Show UINTAH BASIN RECORD Golden Gate Bridge Opened to Motor Traffic hhiiwh It nearly always Washington. happens in the second term of any President that the Congress congress begins to shows signs of as Balks serting its own will. This is perfectly natural. Members of the house and senate recognize, or have recognized in the past, that when a President enters onto his second term he has little more in the way of trading to offer them. That is to say, the President has about exhausted political appointments and, except for special pieces of legislation, the Chief Executive cannot compensate house and senate members with political plums. The New Deal congress in Mr. Roosevelts first term was subservient, indeed It gave him everything he asked. But now there are encouraging signs of a more independent attitude on the part of congress. I use the word independent" to mean that congress has begun to examine legislative proposals from the White House in the light of the viewpoint of individual representatives and senators instead of an examination solely in the light of the argument presented by the President. The Supreme court reorganization proposal brought the first sign of independence by congress. This sign broke out in the senate and there are many who believe that the senate will never yield on the Presidents proposal to pack the court with any additional justices of his own choosing It is possible that, as we view history from, say ten years hence, the Supreme court reorganization plan will be shown to have been the straw that broke the Presidents control over a congress in which his party has more than two thirds of the members. Several other legislative proposals from the White House have met or are meeting real difficulties. One of them that must be regarded as important is the relief fund proposition. I imagine that, in the end, the President will get the full billion and a half that he has requested for relief purposes but the controversy over relief funds is significant For instance, and as an example of the undercurrent of feeling in congress, the house took a nasty slap at Relief Administrator Harry Hopkins. The nouse did it in a way designed to make Mr Hopkins peevish It cut his salary as relief administrator by two thousand dollars a year Now, a cut from $12,000 to $10,000 probably is unimportant as far as the monetary affect is concerned, but it was the same ihing as if the house had turned Mr Hopkins across its knees and had given him a couple of good spanks What it does, actually, is to show Mr Hopkins that the house is still its own boss and it demonstrates as well the house has some spunk left. In addition to the relief fund controversy, congress is giving evidence also of more constructive opposition to control from the White House over all national policies For example, the new farm bill is undergoing very critical analysis by the house agriculture committee. While this measure to establish what Secretary Wallace calls the "ever-nor-mgranary and to revive control over important farm groups was not sent to congress from the White House, everyone understands it has White House indorement House leaders accept it, at least, as representing the principle AAA and, therefore, as being representative of the Presidents ideas. Leaders of the farm bloc in the house are quite skeptical of the plan Naturally, it is too early to forecast what is going to happen on this piece of legislation but it is important to note that the house is giving close and independent study instead of rushing the legislation through merely because the administration announced it was favorable to the proposition. There is discontent in the senate also. Mr. Roosevelts farflung govbill has ernment reorganization touched so many sensitive spots that some doubt actually exists whether it will get through at all, even after revision. The feeling in the senate on this matter is so widespread that Democratic Leader Robinson made a statement the other day to the effect that failure of the senate to pass the bill will be no public calamity. If their skepticism leads to a more systematic and thorough scrutiny of tins bill and other pieces of legislation, it seems likely in my opinion that some costly blunders may be avoided. The trouble with congress, however, when it gets into the humor we now observe, is that many times it does things the wrong way. After all, members of the house and senate are human and they flock together behind the boll cow, if that bell cow succeeds in stirring up enough excitement. Take tl e controversy over the relief funds, as a case in point. It is plain that the house feels that Mr. Roosevelt does not require a billion I.IWII ... ...wx r ,soooor. AW m' " V x Clothes That LooklhTpJi ... and a half in new money for relief. But the house apparently does not have the courage to take an out and out position in accordance with its conviction. So it is trying to dodge the real issue by holding out for a provision in the bill that would set aside half a billion of the total for use exclusively on permanent public works under Secretary Ickes as public works administrator. (Secretary Ickes and Relief Aministrator ' Hopkins long have been snarling at each other.) . .. To get down to cases on this relief fund controversy, it actually happens that the real argument Is on the side of Mr. Roosevelt Either .A. he needs the whole amount for refO is? 4 iA 3 lief or he does not and there is little sense in the house taking a run around the rosebush to cover a feel4 ing of revenge. Thus, the house Is sbowm in a rather bad light If it has First automobiles shown arriving in San Francisco from Marin county across the Golden Gate bridge, fol spunk enough to spank Mr. Hopkins Mayor Angelo Rossi of San Franand if it does not believe that the lowing the recent gala opening of the span to motor traffic. Inset shows Waldo approach to traffic. the a chain an with thus cisco torch, officially opening cutting acetylene amount he full the President needs has requested, then why does not the house approve of only a billion DETROIT BISIIOP $500 and stick to that position? There is another phase of this house revolt on relief funds that l ' f , ought to be examined. I mentioned 8 earlier that the members of the house and senate no longer expected political plums from the White House. Now they are trying to get close to the political pie counter in another manner. If they can get part of the relief funds allocated for permanent public works, they have their snouts in the political trough of the old pork barrel There is a natural reaction for politicians when money Is to be passed out and the house has been displaying that reaction to the fullest on the relief funds. The proposition, simmered dowm, is, however, that the time has long passed when pork barrel methods can be tolerated in congress. It is not a sound principle of representative government and it is not economical On the other hand, it seems to me that Mr. Roosevelt cannot escape responsibility for revival of the pork Bishop Edward Mooney of barrel custom. Throughout his first Rochester, N.

What! billion. thirty-si- x The Treasury's latest borrowing of new money caused some surprise because it had been thought that the June 15 income tax payments would put the Treasurys balance sufficiently high to carry the government for another month or Mr. Rootwo. Notwithstanding sevelts declarations that government expenses must be cut, they are continuing to expand and, consequently, it has been necessary to borrow more money in order to keep the machinery of government operating It is impossible to discuss the latest Treasury loan without linking to it the question of the administrations gold policy and, It ls impossible to mention the gold policy without relating that the United States now has more than twelve billions in gold The United States f of thus has approximately all the gold in the world. This would seem to make our nation the richest in the world, but having all of this gold stock is a very expensive proposition under the administrations gold policy For one thing, the care and handling of it Is an item of cost that is tremendous. No one seems to know how the administration will untangle itself from the gold policy. If the United States continues to maintain the present price of gold, just so long will other nations ship gold to the shores of America. We have seen gold entering the United States at the rate of sixteen million dollars a day for some days. Of course, that is an abnoimal rate but the imports have been so high that presently, if the present pace is maintained we will have all of tile gold and its value will be questionable as a f in trade.
