Mr.. PATTANGALL OVERLOOKED

Mr.. Pattangall would give the i'm
preston of being perturbed because
he State is spending more money
han did the Curtis administration
before we went into the war. He
would have us understand that this
s because OF extravaganza. One
may conjecture that Mr. Pattangall
s paying more for running his house
hold this year than he paid in 1916.
Does he attribute that to the ex-
ravagance Of the Wilson admins
ration or to the fact that the
!. Iarding administration has reduced
Expenditures by a billion and a half?
BY the way, in his haste setting out
or "a campaign conducted on legiti-
mate lines" as he says, he appears
Entirely to have overlooked the prun-
.ng of expenditures which President
Harding has secured.

Shortage Mark

Providence, Il. l.. June 23-The
shortage of dwellings for the country
as a whole is today estimated at
somewhat over two and a half years
production, John Ihldcr. manager of
the Civic Development Department,
United states Chamber of Commerce.
said today in an address before the
National Conference Of Social Work
here. In some cities the shortage IS
estimated at nearly four years pro-
ducton in others, at approximately
one and a half years, and even less,
Mr.. Ihdcr said.
Up to the fall of 1921 or the be
ginning of 1929 housing conditions
were growing worse" lie declared.
Now however, the tide has turned
and though we cannot expect house
building to continue Ions at its pres
cnt speed we may hope that it will
continue to exceed current increase
OF need and so gradually reduce the
shortage. COinCidentally we may eN-
pect that building prices will come
down, not steadily, but withloccasion-

put within the means of constantly
larger proportion of the people until
the day comes when the old process
sion is once more started from poor
er houses to better houses. making
available to families Of small means,
the old but adequate houses that are
still habitable."
Mr.. Ihlder warned against "shoddy
construction" as short cut TO ade-
quate housing. urging retention Of
good minimum standards in house
building. adequate size and number
of rooms, open spaces and honest
construction"
The extension Of zoning regulation
in the United States he said. was
the one important exception to the
backward process which ceased and
became progress only a few months

UnmuzzIing the Cabinet
u. y. TriI,une(

tN. J. lrlDunc)
In pointing out the weakness Of 4
system which requires the Secretary
Of State to negotiate a treaty, but
forbids his explaining or defending
it on the floor of the Senate when its
ratification is being considered by
that body, Mr.. Hughes has again
brought to light an ancient evil.
There need be no question Of a
change in the form of government or
OF making the Cabinet members in
anv way submissive to the legisla-
ture Nor is it necessary for them to
have a vote in either house, or even a
seat. But common sense suggests the
wisdom of permitting them to appear
before Congress to eluCidatc meas
ures of their departments which re-
uuire Congressional sanction. Why
strike a secretary dumb for the sake
of 4 tradition? True. he can report
in writing and can confer with COM
mittee numbers. But does this in
sure intelligent cooperation between
the executive and the legislative
branches Of the government?
The Fathers lodged this question
IN the CONSTITUTIONS. L Hel1 tDnltIfl-
poraries in the first House of Repre-
sentatives treated it dffidently. 1t
called upon Alexander Hamilton to
report upon the public credit, but
failed to specify whether he should
present his report in person. When
he sent word that his document was
ready the question was raised wheth-
er he might defend and explain it on
the floor of the House. The final vote
required him to submit it in writ
ing. He was not admitted in person.
Today the fear then felt is still wide
spread, and Mr.. Hughes may expect
his proposal to be condemned by all
sticklers for tradition.
A similar tradition already has
been shattered during the Harding
Administration by inviting the Vice
President to sit at Cabinet meetings.
Common sense prompted that move.
Can common sense deny the validity
of Secretary Hughes contention that
lit is quite consistent with our IS
tenn that the head of a department
should have the opportunity person.
ally TO be heard where important de-
partmental measures and policies are
under consideration?

'Tf you elect me Governor / shall
never live in it (the executive man
sion) for l am not accustomed to
living under such conditions" So
declares Mr.. Pattangall. One may
understand that giving up his beauti
full home here at the capital and
living in the executive mansion might
be rather annoying. However, We
do not think he is at all apprehen-
sive. Mr.. Pattangall is reputed
somewhat of a philosopher and I'M
doubtedly is familiar with that old
story of the fox relinquishing the
high growing grapes on the pretext
that they were sour.
