Something For the
White House Spokes-
man to Explain

TC1ENATOR GEORGE w. NORRIS of Ne
~ braska, on the floor of the United States
Senate Saturday, read a letter from William s.
Culbertson to Edward P. Costigan. The letter
related an extraordinary story It dealt with
the reappointment Of David J. Lewis Of Mary
land to the United States Tariff Commission, of
which Culbertson and Costigan also were mem
bers.
AS told in this letter here is what hap
pened:
President Coolidge called Culbertson to
the White House and told him he intended to
reappoint Lewis. He said he wanted Lewis in
accepting, to give him at the same time his res
ignation. This resignation the President would
hold, prepared to accept at any time he saw
fit. He had Culbertson write down form of
resignation for Lewis to use.
Culbertson communicated the Presidents
wishes to Lewis. Lewis called upon the Presi-
dent and told him he could not accept the ap-
pointment under such an amazing condition.
He suggested that the President tear up the
commission he had prepared and forget it, The
President indicated anger, but said he would
make the appointment any how. Which he
u.
pointment,' good only until the Senate could
confirm or reject it. When, some months later,
the Senate convened, Mr.. Lewis nomination
was not sent to the Senate by the President
and his appointment expired The President
named another man in his stead.
Behind this episode there lay the fact that
Culbertson, Costigan and Lewis were prepar-
ing report recommending a reduction of the
very high tariff on sugar. The three consti-
tuted majority of the commission, so far as
the sugar investigation was concerned due to
the fact that one of the three other members
was disqualified from acting. (This was H. H.
Classic, whose family is in the sugar business
Congress, by special action, debarred him from
participating in the sugar reportC The Presi-,
dent determined the sugar tariff should
not be reduced and that the tariff commission s
information should not be made public.
The election was coming on. The fact of
the sugar investigation was known. Dropping
Lewis from the tariff commission at that time
would have had an ugly look and possibly
bad effect on the President campaign
The President s reasons were perfectly
clear, although not very pretty. But that is
not the point which has the chief significance.
1t is this:
The United States Tariff Commission was
created to take the writing of tariff schedules
out Of the hands Of manufacturers who profit
most from them. 1t is not branch of the
executive department, but has an independent
status. 1t is expected to make it's findings of
fact and recommendations and then to allow
the President and Congress to act as they see
fit on the information thus provided By every
implication of the law the President as well as
Congress, must keep hands off this commission,
just as they must keep hands off the courts 1t
is intended to be free of all control, simple

These are the principles of

THE SIMPLICITY OF

mankind had begun to associate

ship was concerned principally
with the relation of the individ ual
to his family and to his tribe. The
principles of good citizenship in

from those holding in tribal times.
Due to invention and the organic
alton of society, the me thods have
changed somewhat and the DrOce-
dure has increased somewhat in
completely, but. after all, today
as then the measure of good Cit
izenship is concerned with the re-
spOnSibility of the individual to
ward his family and with the
reaction Of the individual to the
social life of those around him.
There has never been time
when man could live to himself
alone successfully, The success or
failure of the individ ual has al way
been concerned with the actions
Of those about him. The individual
WHO is not conscious of this rel
alton loses something for himself
and is somewhat of a loss to the
wealth which protect is
him and gives him opportunity.
The man who wishes to be a
good citizen will not be Indifferent
TO public affairs. He will realize
that next to establishing a family
and promoting his private bust
ness he owes a debt to that society
vhith protects his family and
makes his business possible.

DALLAS, February 2G.--Attempts

were aided here today by the District
Court of Appeals, which declared that
the right to marry was inalienable

The couple, Albert Hedrick and
Lucille Wilson. We're secretly wed in
Jail after lower court had enjoined
the marriage. The secret marriage
was then annulled by court order
and from this order, their attorneys
appealed.
The higher court believe that even
