Government Endangered.
Cincinnati Enquirer

In a recent statement Secretary of Commerce Hoov- CT quoted regretting the bureaucratic tendency lin Government He only voices the growing sentl- men in the United States against the incessant crea tion bureaus and commissions, which tend to null tipy the activities and augment the expense of ha- tional Administration of affairs In the long history world, all bureaucratic governments have been expensive governments and the expenditure Of puohc funds raised by the various tax levies and other revenue producing schemes has been in proportion to the expansion of bureaucracy.
 This Government planned to be democracy It was designed to government of the people, by the people for the people. The original plan o Government was simplicity itself For century or longer the fullest of simplicity was prac- ticed The Government attended to Federal affairs and the states to state affairs and, in turn the ktates left municipalities certain local matters
 The whole scheme of Government is changing. The states are abrdging the authority of the mun cipaties and the Congress and other arms of the national Government abridging the authority of the All political parties are more or less lax in defense of the original American democracy.
 The Federal Government is being bound around with cords of bureaucracy until the administration of public interests through Washington is going and more into the hands of bureaus and commis- sions Expenses are increasing according to the ambitions of these bureaus to expand their activities and prolong their existence. Appropriations have grown with the growth of the bureau system that were there no debt to demand almost billion of dollars annually of taxes for interest the expenses of administration sill would be than billion of dollars year than they before the war.
 The United States is a great nation Each true American desires it be There is general agree ment that it should be preserved and greater. At the same time it cannot be regarded unAmeri- can as reasonable, to warn that at the pace we are going there is danger that being over natonalized There is danger that the states, the municipalities the individuals will be entirely sup pressed by the city on the Potomac There is serious danger that the creature will become greater than it's creators-that will be by the people To prevent this need not be primitive in our democracy as the people of Switzerland have continued for centuries to be- still maintaining their mass assemblages and direct elections But must
 get back to American democracy and do away entirely with that insinuating foreign-bred evil, bureaucracy

have fallen off more than rs per
cen in the past W years" he says
Crooks are realizing that crime

terror that helped bring about this
slump.
Life of Thrills
There have been more thrills in
Fiaschetti's life than in any detec-
tive story he ever read.
"And l sure did gobble them
when l was a boy" the great Italian
sleuth says smiling. They gave
me my start.

a wealthy labor contractor, who
wasn't averse to making a little side

anyone who killed a policeman. His
place had been raided and he want
