criticised by bya a special survey committee of ot the San Francisco Bar association are areso areso so 10 obvious that hat it is 18 a marvel the committee did not mention the remedy The fault tault Is Es l in the system of elective judges Judge The judges are in politics The fact puts judges under atron strong temptation to play to th the gallery and devise ways way and means t to get publicity Some stand up against it Some yield in g greater degree than others Then again some are arc cruder about it than others under our system the candidate with the best known name has the best chance to be elected regardless of other consid consid- Experience indicates that a candidate with a name re resembling resembling resembling re- re that of some movie star needs little other qualification The remedy is in the hands of or orthe the people To r restore store dignity to the courts take the judges out of or politics Then the judges can run the courts without having having- to think of ot the

Orgin of the Soldiers Soldiers' Bonus There is painful truth in tho the claims of ot the veterans that the others got theirs we are going to get ours Much of the powerful opposition to the veterans' veterans claims comes from the very cry people who established the precedent Every Ever Interest In tho the country that seeks a favor tavor help or protection protection pro pro- from tho the government to protect it from competition by Imposing imposing Im im- im posing a a. tariff or granting it a subsidy helped to establish this precedent The Tho taxes that will have to be imposed to pay the C CI I bonus are arc an insignificant amount as compared with the taxes that are exacted every day from the consumers of or America on the food tood they buy and the clothes they wear These
