Criticises Supreme Court. Washington, May 20. Caustlo criti cism of the United States supreme court for "unconstitutional usurpa tion of legislative authority" was voiced in the house today by Repre sentative Allen of Ohio. Allen declared the Arizona consti tutional provision for the recall of Judges was an outgrowth of the gen eral distruBt of the courts and tha feeling that it is necessary to provide a method of checking Judges from as suming executive and legislative powers. "This week," he said, "we have wit nessed a public .protest against the decision of the highest court in the land. The statute they considered makes no strict reference to reasona ble or unreasonable restraints upon trade. Numerous attempts to amend that statute by including the word 'unreasonable' have repeatedly failed. I rejoice thnt we have one member of that court who opposed his fellows with the assertion that the Judiciary should not attempt to legislate but only to pass decision upon what the legislative arm of the government had enacted."
