Later after he had been in the firing line at the front he participated in a contest with several hundred picked marksmen of the A. E. F.

 No one here at this time seems to be privy to Roosevelts plans, but certain previously known facts encourage the deduction from the radioed orders that a cut-to-the bone drive is in prospect.
 The recent shift of Republican attack to expenditures and the top heavy administrative machine will be answered by the economy effort, although it cannot be considered to have caused 1t.
 The big fact is that Roosevelt Is compelled to ask the next session of Congress for much less than the eight-billion dollar budget which he demanded last January. Not long ago he was hoping to enter the campaign year with the prom ise of an actually balanced budget Perhaps he still does.
 Thanks to the relief problem,
 the only way it seems possible
 to achieve even 8 technically
 balanced budget would be to
 save and store up money here
 and there in the present fiscal
 year.
 Budget estimates for the 1936-37 fiscal year could be made on very low basis with the realization that the Congress convening in Janu- ary, 1897, could vote further emer- gency appropriations if necessary.
 There's reason to suspect that F. D. may have some such ideas in the back of his head, though the degree of success in taking the gov efnment out of relief, the career of the WPA program, and business conditions are all pertinent factors.
 
 MIRA to Feel AK
 Increase in the federal payroll seems scandalous to many, even here in Washington. There were 5S6,o83 federal civil employees in nHarrb 1Qq2 and AuOiYgf 1Q2S showed 770,128. There's plenty of deadwood in that, but the ironic fact is that most of it is political lumber which will be left intact.
 NRA, whose 2760 employees and 37,0o0,000 payroll have stirred up caustic Republican attack, will be first to feel the big ax. AS a re- suit of White House orders, at least $50 NRA employees will be dis missed by Nov. 15 and others prob ably will follow rapidly. Ickes' relatively efficient PWA organiza- tion likely will be cut to pieces Housing and other PWA pro- grams have been deciminated
 Tugwell has already begun demobilizing large part of his Re- settlement outfit. With army engineers virtually in charge of WPPA projects, marked economies may also be expected in the Hop- kinS organization. And that, you may be fairly sure, is far from the half of 1t. l(,nnvri0bt 1O2S NRA Sa.,,;ca UuoA

Let Cabinet Speak Up

Representative Byron B. Harlan Of
Ohio has introduced . bill which
would require cabinet members to
appear regularly on the floor OF
house and senate to answer questions
about pending legislation.
Such arrangement would draw us
q step closer to the English parlia-
mentary system, under which cabinet
members are closely involved In the
legislative process.
It Is not clear, Of course, that we
should go all the way in copying the
good points Of this system. but to
subject federal department heads to
congressional quizzing at regular in.
tervals might be an exceedingly
wholesome reform.
Under Representative Harlans plan,
q cabinet member would appear on
the senate floor each Tuesday and
on the house floor each Thursday.
He would be entitled to participate
In the debates, and he would be re-
quired to answer such questions as
members might put to him.
As q means OF keeping the legisla-
tive branch In closer touch with the
plans and actions Of the executive,
there Is much to recommend this pro-
posal,

Brakes on HOrn-TOOter

Several months ago English au-
thorities made the experiment Of out
lawing the use Of automobile horns
in the night time. The stunt has
worked so well that they are now
considering the advisability Of pro-
hibiting the use Of such horns Alto
gether, "a hours day.
The original idea was to permit
tired citizens to get some sleep, un-
disturbed by the racket OF ill-advised
horn-tooters. Now the authorities
believe that the disuse Of horns pro-
notes moro careful driving, on the
theory that the man who knows he
can't toot at all will use his brakes a
whole lot sooner than he would other
wise.
The idea has possibilities, and it is
well worth q trial. It wouldn't be a
bad stunt to get reckless motorists
to rely on their brakes rather than
on their horns, to keep from hitting
people.
And what such law would do to
the half-wit who leans on his horn
button as soon as q driver two blocks
ahead stalls his engine-well, it's Just
too lovely for words.

A Political Mystery
(NeW York TimeS)

The Senate has become the radical
body, the chief troublemaker, at
Washington. This IS the verdict of
most Of the correspondents at the
Federal capital aud Of close observers
Of the changes taking place in Con-
gres& It contradicts the original
theory Of the trainers OF the Consti-
tuition and also what was long the
practice Of the Senate. It was to be
the Second Chamber, the more delib-
crate branch Of Congress. Its men,
berS were secure in their seats for six
years, and thus not SO exposed to sud-
den winds Of political agitation as
were the Representatives, who had to
go out every two years and fight to
keep their places. But today it is the
Senate that takes more kindly to rash
and hasty legislation. In 1t party
ranks are more easily broken, separ-
ate groups strive to set up little cir
cles Of control, individual Senators
cater more readily to demands upon
the Treasury which appears to have
large voting strength behind them.
It Is . process which Senator Gore
recently described as buying votes
with the money Of the people.
What accounts for the mysterious
political change by which the sober
ana dignified and steady branch of
Congress Is becoming the more flighty
and irresponsible? Many answers are
offered to this question. Some main
tain that the constitutional amend
Vsenva$ V,v@dAN N,1aaaIa 0A~o %ore ora oyoo<
ed directly by the people is respon-
sible for making Senators appear and
oct like perpetual candidates for re-
election. Others explain that the de-
velopment Of the art Of government
BY the groups system has caused the
mischief. Another theory Is that the
power Of local and regional interests
and organizations has broken down
the method Of general policies by
which the Senate used to be held to-
gether. and party rule In 1t kept in
tact. whereas now the floor Of the
august assembly Is the scene Of In
dividual skirmisheS and group or
guerrilla fighting, instead Of q grand
set-to by the rallied forces Of the two
great parties.
Whatever the cause Of the change
and confusion. the result Is unhappy
Instead Of checking radical move
ments, the Senate creates and fosters
them. The sober second thought
which It was TO apply to the imma-
tllre projects sent up to it BY the House

LOSES STRONG SUPPORT
