JESSE WARD WRITES.
About Amendments to Constitution.
Raps Appellate Court.
Editor Tlmes-Enterprlse:-
I am glad that tom Crenshaw Is
trying for the railroad commtsston-
ership', as I hare no Idea that his
candidacy will effect the general re
sult In that* direction McLendon will
get more votes by the opposition,
for more people will take the time
to turn out and vote than would oth
erwise have done.
We have several amendments to
the constitution 'to be voted on, and
It Is a notable fact that men wll fuss
and fight and fume over candidates
for office, but when It comes to vot
lng about constitutional amendments
they are silent as the tomb, unless
there Is a fight for office In the
round. Hence I am glad that we
have opposition for possibly It will
cal out more than a corporal's guard
at the state election In October.
As constitutional government was
wrung from kings and tyrants by
their oppressed subjects and placed
as a shield and barrier between the
oppressed and the oppressor, we
wh 0 live In this golden age of the
twentieth century should guard with
care the glorious boon of protection
and liberty wrought for us by the
glory and blood of our fathers.
Our federal constitution specifies
the number, duties and salary of the
office holders 0 f Uncle Sam’s domain.
When congress decides to create
more It votes an amendment and the
people are asked to ratify It and they
generally do so whether needed or
not. What Is true of the Union Is
true of the states to a greater ex
tent, for amendments come
faster.
Whether an amendment has failed
to be ratified or not I am not suffi
ciently posted to know, but the
amendment that conferred the fran
chise on a raec In the south wholly
unprepared for Its proper use has
been fraught with such dire results
that half the Southern states have
nullified Its provisions as fsr as pos
sible. I mention this to show that
constitutional amendments are not
alw«rs right even though they al
ways pass.
Rape Appellate Court.
Now as to the appellate court, or,
I call It, another supreme court.
It may be right to ratify this amend
ment so as to have this court, but
with the light I now have I propose
to vote against it.
These are some of my reasons:-
I think we have to 0 many courts,
and too little Justice now. It has
only been a short time since we were
called Qn to ratify an amendment In
creasing the number of supremo
court Judges. The-lawyers claimed
tbat they were so badly overworked
that they could not get a hearing In
any reasonable length of time. -The
voters gave them the Increase asked.
Now the same wall comes up, only In
an aggravated form. The Atlanta
News in a recent editorial said tbat
Judges worked 10 hours a day.
worked at night, aud Christmas, and
It was Bald that one Justice actually
worked Christmas day In his vain ef
forts to catch up. Of course this
Is too much work for men with
brains in their skulls to do,.and, of
course, It's so, for the News gives
the news. I don't dispute It for I
don't know, but 1 don’t propose to
vote them more courts for that rea
son.
Rather I would limit the'charac-
ter and number, of case that go up.
I suppose that in a short time that
a negro divorce case will have to be
settled up yonder. If everything has
,>
I haye recently said In my disgust
at the turn ot some cases In
that I was against the Supreme court
anyhow, for as I saw It they were
leading the people to anarchy, mob
law, violence and lynch law. No
wonder the midnight assassin
growing proposition, when , flimsy
technicalities can be made to shield
them when their guilt Is proven be
yond a reasonable doubt.
For Job Hunters.
I shall not vote for the appellate
court for the reason that I think the
time has come to check the speed of
this legislation Job-mill that keeps
grinding out new offices with an ever
accelerating speed. It seems to have
been the motto 0 f thoriegtslature for
a number of years to pay up political
debts by creating an dfflee If none
was vacant In order that the faithful
might get a place at the pie counter.
If that old Bob Toombs document,
called the constitution of 77 stood in
the way. It was promptly amended
to suit the case.
As I said. It 1b time to cal a halt.
Our fathers rebelled because Brittain
multiplied officers to eat the sub
stance of the people. It Is time (or
us to rebel at this everlasting In
crease. Look what a hungry crowd of
lawers Is now at work to get a place
on the appellate bench even before
the amendment Is ratified. It seems
that the'lawyers have Increased fast
er than the practice will admit; an
Increase of courts will provide for
lack of clients to some^ extent.
. Supply and Demand.
When we fool farmers make too
much cotton we have to take less for
It, until the demand Increases. The
same rule should hold good with the
lawyers and other professions. Now
I am not fighting lawyers because ot
their calling and have never done so
An able lawyer whose hend and
heart Is right Is capacitated to do
perhaps greater service for his coun
try than any other profession,
but the people can 111 afford to create
Jobs for all. I think there hase been
about 13,000,000 Increase In the val
ue of property In Georgia, and the
governor managed to pull down a
dime on the thousand and got the
rate to 14.80 where It was two years
ago. il -think last year It went up r
dime with thirty-seven million In
crease, to $4.90, only ten cents under
the constitutional limit. If the bot
tom were to fall out and values
shrink to a level of a few yeara ag
the governor would have to borrow
about a million or go below the con
stltutlonal limit.
I Imagine our appropriation com
mittee looks at $100,000 about like
an ordinary man would look at a ten
dollar bill. /
Ths Increase In values has enabled
our commission to-cut the rate below
where It was when the road law was
enacted. Why can’t the people ex
pect as much from (he state officials
and the Georgia legislature. If some-
tMng alnt dead up the branch It
smells that way . to me. Multiply the
officers to eat the substance of the
people by creating more courts of ap
peal and the poor hanen’t got the
money to make the appeal. But if it
suits turn out the first Wednesday
in October and vote her In again.
Against New Connty.
There Is another amendment tc
the constitution which alms to make
Ben Hill county. Of course It will
-Nobody will think or care any
thing about It away from the com
munity, so the county will go a ker-
hooklng even If the people at home
are against It. This is the shrewd
est trick 0 f the politicians, to cut the
state up Into little saddle blanket
counties that has yet been thought
of. 'Just so they don’s try too many
at once they will be sure to make the
landing all right. All that will be
necessity will Ve to get the represen-
eousness as the reason for seceding.
Ben HUI county may be needed,
doubtless Is by the Job hunters, but
as Georgia Is now powerful long bn
counties, or else the rest of the
states are mighty short, I shall g»
one agin the amendment.
