It has been due to the increasing tendency to place power directly in the hands of the people and on that basis it has been justi- fied. But the returns from the no-party ballot in the recent pri- mary election prove definitely that the Republican form of gov- ernment still is popular. Some of the measures offered doubtless had merit, vet all of them were beaten. The answer to this lies in the fact that the voters resented the fact that they were called upon to decide issues which could be justly determined only after more careful study than they cared to give. Faced with a huge and cumbersome ballot they played safe and voted “no.” By so doing the people showed that they have a better ap- preciation of what the no-party ballot is for than did the poli- ticians who cluttered it up with proposals. This instrument was designed to give the people a voice in really important mat- ters and they had no desire to pull anyone’s chestnuts out of the fire and thus encourage the tendency to make the public decide every issue. The vote must have been disconcerting to the members of the last legislature, because every bill passed by them and pre- sented to the people was rejected. It served notice that measures which have been passed by log-rolling, as were some of the items on the no-party ballot, can be effectively dealt with through the referendum. This newspaper has always contended that the average voter of North Dakota has shown a fine intelligence in deal- ing with measures on the no-party ballot and this election en- hances that belief. The average politician does not think so, but the facts are inescapable. The proof of the pudding is al- ways in the eating. Meantime, the result of this vote is illuminating to every- one interested in government. ae If any group desires to have an issue approved by the peo- ple they should be careful to place in on a ballot which is not already over-loaded with issues so the electorate may have a fair chance to study it. If anyone desires to make sure that a specific proposal is eaten, one way to do it is to see that such a large number of issues are presented that any good proposals are lost in the shuffle. Business and Politics How business looks at politics will be much elaborated on during the next few months. The public will be told that business will prosper if the Republicans are elected or vice versa, depending upon the point of view. All of which predictions will be received with liberal dos- ings of salt, for the public well knows that no individual and no group can speak for all of business and that many businesses have chestnuts to be pulled from the fire of politics. As penetrating and dispassionate a view as any, probably, is that taken by the Administrative and Research corpora- tion, a firm of business analysts with offices in Wall Street. Commenting on the Republican and Democratic platforms it says: _ “While divergent in content, both promulgations are identical in purpose. Aside from the hopes which are attached to the popularity of their respective pledges, both platforms offer promise of economic and social improvement, but in different man- ner. Both offer relief to the unemployed; the one (Republican) through local agencies “to avoid politics,” the other (Democrat) through Federal agencies because the problem is a national one. “Embracing an ooncny, of abundance, the Cleveland group asserts that the welfare of labor rests upon increased production. From Philadelphia, however, comes the promise to further im- prove the status of labor by fb to the demands which it makes. Labor is catered to in more liberal terms by the Demo- cratic platform. “Both parties voice strong disapproval of monopolies. Both offer old-age security. On the money question the Cleveland assembly adopts a return to currency convertible into gold when and if it can be done without penalizing our domestic economy. From Philadelphia comes the verdict that the currency in its present form is satisfactory. . , In almost every respect the Democratic pledge exceeds in Hbsrality that.of the Republican party. Out of this divergence of approach to our national problems, business and finance may discern a trend toward a new political and social philosophy. ii yy. taxes are inevitable. Further monetary extremes are unlikely. Abuses of the past are disavowed. The Bismarck Tribunel[sax. Behind the Washington By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Corsespondent) Washington, July 1.—Few other de- | velopments, if any, stand out in re- trospect after the Democratic conven- | tion as conspicuously as the decision of a major party to stress in its cam-/ paign the distinction between the constitution and the U. 8. supreme court. It is the present intention of Roosevelt and his New Dealers to! hammer away on this line through the campaign. The argument will run like this: The constitution is a great and immortal document and should not be tampered with unless conditions obviously require and public opinion overwhelmitgly demands. But the supreme court is made up of nine human beings, prone to! human weaknesses and prejudices, in- cluding certain reactionary gentle- men who are neither abreast of the times nor free of the background of special privilege and corporate ex- ploitation from which they rose to; the bench through appointment by Republican presidents. This will be something of a theme song among Democratic orators—un- less, you must bear in mind, popular reaction seems unfavorable. * * % Larger Bench in Prospect The implication which will be Stressed, more or less specifically, is that Roosevelt hopes for vacancies on the court which will allow him to ap- point judges of liberalism as weil as high standing. Privately, the president- has given serious consideration to the proposal that he ask congress for the power to! appoint additicnal justices to the| court, so that a liberal majority might outweigh what is now the conserva-} tive majority, consisting of Justices | Sutherland, Van Devanter, McRey-| nolds, Butler, Roberts—and sometimes Chief Justice Hughes. Opinions of the liberal minority of Brandeis, Stone and Cardozo—ana' sometimes Hughes—will be accepted somewhat as party dogma insofar as these men have held certain New Deal measures to be constitutionally valid and have accused the court's conservatives of deciding issues on & basis of economic prejudices rather than on points of law. ee * Decide to Take Plunge Prior to the convention, Roose- velt and his strategists hadn't quite dared make such an argument. They told themselves the public mind way, so unaware of the facts and so wor: shipful of the court that “you couldn't make people understand” that since the Constitution was one thing to one other justice, the court could hardly. be considered infallible. The first official departure from this attitude came in Senator Alben Barkley’s keynote speech, through White House instigation. Barkley di- rectly attacked the five justices who killed the New York minimum wage law. * * % Barkley Scis Pace “Over against the hosannas of Hoo- ver,” Barkley said. “forethe tortured interpretation of the Constitution, I place the tortured bodies and souls of men who work and pray, of women whose God-given right is not fulfilled in a sweatshop, and of children whom we have sought to restore to the Schoolroom and the playground.” Senator Joe Robinson, speaking as permanent chairman, followed with more of the same. Considerable research has been done lately into the backgrounds of the conservative justices, and the logical follow-up of the language of the platform and Roosevelt's accept- ance speech (either an immortal dec- laration for human rights or an at- tempt to “stir up class hatred.” as you prefer) will be to show that these justices are “servants of special priv- ilege” rather than friends of the plain people. * * Baking Up the Past Unless planned campaign tactics are reversed, you will be hearing that: Justice Van Devanter is an ex- Politician and corporation lawyer, an attorney for the Union Pacific Rail- road in its land-grabbing days, who later, as a judge, awarded the Union Pacific land along its right-of-way worth millions of dollars—and has de- cided for the railroads in every major railroad case before the supreme court.

No one can say now whether such line of attack will be effective. It might turn out to be a big mistake. (Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Inc.)

The author does not give any reason for his caution about meat and eggs in the diet, There is no reason, I reckon, except dear old medical tra- dition, and that looks a bit ridiculous now that the arctic explorers, Stefans- son and Anders, have shown that good health may be maintained on an ex- clusive meat diet. . ‘The more we learn about nutrition the more likely it seems that the bene- fit obtained from the “easy diet” or any diet in which milk and les figure prominently is attributable not to the meat excluded but rather to the vitamins and mineral elements which. such diet restores to the mal- nourished body. This aspect of the question you will find duly belabored in the Red Book of the Little Lessons series (“Building Vitality”) along with practical information on mineral elements and vitamins, Just as some argue as to whether the egg came before the chicken, 80 physicians pele to whether hypertension (high blood pressure) is & cause of an effect of cardiovascular disease (heart, artery or kidney).
