Reorganizing the Government.

The dictatorship" plan Of the
President-ele Roosevelt with auto
cratic power to abolish Government de-
partments as well as bureaus and to
abrogate "contractual" obligations Of
the Nation has shocked the public into
a realization Of what has been going on
at the Capitol in recent days.
While the House leaders plan goes
beyond the limits set by the Byrnes
amendment to the Treasury and Post
Office appropriation bill as it passed the
Senate, it is Of the same kin. Without
even a record vote the amendment Of
fered by Senator Byrnes Of South
Carolina. giving the President-the
President elect in this case-wide au-
thority to reorganize the Federal Gov
ernment practically without q veto
power retained in the hands Of the
Congress, was adopted by the Senate
late one evening, when many Of the
Senators were absent.
Indeed, the real implications Of the
Senate amendment did not begin to
sink In until the House leaders put for
ward their even more drastic proposal
for power to reorganize the Govern
ment, to cut, to fire and to reduce "con-
tractual" obligations. What the Senate
had done was In effect to abdicate its
legislative functions and propose that
the House agree 30 that the Chief Ex-
ecutive should have the power to leg
islate in their place. Such q proposal
in time Of peace, or In time Of war, for
that matter, has never before been pro-
posed seriously 20 far as the purse
strings of the Treasury are concerned
The control over expenditures by the
Government has been jealousy guarded
by the Congress, and especially by the
House. It Is now argued that the Presi-
dent alone can bring about reductions
in Government expenditures such as are
required by the exigencies of the time
The Senators who make such arguments
are indicting themselves and the Con-
gress. They are saying. I'VE are i'm
potent, we cannot perform the duties
for which We were elected"
The House proposal, and that Of the
Senate, too, in slightly less degree,
granting authority to the President to
legislate for the Government depart
ments, lays down a new theory in the
government of the United States. The
Congress has been no more effective,
really, In passing legislation needed by
the country than 1t has been effective
in reducing governmental expenditures
The next and logical move, If the Con-
gress is to surrender to the President
this legislative power over the purse
strings, is, for example, to give the
Chief Executive the power to levy taxes
to balance the budget What the Con-
gress should do, in all the circumstances
is to recover its courage and tackle the
work Of reorganizing the Governments
fiscal affairs itself

Arithmetic.
Arithmetic! Arithmeticl
Sometimes you're careless and too quick.
A slight miscalculation will
Defeat our philosophic skill
And leave our souls with sorrow fraught
When all our figuring comes to naught.
Projects enormous idly stand
And vain ambitions fill the land.
The purposes so bold and high
Oft We abandon with a sigh.
Arithmetic, your aid we've sought.
Why Is your answer mostly naught?
