THE DARK JUNGLE OF ABSOLUTISM
A few years ago the State of Oregon passed a law
that all children between eight and 16 years of age must
attend the public schools. The effect of this was to
snake the children wards of the State and to close all
private and parochial schools, depriving all father and
mothers of the right to send their children to schools
where they might receive the religious instructions of
their fathers.
The act applied only to the younger children of
tender age. But if it was constitutional to enact a law
compelling children of the age mentioned, it would also
be constitutional to pass a law requiring older children
to attend only the public colleges, thus eliminating all
schooling in academies and military schools unless run
by the State.
If valid, therefore, every school in any State in the
union could be closed to students, even such great insti
tutions as Notre Dame, in Indiana. Whether Protestant,
Jew or Catholic, it would make no difference to the
bigot or the prejudiced.
“The nine old men” derided by our President and
speaking through Justice McReynolds held unanimous
ly that the “child is not the creature of the State,’’ and
being a free court and not a political court, it overrode
the people of Oregon on a policy which conflicted with
the constitution which guarantees every man the right
to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” as well
as religious freedom. If in any other State there were
politicians who held the same views as the legislators
of Oregon they were warned by the action of the Su
preme Court that their enacted laws would be thrown
out of court.
An independent judiciary is so vital that it should
not be sacrificed for any immediate advantage. It is
vital because it is a bulwark between the individual
and the government itself. If this were not so every
changing government could indulge its whims and fan
cies at the expense of the people. The United States
Supreme Court is the only place with greater powers
than the government.
Out of 100 cases brought to test labor laws,, 80 of
them have been decided for labor and 20 against. Is
not that a fair batting average for any court ? The
governor of Idaho has said he would prefer a court whi
ch could be packed if necessary to secure legislation
wanted by political majorities. The President himself
has asked that the Supreme Court exercise its powers
and declare laws constitutional whether they were
or not.
The Supreme Court made it possible for the war
veterans to secure their promised pension, despite the
efforts of certain congressmen to block it. The court
refused to be the third horse in the three-horse team to
confiscate the property of the veterans.
When certain states in war hysteria forbid the teach
ing of any foreign language in public schools and teach
ers were arrested and sentenced, even the state supreme
court upholding the convictions, who stepped in, and
being a free court and not a political court, reversed the
judgments in each case on the ground that they contra
vened the personal freedom of the convicted teachers?

In the case of Huey Long, who levied a huge tax on
all papers inimical to his interests, the Supreme Court
declared the laws were unconstitutional and that the,
people had the right to full information as to the doings
or misdoings of their government.
It is of no use to say a dictatorship “can't happen
here.” Huey Long had one under the thin shell of de
mocracy. We are fast drifting toward one. Millions j
of people have confidence in President Roosevelt, but1
what of his successors in future years? How many!
people who now fail to see danger in tying up our courts
with politics will bitterly regret their opinions of today?
A power used by a good man to remake the Supreme
Court can be used by an evil-minded man for his own
purposes.
The real issue before the American people today is
not whether certain decisions of the Supreme Court
were right but whether we desire a court which is not j
politically controlled and which is above the powers of;
even Congress or the President. The courts cannot be
subservient to any political power or machine.—Cor
