when reLloyd George and Asquith turned to power In repeated national elections got the king’s consent to "pack" the house of lords and thus gave the democratic pftrty of the British government f mat authority to lay taxes to provide for the general welfare of the British pqpple Although the Roosevelt administration talks learnedly about what previous presidents did in the way of "packing" the supreme court there is no doubt that the Lloyd George budget fight of prewar England is the real precedent which Mr Roosevelt has in mind in his proposal to add six new justices to the supreme court He has leaned heavily on British experience in other matters of social legislation and most important of all the Lloyd George affair occurred at the same time when Wilson's — "new freedom" — was bringing F D R into national politics By temperament and background the president is inclined to follow the flexible British technique of overcoming a Stubborn obstacle to social reform The chief difference Is that where the British people found their enemy in the house of lords we have'our “house of lawyers” In England economic privilege hid behind the false whiskers of the peers of the realm whereas without nine peers of the bar economic privilege cloaks itself in contorted legalism of a sort which makes the schoolmen of mediveal Europe look like "Simple Simon” And the Meredith NichoLons

expected hinted In one of his 1932 campaign speeches when he referred tor Tory control of the supreme court and drew an angry yell from Mr Herbert C Hoover who was then the Republican candidate for the presidency of the United States That very well informed book “The New Dealers" by "The Unofficial Observer" which appeared early in 1934 when everyso far thing was still hotsy-tots- y as concerned the new deal’s constitutional bowl of cherries contained a highly prophetic passage which is worth quoting today three years later: the court is not invulnerable Its present membership of nine can be enlarged by act of congress There is nothing in the MV Roosevelt's constitution' requiring that its members be lawyers There is in the constitution connothing ferring on them the right to decide that an act Of congress is unconstitutional The court has been known to watch the election returns and old age has been known to remove even emperors from their thrones Uses Comparison The court is more nearly comparable to the British house of lords than is the senate When the house of lords has blocked its membership has progress' been enlarged The same thing has happened to the supreme court before this when Lincoln and the Republican revolution came into power in 1861 It can happen again and will happen if thecourt attempts to balka really revolutionary process cbnducted under peaceful

traffic by the department of commerce lend weight to the hopes for the future In 1936 Salt Lake City air passenger traffic increased 47 per cent over 1935 as compared with a national increase of 37 per rent At the same time air express showed an increase of 36 per cent while the airmail increase Of 30jDer cent was so laudable it earned for Post master I A Smoot the encomiums of Postmaster

of Chicago no city holds a more important place ii the network of transconti nental and branch lines than Salt Lake City While lines operate over a northern route and again over a southern route Salt Lake City remains the distribution point for mail express and passenger loads for the entire west Its position is made secure by its availability equally to Seattle nd Portland San Francisco and Los Angeles Even in the picture of new “nonstop” traffic across the nation Salt Lake City can hardly be eliminated for to be made profitable it should be avaii- able to all Pacific ostpaints and this can be best accomplished With Salt Lake City as the transfer point Airline operators carried 1020931 passengers in the United States in 1936 against a figure of 746946 during 1935 There were 435502283 passenger miles flown during the year Despite several dramatic air crashes toward the end of the year air transportation ia growing safer department of commerce figures reveal In the first six months of 1935 throughout the entire nation there were only 41 passengers lost to 41517092 passenger miles traveled a safety figure which compares favorably with those of any transportation medium There were 1012612 passenger miles flown for every passenger lost and 691951 miles for every aircraft accident for the six month's period Figures for the full year are not yet available The public attitude toward air accidents has become exceed- ingly fair and quite philosophical Only recently several accidents within a short period of time failed to affect air traffic to any great extent There is something dramatic about flying and of course an air accident develops a dramatic story which is read avidly by the public For some time this was reflected in the public mind With a fear of the traffic Indisputable figures of the department of commerce however show that air travel at the present day is as safe as that of any system of transportation in its early stages Critics with profit
