Sanctity of the Supreme Court When Senator Bob La Follette criticises the supreme rourt for throwing out the child labor law as unconsti- tutional and proposes a congressional “review of de- isions,” the whole conservative constitutionalist group as the shivers and brands La Follette as a dangerous radical theorist. But when the big and wealthy shippers of California go to Washington and proceed to overturn a recent decision of the same supreme court affecting their interests, that’s something entirely different. The case involved in the Southern Pacific-Central Pa- tific “unmerging,” now being heard before the interstate tommerce commission, is of real interest to the entire sountry. “The Pacific Railroad” built in '69 with Uncle Sam's Money, included the Central Pacific from Ogden to San Francisco, but for years this line has been controlled by the Southern Pacific. In 1921 the supreme court held that the S. P. control of the C. P. “is in violation of the Sherman anti-trust act of 1890” and therefore the lines must be urimerged. This decision seemed to please particularly the Union Pacific, which owns the Salt Lake-San Pedro line running southwest from Salt Lake to Los Angeles. The U. P. folks seemed to think that the decision might enable them to secure possession of the C,. P. in some way and thus ultimately take the control of the Pacific coast railroad situation out of the hands of the S. P. But the same decision, which pleased the Union Pacific 0 much and which caused its owners to be so strong “for upbuilding the supreme court,” has caused profound gorrow in the Southern Pacific camp and made these agree with Mr. La Follette that there ought to be some “to review decisions of the supreme court.” At least, that is the viewpoint of the 250 big shippers of northern and central California who are in Washing- ton, headed by E. O. Edgerton, late president of the Cali- fornia, railroad commission, seeking to overturn the su- court decision ordering the S. P.-C. P. “unmerger.” What's the constitution among friends?

The case dragged along for 30 years, the litigants spending more than $10,000 in appealing to higher courts, or 20 times the amount at stake. A judge now dismisses the suit, unsettled. Both liti- gants are dead. So is one of the original lawyers. No one is certain what the bone of contention at the start was. Some think, a piano.

Margaret is on the right track. The world today needs “heart” rather than intellect. Big problems remain unsolved because they are viewed as intellectual prob- lems when they really are matters of “heart”—tolerance, charity, decency, brotherhood.
