Toledo, March $.—President Taft made answer here tonight to.the pro- paganda for the recall of judges and for the more recent proposal for the recall of judicial decisions. His topic was “The Judiciary and Prggress.” He made no direct reference to Colonel Theodare Roosevelt nor to the latter's speech at Columbus, but referred free- lv to some of the policies that were enunciated by the former president before the Ohio constitutional conven- tiom. Flags Waved, Crowd Cheered. Practically every person in the au- dience carried an American flag, and when the president reached his pero- ration against the recall of judicial de- 4sions the flags sprang up and the crowd applauded and cheered with enthusiasm, Mr. Taft's declaration that the recall of decisions was with- out merit, reactionary instead of pro- gressive, revolutionary and unstable, met with almost instant approval. He was compelled to wait for nearly a minute while the audience expressed ite coincidence with his views. Disappointed Over Action on Treaties. peaking aside from his prepared speech, President Taft expressed h}s disappointment over the senate's amendment of the proposed arbitra- tion treaties with Great Britain and France. le then concluded: “The senate’s action makes it doubtful whether the treaties will be accepted by the countries with which they are designed to deal and also makes it dowbtful whether the chief executive of this country should procced with them, Belioves People Favor Them, The whole subject probably will have to be gone over again. I am not discouraged, 1 am simply disappointed, 1 believe the people. were in favor of ratifying these treaties as they were War is such a horrible method of set- tling controversies thaf the people want uone of it if they ean help it Crowds Turned Away. President Tafts appearance at the Coliseum was attended by prolonged cheering and waving of myrads small flags held up by the segf hold~ Crowds of people were turned v because of the lack of seats for them. In his main speech, he said: Recall “of Judicial Decisions. 1 have examined this proposed method of reversing judicial decisions in constitutionak guestions with care,” President Taft said. “I do not hesi- tate to say that it lays the axe at the »f the tree of well ordered freedom subjects the sguaranties of life, and property without remedy fitful fmpulse of a temporary of an electorate.” oot and fiberty ) the ajority Woman's Suffrage Coming. by upanimous vote of ate,” he said, “is impossible, © the majority of the e rate must rute.

This ls the nearest \ government by the whole people ever had.

In many cases before dges that temporary majority is party to the controversy to be 1,” the president continued. “It may be secking to deprive an individ- ual or a minority of awight secured by the fundamental law. In such a case j# the judges were mere representa- tives or agents of the majority to car- ry out its will they would lose their judicial character entirely and the so- Jied administration of justice would a farce.” Judicial System Not Perfect. At this point the president repeated his former declarations that the judi- clal system was not as perfect as it might be made and called attentlon to his speeches and messages to congress urging reform in procedure. He spoke of delays and the costs of litigation. “But these humdrum defects and their tedious remedie: he declared, “are not of the spectacular character to call for politic ssion, or to aps in the ¥ legisiation. The formidable altack upon our judiciary now is that the judges do not respond sufficiently to popular opimion. It is sald that courts are interposing their obstractive power to ths enforcement o? legislation loocking to the relief of the oppressed by declaring laws un- constitutional and by so-called judiclal logislation in Interposing iuto statutes words not intended by the legislature.” ‘Buch Charges Unfounded for Most Part Such charges, if reduced to specific instances, the president thought, could be shown to be unfounded for the most part, but for the purpo: of his dis- cussion he might admit that courts had erred im that regard -had. unduly Life, Liberty and Property to broadened constitutional restrictione to invalidate useful statutes or had given to statutes a wrong construction. Would Deprive Judges of Independence The president then took up the pro- posed remedies, first the recall of Judges and later the recall of judicial decisions. Than the recall of judges, he declared, there could not be a sys- tem better adapted to deprive the judi- ciary of “that independence without which the liberty and other rights of the individual cannot be -maintained against the government and the ma- Jority.” If the impeachment were too cumbersome a proceeding to apply to corrupt judges; he proposed a tribunal for the removal of judges for cause. Of the recall of judicial decision, President Taft said in part: Would Be Suspension of Constitution. “This 1s a remarkable suggestion and one which is so contrary to anything in government heretofore proposed that it is hard to give to it the serious con- sideration which it deserves because 6f its advocates and of the conditions under which it is advanced. What this recall of decisions will amount to 1f applied to constitutional questions is that there will be a suspension of the constitution to enable a temporary majority of the electorate to enforce 4 popular but invalid act” Destroys Probability of Consistency. “A most serious objection to the re- call of decislons is that it destroys all probability of consistency in constitu- tlonal interpretation. The majority which sustains one law is not the ma- | jority which comes to consider an other, and the obligation of consistenc; of popular deciston is one which would | sit most lightly on each recurring elec- torate and the operation of the 83 tem would result in suspension of ap- plication of constitutional guaranties according to popular whim. A Fallacious Argument. “We would have then a system of suspending the constitution to meet special instances, But the main argu- ment used to sustain such a popular review of judicial decisions is that if the people are competent to establish a constitution they are competent- to interpret it and that this recall of de- cislonis is nothing but the exercise of | the power of interpretation. This is clearly a fallacious argument. The approval of general principles in a constitation on one hand and the in- terpretation of a-statute and consider- ation of its probable operation in a particular case and its possible in- fringement of a general principle on the other hand are very different things, . One Simple, the Other Complex. “The one is simple, the latter com- plex; and the latier when submitted to & popular vote, as already pointed out, is much more likely to be turned into an lssue of general approval or dis- approval, of the act on its merits for the speclal purpase of its enactment than upon its violation of the comsti- tution. Moreover, a popular majority does not adopt a constitution, or any principle of it, or amend its terms, un- til after it has been adopted by a con- stitutional convention or a legislature, and the final adoption is, and ought to be, surrounded with such delays as to secure deliberation. Prepared Way for Greatest Tyranny. “Can it be that the pow porary majority of the electorate by a single popular vote to do away with rights secured to individuals which have been inviolable for seven hundred years, since the days of the Magna Charter, approves itself to those who lov i and who hold dear i cred guaranties? Would we not in giving such powerful effect to the mo- mentary impulse of a majority of an| electorate prepare the way for the pos- sible exercise of the greatest tyranny? Crude, Revolutionary and Unstable. “Finally, I ask what is the necessity for such a crude, revolutionary, fitful and unstable way of reversing judicial constructions of the constitution? Why, if the construction is wrong, can it not be righted by constitutional amend- ment? “An answer made to this is that the same judges would construe the amendment and defeat the popular will as in the first Instance. This assumes dishonesty and a gross violation of their oaths of duty on the part of the Judges, a hypothesis utterly utenable. Sowing Seeds of Confusion and Tyranny ‘“Such a proposal as this is utterly without merit or utility, and, instead of being progressive, is reactionary: instead of being in the interest of all the people, and of the stability of pop- ular government, is sowing the geeds of confusion and tyranny.” ROOSEVELT LAUDED.
