Th stating that Governor Sholtz wants no. more federal aid, the papers tliat re- * ferred to his statement were only half right. He does want federal aid but with- out the string of “matehing” tied to it, hy other words he wants the continuance of federal’ aid without the necessity of a state appropriation, and hopes that’ the state ai hthe country and for the OBLIGATION TO NEWSPAPERS (Tampa Daily Times) Every: citizen in your city is obligation to its newspaper. Without one your community cannot progress and would .remain. stagnant—if not. diein time. So declares the St. Paul Daily. News, which goes on: You!can pay this debt in two ways. First, by subscribing’ to the’ paper reg- ularly. Second, by advertising in its columns, thereby making it prosperous and In no other way can you help an honest paper, and that’ will be’ ample. { The cheapest thing you buy is your ‘paper, for which you pay about one-half ‘the amount it owes the publisher to’ pro- , duce it, The advertiser buys his space at “a. considerably less amount than it would {cost to’ send his announcements either by |, mail or circulars delivered’ by hand. fi The ambition of your publisher is to ‘try to give you the best paper possible with "the money he gets from you: Don’t. compare your paper with the Chicago Tribune or New York Times-and wonder why your paper is not better, but ,stop-and think, “Am Tin any way helping my publisher to produce a_ better news- ’ paper?” Many publishers. are capable of pro- No publisher can continue long to put into his A } i | paper more than he takes out, and your ,community should not expect to compare ‘its paper with any other publication except ‘on a population and cash receipt basis. .And also ask yourself if you’ are doing your part. FLIRTING WITH DEATH It is an amazing fact that the ap- ‘Y palling number of deaths which result from sheer carelessness make no greater im- pression upon the average person. This is vespecially true with respect to drivers of i automobiles. ‘ Persons who are ordinarily careful in i protecting their health.and property often throw discretion to the winds the moment _they grasp. the wheel of a motor car, and flirt with death through failing: to. observe ‘| the most elementary principles: of safety. | They will take a:chanceat a grade crossing, speed while routiding’ @ blind curve, pass other cars under dangerous conditions, and do other foolish things |, which menace life and limb—seemingly oblivious of the fact that one slight mis- take of judgment may prove fatal. to them or to these who happen to be passengers in their cars. ‘ The jaywalker is equally reckless, taking the chance of being run down for the sake of saving a few steps or a ‘moment’s time. Infact, many pedestrians are even more careless than the average ‘motorist. Safety education has been the means of veducing accidents to some extent, but ' the lamentable fact remains that no amount of warning. has. any appreciable effect-up- ) on'the majority of people.. The result is that 30,000:or more per- .sons are killed. and about 750,000. are in- jured in automobilé accidents in the United States*every year, while at least 90~ per eent of these casualties might be averted tby the use of ordinary common sense. 4 BRINGING SILVER BACK Some qualified observers. forecast that the present congress, before it. adjourns, will pass legislation designed’ to’ restore the value of silver. If it does, it will have done much for world: It will have set an example that will be followed by: other governments. It will have paved the way for rehabilitation of silver on an ‘international scale. Because of cheap silver, foreign trade —particularly with the Asiatic countries »——has virtually stopped, Monetary. systems have been thrown into confusion. - There is not enough gold to go around as a money metal—and without another metal to do controlling commerce industrial - activity are upset. Bringing silver back will be a real step toward recovery. It is to be hoped >that some sound plan for doing this will } soon come into effect. The new universal ' “Basic English” contains only 850 words. Tmasmuch as it makes no distinction in the and under THE: KEY WEST CITIZEN | Our Government —How ro Operates By William Brackart Memeweenrncccsancencucee FEDERAL JUDICIARY, IS. a common. mistake. for per- ~ sons to misstate the title of the head of the federal judiciary, He | is chief justice of the United States, | ‘not’ the chief justice of the Supreme | icourt- of the United States, for hig/; duties and powers are vastly broad- | er than just those of presiding over | the nation’s highest judicial tribunal, The Constitution provided for our system of courts, but it established: |’ only the Supreme Court of the United States. It gave power to congress, however, to create the en- tire system, of: United: States: courts, ag it might’ see fit; and’to that end the legislative branch of the gov- ernment established. the- courts of | original. jurisdiction, calling them District courts and: Appellate courts, which are- known as Circuit: Courts of Appeals; of. which there are ten with a varying: number of justices; || depending upon the amount’ of’ liti- gation in the circuit. District courts, of course; are nearest to the people. It is into that court: that'the United States at- torneys- go. seeking. indictment and’ Drosecution. of violators of federal: statutes, and it’ is into that court corporations’ and individuals. go to |: seek adjudication of differences when thel claims-arise under a fed- |’ eral: law: or when the defendant: re- sides'im- another state. ‘The District |. |, courts; therefore, provide the: citi» zens with'a means of reaching those |’ agéinst’. whom he has a grievance. even though that indivNiual or cor- poration be located across the con- 5 tinent. The name of the Circuit Court of Appeals defines its place in the ju- dicial structure. It is just that, and in a great majority ‘of the casesthat reach it from the District court, it becomes: the court of last resort as: a result of the power which the Su-: preme Court of the United States has. The highest court can say and; indeed, it does say in the bulk of the cases decided by the several Courts of Appeals, that it will not consider them further. cata, to employ the legal: phrase. The Supreme. court cannot: avoid- consideration of all of the cases, how- ever, for if they involve a question of construing the Constitution, those cases can reach the highest tribunal, Likewise, in a dispute between two states‘ of the Union, the Supreme court has to hear of the matter. Appellate courts operate in some- :thing- of the same fashion, exeept \thatthey obviously: have to examine jevery: case that/is appealed from the district where all: of the evidence was.taken. Very frequently, it is true, they do not go far with the cases sent to them from the court of original jurisdiction, because a very great number are dismissed when the Circuit judges have satis- fied themselves that, justice was done in the court below. However, even then the litigants in the cases ‘can ask the Supreme court to re "view the matter, but that court may ‘or may not let the cases come be- fore it as it sees fit. It never\re- fuses, however, if there is a Consti- tutional question involved, or if se- rious doubt ig shown as to rights o! citizens under the statutes of thelr own. states. From this it becomes evident that the Supreme court’ transacts an enormous’ amount of business: It has been said that the Supreme court 18 never able to catch up with its work. That is true, in a sense, for it always has cases on its docket ‘at decision. In another re- *Spect, the statement is untrue, how- ever, for it always allows itself time’ im which to study the questions be- fore it and determine the far-reach- ing consequences’ of its rulings; a jcruisers in the country will com- condition: of which every justice is mindful Ht times. “Its reputed slowness, therefore, may be said to be in: the- interest of justice to ally ; . Bot I:mentioned at the outset that the: chief justice had other work ito: dos, Without attempting to ré elte his duties in detail, it may suf- fiee to. show the character of his du- les by. calling. attention to the fact that it is an obligation of his to see that the Circuit courts keep up with their work. It is quite obvious that cireuit judges sitting in areas like the plains states, where the popula- on is scattered, have not the amount of work to do that confront those sitting in a populous cireuit -like New York. The chief justice knows the stitus of the dockets | ‘throughout the nation, and if, for! example, the judges get behind in New York, one or more of the judges from elsewhere in the nation is or- dered: to New York to help out. There are two other courts which should be mentioned in any discus- and the United States Court of Cus- toms and Patent Appeals. Both are in Washington; both have limited Jurisdictions. The Court of Claims | is the only tribunal where only the | United States can be the defendant.
