fjSENATOR J,
[SAMERVIN
Washington—
and of two columnson Jthe bills
to establish Federal ggtetrars.
saon To Appoint Regis
require the C4V-^^pn»n
gation before they de
termination, they permit the
Commission to conduct such in
vestigation in any arbitrary
manner it selects unfettered by
any rules of law or evidences
and without giving the state
election officials any notice or
any opportunity to be heard.
Since the proceeding is tanta
mount to the removal of the
State election officials from their
Offices insofar as the power to
determine whether voters in
their district are entitled to votei
presidential Electors, Senators'
and Congressmen is concerned,
the bills are utterly repugnant)
to the “due process claioteft of (
the Fifth Amendment. This isi
made manifest by many dec is- 1
iotos of Federal and state courts'
holding that where a public qffi-■
cer\ can be removed only for
caude, the power can be exer
cised- only after notice and an
opportunity to be heard.
Bills Incompatible With Con
stitutional Doctrine of Separa
tion of Governmental Powers.
When he wrote the great ‘opin
ion of the Supreme Court ir.
Martin v. Hunter, Judge Story
said: “The object of the Con
stitution was to establish three
- great departments of govern
ment; the legislative, the execu
tive and the judicial depart
ments. the first was to pass
laws, the second, to approve and
execute them, and the third, to
expound and enforce them.”
This opinion held that Congress
cannot vest any portion of the
judicial power of the United
States in any governmental body
except the courts. Ever since
that decision, it has been held
unconstitutional for Congress to
undertake to vest any portion
of the judicial power of the Fed
eral government in an executive ;
officer or commission.
Vnus is precisely what these 1
bibs undertake to do. This is
made plain when they are read
in the lights of this definition:
“Judicial power is authority . . .
to hear; and determine when (
the rights of persons or proper
ty or the propriety of doing an
act are the subject matter of
_ adjudication.” Under these bills,
the Civil Rights Commission is
to adjudge whether citizens ap-j
plying for registration are de-j
nied their right to vote and
whether the provision of the]
bills requiring the President to
appoint temporary Federal reg
istrars should be enforced.
Bills Autnonxe Appointment
of Carpetbaggers As Federal
Registrars. Temporary Federal
registrars are not required to
possess any qualifications what
ever other than the indefinite]
qualification that they must re-)
side in or near the registration]
district for which they are ap-.
pointed. It has been judicially 1
determined that the term “near"
is wholly relative and locates
nothing with any degree of pre
cisfcn. This being true, resi
dents of one state who hap
pen to be Federal officers or
employees can be transferred to
anther state to determine
wiMther voters in such other
stato possess the qualifications
established by its law for vot
ing for members of the most
numerous branch of the state
legislature. For example, a

dent
When all is said, these bills
are designed to re-establish car
petbag government in some
areas of the United States. Does
Congress want to do this? Why
not try orthodox law? Existing
civil or criminal laws enacted
by Congress provide sufficient
means to vindicate the voting
rights of any citizen of the
United States. Civil rights ad-1
vocates do not like these laws
because such laws require that
allegations must be proved as
well as made by competent
witnesses.
