EFFICIENCY
SURVEYS !
END

William Mex. Clayton, BIT
ter antagonist Of the Wilson
traction merger plan, has com
fided his objections to the COM
solidation plan to investigators
of the United States Bureau Of
Efficiency, who are studying
the project for the Senate
District Committee, it was
learned today.
Clayton spent several hours with
Paul Rapp, director Of the bureaus
investigation. pointing out the dan.
gers he believes lie in. the merger
agreement He cited several clauses
in the agreement which he considers
.jokers.ss
Expert on Loop-hOles
As a result Of the conference It ID
assured that the bureau insesti.
gators will not make their report
to the Senate committee without
being fully aware Of all the hidden
traps IN the plan. Clayton, who
has been interested in local utility
problems for many years, is past
master in detecting such loOp-hcles.
Clayton gave Rapp his opinion OF
the $50 900, 900 valuation demanded
by the companies in the agreement
and the provision that the valuation
shall remain in effect for period
Of 10 years.
He also pointed out many less
obvious defects which he considers
Of paramount Importance to the
riding public OF Washington. such
as the power contract proposed be-
tween the consolidated company ana
the Potomac Electric Power Com
pany and the proposed stock issue
which he contends would water the
stock Of the merged company to the
extent Of several million dollars.
Another objection to the plan
which Clayton pointed out was the
danger that it will give the North
American Company Of New York,
not only control Of the local power
and transit facilities. but control OF
anv power project at Great Falls.
Rapp and his associates are now
preparing the original draft of their
report to the Senate Committee.
They have completed field work and
have interviewed every party con-
cerned in the merger proposal OK
,cept Harley p. Wilson, originator
Of the plan. who has spent the sum.
mer in Europe.
They hope to see him before the
report is finally drafted and sub.
mitted to the committee.

THIRD PARTY UNLIKELY.

Since the adjournment, or the Republican National Convention last week at Kansas City little has been heard to indicate that a third party will be organized because of the nomna- tion of Secretary Hoover and the defeat of the efforts of the farm relief group to insert in the platform plank endorsing the equalization fee plan embraced in the McNaryHaugen bill twice vetoed by President Coolidge. Prior to the con- vention there were many threats made that revolt and third party movement would follow such actions by the party chieftains. Possibly the farmers waiting to what the Demo- crats will do but it is likey that the revolt idea had natural death
 Politicians of all brands of faith are skeptical to the formation of third party. There may be switching in the fall elections but this is not apt to be heavy rumors of discomfort might indicate Prices agr cultural products are gradually increasing and given fair yields with even slight bettermen in prices, the odds that the farmers will bt found aligned with the parties with whom they have been affiliated in the past.

But grave fears are entertained Tor Amundsen and his companions and the remaind- CT of the Italia expedition.

Centralized Government.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)


 Senator King. of Utah, depores the tendency toward centralized government. He asserts also that the Seventeth Congress the most extravagant in the history of the republic He predicts that if the movement in favor of cen tralizng the Government in Washington con tnues, in 25 years there will be States.
 There is strong reason to support Senator King his indictment and for belief in his prophecy
 The Senator planes Democrats and Repubi- cans alike for the present situation and for the fostering of the centralization movement. He be- leyes the integrity of the States is sorely threat ened He his party-the Democratic Party-of having departed from the fundamentals of democracy, declaring that today there is no party to defend the personal liberty and the rights of States in local self-govenment
 The tendency toward centralzation of power at Washington received tremendous impetus when the partisans of prohibition succeeded in i'm bedding it in the Constitution, enacting the notor ious and untra-anti- democratic Volstead enforce ment law Since then matters have been grow ing and worse with respects to State rights and liberty of the individual. The demand that Department of Education shall be created, with representative of education in the Presidents Cabinet now insstently is urged. The maternity bill still inspires numerous following. The national child labor amendment survives the pub lie condemnation it heretofore has received. There many other propositions to the fore which mock at the guaranteed rights of the common wealhs of the Union. All of this visionary and group legislation actual proposed, is the logi- cal result of minority achievement in behalf of proh btion.
 The effort of the regenerators of government | appears to be first to weaken party lnes-to emascuate partisan spirit and loyalty This vir- tue has penetrated into every political division of the nation. To be a Democratic or a Re- publican longer what it once meant Nonpartisanism now is employed cloak for the furtherance of all political interests from hamlet to village from village to city, from city to State, from State to Nation.
 If, as Senator King accuses the Democratic Party has departed from the fundamentals of democracy it as justly may be said that the Republican Party has departed from the policies and principles which brought it into being and elevated it to power and usefulness Without two major parties, functoning as such, deserving and demanding partisan devotion and loyal support there be no hope for the republic, as Senator King deplores. The exten- sion of nonpartisanism to the grievous hurt of the two-party system of government can mean only the ultimate, absolute wreck of republi- canism.
