It begins to look as if the admin
istration's duel with the public util-
tiles over the holding companies bill
is destined to become one Of the
hottest congressional contests in re-
cent history. All signs indicate that
it will wax fast and furious before
the fate of the Rayburn- Wheeler
measure is decided, with the utilities
fighting every inch of the ground.
President Roosevelt's message pro-
testing against the private socialism
of concentrated private power" is the
most militant communication he has
yet sent to Congress. Never has he
expressed himself with more COM
bative firmness than in his assertion
that certain types of utility holding
companies must 60" and in his
thrust at the 'tyrannical power and
exclusive opportunity of a favored
few" Mr.. Roosevelt's sledge-hammer
blows at the propaganda in progress
to thwart his program remind Con-
gress of Woodrow Wilson's frontal
attack in 1918 on the lobby that OPP
posed the Federal Reserve bill. The
Presidents emphasis on propaganda
IS obviously intended to strengthen
the backbone Of Senators and Repre-
sentatives, who find themselves sub
jected to one of the most intensive
bombardments of letters and tele-
grams on record in connection with
the holding companies bill.
Philip H. Gadsden, who, as chair
man of the Committee of Public Utility
Executives, is leading the battle for the
interests he represents, is South
Carolinian by birth. A lawyer by pro-
fession, he has been public utility
executive for the past 35 years, be-
ginning that career as vice president
of the Charleston Consolidated Rail-
way & Lighting Co. For five years
93-1898) he was member OF the
South Carolina House of Represent
atives. Since 1919 Mr.. Gadsden has
been vice president of the United Gas
Improvement Co. of Philadelphia and
a power in utilities throughout the
country. During the World War he
served as chairman of the National
Committee on Public Utility Condi-
tions. He is a Democrat and 81 years
old.
Referring to congressional mail on
the holding companies bill and men
tioning that he had $4,000 letters on
the subject last week, Senator Clark,
Democrat, of Missouri told the Senate
that he understands that leach utility
in his State has notified each OF its
employees that if he cannot get 40 let
tiers sent to the Senators and Repre-
sentatives from Missouri he will be
discharged"
When President Roosevelt returned
from his Florida fishing trip last year
he told welcoming congressional del
egation that since members last saw
him he had become "a tough guy"
An impression prevails that F. D. r..
plans to turn up in Washington next
month similarly seasoned after an
other siege with the tarpon and bar
racuda and in ringside mood and form
to deal with an obstreperous Capitol
Hill. On the face of things Mr..
Roosevelt will need all the combative-
ness he can muster If he desires to
secure enactment of his major meas
ures at the present session. He hopes
to be able to start South with at least
the work-relief bill satisfactorily dis
posed Of, and that this will pave the
way to successive approval Of other

The Spending Program.

Lewis w. Douglas, former director
of the budget, has issued another
warning against huge Government ex-
penditures which go far beyond the
revenues. In fact. Mr.. Douglas. who
at the outset of the Roosevelt admin
istration was a trusted adviser Of the
President in fiscal affairs, painted
gloomy picture of what the American
people may be compelled to suffer II
a halt is not called Breakdown OF
the Governments credit, he predicted,
will result in dictatorship; whether
communistic or fascist, Mr.. Douglas
said, would make little difference so
far as the liberties of the people are
concerned.
Mr.. Douglas criticism of the admin
istration policies took two directions
money spending and curtailment OF
production. To Mr.. Douglas mind it
is not possible for the country to spend
itself out of debt nor to make itself
rich through production. More
and more Americans, some of them In
the national law-making body. are
coming around to this opinion. The
New Dealers have tried both these
courses, and the country has been
willing to 60 along with the expert
ments up to the present. There are
signs. however. that the country is
about to balk.
The danger, as Mr.. Douglas pointed
out, which lies in ever-increasing
Government expenditures and mount
ing deficits is of the eventual crea-
ton of money by the Government to
pay its debts. This means fiat money,
printing press money, with nothing
back of it save the demand of the
Government that it be accepted as
money. In the opinion of Mr..
Douglas, If such course is finally
adopted the great middle class Of
the country will be wiped out and the
stage set for revolution, for the upset
of the political system of the Nation.
Since the early days of the present
administration Mr.. Douglas has been
a voice crying in a wilderness OF
spending. 1t was inevitable that Mr..
Douglas should retire as budget di-
rector. The reckless disregard of the
relation between disbursements and
revenue proved too much for him. and
perhaps his criticism of the admin
istration's course proved too irksome
to the President.
The demand of the President for a
s4,880, ,000,000 relief and work relief
appropriation at the opening of the
present Congress has done more to
shock the country into realization
of what the future may hold for it
than all the criticisms voiced by op-
DOTl6IlLS -
is the feeling that when the next
year rolls around another huge sum,
perhaps equaling the present requi-
sition, may be demanded.
Mr.. Douglas, discussing the theory
Of becoming wealthy by producing
less" said that if such theory were
carried to its final degree I'VE can
become fabulously wealthy by pro-
ducing nothing" His proposal, as an
alternative, is to produce more and
to distribute the production at mod
crate prices. More production means
more jobs and more wealth.
The Senate has still before it the
huge work relief bill. 1t is not too
late, If it desires, to give heed to the
increasing danger of huge appropria-
tions of public funds that do not exist
but which must be borrowed some
where and which must be repaid
somehow at some time.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Sure Finish.
Since old Sherlock Holmes was by
hope so bereft
That his needlework soothed his de-
spair,
Detectives have turned from the trail
that he left
And followed romances with care.
Though his manners seem SLOW when
he's running the show,
And he looks like bit of a churl,
You cherish him fondly. indeed. for
We know
The Detective will marry the girl.
So ladies beware. OF your step have
care.
A bandit may blacken your eye
And contrive, even though you escape
from his lair,
To leave social prospects awry.
You are taking a chance on the rules
of romance
Which novels so freely unfurl.
At Dukes, Earls or Barons in vain you
will glance
The Detective will marry the girl.

A Rhyme at Twilight
BY
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton.
Days End

Dusk everywhere within my house
Save where firelight plays upon your
hair
And on the amber coffee that SIP
In an old easy chair.
Dusk in the avenue outside
Save where sunset casts a saffron glow
Over a scene whose every spire and tree
love and know.
Lean to me in this transitory dusk,
While every sarduous hour slips out Of
sight,
Routing the shadows in my heart as day
Drifts into ni~ht.

To greet a proud parader.

It's no good for confetti.
