The plague of the supreme court is a fond- ness for words with which to befuddle the average mind. Take the decision on the “Seven Sisters” initiative bills. Five of the “Seven Sisters” came up before the court. The judges decided that four of them had enough signatures. The fifth, Initiative Bill No. 12, providing for the abolishment of the state tax commission, did not have enough names, the court held. There were 15 points raised in the argu- ment. Each point involved a number of sig- natures—whether they should be counted or *MY WO Diana Dillpickles ; In ow T Good Work, Policewoman 44!

Here are the exact words of the learned judges: “We may say that THERE IS ROOM FOR ARGUMENT upon this question for and against the rejection of certain names originally upon this petition other than those which our conclusions above set forth would restore there- to, as we are of the opinion that THE DE- CISION WE MIGHT ARRIVE AT TOUCH. ING THE OTHER QUESTIONED NAMES UPON THIS PETITION WOULD NOT RE. SULT IN MAKING THE TOTAL OF THE NAMES UPON THE PETITION EQUAL THE REQUIRED 31,836.” For the love of Mike, what does it mean? In one breath, the court says there is room for argument. In the next breath, the judges declare that if they were to consider the other questions they “might decide” there were not enough names. THEY MIGHT DECIDE! But you’ve got to hand it to the supreme court judges. They certainly can bunch thelr words in a way that knocks the average man silly trying to understand them.

Fact is, when we read of two million soldiers fighting tach other for two weeks at a stretch, the figures mean prac tically nothing. The most we can do in trying to grasp them is to compare with the crowds that we have seen and then to realize how weak is our power of understanding And if we can’t grasp the numbers, much less can we sense the nerve-wear, the suffering.
