- THU BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1936 rr Need Calculator To Figure —— Deductions, Minimum. Credits| and Service Time Limits Are Considered ¥ World War veterans who try to figure out whether or not their ponus ‘was correctly figured are “up against it,” according to C. T. Hoverson, man- ager of the U. S. Veterans Facility at Fargo, in a létter to the Tribune. How to figure the bonus was asked of Hoverson by The Tribune after several Bismarck veterans had com- mented on apparent discrepancies in their adjusted service certificates. In computing the bonus, Hoverson said, 1t must be remembered that the first thing the government, did was to deduct the $60. given each veteran upon his discharge. A second thing to remember is that credit is given only for service between April 5, 1917, and July 1, 1919, even though many veterans were overseas after that date and others still were in the service on this side of the ocean. Maximum Credits Set Another thing which enters into the computation is that the maximum credit for domestic service is $500 and fot overseas service $625. This fact alone will explain many apparent discrepancies. } In checking the certificates, Hover- son said, the first. thing to do is to calculate the veterans service credit. ‘Taking the case of a man who en- Usted July 1, 1917, and was discharged Dec, 16, 1918; but who served. only in this country, it is ascertained that he served one year, five months and 16 days, or 531 days. . From this 60 is subtracted for dis- charge mohey, leaving 471 days at $1 @ day or a credit of $471. In 1918 the average veteran was 24 years and four months old, and on Jan. 1, 1925, when the certificates were issued, he was 31 years and six months old. Multiply by 214 Using the $471, as a single premium payment for a 20-year-endowment insurance policy, it is estimated that the face of the policy would be about two and one-half times the amount of the credit or $1,177.50. If the man were younger the amount would be more. If he were older it would be less, this part of the certificate being figured according to actuarial prin- ciples, since the bonus certificate was really an insurance policy. To figure out the amount of a cer- tificate, therefore, requires actuarial knowledge which few men have, Hov- erson pointed out. He suggested that @ practical method would be to ascer- tain the amount of the adjusted serv- ice credit and multiply by two and one-half, remembering to deduct the $60 cash given at discharge and to observe the other precautions listed.

D., January 28, 1936. | Editor, Tribune: In your issue of January 24th you express, as a sort of a postlude to an article by Florence Borner, the idea that to abridge the power of the | supreme court of the United States | would be to scrap the constitution. Where, Mr. Editor, is the passage in the constitution which gives the su- preme court the right, either express or implied, to pass upon the constitu- tionality of laws passed by congress? A careful perusal of that document fails to reveal any such powers grant- ed to the supreme court. i In Article IIT, Section 2, paragraph | 2, are defined the powers of the su- preme court in these words: “The supreme caurt shall have appellate Jurisdiction both as to law and fact with such exceptions and under such regulations as the congress: shall | make.” The wording of this section shows that the framers of the constitution rather leaned toward the theory that congress was, if‘ anything, a superior | branch of government, and for some 20 years after the establishment of} the republic the supreme court func- | tioned as the constitution prescribed. i But with the appointment of John Marshall as chief justice in 1801 a change begins to be discernible. and the supreme court took unto itself prerogatives never dreamed of by the constitutional convention. In the words of one historian: | “Marshall found the constitution paper and he made it power; he found it a skeleton and clothed it with flesh and blood.” That this power and its dangers! were early’ recognized is revealed in | contemporary hietory. Writing in 1807, William Thompson, a close | associate of Jefferson, says: “Marshall | has erected the tomb of tyranny upon | the tomb of freedom; he is a disgrace to the bench of justice; he has pros- | trated the dignity of the chief justice | of this government.” And Jefferson | it himself, whose mantle Alfred Smith | . and the rest of the Liberty Leaguers like to wrap around themselves, says; in a letter dated in 1820: “You seem to consider the judges CONSTIPATED: After Her First Baby Finds Relief Safe, All- bowel and int : ‘This all- | Tasative geauy sisouisies the entire { bowel, givescom- \ ps ico TO-NICHT WH os 2c box.

Their maxim is: ‘A judge amplifies his jurisdiction,’ and their power is the more dang- erous as they are in office for life and not responsible to the people as are other functionar- ies.. When legislative and execu- tive functionaries act unconstitu- tionally they are responsible to the people in their elective capac- ity. The exception of the judges from that is dangerous enough. I know no safe depository of the. ultimate powers of society but the’ people themselves, and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise it with wholesome dis- cretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform them by education.” But the arrogation and assumption. of power went on and, although many times reversing itself, the supreme court continued to review acts of con- gress. One of its decisions was a very !| deciding influence in plunging this country into a bloody civil war. At the close of this war, however, when it became apparent that the supreme court, which was dominated by a combination of small capitalists and chattel slavery interests, would use these powers to nullify certain acts of congress which permitted the sys- {tematic looting of the prostrate | southern states by legalized racketeers under the guise of reconstruction, con- gress on March 27th, 1868, passed a law threatening members of the su- preme court with fines and imprison- ment if they attempted to interfere with the carrying out of such legisla- tion and notified that body that this legislation was not subject to review as to its constitutionality. The supreme court at once recog- nized the right or power of congress to so curb the judicial department of the government and dismissed the cases which were before it, thereby completely puncturing the bubble up- on which this autocratic power rests, Sq all that is necessary to legalize the AAA is to re-enact the Agricul- tural Adjustment act with this clause added: “In accord with Paragraph: 2, Section 2, Article III of the constitu- by the act passed over the President's veto on March 27, 1868, the exercise of jurisdiction by any federal court upon the validity or constitutionality of this act is hereby expressly for- bidden.” It apears from reports of. the delib- jerations of the agricultural committee | of congress that it is very doubtful if any legislation of any benefit to agri- culture will get by the supreme court.
