rogatives, It at first was not inclined
to do 1t, but the dangers Of the de-
preston became so portentious and the
burdens upon the tax payers so unbear-
able that it was compelled to take the
action little less than year ago,
imposing the authority upon the then
President-elect.
Mr.. Hoover, about to retire to pri-
vate life, would have liked to have
effected the changes during his in
cumbency. He had made start by
to its approval, the consolidation OF So
commissions. boards and bureaus into
nine divisions. But the Congress
would not allow Mr.. Hoover to do
this-it delegated the task to his sue
cessor. However, he had something
more than a measure Of satisfaction
when the action was formally taken.
II am happy to see," he said, that
they are at least going to give the
President, whoever he may be, the au-
thority to straighten out the Govern
ment."
Necessarily Mr.. Roosevelt! after his
Inauguration, had to familiarize him.
self with conditions.
He realized the tremendous handicap
placed on business, one Of its greatest
difficulties being the multitude Of un-
necessary contacts 1t had to make with
Government bureaus, the uncertainty
and inconsistency of Government poll
cies and the duplication of activities.
He saw waste. the sum total of which
would finance some Of the emergency
activities he was contemplating.
Began Work Immediately.
He began exercising the authority
given to him within 80 days after he
took office, almost coming a cropper
by doing IT, because his executive or
ders coincided with the adjournment
Of the Congress and some members Of
this body thought he was slipping over
fast one.
Anyway, he put the determination of
all policies and methods of warehouse
ing. distribution of property facilities,
structures, machinery. equipment stores
and supplies exercised by any and all
agencies under a director of procure
ment. He brought into a single group
all Of the national parks, buildings
and reservations. He massed at the
Treasury the functions of disbursing
moneys. He abolished the Shipping
Board, transferring its functions to
the Department of Commerce.
These and other actions he has
taken. However, this is only a start;

problem Of each-Roosevelt. Taft, Will

There were many inevitable clashes.
Opposition was modified whenever the
President or commission recon-

succeeded in its purpose.
Cooperation Not Given.
The futility Of cooperative action,
with the President or a commission

modated in Bismarck in adjoining

gests an idea which might help Bis

Since this program began, 81 farms,
totaling 1883 acres and valued at
$l9l $50, have been returned to their
former owners.
This is encouraging to both farm
ers and non-agricultural landholders.
It indicates that real estate still is q

amazing because q patient con-
Sulting Z specialist would reason
ably expect to be advised and not
allowed to choose. In the end the
public will decide.
But the well thought out objections
expressed by the specialists who pres
emily succumbed were theoretical OBJ
jections and hearsay views. Here in
my playroom I have the data to show
the source or origin Of these theoreti-
cal objections which the brass special
lists raised against the modern method
when enlightened patients began to
ask questions about it. I said brass
specialists. From the context Of my
surgeon friends remarks It Is clear
he Is referring to that type of spe-
cialist. A brass specialist is one the
patient consults: q real specialist is
one the patients physician consults.
The brass ones win have no answer to
this: the real specialists need none.

The fact seems to be that large

frequently are lost the same way. OF
the 81 900 millionaires developed dur
ing the war, more than half had gone
broke or been sadly crimped by the
end of the 1921 depression.
Only a few large estates have per-
sisted into the third generation and
most Of these have been bound round
by legal provisions which have ope-
rated to keep them intact. Those
fortunes which have been made in
spectacular fashion, particularly by
speculation, have been snuffed out
about as rapidly as they were made.
The history Of our millionaires is

They Don't Have to Sell


Recent advices from the federal
cattle purchasing agents in st. Paul
are that farmers will not be forced
to sell their cattle to the government,
even though they may have offered
to do so early in the campaign.
Improved prospects due to good
rains have caused some farmers to
change their minds and many Of
them will have plenty of time to fur
Their estimate the situation, since
shipments are far behind the inspec-
tons by veterinarians for the bureau
Of animal industry and the bureaus
experts are far behind the local in
spectors.
Altogether, according to latest in
formation, local inspectors have
looked at 100000 North Dakota cat
tie and arranged for their sale to the
government. The bureaus experts
have examined some 10000 Of these
and are hurrying to catch up.
North Dakota's quota of 5000 cat
tie q day has never been filled but
now Is being approached for the first
time. The main difficulty to date
has been that Of getting releases
from creditors who have mortgages
on distressed cattle which the farmer
wishes to sell.
Meanwhile, the government en-
phasizes that it will not attempt to
force any farmer to go through with
a sale contract il he believes he would
do better to keep his herd. Where
herd has been offered for sale, how
ever, and delivery on only a part Of
it is offered, reinspection will be de-
manded in order that each side gets
square deal.
This is fair enough and should be
encouraging to the farmers for whom
the outlook was bleak indeed month
ago.

In Canada Tn


Up In Canada they take their local
politics quite as seriously as Is true
in the United states-and they have
the same number Of scandals.
One Of the most interesting of the
latter, as disclosed by an Associated
Press dispatch from Edmonton. has
to do with q suit brought against
j. z. Brownlee, Aberta's premier, by
one Vivian Mcmillan, 22-year-old
stenographer.
The charge IS one of seduction and
Canadian jury Is hearing all about
it.
The story told by the girl Is quite
the same as in all such affairs,
premiers, 1t seems, being no better
than other men in many respects.
The 5o-year-old politician, OF course,
denies the major charge, although he
does admit that he once kissed the
girl whom he brought from a little
country village at the age OF 10 to
take stenographic post in a gov
eminent office.
The case is of peculiar interest to
North Dakotans who recently CENTER
ed their interest on the trial of q
high public official, even though the
charges were different.
