They base this on the fact that the so called power trust is In a last ditch hght for Its life and they know that the combination of financial In terests which make up this trust Is a strong and ruthless political in Roosevelts opponents charge he has attacked the Supreme cnrt and declared that a dictatorship must be arranged for bv a change in the Constitution, neither of whith I was there and heard is correct whit he said. He expressed deep reverence for the court and ex plained what a tough situation we would be in if we had to follow lit eralty the courts Intel pretation of interstate commerce in the NR decision. It would really put us back to the days before railroads Some one asked him If he thought the matter would have to be remedied bv a constitutional amendment and Roosevelt replied that it need not be so, but that the people would some day have to deride whether the national government was gomg to handle social problems In a na tlonal way or whether the public wanted such problems handled bv 4S states in 4S ways. That s all there is to that. - Where the President Does His Dirt Farming SPRING DISHES Roosevelt has been fighting the power trust all his life and if his bill to regulate holding companies and kill the worst of them Is en acted, he will have beaten the biggest political foe any man ever had That bill passed the senate and is before the house and a financial empire greater than the national government Itself is arrayed against Its passage; also arrayed against D the of IranUin Roosevelt The reason for Roosevelts fight on the power trust Is because It operates the most effective political drag In the country; the most reactionary force with which the progressive element has to deal. It is linked with every large Interest which has fought such things as conservation of natural resources, labor legislation, federal supervision of Industry, and its personnel Is made up largely of the type of men who would naturally put property right above human right and pro gresslve social legislation. No one realizes that the power domain represents an Investment of more than $25,000 000 000, which Is two and a half times the staggering sura Europe owes us for the war; It Is also closely linked with the in dustries which furnish supplies to the power business; and the vast picture of Its Interlocking Influence, so Senator George Norris of Nebraska says, would require a chart just one mile square I ' The men at the head of these vast enterprises appear to deal in fear as easily as In electricity ; they can Influence millions of stockholders and employees of their own and allied concerns. This is the reason for the sudden recrudescence of strength In the Republican party and the lashing which Roosevelt Is now getting In the metropolitan press. The power people are especially sore on the Tennessee Valley authority or TVA. They have engineered a series of pitfalls for TVA legislation; they have made the most of Controller John MeCarls criticisms of TVA accounting. Is the man who reports to congress only and sees to It that money Is spent according to the law; but he has the sort of mind that sees the flaws and not the major perfections of the greater pattern. The TVA government owned power plants are designed to give power a rates third of that about at charged with private power plants and no wonder the power trust Is sore. However, the New Deal did not rlglnate the Idea of government owned power dams on the public domain; the Boulder dam, the Coulee dam and other vast projects of this sort originated under Republican administrations; but the power trust has always been able to keep them slowed up until the present administration. rl "GRASS ROOTS MEETING. There Is a close relationship between the power trust and the recent so called grass roots gathering of the old time Republican chieftains at Springfield, 111. a Midwest group of G. 0. P. stalwarts. The whole thing, from the poisonous and untruthful attack on the New Deal to Its wordy and meaningless declarations of principle has the appearance of having been controlled by the old time leaders rather than having been a spontaneous uprising of the people from among the grass roots of the prairies. The main consideration among the Midwest Republicans Is the farm policy ; and they cant alTord to shoot that full of holes, as the Republicans themselves would offer the farmers the same sort of thing that AAA offers only under a different label. The Republicans say that AAA is all right, but It should be administered by Republicans Instead of New Dealers Republicans are appealing to the popular reverence for the Supreme court, which Is smart politically for the court represents our highest It takes a brave politician Ideals. to critic'ze the Supreme court; but none other than Lincoln had the temerity to criticize the court after the Dred Scott decision had na tionalized slavery, and led the way ta a change in the Constitution. Had the fathers of this Republic decided to freeze the Constitution as It was originally adopted, we would not have today even the bill of rights, as the first ten amendments are termed. at Washington. are hearing complaints centralizing We bureaucratic about government these days, too ; but people forget also that government bureaus are extremely helpful. Would the critics stop the weather bureau, for Instance; or the bureau of fisheries, which has kept the w aters from being depleted of tbe finny tribe. The bureau known as the biological survey has done for our wild life of the fields and forests what the bureau of fisheries has done for the waters. The bu reau of animal Industry is responsi ble for having placed under control most of the scourges, such as hog cholera, bovine tuberculosis and similar threats to farm animals The bureau of reclamation has reclaimed and irrigated millions of acres of land. The bureau of good roads has remade America; aDd Is largely responsible for the development of the modern highway. It has spent hundreds of millions of dollars, sharing It with the states, which have had no hesitancy in accepting these funds. It is even now preparing to spend $200,000,000 with the states on the elimination of highway grade crossings at railways. You will find no one refusing to accept the aid of this or any other bureau on the ground that the states themselves should provide the money aDd take ill the responsibility. The publicyliealth bureau has driven most t the dread disease epidemics from our shores. Critics of the PWA expenditure of Its billions for public works use no restraint at all, charging that the government has wasted this huge sum; when as a matter of fact It has gone and Is going Into tangible wealth for the Republic. Ore of the best things It has done Is to permit the railroads to step up Into the stream line era. This was done on government money ; but the railroads are to repay It Railroads are putting In long stretches of electric track; Installing high speed electric locomotives, and air cooled trains ; making rail tiavel comfortable. This means a new era In transportation ; and new eras bring their own prosperity. Of $4,000,000,000 the sum of $2,525,000,000 has been spent by the government or by the Institutions which have borrowed from this Bum for public work Including cities. Tbe rest has been al lotted and will be spent Every project has met the test of usefulness; every project has put men to work, not only on the job Itself but behind the lines In factories and mines. Economists figure that all told these PWA projects have put 4,000,000 men to work . INTERLOCKING DIRECTORATES. While congress is wrestling with the interlocking units of the power trust, the government Is taking a crack at the Interlocking directorates In the telephone and telegraph systems. The federal communications commission rules that officers of the telephone and telegraph companies can hold one job; and one only. These telephone and telegraph chiefs have been go Interwoven that It Is hard to tell where one company ends and one leaves off; or who owns what company. About ten officials are concerned ; chief of thelm being Walter S. Gifford, president of the American Telephone and Telegraph company, which Is the daddy of the Bell system ; David Sarnoff, president of the Radio Corporation of America; Sos thenes Behn, president of the International Telephone and Telegraph company. These three magnates con trol the systems by which the people talk and telegraph to each other; and the most Influential In many ways la Walter Gifford, head of the Bell system. But behind the smooth and gen erally good telephone service there la a financial dictation which this government wants to look Into; for that reason the government Is nn dertaklng Its tremendous investlga tion Into the American Telephone and Telegraph company, and Is In tent on breaking up the interlock Ing directorates by which local Bell companies are actually run from New York. 6 Western Newspaper Union Snoring, observes the Manchester Guardian, has been called a disease of civilization, on the ground that savages do not snore because the man who gave amlitile announcement en egg whites and s of In that way of the presence of hima cupful of freshly shredded cocoself and other tribesmen In the nut Chill before serving with a of nil enemy would get short tlilr custard, using the yolks of the shrift.
