Vol. XVI	LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1964	No. 21
By KICK MARKS Managing Editor
“ . . . Every law is an evil, for every law is an infraction of liberty; and I repeat that government has but a choice of evils . . . the evil of the malady and the evil of the remedy.”
Today this statement, made by the English philosopher Jeremy Bentham 162 years ago. should be the basis of every California voter’s decision in determining the righteousness and credibility of Proposition 14, the proposed constitutional amendment on the Nov. 3 ballot which blends the emotional ingredients of race, morality, economics, property rights and human rights into the most explosive political issue in recent California history.
In reality Bentham’s evaluation is the foundation for laws in civilized society: because no man is perfect, laws are necessary, but because some men possess a greater sense of conscience than others, laws are not applicable to all. From the
most simple of traffic regulations to the most complex restrictions, every law should be based on this principle: does it create a greater wrong than it attempts to correct.
Proposition 14 is the epitome of such a decision in law. It is above all a racial issue, although nowhere in its title or 273 word text is there any reference to race, color or creed. Discussion of the Proposition, because it is based on race, can digress into the perverse tones of bigotry, prejudice, fear and hatred. But it can also rise to a lofty philosophical level, when its proponents discuss it in terms of property rights and its opponents in terms of human rights.
Both parties, no matter how divided, would
agree that if their view prevailed Jeremy Bentham’s major premise would be realized. If the initiative were passed, it would return to property owners the “absolute discretion" to sell, lease or rent their real property, and therefore render void all legislation in this field and restrict the state legislature from passing similar legislation. Proponents of the initiative say that restrictive housing legislation violates society's most basic law — property rights — and therefore any law passed in this area — the Rumford Act, Ilawkins Act. Unruh Act — creates a greater abuse than it remedies.
Opponents of Proposition 14 argue that property rights are not the sole consideration here, that a human right, the right to purchase property, is being violated. They agree that property owners are being restricted in this area, but that it is a necessary restriction of discrimination on the basis of race, color or creed.
This in effect is what the whole argument is
about: whether in passing laws to prohibit racial discrimination the state legislature has taken from the property owners of California a basic freedom, privilege and right to chose their buyers, leasers, and renters, or whether in restricting this right of “absolute discretion” the state legislature is justified on grounds of human dignity.
From this fundamental disagreement evolves the subsidiary discrepencies, including the social dilemma of the housing-job-education cycle which has entrapped Negroes in ghettos, inferior schools and second-rate jobs for years, the economic problem of the deprived Negro and the neighborhood into which he moves, and the myriad of blatant facts and obscure subtleties all involved in this issue.
In order to help the voting students of USC make their decision, the Daily Trojan will present all aspects of this complex and most important issue in the next five issues. We will expand and
