But tha judge did not go quite far enough, in my opinion. When it was popular to pass "must" bills teat were drawn by brain trusters, professors and theorists, a few years ago, congress passed those tiie bills. Congress added to, expanded and exaggerated the powers of ths bureaucrats. R hss crested such things as the National Labor Rela-.tioboard, tee Federal Trade commission, the Agricultural Adjustment administration, the wage-hou- r division of the department of labor, the Securities and Exchange commission and scores of others. Indeed, it willingly banded over to ell manner of persons the powers to do the very things that Judge Sumners pointed out should never be done under democratic processes, I wish there were ihore space available that I could give samples of how suns of these agencies have used tee powers given them by a formerly subservient congress. They can be summarized only in this space by showing that, for example, a citizen is accused of having faiifd to comply with a certain regulation which is just like a law. The bureau or board having charge of administering that law calls the citizen to account The federal investigator inquires into the situation, makes a report of the "facte ai he sees them. Tbs board may or may not accept those "facts." If it accepts them, as it usually does, it makes them its own flnrfinp. Under many present laws, no court can review those facts. It can receive tee case to see whether tee board has applied the law properly or not But tee finding of "facts must remain forever in the record. They are accepted as true, regardless of how crooked, how stupid or how wreaking with injustice they may be. The bill passed by tha house, and now up to tha senate, will let the courts of justice see those facts. Whether the senate win pass tee biU is, as I have said, a matter of senna conjecture. The senate ought to pass It There probably is need for some amendments. The bin is ter from perfect It has some great gaping boles in It But tee principle Is one of great importance to eU persons who believe that the courts were established to Insure justice for all and that no low ought to be enacted which would hand over judicial power into the hands of Individuals who can do as they like without fear of a spanking from our federal court system.
