NATIONAL AFFAIRS
By FRANK P. LITSCHERT

News comes from Nebraska that
the Supreme Court of that state has
invalidated the commemorative old
age pension and relief program. In
the decision rendered by the Court,
which is certainly of more than pass
ing inteest to people outside Of Ne
braska, too, the decision of the United
States Supreme Court on the NRA
was cited as authority for a portion
of the foundation on which the decis-
ion of the State Supreme Court rests.
In short, the State Supreme Court
held the pension and relief act invalid
because the legislature delegated GER
tain of its powers to executive officers
of the state and to Congress. 1t will
be remembered that the delegation of
some of its power to the executive
authority by Congress had already
been declared illegal by the Federal
Supreme Court.
The Nebraska law, it is said, was
enacted so that the state might CO.
operate with the Federal government
in pensions and relief. 1t is said to
have provided that the sum of $4,000
900 of the states money was to be
spent during two years and it dele
gated to a state committee designed
to aid the national officers, broad, dis
cretionary powers in the execution of
the act.
To some people who have not
studied the matter carefully it might
occur that too much stress is being
paid to this question of Congress and
its action of delegating its power to
the executive authority of the gov
eminent.
But it is not to be forgotten that
the question is one which strikes at
the very foundation of American gov
eminent. Our Constitution provided
for a government of three depart
ments, each with it's particular duties
to perform. 1t was believed that the
system of checks and balances would
obviate the danger of autocracy on
the one hand and unbridled democracy
on the other.
If Congress, the legislative branch
of the government, may delegate its
powers to the executive department,
then it can in effect abdicate, thereby
surrendering its authority to an ambi-
tious dictator, should one arise who
covets the power and is able to coerce
or befuddle Congress into such action.
In short, legislative power in the gov
eminent would pass from Congress,
where it rightfully belongs, into the
hands of the Chief Executive and
finally to such bureaucracies as may
be created to apply it. 1t would then
be very easy for a bureaucracy with
its departments and divisions to issue

son on hunters this year. So call your
shots.
After three years of Rooseveltism,
that gentleman has done just the OPP
posite of what he promised to do. AS
another columnist writes, it calls to
mind the fable entitled "The Man in
the Woods"
A man entered the woods with an
axe. He begged all the trees to give
him a small branch which he wanted
for a particular purpose. The trees
were good natured and consented.
What did the man do but fix them
into the axe head and soon set to
work cutting down tree after tree.
Then the trees saw how foolish they
had been in giving their enemy the
means of destroying themselves.
Isn't that Roosevelt?
There are still a few people who do
not believe this sort Of thing is going
on, or else they are receiving some
thing out of it, for instance those
boondogglers. But those that stick for
party loyalty bring to mind another
story of how nit-wit thief broke into
a home and stole a ma.'s best suit
and strutted down town in it.
The little son of the man whose suit
had been stolen saw the thief wearing
it and ran away from home to follow
the rascal. All the persuasion brought
to bear couldn't induce the boy to
come back home. "He's my father be-
cause he is wearing mJr daddy's suit"
the boy insisted.
All of which sounds crazy, and prob
ably is, but is the boy more cracked
than these Democrats who follow their
party leader regardless? Roosevelt is
wearing the political paraphernalia
and pants of another party. He's riding
on a Democratic wagon pulled by the
Socialistic horses.
If it's a change we wanted, we're
certainly getting it. We go to the store
for bacon. We used to pay 20 cents a
pound but now we pay A; sausage
which was Is cents is now 80, and of
poorer quality; ham used to sell at
rs, now it's As; flour has increased
from 40 to 80 for 25-pound bag, and
lard from 10 to % cents a pound. It's
the same way for clothing that con-
tains cotton. We have changed from
few thousand families on relief to
20 million; we have changed from a
20-billion national debt to a 30-bil-
lion national debt. And the end is not
yet. For the deficit builders, 1 mean.

In the end, thought rules the world.
There are times when impulses and

soon expend themselves; while mind,
acting constantly. is ever ready to
drive them back and work when their

orders which had the same force as
legislation, without Congress or the
public knowing what had been done
until the ruling was in effect. And it
would be comparatively easy for an
ambitious dictator to do his own legis-
lating under such circumstances, once
the rule had been established that
Congress could abdicate legally and
confer its power on the executive

1t makes no difference what one
thinks of the New Deal and the men
who are running it, no difference
whether one may be for or against the
administration now in authority. 1t
becomes apparent, with a little
though, that any right on the part Of
Congress to surrender its powers to
the executive or any other depart
ment, creates a dangerous precedent,
and one which might be fatal to
American democracy were a ruthless
dictator to come into power as some
political party's presidential candi-
date. What is true of Congress is
true in degree so far as popular gov
eminent is concerned, with the rights
and duties of state legislature.

Trend Of individuals to home mort
gage investment has been stronger
since banks have reduced their inter-
est rates on savings accounts. This Is
one phase of the considerable shift
of recent years in the distribution OF
real estate mortgage holdings as be-
tween various types of lenders reported
to the National Association of Real
Estate Boards in its recent inquiry on
percentage of home mortgages now
in the hands of individuals.
AS published in the associations
news service opinions given by its
correspondents, chosen because Of
their thorough familiarity with their
local situations, indicated that indi-
viduals are the source OF capital for
approximately one-third Of the home
mortgages Of the country. Estimates
came from SO cities representing a
combined population of more than
13.500,000 persons.
Because Of the fact that exact totals
as to mortgage holdings Of individuals
are dificult to obtain. the association
asked only for careful estimates Of
percentage of such holdings to the
city's total of home mortgages. 1t
is recognized that figures for individual
holdings are often masked, and may
appear in ordinary statistical esti-
mates as institutional holdings. For
example, mortgages placed with trust
companies and banks may be and fire.
quently are taken by them for indi-
vidual holders.
