But it seems to me that the most important issue of all is only now coming to the surface. Succinctly, it is whether the voters desire to have the various New Deal items made a permanent part of our na- tional government. It is to be recalled that virtually all of the items of the New Deal have been put through congress as Some. of. emergency legislation. them have been tested in courts on a constitutionality basis and have been upheld as emergency laws. But it is necessary to think of the pronouncements by President Roosevelt almost directly asserting his intention to make them permanent. Otherwise, they would expire in June, 1935, a little more than a year from now. The expiration date furnishes the basis for the issue that appears. to be ‘so important. The 435 members of the house of representatives and the 35 senators who are up for election this fall will have been re-elected or defeated eight months in advance of the time when the decision must be made on continuation of the New Deal items that were enacted as emergency laws. Congress, made up of the re-elected or new members, will convene in the first week That will be the of January, 1935. congress to decide what the course shall be. It cannot dodge the ques- tion. If the President requests that the emergency laws be made permanent, and he says he will, the new congress either will do his bidding and re-enact the laws he desires, or it will kill them off by its refusal to act. So the candidates this summer and fall must be prepared to an<swer whether they will support a continuation of the New Deal or That puts . will work against. it. the question up to the voters. _ It is closely akin to a referendum, * & *& I have frequently expressed the opinion in these columns that things have happened so Pate Too Is rapidly under the Swift cannot keep “New Deal” that most of us here with them.

It may be, therefore, that a better understanding of the plot of the play can -be disseminated to the country at large. I hope so, because the decision to be made is momentous. I hope, too, that the campaign will be the hottest we have had in gen- erations. Otherwise, the questions, the issues, will debated.

The figures I have given do not. include the members of the house and senate, nor their employees, nor do they include the scores of work- ers that make up the staff of the house and senate and the employees of the Capitol. ‘The country’s federal judges and their staffs are counted in the totals, but the army, navy and marine officers and enlisted men are not included. Almost 400,000 men. who are enlisted in the Civilian Conservation corps also are omitted. If one figures the average family as four persons, the federal pay- roll provides a livelihood for at least 2,600,000 persons, although I am assured by the Civil Service commission that five persons is a better average than four, in which event government pay checks sustain about 3,250,000. I do not make these statements in criticism. Ours is a vast country and a population of perhaps 127,000,000. But it seems important to me that there should be such a vast number of persons living on ‘government pay * checks. * 8 I mentioned in an graph in this letter earlier parathat one of the Norris issues which Election Plan ‘8 about argument likely to be heard in every state this fall is the proposal to revise the method of electing the President. It is proposed, in effect, to amend the Constitution of the Unit- ed States electing so a that the President States would of method the of United be accomplished by a division of electoral vote in each state proportionately with the division of political party strength as shown by individual ballots, For ex- ample, and as a better way of explaining what is proposed: a state. may be allowed twenty votes in the electoral college.

Now, the Constitutional amendment that is projected would foree a division of those electoral votes so that, as-_ suming the party votes were so divided, eight of the electoral votes would be cast for one candidate and twelve forthe other. The authors of the npiaestae amendment are Senator Norris of Nebraska, and of California. It ans give trol not yet. Representative Lea is the charge of the Republicthat the move is designed to the Democrats perpetual conof the Presidency. They are making that charge out loud They want congress to pass the resolution proposing the amendment to the states, so the: Republican speakers can argue about it all over the country this summer. The point the Republicans are. -making is that the so-called solid South will continue to vote nearly all of its electoral ballots: for the Democratic candidate. The case of Mississippi is cited. It has nine electoral votes. The Republican party is virtually non-existent there. The result would be that—certainly eight, and maybe all, of the nine votes would be cast for the Demoerat, just as they are each four years under the present system. Add to the electoral votes of the South, the gains that would come from such normally two-party states as New York, and the Republicans assert that the result would be permanent control of the government machinery by the Democrats, Representative Lea says, however, that he thinks that a virulent two-party fight would develop in every state in the Union.
