Concerning the status of judicial recall agitation, the committee to oppose judicial recall reports in part as follows: “A perceptible change in senti- ment toward the judicial recall Is slowly but surely showing ‘itsplf among the people of the different States. In many localities its true nature i8 not yet understood. In most States the average voter has, as yet, insufficient appreciation of its baneful character. The work of education must be continued. The signs, however, of increasing en- lightenment, due to persistent ef- forts of its opponents, are every- where apparent. Former leading advocates of judicial recall are say- ing less about it. Some of them are now saying nothing about i1t. Some have apparently given up the idea of the recall of judges and have turned to the judicial decision re- call as a substitute. Others, more adroit, have apparently given up both the recall of judges and the recall of Jjudicial decisions and have retréated to positions less an- tagonistic to constitutional democ- racy."” «?

To give special privi- leges to any class of men is opposed not only to the Declaration of In- dependence, but to the whole theory of our government. On this point all parties agree. “C‘an it have occurred to the gen- tlemen who propose this !egislation that if the courts cannot decide these controversies peacabiy, they will be decided by force? The shock- ing results of the latter method we gee plainly in Colerado. Would it not have bheen better to have the questions which have given rise to bloodshed there decided in an or- derly manner by the Colorado courts? “Your committee is not opposed to organized labor. We freely con- cede to laboring men the same right to organize that their employers possess. We are persuaded that in opposing the proposed legislation we are the true friends of both.” The Panama tolls question and Japanese immigration are referred to in the report of the committee on international laws, as follows: “The discussion arising between the United States and Great Britain and other countries as to free tolls for coasting vessels of the United States has been amicably terminat- ed by the repeal of the free tolls by Congress by a statute carefully worded to prevent the loss of any rights of the United States. “Qur relations with Japan con- tinue to be disturbed by the denial by some States of this Union of cer.
