CONSTITUTIONAL
by MAX BERNS
Our Balance-Wheel
How do our Courts provide a safeguard for the people and the government?
In his book on Constitutional
Government, Woodrow Wilson says:
“Our courts are the balance-wheel
of our whole constitutional system,
and ours is the only constitutional
system so balanced and controlled.
Other constitutional systems lack
complete poise and certainty of operation because they lack the support and interpretation of authoritative, indisputable courts of law.
“It is clear beyond all need of exposition that for the definite maintenance of constitutional understandings it is indispensable, alike
for the preservation of the individual, and for the preservation of the
integrity of the powers of the Government, that there should be some
non-political forum in which those
-understandings can be impartially
debated and determined. That forum
our courts supply. —
“The constitutional powers of the
courts,” concludes Wilson, “constifeo}
tute the ultimate safeguard alike of
individual privilege and governmental pretogative. It is in this sense
that our judiciary is the balance.
wheel of our entire system.”

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 30.—Federal assistance in the financing of
municipal airports in the ~ eleven
was urged by the
Aviation Planning Conference at
Sacramento last week end as the
aeronautical leaders of the nation
closed a three day conference.
This suggestion was contained in
one of eleven resolutions passed by
the group after hearing Major Genwestern’ states
S. Army Air Corps; his assistant
Brigadier General Henry H. Arnold;
Colonel J. Monroe Johnson, Assistant
Secretary of Commerce; LieutenantColonel W. Sumpter-Smith, Principal Aeronautical Engineer, W. P. A.;
Fred Fagg, Jr., Director of the Bureau of Air Commerce; and Brigadier General Delos C. Emmons, Commander of the First Wing of the G.
H. Q. Air Force, outline*the government’s policies in regard to the development of aviation on the West
Coast.
Accomplishment of the recommendations made by the conference
is expected through the formation of
a permanent Western Aviation Planning Council, composed of representatives of the eleven western states, Alaska and Hawaii. A board of
aes governors, representatives of the
states and territories would ¢arry
out the. recommendations of the
council ‘which has as its purpose the
advancement and fostering of the
best interests of aviation.
Among the other resolutions passed by the conference was one urging the Department of. Agriculture,
the Department of Interior, and the
State and National Park Services to
construct suitable lanading fields as
rapidly as funds are available in the
various recreation areas of the nation, It was pointed out that there
were too few airports particularly in
the mountain areas of the national
parks and that construction of landing fields would be a safety measure
as well as providing another aceess
to the parks.
In order to assure adequate permanent policy for American’s aeronautical development, the conference
recommended to the Senate and the
House of Representatives the creation in each ‘body of standing committees on civil aeronautics. The
several states and political subdivisions were urged to enact laws ‘zoning airport areas to prevent the
construction or mairtenance of hazards, and laws to establish the principle of eminent domain for air carriers. The McCarran-Lea Bill now Scattini, Greenfield,

pending in Congress was endorsed
in principle bysthe conference. This
bill would place the control of commercial aviation in the Interstate
Commerce Commission which now
similarly controls motor’ transport
and the railroads.
In view of the success of this conference, it was recommended ‘that
similar geographical groups of states
in the nation organize similar conferences to aid in planning the development of aviation.
The conference also recommended that congress create and maintain
an adequate system of civil airways
in the ‘territory of, Alaska.
pointed out that the airplane is the
solution of the transportation problems in Alaska where it is impracticable and uneconomical to provide
adequate highways and railroads.
LONG DISTANCE
PHONE RATE CUT
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30.—Relative to the announcement of the
California Railroad Commission regarding a reduction in The Pacific
Telephhone and Telegraph Company’s
intrastate California toll rates, N. R.
Powley, president of the company,
stated:
“Due to the company’s heavy increase in pay rolls and taxes —-pay
rolls at the end of August were, at
an anhual rate, $10,035,000 higher
or 22.6 per cent more than for the
same period a year ago and taxes
have increased approximately $1,500,000 or 16.8 per cent—we have
not felt that it was incumbent upon
us to reduce any of our ‘toll rates.
The Railroad Commission of California have requested us to reduce
our longer haul California intrastate
toll rates due to the contrast of these
rates with the long haul rates in effect for traffic destined to points
outside the state.
“We feel that, in the face of the
most substantial rising labor and tax
expenses ever experienced by our
company, we should not be asked to
take this loss in revenue at this
time. Our rate level in California—
our short haul toll rates and our rates. for exchange service throughout
the state—is one of the lowest in effect and our revenue _ necessities
should, therefore, be protected by
not disturbing our long haul toll
rates.
“All of our operating costs are rapidly rising — in fact if the general
price level, including wages and taxes, continues to rise, obviously, our
telephone rates cannot long continue 2
contrary to the general price trend,
particularly if this trend continues
to accelerate substantially upward.”

FORESTS RISING
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30.—National forest receipts for California
and southwestern Nevada _ totaled
$722,209 during the fiscal year 1937,
according . ,tO»a statement made yesterday by" “Regional Forester S. B
Show at United States Forest Service headquarters in San Francisco.
This figure shows a gain of $178,158 over fiscal year receipts for
1936. ‘
“National forest industries are
continuing a return, to prosperity,”
said Show. “Phe depression low was
$454,856, in 1933. The twelve month
period to June 30 of this year shows
a gain of 58 per cent, over 1933 receipts and nearly a 33 per cent increase over the 1936 figure.’’
Timber sales receipts in Region 5
were $377,230. Grazing permits
yielded $148,962 for the year. Miscellaneous special use and water
power leases brought. proceeds of
$196,017.
Greatest receipts by forests were
made in northern California where
timbered areas and grazing lands are
more extensive. The Plumas. National 'Forest. accrued $170,500 to lead
the 18 forest areas: Lassen, $100,000; ‘Modoc, $86,000; and Tahoe,
$60,000. Southern California forest
receipts came largely from special
use permits and leases on recreational lands, such as in San Bernardino
National Forest where $43,000 was
received and in the Angeles National
Forest which received $39,000.
“Twenty five per cent of the total
receipts from Region 5 is» given to
the states of California and Nevada
as a school fund,’’ Show explained.
“The states. then distribute this
money to._the counties, each county
receiving an amount in proportion
to its total acreage lying within national forest boundaries and depending upon the receipts of those forThis year the two states will
receive $180,552 for county schools.
California will receive most of this
fund because only a small area ih
southwestern Nevada is included in
Forest Service Region 5.
“An additional 10 per cent of tie
gross income is spent for the conests,
struction of roads and trails in the,
national forests of. this region. The .
