Eighty per cent
of the accidents today occur on
unnecessary hills and curves.
The most inconsistant investors
today are those who are buying
taxable General Motors stock
and refusing to buy non-taxable
Turnpike bonds!
