Bureaucratic Government Is
Most BurdenSOme In States
By James T. Williams, Jr.

U0lues is a bureaucracy. 1t has
destrOyed eUery civilization
upon uDhich it has fastened it's
IecherOus grip"
Senator Borah was addressing
his protest chiefly against the
recent growth of Federal bureau
cracy. And there is ample
ground for. his concern on this
score. The fact that nearly
100000 citizens have been added
to the Federal payroll within
the last IS months and that
scores of new bureaus, boards,
commissions and other Federal
agencies have been set up to
exercise the extraordinary grants
of power made by the last
Congress to the President are
the outward and visible signs
of bureaucracy'S grip on the
Federal Government.
But the most torturing, the
most burdensome, the most ex-
pensive, the most devastating
and the most destructive bureau
cracy under the flag today is
that (which has fastened its
1echerous grip" on county and
local governments in every State
in the Union.
The people are being taxed to
support thousands of local units
of governments for which there
is no longer the slightest public
necessity.
Obsolete System
Perhaps, Senator Borah in
his next broadcast will address
himself to this aspect of the
problem of bureaucracy. If he
does, he can count on the as
sistance of President Roosevelt
in bringing home to the people
the imperative need of modern
izing the obsolete system of
county and local government
from which President Roose-
velt's State of New York and
Senator Borah's State Of Idaho
and every other State in the
Union is suffering today.
If "the lecherous grip" Of
bureaucracy on the throat Of
government is to be removed,
not only must the Federal Gov
ernment be reorganized and
every independent agency, ex-
cept those possessed Of quasi-ju-
dicial power, brought within the
control Of one of the executive
departments, but the oxcart
system of county and local gov
ernment must be overthrown,
and the authority of the sew
eral States reclaimed and made
commensurate with their re-
spective responsibility.
To be effective, the warfare
against bureaucracy must be
waged within the several States
as we'll as within the Federal
city.

Senator Borah's suggestion
that the Seventy-third Congress
be called again into special ses-
sion to repeal recently enacted
laws to which he objects will not
be adopted by President Roose-
velt.
If the President has his way,
the late and unlamented Seven
ty-third Congress will never meet
again, and it cannot convene
again except upon the call Of
the President.
Short of a national emergency
bringing a challenge beyond the
power of the President to meet,
it is safe to predict that there
will be no additional session Of
Congress until the Congress to
be elected. next November con-
veneS in regular annual session
next January.
Political Pest
But some of the abuses
against which Senator Borah
protested so eloquently in his re-
cent address will, doubtless, re-
ceive the earnest attention Of
the President between now and
the meeting of the new Con-
gress. Especially is this true Of
those abuses chargeable to the
rapid growth of bureaucracy
since the present Administration
entered power.
The dictionary definition Of
bureaucracy is:
"GOUsrnment by bureaus;
specifically, excessive nultipli-
cation of, and concentration in'
administrative bureaus"
The principle of bureaucracy,
according to the dictionary def
milton, tends to official inter-
ference in many of the properly
private affairs of life, and to the
inefficient and obstructive per-
formance of duty through min
ute subdivision of functions, in
flexible formality, and pride OF
place"
Senator Borah's definition of
bureaucracy vividly portrayS the
exasperating evils Of this politi-
cal pest.
OF bureaucracy he said:
eft is simply that msddle-
some, irritating, confusing, un-
dern1inins, destructiUe thing
called bureaucracy. 1t is that
form of government which
steals Gway mans rights in the
name of public interests and
taxes him to death in the name
of recovery.

sessions of the crew and the
passengers on their own junks.
A japanese boat was taken a
few weeks ago by an educated
pirate who spoke French and
japanese, and who. after rob-
bing 1000 Chinese fugitives,
used the seized ship to prey on
other craft before making his
escape.
Five renegade Europeans, four
of them German and the other
an Austro-Swiss, tried their
hand at the game recently and
came to grief when they ran
the Japanese-owned steamship,
Sheng Am, aground. To take her
they had murdered two Rus
slams, the captain and the mate,
the mates Latvian wife and
seven Chinese. The arch-plotterS
were Capt. Hugo Taudien, SIS
years old, once German soldier
in China, and Heinrich Wester-
mann, As years old, who survived
the European. war, and then
went to Shanghai as a sausage
maker. These two, convicted of
murder, are under sentence of
death in Dairen, Manchukuo.
The three others are to serve
from 10 years to life imprison-
ment. AS an account Of their
trial stated, one would have to
go back to the deeds of Morgan
and Bluebeard to find a coun-
terpart for the fiendishness of
the seizure of the Sheng Am.
Wins Spurs
Joseph Mason Reeves earned
the nickname Bull" back in
1893, when he was a ripsnorting
tackle on the Navy football
eleven. He certainly bellies it to-
day, for there is nothing of the
physique or foreclosures of the
bull in his tall slender figure or
white-bearded face. He looks
like a professor and he has been
that, too. He is also something
of an orator, as we'll as being a
swell fellow" to the officers
and "a great guy to the ordi-
nary COB.
He won his spurs on the old
oregon when she made that a.
500-mile dash around South
America in 1898 to get in on the
battle of Santiago. He rates in
the highest bracket as a tao
tician and he has a warm spot
in his heart for aviation because
he, himself, is a flier who earned
his wings at the age Of SO.
And perhaps more than any
thing else, he is no subscriber to
the opinion that the command
er should stay away from the
front line in battle. His theory
in his own words is this:
IF the Old Man up there on
his armored bridge can't be
licked, every man knows it and
those men can't be licked either.
That's why a commander-in-
chief must be right up front
himself. ..-...

Admiral Peary 100 miles from

The Chinese pirates, 1ncreas-
ingly active of late, committed
their boldest stroke in the
seizure of the crack British
coastal ship, Shuntien, at the
mouth of the Yellow River and
the kidnapping of five British
subjects. This incident has
received worldwide attention,
and yet it is but a few months
since two other British subjects
were killed in a similar affair.
A master mind, with a fleet
of fast, armed vessels, is be-
heved behind the pirates. One
report, commonly accepted in
Shanghai, is that a woman,
Lai Choi San, is involved in
this racket of the Chinese
coast. She is supposed to have
as many as 10000 men working
for her, an elaborate spy 5ys-

William C. Lankford has re-
signed his job in the Internal
Revenue Bureau, where he has
been an attorney, to return to
Georgia and run for reelection
to the seat which he occupied
in the House for nearly 20 years
as representative of the Eighth
district.
Although Lankford resigned
from his job at Internal Rev.
enue, he did so, it is understood,
because the Treasury Depart
ment hinted that if he intended
to reenter politics and run for
Congress he should give up his
attorneyship.
So LankfOrd has gone back to
Georgia to appeal to the farm
ers Of his district to send him
back to the House where he made
so many speeches in their be-
half. When in Congress he had
his own farm relief bill, but
never was able to persuade his
colleagues that his panacea
should be adopted.
Not only farm questions will
face Landlord in the coming
Democratic primary. There is
another question that is certain
to arise.
The man who beat Lankford
before and whom he will oppose
in the primary is Representative
Braswell Deem.
In the closing days of the last
session, Deem, it will be remem-
bered, had a row with Repub-
ican Representative Ralph R.
Elise, of California, and the two
men almost came to blows. They
were pulled apart, as someone
usually steps in and breaks up

In Georgia, Lankford will
argue that Deem was guilty of
unseemly conduct and should
not be sent back to represent a
dignified Georgia district.
