THE INSIDE
NEWS OF
WASHINGTON
BY H. B. HUNT.

WASHINGTON, June 13-The add
ministration has turned thumbs down
on the Norris bill providing for an
agricultural export corporation and
on all similar measures intended for
relieving the farm situation that calls
for a direct appropriation from the
federal treasury.
The administration favors the ere
alton of an outside financial corpor-
alton, through private banking chan
rels, and claims to have had assur-
ances from high financial quarters
that such can be arranged.
Il 4 =
One of the first questions facing
the administration, following the or
ganization of the new Shipping Board
will be the question of abrogation of
commercial treaties provided for by
the merchant marine act of 1920.
Abrogation of these treaties, pro
vided for in the act, has been sus-
pended pending the creation of the
new board. Such abrogation is rec
ognized as opening the way to POS
sibfe retaliatory measures by other
countries and to new limitations and
complexities in our foreign trade re-
lations.
To put our new merchant marine
on a basis for competition with the
worlds shipping, the administration
will approve action by the Shipping
Board writing off as war loss" more
than two billions of its three billions
srent in it's development.
The presidents viewpoint is said
to be that there is no use undertak.
ing to make the ships pay profit or
their war costs The only way they
can be operated successfully is to get
their capital charges down to pre-
war levels.
And as the administration is OPP
posed to a government-owned anC

Efficiency VS.. Democracy

There number of questions being gener-
ally discussed that bring into prominence the oft argued
point of the superior efficiency of centralized and
strong government
The matter of the state road system is good ex-
ample of this On the one side there is demand for
centralized system under the control and direction of
state commissioner, who, it is argued will build and
maintain the state highways in scientific manner, and
with Just regard for the interests of all the people OF
all the state without being influenced by partisan
local favoritism.
On the other side there is objection to the cental-
lied plan, with the assertion that while state commits
sioner with auocratic power might bring all those good
results there certainty that he would be any
free from partisan local pnrtia. than great
majority of his fellow citizens And it is further
alleged that if the commissioner not impartial he
would by the of his greater powers be able to do
more harm than could be done by board of several
persons representing various interests.
The principle here involved is not new and it is not
rare public matters. 1t undcrlies many of the qucs-
tions that being discussed in relation TO
onal and city government, and has been under
discussion since began talk about their
cial affairs.
We have made at least progress toward
understanding of these matters when VIC realize that
the real question is not whether shall have auocrsc
efficiency democratic inefficiency but only the pre-
else degree of the compromise between these two.
In ever, activity of government there must be autl-
orty, and there must also be limitation of authority
and the practical problem is to combine these that
Is, to give power and at the time 10 limit power
in such way to produce the best probable results.
There must be such arrangement that the good Off
cisl his power for the public benefit but the
arrangement must be also such that the public interests
will be protected from the weak, the incompetent or the
bad official
1t is not easy matter 10 make this compromise
between autocracy and democracy, but be DONE
and to tho degree in which it is done successfully laws
work for the welfare of the people

Congressional Redistricting

A Chieftain editorial recently called attention to
the fact that boundaries of the congressional
districts in Colorado established for partisan
the advantage of the Der.ocratic party. The
bill introduced by Senator Peterson changes the bound

out mourning any just charge of being unfairly par
san the Republican side
Clear Creek, Gilpn and Jefferson counties, now in
the Third or Pueblo district, placed by the Peterson
bill in the Second Northeastern district, where they

Arkansas valley in congressional district For sni
lar reason, Ell Paso county Colorado Springs

bill in the third district where it proporly belongs
With the boundaries fixed by the Peterson bill
the first and second districts will have about the
population; the third district considerably and
the fourth district less than the other two. This in
equality might be partially remcded by transferring
the five counties of the San Luis group from the Arkan
valley district to the Western Slope district This

presumption that they would prefer for geographical
and railroad reasons be in the third rather than in
the fourth district.
