On what basis does the Supreme
Court declare a statute void?
The Supreme Court does not pass
laws or statutes or determine
whether they are good or bad any
more than an umpire makes the
rules or declares whether they are
good or bad. The Court’s only Job,
like the umpire's, Is to make deci-
sions In accordance with the rules.
A baseball rule may seem to be
good when written but turn out bad
in practise. Experience often pro-
vides the real test. So also with a
statute passed by Congress. It may
appear satisfactory when written
but develop unconstitutional phases
when administered.
And the Supreme Court never
passes upon a statute unless chal-
lenged in Co ir» by litigants. The
Court then has before it not only the
statute as passed by Congress but
also as administered in actual cases.
Before passing judgment, It reads
and hears arguments from both
sides—(a) to sustain the statute and
ib) to show how, in actual cases. It
conflicts with the Constitution.
The Court then lays the statute as
administered in practise alongside
the people’s law—the Constitution.
If it finds the two agree, the statute
is valid. If they conflict the Court
necessarily declares that the infe-
become delinquent.
AGAINST the Amendment to the
State Constitution providing that
property shall never be assessed for
taxes at more than its fair cash mar-
ket value, and providing, that in or-
der to encourage the prompt payment
of ad valorem taxes, the Legislature
shall have t .e power to permit a dis-
count for the payment of same be-
fore they become delinquent.

stant downward revision of rates, the
fact that no nation in the world ap-
the State P10a<hes the United States in the
wide availability of electric service,
and said: "This has been accomplish-
ed through the traditional American
system of encouraging individual en-
terprise under suitable regulation
and control.” Mr. Liversidge feels
that the political maligning of the in-
dusrty is going to run its course and
that the soundness of the American
system will finally confuse the social
istic propagandists.
“Speaking of the profit system,"
he says, ‘we may theorize to our
heart’s content and draw glowing pic-
tures of ar. era of production for use
and not. for profit, but, human na-
ture being what it is, when a nation
pursues any plan in which profit is
■liminated, it will find itself building
up a loss that ultimately must prove
a hardship to the very pubic it was
endeavoring to benefit”
He points out the opportunity for
growth of the industry and the many
advantages that still remain fcr the
young men who wish to enter it as a
life work. What the industry has
done is but a sample of what it can
do in the future if private enterprise
is allowed to develop the nation’s re-
sources as in the past. If it is not
the field for young men will be limit-
ed, not only in the electric industry,
but in many other endeavors, as gov-
■rnmental regimentation curbs pri-
vate enterprise. The answer is up to
(h<- people and to the very young
men who are now considering their
future Industrial News Review.

“Americans must work nearly on?
full year out of every eight—or a-
bout six weeks out of every year—
just to pay the cost of the F’ederal
government”, says the United States
News.
“When the local and state govern-
ment costs are added to the expend-
itures of the national government,
the average American must work tv/o
years out of every eight to pay the
eost of government.
The tax collector gets a cut in ev-
ery pay check His unseen hands
reaches in and takes part of all the
money you spend—for food, amuse-
ment, clothing, train fares, power
service. And his percentage is today
greater than it ever was in peace
time in this country.
The Twentieth Century F’unds es-
timates tha ttotal governmen costs
have swelled to $ 17,000,000,00<> a
year. That is approximately 25 per
cent of th -> national income in good
times. When you work four weeks,
the pubia treasuries take ycur earn-
ings for one of the weeks.
During the next year or so we are
going to “make or break" so far aa
the tax problem is concerned. Every
branch of government spending must
be checked, from the national capitnl
to the city hall. We will have a let-up
in tax boosting when, and only when,
tne voice »f the people demands it.—
