As an example, he cites the growth of the bureau Of markets in the department Of agriculture. It started in 1913 With $50,00O and has grown from year to year until in 1931-32 it's appropriation was $5,731,336. Once established, 8 bureau is perpetual.

In an article in The Nations Business, Representative Louis Ludlow of Indiana admits that congress is p0Werless against bureaucracy without strong pressure from public opinion. That statement i5 proved by the comparatively small results of the mighty ef- fort of congress to economize.
 This is 8 matter of vital intec- est to every citizen, for not only is his money wasted but the bU~- Ieaus are gradually taking away his rights and liberties. During his thirty years in Washington MT. Ludlow has seen "a trend toward increasing centraliZatiOn of power in Washington, toward bureaucracy and paternalism." " This trend involves a ceaseles5 and overwhelming invasion of corporate and individual rights" He continues:
 An inevitable accompaniment of bureaucracy is a lust for in qUjsitorial powers, and the re. suit is already visible in the sWar1ns of agents, inspectors and other functionaries who l,rowl our land, worrying, bluff ing and exasperating individuals and corporations alike.

SPREADING JOY,
SINGERS AIM

A year ago John Charles
Thomas, popular Chicago Civic
Opera Company baritone, gave a
recital at Constitution Hall, that
was attended by a small but very
appreciative audience.
After a half dozen or more en-.
cores Mr.. Thomas thanked his
listeners and urged them to "re-
turn next season and bring Jour
friends"
The members of the audience
evidently followed his suggestion
for a large crowd turned out Sat
urday night to hear this splendid
singer.
Mr.. Thomas has made a resolu-
ton, he says, to sing only songs
that entertain. His aim is not
to educate but to spread joy. He
shuns heavy operatic selections
and devotes nearly his entire pro-
gram to delightful old English
folk songs rollicking French and
German melodies.
He sang such delightful num-
berS as VOLTS "Sailorman.' =

Ernest Charles Clouds" Pearl
