Bestor & Swatek The WINCHESTER Store South Sixth Street Old Year WORLD'S WORK REVIEWS WIL SON'S PAMPHLET British Dominions and Tribunals of Other Lands Exercise the Final Say. One of the features of the late campaign, says World's Work, was that it developed into an educational course in the fundamental principles of the constitution, and then reviews the pamphlet issued by H. H. Wilson of Lincoln, who controverts the gen eral notion that this is the unly eountry in which the judiciary exer cises the power of setting aside legis lative act. It says in part: "Mr. Wilson shows that while this power may be American in its origin, it is a practice by no means exclu sively American. In countries which have no written constitution framed by the people or their representative SB and amendable only by them, there is obviously no reason for this exten sion of judicial power. The British constitution, for example, is precisely what parliament make it from dny to day: parliament, that is. is the sup reme authority, and obviously there 1s mm need of a rourt setting aside Its laws beyond its law making power, for its powers are not limited, but all-embracing. in the several dominions of the British empire, however, quite a dif :v.nt stale of affairs exists. Prac tically all these nations live under the protection of written documents, like the United States: and in all of them the courts exen ise that pow. : which has recently aroused so much controversy in the United States, of setting aside legislation. "Three years after the adoption of the constitution of South Africa, in :!).. the hiehest court in the onion set aside a law of parliament as nn eonstitutional. "Our courts.' it sc. id. "have every right to inquire wh the any statute has transgressed the lim its of the subject in regard to which the legislature is empowered to legis late.' The courts of India and N Zealand similarly decide when th' legislature has exceeded its consti tutional powers. The constitution of Australia, adopted in li'l. praci , ( iilly incorporates the American, judi cial system, including this rizrnt to set aside extra-constitut ionai laws. ' "The new constitution of PrUS , via. formerly the most autocratic of the German stales, expressly confers his power upon the courts. 'The : Landtag." says Article 2'.K 'shall lm 'legislative authority within the limits 'prescribed by the constitution" and, I says Article 87. 'Constitutional T-on- dicttl shall be decideri by the sta' supreme court." The thing could hardly be rut in plainer language ;han that. The new constitution of . the Reich. a'i-l'U i in 1M0. is aim 51 as specific! l?:.inal laws.' say.; Article 13, 'are superior to the law. of the state. Should any doubt or difference of opinion arise as to whether a state regulation is com patible with a law of the Reich the competent national or state author ity may request a decision from a su perior judicial court of the Reich in accordance with the more specific re quirements of a national law.' That covers, of course, only state laws in ( !i::icT v iih federal, hut other sec tions of the constitution clearly give the courts supreme authority over the constitutionality of all legisla tion. "Thu the Amerh an system Is taking root in the constitutions of many progressive countries. Mr. Wilson's extremely valuable p;iper calls attention to other misconcep tions. One is that John Marshall "USUrped' this power and that ft is not found in the constitution. Mr. Wilson insists that th" second sec tion of Article in The indicia! power shall extend to all eases, in law and equity, arising under this constitution, the laws of the United St;it-s. and treaties maie or which shall be made, under their author ity' is a specific grant tj the fed eral courts to set aside uncon'it t tional legislation and gives most weighty reasons for his conter'it He completely disposes of the as- r tion. made by Senator L:: Follette and others, that the constitutional convention of ITS" considered the I question of granting this authority to the courts and voted it down. I What the convention disapproved wa a proposal that the courts jointly with the president, should possess the veto against all acts of congress that is. a political power as distin guished from a judicial one. Mr. Wilson also shows that this ezi I of judicial power was not new al the time. He quote"! a large number of cases, all deeidded before 1787. in Which state courts had set aside, as unconstitutional, acts of state lecis latures. The exercise of this Judicial power was already the established practice in six of the thirteen states before the adoption of the federal constitution." I3ANEZ EN BAD REPUTE WITH POWERS OF SPAIN Paris. Dec. 19. "My hook on the king of Spain is hunted down with the utmost rigor." said Vi cente Blasco Ibenez to Excelsior's Mentone correspondent. "Anybody found reading it on the other side of the Pyrennes get fifteen day i:-. faiL That is what happened to a French engineer recently, who, un aware of the decree, was reading it on a train. "They fear I and my friends will attempt an invasion of Spain, for which reason they have strengthened the frontier regiments. Three fresh battalions were sent to the French side and three others to the Portuguese frontier." Z. W.

SPILLMAN WANTS TO MOVE INTO THE NEW CAPITOL SOON Office of Attorney General in Old Capitol is Difficult to Heet On the Second Floor. Other state officers may hang back and refuse to move into the new e.-ip-itol until n xt spring, but Attorney General Spillman and his office help ers are anxiouo to leave their old quarters and get into the new as soon as possible. They have been Shivering at their desks, wearing overcoats and other wraps in a vain effort to keep wam. while the cold i-ir poured in around the loose (itt ins; windows and the steam radiators failed to function. "We want to get out of this re Crigerator plant just as soon as we can," declared Assistant Attorney General Dort. speaking for the leal department Saturday forenoon, in the absence of his chief. ' The thing that interests us is a lairly comfortable place to work. We have no desire whatever to stay in the old capitol and freeze." Attorney General Spillman. who .-pent Christmas with his wife at Pierre, will L back Monday or 1v day, and the office will be move 1 ter in the weak, when the inter ior decorating is finished in rooms intended for ii on the south side of the new capitol This will put kirn two blocks away from the governor's Bttlte, in the opposite corner of tiie BOW building. First Floor Now Protected. Tirst floor rooms in the old struc ture are much more comfortable this winter than Formerly, on account of the protection they get from cold vinds by reason of the newer edifice Interrening as a barrier. The offices of the railv.ay commissioner, state auditor, and state treasurer, which i d to be difficult to heat In cold weather, are now fairly comfortable. But in the case of the attorney ei era! and others located on the second floor, the frigid winds dip down after passing over the new part of th- building and :trike their win .ov s f"ii blast, making a very notice sbie difference in temperature thre from what it is below. Not all of the radiators in the .. capitol have been adjusted as to tender full service, and occu pants of some of the offices there complain that the3' find it a trifie billy. However, general conditions are so much better than in the old aliens that tittle complaint is rd on this score. SERVED PEOPLE GREAT SAGR'ROE Bryan Tell: Omaha Chamber Out going Administration Suf fered Financially. Omaha. Neb.. Dec. 30. Governor Charles W. Bryan sounded "taps" on bi, past administration in an au Lress at a public affairs luncheon of the Omaha chamber of commerce- to day. The people jf Nebraska, the retiring governor said, t re; ted the outcrning aamfhistratlbn "generous ly" and each member of the adminis tration "has served his best at a financial sacrife e." The governor predicted a return to Nebraska in 1 2 5 of the pros perity enjoyed Immediately after the world war. witfi the difference that flo one would be inclined to foolish speculation after the severe economic I 'ins taught by the recent de pression. To aid in this prosperity. Governor Bryan said, a reduction in the cost of government to a minimum must be made. "We mtist leave as much mono a possible in peonle's pockets to be spent for the necessities of life. In this state, in the past two years, there has been a 33 per cent reduc tion in the actual number of dollars th counties have sent to the st ite treasurer for state expenses. I he-1 live further savings c;-n be affected in the next two years. This has aided largely in restoring th1 finan- rial prosperity of the people." THE OIL PROBLEM Chicago, Dec 29. The greatest p: 'blem facing the United Slates th l'.2$ is the oil situation, according to Hubert work, secretary of the inter ior, here visiting his daughter, Mrs. W. W. Blshell, of Evanston. "Unless new fields are discovered and large new wells drilled the pe troleum supply of the United States will be gone in twelve years," Mr. Work says. "We have flood of oil now. enor mous production, more thru 1 million barrels a day. But how long will it last? Whenever a new field is brought' In the owners rush to drill it tip. Oil is fugitive. Each well takes oil from across the line, nnd a lease, if not too laree. esm he drainedby well" nil around it. That is one or the reasons for the wild and costly drilling which use up the oil so quickly. "The great problem :3 to find a way to stop wasteful drilling; to hold the storage in the ground until needed. Storing oil above ground is costly. Much is lest by evaporation. There is interest to pay on the investment in oil and steel tanks. "Oil from public lands, exclusive of the naval reserves totalled 4( mil lion barrels last year. Government and state shares in this oil or royal ties amounted to 8 million barrels worth 12 million dollars. The cost of supervising the recovery of this oil to the government was about a Quarter of a milliem dollars."

Does Whoever thought of Robinson Crusoe as a successful advertiser? Yet he was, as history proves. Now Robinson knew that he wanted a ship, Aild he put up an ad for one. He hung up a shirt on a pole at the top of his island, and that in the language of the sea, was plain to every seafar ing man. The circulation was small (there was no ether medium) but Crusoe kept at it persistently, desp:te the fact that one garment after another frayed out, and in the end he got what he wanted.
