The National Outlook
Supreme Court Breaks New Ground Again
By Korev
It is not customary for this
space to be used for a discussion
of legal developments. 4 But
when there is something in tha;
field which is certain to have an
influence upon the financial and
economic life of the nation, it;
properly falls within the scope
of this column. In the past tew
days there has been a decision
of the United States Supreme
Court which is of this character. :
This was the decision giving
federal courts the power to rule
upon apportioning ol seals 1 1:
state legislatures. Heretofore,
the Supreme Court has refused
to have anything to do with 1
this problem. The current de- 1
cision thus breaks new ground, j
and it is being said that it is
the most important finding since;
the one ordering desegregation 1
in 1954.
The case arose because in the
majority of our states, rural
voters have substantially more
power .in selecting members of,
legislatures than their propor
tion of the population isdicates'
they should have. The correct
means for handling this would
be reapportionment by the
states themselves. But in many,
many cases the states have <-
fused to do this, and the urban
and suburban voters have be
come increasingly aroused. The
particular case which w;ts
brought to the Supreme 'Court
was from Tennessee. The con
stitution off that state requir s
reapportionment every ten years
but it has not been done sin e
1901, because of the strength of
rural voters. j
The economic importance of
the decision arises from the fact
that rural voters are more con
servative than those from ur>.:t i
or suburban areas. This is true
in every section of the count i.v.
Weakening this conservative
strength will have ramifications
of extremely broad character.!
And since the decision mav ;* 1- •
so result in forcing change; so i
ongressional districts, the eff-e's;
may involve national legislation, j
One of the almost certain re
sults at the state level will be
to require rural citizens to pay
larger taxes. This would come
about by putting an end to the

i unrealistically lpw real estate
i assessments on farms and farm
: equipment and bdildings. Such
a change would give the states
i more funds, but it does not fol-,
. low that less demands will be
. made upon the federal govern- 1
■ ment. Both conservatives and ■
no.;-conservatives tend to regard
i federal funds as free money, but
the non-eonscrvatives are the
huger spenders. The net es
; feet, thus, probably. will be in-,
■ creased demands for federal aid. |
■ i Another result that must bei
expected is less effort to keep
labor unions under reasonable
1 restraint. Specifically those
states which have right-to-work
j laws will be under increasing
pressure to eliminate them, and
the chances of getting addition
-1 al states to pass such laws will
|be appreciably diminished. Wej
believe in properly-run labor,
unions, but in neither the union
shop or the closed shop, and a
, curtailment of the conservative
element in state legislatures
will enhance such compulsory
membership.
It a'so is the non-conserva
tives who believe in concentrat
ing power in the hands of gov
s rnrnent. We already have
moved far in that direction, both
at the state level and in the
federal government. In the
Congress, conservatives today
have a hard time fighting off
unsound measures, and if still
more ■ non-conservatives are
elected to either the House or
the Senate, such victories will
become impossible.
Now all these are long-term
effects. It will take years for
this court decision to work its
way through our political struc
ture. But this does not lessen
its signifianee, and there is no
way that it can be offset.
