for financial information so far as volume
OF printed matter is concerned.
None OF Mr. Roosevelts commissions
has done so nobIy in the way OF expense
and amplitude Of prospective printed re-
suits as these two. We venture to doubt
whether al OF them together have cost
as much. Some Of them have cost the
government nothing but the printing OF
their reports. others have served in the
hope OF eventual compensation or relm-
bUrsement OF expenses. TO which hope
Congress has latterly turned a deaf ear.
Il has been sought 10 discourage the ap-
pointment Of Executive commissions by
providing IN appropriation bills that no
government officer shah accept voluntary
service. and that government employees
cannot be assigned to duty with any COM
mission not specifically authorized by
Congress. as well as BY refusal 10 pay
the expenses OF unauthorized commits
sions. The probability is. however, that
the Executive has an equal right with
Congress 10 appoint commissions. pro-
vided they are concerned with Executive
business; but as Congress holds the
purse strings. he cannot guarantees their
compensation. Thus, as an Attorney
General said long ago. Executive activity
may be hsmpered where It cannot be
prevented.
