President have created more than the usual exMetaaget citement attend Cause Stir ant upon such things as the new session has settled down to its annual consideraIn each of tion of public affairs these were Presidential declarations that are beginning to rever-- ‘ berate and that means they are highly controversial In Mr Roosevelt’s annual mes- sage “on the state of the union” he took occasion to tell congress Thow much he appreciated Its “eo- He followed operation” with him that bit of back patting with probably the bpldest statement he has made sineb entering the White House four years ago for the first He called upon the Supreme term Court of the United States in a roundabout way to with the other two branches of the government the legislative and executive The other wave of excitement not to say disturbance was caused by the President’s special message asking congress for a wholesale redeorganization of the executive and agencies — calling partments this proposal a plan for modernizing the government One can circulate through the corridors and offices of the Capitol and office buildings and hear aplenty and even a considerable bit of outspoken criticism of by senators and representatives the two circumstances I have menThere are many members tioned of the legislative branch who are entertaining a feeling that the demand for Supreme court was equivalent to carrying the But that part ball out of bounds of the Presidential pronouncement is not likely in the end to produce the battle on the floor of the senate or house that will result from some phases of his “modernizing” program The fact is that our national government has become a structure insofar as the executive agencies are concerned that sprawls out like an octopus About 75 per cent of these units and agencies are products of the New Deal recovery cross purprogram: they work inat their own they move poses sphere and make their own policies with almost no direction from House the White Certainly the time is ripe to clean up that mess Yet in cleaning up these conditions in reorganizing it is undoubtedly the consensus of those charged with responsibility for the job that common sense must be used and discretion employed or else untold damage will be done to the government and to the whole economic structure of the naton including the taxpayers '' its rate making power straight into the laps of the politicians Of course the Presidential message on this point appears on its face to provide against the end that I have mentioned but old timers in congress point out how this wedge will driven only a little further bring about political domination of the ICC necessary here to set the potential dangers that can emanate Potential from political con- trol of such a vast Dangera - structure - as the railroads of the United States It is unlimited in its possibilities Danin are inherent gers any program of that kind with which the politicians are identified and it appears to be a circumstance in which conif it is going to serve the gress should call a halt people properly As to the general accounting office and the plant to include it in the Treasury again under the rule of an auditor general the reorganization scheme simply will set control of public expenditures back a quarter of a century One of the earlier Presidents made no effort to conceal the use that could be made of the auditing unit of the government when he said on an occasion where the chief auditor ruled an expenditure illegal that if it the were not possible to change ruling under the law it still was possible to change the chief auditor a charge that I am not makingthe present administration desires to spend congressional appropriations illegally but one cannot dodge the conversations that are taking place around the Capitol in which legislators recall how President Roosevelt criticized John R Me Carl when he was comptroller general for a decision that prevented use of public money in a manner deTo sum up sired by the President this particular phase of the situation one hardly need to say more than that if the auditor general of the Secretary is a subordinate of the Treasury he is likely to take orders from the Secretary of tfie Treasury whoever that Secretary And since the Secretary may be of the Treasury is an appointee of the President and serves only at the President’s pleasure in my mind a link is established whereby the White House again will conof legality and trol determination of expenditures illegality Congress created the general accounting office in order that it would have an agency independent of the Chief Executive and the executive departments to keep tab or how those executive agencies expended the money which congress apThat was the reason propriated of the office why comptroller generr al was made to carry a appointment with removal only or misfeasance for malfeasance Now it is proposed to tear down that structure and bring the whole auditing organization under a cabinet officer But there is another phase to be considered It has been my good fortune to be in Washington during the entire life of the general as well as for sevoffice accounting eral years before Of my own knowledge I can say that the general accounting office has recovered millions of dollars of illegally disbursed funds as well as prevented illegal disbursement of other millions It is hardly down all of Presidential reorganization program was sweeping in character and that is the Reorganization reason why it has run into obstacles Program For example the plan calls for placing the interstate commerce commission' the general accounting office the federal trade commission and the civil service commission largely inside of departments over which Now a cabinet officers preside cabinet officer is and always has been in the past a political aphad who been individual an pointee active in promotion of a party campaign and usually one who has There seems
