Imagine their chagrin when the bill
to do it was proposed in Congress q
few days ago, carrying provision au-
thorizing the Postmaster General to
consolidate lines at any time and
designate primary routes. BY this
consolidating and redesignating de-
vice, the unfoolish Mr.. Farley may
take away lines from those who have
and give them to those who have not.
Provision to Be Dropped.
When no one is looking, the New
Dealers are going to drop one pro-
vision of the new banking bill. This
is the one permitting the President
to terminate the board membership
Of a man who resigns as q Reserve
bank governor. Governors always
have resigned from both offices when
ever they felt out Of sympathy with
the administration. The provision,
therefore, merely put polite practice
into law. However, it suggests further
political domination Of the board, and
therefore the New Dealers are getting
ready to drop the provision.
T. v. A. adherents hape been
Dragging that they are not wor-
rWng about the adverse Grub
decision in Alabama, because the
Supreme Court set precedent in
their tduor in an old Boulder Dam
case.
The Dragging got so loud recently
that interested New Deal lawyers
busted of the Boulder Dam cases and
looked into them. They learned that
the Boulder Dam case probably was
not applicable, because the court ap-
proved 1t on the ground that the sale
of power wholesale, not retail, was
incidental to food control, navigation
and irrigation. This Is entirely Diff
ferent from the 'yardstick" principle
of the Tennessee Valley Authority.
Fancy idea in Lobbying.
A fancy new idea in lobbying is
being worked out In Arizona. The
House of Ari1ona's State Legislature
has passed and the Senate Is now
considering bill to send q full-time

$500 q year. The Arizona con-
gressional delegation here is saying
nothing about this unusual step, but
Is cursing under its collective breath.
