I have heard from many sections of the country, and the story was the same; politics. That is only partly true. Obviously, the house members had their weather eye on the political aftermath of what they were doing when they refused even to give consideration to Mr. Roosevelt's spending-lendin- g plan that originally involved more than $3,000,000,000. They considered politics, too, when they refused to debate the merits of the $800,000,000 housing bill, although I believe they should have debated that thing in order that the country could know that It would have cost several billion dollars of taxpayers' money before it is finally wound up 60 years hence. ". ' Not Politics Alone Moved House to Oppose President The refusal of the house members to do the bidding of the Chief Executive must be examined in something mere than just a political light however, because of the two provisions of the Constitution that I quoted. It must be recalled that the authors of the Constitution contrived to build a national legislative body with a dual purpose: 1. to represent the Union of states which is accomplished through the senate, and, 2. to represent the individual citizens which is accomplished through the house of representatives. The house, therefore, is held to be the body more responsive to individual thinking among the people and to react more quickly to changes In public sentiment. . That matter of having taxation originate In the house, therefore, is seen to be an attempt to reflect in the legislative acts the willingness or unwillingness of the people to stand for taxes, since the house members must stand for election each two years. Again, when the Constitution said that appropriations had to be enacted as law before money is paid out of the treasury, there was a patent curb on wild and profligate spending. The house, being closer to the people, first felt the call of the people for government spending and responded. Since the senators, too, are elected by direct vote of the people, they also heard the siren call and voted out money with the greatest of ease. But the house led the way. Lately, however, there has been a change in that individual thinking. The majority of the people have begun to wonder where all of this spending was going to end; they began to wonder how the national debt now well above $45,000,000,000 would ever be paid. They smelled fresh taxes. The senate heard, but failed to heed, this new call. Senators chiseled and nibbled at curtailment, but they did not put their mind to the business of cutting expenditures. It was the house that led the way, again. And, as I said earlier, they acted definitely by refusing even to debate the two cornerstone bills the spending-lendinbill and the housing bill. g Action of House Reflects Will of Peopte on Spending It is made to appear, therefore, that the concept of the Constitution's authors was correct They felt that the house would hear from home, as we say these days. And the house has heard. Politics, alone, was not responsible except insofar as politics represents the 6hifts In position that statesmen must take to meet the changes in public sentiment The bulk of the people, it seems, bave suddenly awakened to the fact that something must be done about the continued spree upon which the federal government has been engaged in the last five r si" r's. The refusal of the house to act cannot be catalogued otherwise than as reflecting the will of the people, for the politician who knows his onions seldom is seen going in the wrong direction if the votes of his constituents are concerned. . Whether the economy wave that swept through the house in the last few weeks of a session that is destined to be historically important will be maintained in the next session of the Seventy-sixt- h congress, of course, is a matter of conjecture. It is to be noted that primaries for nominations come along early next spring and summer. Following those primaries in natural sequence are the November elections. If the members of the house and senate who have balked at running the federal government further into debt take the same position in the session starting next January, then I am inclined to the opinion that our nation will be on the way out of its troubles. I always hedge statements about congress, however, because politicians will sometimes place party above principle. They might deem it necessary to buy a few votes with taxpayers' money in advance of the primaries next year. Whether the representatives and senators have such ideas in mind, or not, I wish the voters would put every one of them on the spot by demanding to know whether they are going to let this nation go any further into debt The debt now is so large that each of us is going to pay and pay and pay In taxes, and after we have passed on, our children and theirs will pay. , I I ft' 11 ( K By WILLIAM BRUCKART WNU Service, National Press Bldg., Washington, D. C. WASHINGTON. The Constitution f the United States that document that has served us so well notwithstanding the razzing given it by enlightened thinkers of recent years-s- ays in Article 1 that "all bills for raising revenue shall originate In the house of representatives." It further says with an emphasis that, "no moneys shall be drawn from the treasury but In consequence of appropriations made by law." There is, of course, nothing at all new in the above paragraph. It is important, however, to remember those provisions of the basic law of our nation for in them again we see wisdom and a rather clear understanding of what happened just before congress adjourned its first session. It is as though the authors of the Constitution were laying a prophecy when one considers the recent revolt of the house of representatives against President Roose- I f ' W IV 1 i ! son or daughter to college?

Stat St. 4th So. w- The smashing of the administration's scheme, of course, did have its political repercussions and Mr. Roosevelt, feeling the toe of a stiff boot as he obviously did feel such a political blow, will be carrying bis case to "the people" soon. He said in a press conference one day that "the people were entitled to know who was responsible," meaning the congress. He also suggested that the people ought to know in advance why there would be more unemployment and why there would be new taxes to pay for relief. All of which sounds rather like an admission of failure. That is to say, these schemes of spending, of pump priming, of creating new and greater debt, all have failed in returning the country to anything like a normal condition. We have nothing to show for something like $25,000,000, 000 so expended excepting the bonds of the United States government that are outstanding. New Dealers, however, are still battling. I noted one of them said the other day that an extra session of congress In November of this year was surely a necessity. That proposal will bear watching.

Particularly, has this been true in the matter of handling money. Congress obeyed the dictates of the Constitution by appropriating the money, but it did not do that which there certainly is a duty to do, namely, see that the money is spent properly. In an examination of the latest spending-lendinscheme put forward by the President and rudely shattered by the house, therefore, it strikes me that another device to get more power away from congress was being proposed. In the first place, there was little, if any, hope that recovery could come out of the program. We have seen only slightly different schemes flop annually for several years. Further, these plans that are temporarily out of the window appeared to me to be a trick to evade the law in that the financing was to be done without consideration of the national budget and finances.
