Of the Department Of Justice to which
ought to draw your attention. It
cannot be called q self supporting
branch Of the Government, neverthe-
less, the activities of the department
result In the covering into the Treas
ury Of large amount Of money
through the settlement Of judgments,
the imposition Of fines, the collection
OF additional revenues, and various
forms of taxes.
Moreover. this department saves
the Government substantial sums
OF money IN defending, with success,
suits brought against 1t. For instance,
during the fiscal year now drawing to
. close cases were brought against the
United States involving more than
$470, 100000. In these cases judgments
were rendered against the Government
for only $500, 900, or q matter Of q
little more than per cent Of the
amount claimed.
Heretofore, have remarked upon the
question Of the elimination of unneces-
Sary employees. One Of the most vexa-
tious problems I have to deal with
grows out of the enthusiastic manner
in which many people indorse them
selves for attachment to the public
service. It must not be forgotten that

department is specialized to a very con-
siderable degree requiring intimate
knowledge Of the branches Of the law
peculiar to governmental adn1nistra-
ton. 1t is manifest. therefore. that
there can be no indiscriminate removal
from the service Of those who are yeffi-
GENTLY and faithfully discharging their
duties. Such changes as are to be
made will be designed for the better
ment of the service and for that pur-
pose alone.
One of the most important functions
the Attorney General is called upon to
perform has to do with the recon-
mendation to the President Of candi-
dates for appointment as Federal
judges, district attorneys and United
States marshas These officials are con-
cerned in a most intimate fashion, with
the rights, the liberty and the welfare Of
our people in all parts Of the country.
In particular the members Of the Judi
ciary (whose appointments run during
good behavior and therefore In most
instances for life) must be selected with

of litigation too multifarious to men
ton.
Moreover the Attorney General acts
as adviser to the President and to the
heads of the various executive depart
mentS in matters involving questions
of law and is frequently called upon
for both written and oral opinions. In
addition to this the services of the
department are invoked in connection
with the drafting of new legislation
especially with reference to matters in
volving novel and difficult problems. In
word, the Attorney General, together
with the available machinery of the
Department of Justice. is at the dis
poSal of the Government of the United
States in performing the functions OF
attorney and counsellor at law. The
client is the United States of America
and this client is advised from time to
time and, when necessary, represented
in the courts Of the land.
IL Important Divisions.
For purposes Of convenience, the
work of the Department OF Justice is
allocated to sundry subdivisions. There
are many Of these and II Of them are
Of outstanding significance. One OF
these great subdivisions is under the
direction Of an official known as the
solicitor general 1t is post OF very great
importance and one which has con-
sistently been held by lawyers Of the
first rank There is a department pre-
sided over by an official known as the
Assistant to the Attorney General. who
has charge of antitrust matters. There
are seven Assistant Attorneys General
amongst whom there are allocated mat
tiers dealing with the United States Gus
tom laws, suits in the Court of Claims
matters dealing with admiralty ques-
tions, finance. taxation, prohibition
commerce, public lands. administrative
functions, civil litigation and criminal
prosecutions. In addition to all of the
foregoing there are three remaining de-
partments OF very great consequence
One of these deals with the matters af-
fecting the enforcement of prohibition
and the official in charge Is known as
the director of prohibition. Another
large department is known as the
Bureau of Investigation and IS In charge
Of the director Of the Bureau of In
vestigation. Last, but far from being
least, Is the official known as the di-
rector of the Bureau Of Prisons. TIC

achievement The Congress has appro-
priated $41 .550,000 for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1884. There would be
no difficulty, I am sure, in living within
the amount allowed, but under the
drastic plans Of economy inaugu-
rated by the administration and
steadfastly carried forward by the very
efncient director of the budget, Mr..
Douglas, the Department Of Justice has
been requested to reduce this amount
by about and eight and one-han mil
lion dollars. This goal 1t will be our
purpose to reach. 1t will require care
full management. strict economy, lin
tied expenditures, reduced personnel,
and savings In many directions. We
have set our hands to this plow and
we shall not turn back.
Dry Law Difficult Question.
One Of the most difficult questions
we shall have to deal with is the mat
ter of the enforcement of the prohi-
bition law. The Congress has reduced
the appropriation for this branch Of
our activities from about ten and one
quarter million dollars to about eight
and one-half million dollars. This revised
appropriation must further be reduced
In order to bring about the additional
savings which the economy program
requires. The enactment of the 80
beer legislation. 1t Is to be hoped, will
reduce the number of minor offenders
resulting not only In q direct saving,
but In the indirect saving which is re-
flected in the costs of our courts and
In the expense of maintaining prison.
ever, that the eighteenth amendment
g
it remains the law of the land 1t will
be the duty of the Department Of JUS
tice to use its utmost efforts to see
that 1t is respected and enforced. Minor
offenders may well be left to the judg-
ment and discretion of local courts SO
that the work of the Bureau Of Pro-
hibition may be concentrated upon the
| activities of commercial Wolators
racketeers. and groups of offenders who
make it their business, by conspiracy
and violence, to defraud the Govern
ment, terroriZe legitimate business, and
bring the law into disrespect.
1t is highly important that the
legitimate, legalized beer industry
should be kept free from the control OF
/ racketeers. It Is to be anticipated
and. indeed, it has already become ap-
parent. that the bootlegging interests
will seek to levy a ton on the manu-
| facture and distribution of legal beer
as they have done for years with re-
gard to illegal liquor and even more
,, innocent enterprises. No matter how
honest the beer industry itself may be
there remains the danger that 1t will
be preyed upon by outside influences
This, in itself. constitutes a very sub
| stantial problem Those who are en-
deavoring honestly to live within the
law will find a friend In the Depart
ment Of Justice; others will proceed
at their peril.
! There is another aspect OF the work
Evening star., 1933-04-25

and almost ineradicable mark upon the
very structure Of our Government. I
am not saying these things to magnify
the tasks of the Department of Justice,
but merely to state, in direct and SIM
pie language, what purpose it is we
are supposed to serve and how we are
endeavoring to meet the dutis imposed
upon us.
In brief, I aim at sane. wholesome
administration. The Department OF
Justice belongs to the people of Amer.
lea. It is their servant. ministering tc
their needs, and I bespeak for it the
support and the good opinion of al
law-abiding citizens.

cerned, there will be no undue haste
person under consideration will be
studtously investigated as to his char
acter, capacity, knowledge Of the law,
and all other attributes which should
be possessed by an upright, honest, and
impartial Judge. This particular re-
sponsibility lies heavily upon me. From
personal experience I know, and In
every fiber Of my being feel, that the
discharge Of this duty is solemn re-

Detection Not Sole Duty.

There seems to be an impression In
many quarters that the chief duty of
the Department of Justice is to detect
and punish violators Of the Federal
criminal laws. This, of course, is one
of its essential functions but there are
others Of great Importance. For In
stance, the department defends all civil
claims against the Government. This
involves the consideration of an end
less number of cases dealing with suits
based on contracts, claims made for the
refund of taxes asserted to have been
overpaid. and various other matters Of
a similar nature. In addition to this
the department represents the United
States in innumerable civil suits to re-
cover moneys claimed to be due to the
Government; it proceeds in matters of
land condemnations, and in other types

Take Government for Granted.
In times of great prosperity, when
things appear to run themselves, our
people are inclined to take our Govern
ment for granted. When trouble de-
velopS We appreciate more acutely the
extent to which our welfare is depend
ent upon the proper functioning and
economical administration Of the various
departments of our Government. Such
periods result in sharp awakening of
public interest. We are passing through
such a period at the present time.
Clearly there should be thorough over
hauling of every department OF our
Government. This is a process which
cannot be accomplished by a wave of
the hand. 1t is going to require per-
sistent, intelligent and unrelenting ef-
fort over a very considerable period Of
time
When this administration came into
power on the 4th of March. public af-
fairs were in deplorable and, let me
add, well-nigh desperate condition. The
incoming administration and all the de-
partments thereof were, therefore, un-
der necessity of dealing not only with
an immediate crisis calling for the ut
most swiftness and precision in action,
both administrative and legislative, but
they were required also to meet the i'm
perative problem of departmental econo-
my SO that the national budget might be
balanced. In other words, each and
every department had to undertake a
cleansing process and had to bring itself
into efficient coordination with the Ma
tional Government as whole More
over, each department was required to
extend its activities and, at the same
time, cut its expenditures by sub
stantially Is per cent. Difficult as this
program may seem, and as impossible
as it appeared to many people before
1t was undertaken, 1t has now advanced
to stage which enables us to say that
the results aimed at will be achieved.
1t Is a source of qualification to realize
that the people of this country. without
respect to part1sanship. are thoroughly
in accord with this program of regenera-
ton

charges that he was an "agitator." ."
Weaver was ousted from the
camp during a threatened hunger
strike after he had been under
observation for several days, &C.

camp commander. Weaver said
today:
81 am not an agitatOr as
Captain Donovan said. l simply
complained because I wanted
something to eat. I had been
working with a pick and shovel
from 8 a. m. until noon. They
gave us chow and l W a nte ed
more.
when they wouldn't give it
to us, I complained some more.
Then they gave four of us 30
minutes to leave camp. We left
and hitch-hiked to Washington.

Durdle Gives Advice
On Renovation Or
Planting of Lawns
(By County Agent E. G. Durdle)

(By County Agent E. G. Durdle)
For home owners who plan to reno
vate their lawns this year instead OF
making new lawn, the United States
Department of Agriculture says the
four main considerations are fertiliz-
ing, top dressing, moving and water
ing. If a lawn is reasonably clear Of
weeds and has at least half a stand
of fairly evenly distributed grass, re-
novation is worthwhile.
For fertilizer, the Department rec
ommends sheep or poultry manure,
commercial fertilizer known as COM
plete" fertilizer that is high in nitro
gen such as 6-8-4, or plain nitrate Of
soda or sulphate or sulphate Of am
monia. Complete fertilizer is recon-
mended particularly if phosphate and
potash have not been applied in the
past year. In this section of the state,
the complete type of fertilizer is less
apt to give outstanding results over a
sraight nitrogen fertilizer than in most
sections. Lawns require much nitrogen
during the growing season and can be
rushed then, but it is not advisable to
do much fertilizing in the hot summer
months Fertilizer is best applied by
mixing it with pulverized soil and scat
tering it broadcast over the lawn. 1t
is important to spread it evenly ovef
| the lawn, or the grass will be dark
green in spots and light green in
| other places.
Top dressing lawn consists of fill
ing all the small depressions and I'M
even places with good soil or a mix
ture of soil and manure.
| Don't NOW lawns too closely, the
Department says. This is especially i'm
portant if there is crabgrass in the
lawn because the crabgrass can thrive
when clipped short but the lawn grass
cannot do so we'll. Setting the mower
so that it cuts the grass about IL
inches high is satisfactory. Frequent
moving does not hurt lawn if the
grass is not cut too short.
The Department grass specialists say
I there is a difference between water
| ing lawn and sprinkling it. They sug-
gest soaking the lawn once week
rather than sprinkling every day, so
that the roots of the grass will go
deeper and so be better able to with
stand hot weather.
For those seeding new lawns a mix
ture of Kentucky Blue grass and Red
Top with White clover probably will
make as good mixture as any
