A Welcome Survey

The announcement that the District Commissioners
contemplate survey of agencies under the Board of
Public Welfare with view to possible reorganization
and consolidation won't make the local taxpayers mad
Admitting that the Board and its agents are try
ing to do as good job possible it seems to be
undeniGbLe that functions and duties haze been
thrOwn upon the Board in rather haphGznrd
manner.
It has reached the point where the board and its
employees controlling agencies of the local govern
ent that expend about twenty per cent Of the total
District appropriations.
That is lot Of money to the taxpayers.
Possibly maximum of efficiency is being obtained
in the direction Of these far-flung agencies.
that is true the taxpayers will be delighted to have
the fact confirmed by thorough and impartial study.
If it isn't true the taxpayers deserve to know that it
isn't.
And they deserve to be told in what way if any, bet
ter conduct Of these institutions can be obtained.
AS A MATTER OF FACT THE COMMISSIONERS
MIGHT WELL GIVE CONSIDERATION TO Elk

FOR THE WELFARE AGENCIES
In many ways the District government has "just
growed from the time of enactment of the organic act
more than fifty years ago.
It is possible that some few of the many branches
added to the government since that time have ouved
their usefulness
There has never been comprehensive attempt
made TO IUtGt agencies are still needed and WhGt
might be discarded.

Cause Above RenOWn'
By James T. Williams, Jr.

If the liberal, constructive and
progressive supporters Of Senator
Borah of IdahC and Governor
Landon Of Kansas are to prevail
at the next Republican national
convention, they must put the
cause above renoWn."
This is what Senator Borah and
Governor Landon have done since
sentiment in support Of their
nomination for the Presidency be.
gan to manifest itself, first in the
agricultural States in and border.
ing upon the Mississippi Valley,
and latterly in States all over the
Union.
This is what the plain people
Of the prairie country are doing
as they weigh the issues and eval.
ulate the qualifications Of the men
most available to lead this coun.
try out of the quicksands Of Per.
sonal Government and forward
along the broad highway OF
straight Americanism.
Senator Borah ami Governor
Landon are not attempting to
seize control of the Cleveland con.
Ventlon by entering into deals
With this man or that in order to
dictate the officers Of the conven.
ton.
Senator Borah and Governor
Landon, each in his own field and
among their respective supporters,
have thus far chiefly concerned
themselves with expounding the
great issues upon which the com.
ing campaign for the Presidency
must be waged if it is to be a real
contest and not a sham battle, if il
is to be q patriotic fight and not
the old-time political game which
special interests play with politi
cal subsidiaries as their pawnS.
LANDON OR BORAH
Geographically the liberal, con.
Structive and progressive support.
ers Of Senator Borah and Cover
nor Landon are numerically
largest in the agricultural States
within and adjacent to the Mis-
sissippi valley. This is the back
bone Of the support of the Senator
and the Governor. Upon this
foundation sentiment in favor Of
the leadership Of both has been
growing in States Of other regions
But throughout the agricultural
States Of the middle region today
the prairie country, "the land Of
the good EARTH" Senator Borah il
the second choice Of the vast ma
jority Of, Governor Landon's fol
lowers and Governor Landon il
the second choice of the vast ma
jority Of Senator Borah's follow
erS.
It is in the light of this fact
that Vice-PreSident Garner, act
ing in his unconstitutional ca
pacity as vice-manager Of the
RooSevelt-Farley campaign for the
reelection of Personal Govern
ment. has led the mischiefmakers
in their attempt to divide the
Borah-Landon followers into two
camps and lure them into a
bitter personal contest.
The inevitable result of such
q conflict would be the re-nomin.
alton Of Mr.. Hoover or the nom.
nation Of a Hooverite on a plat.
form giving unconditional en-
dorsement to the record Of the
Hoover Administration.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1936-04-22

} Nobody, not even his most In
tense political opponent, ever
questions the political sagacity
of Jack" Garner of Texas. He
is so much smarter when it
comes to the strategy and tactics
Of political warfare than is his
political boss, Jobmaster General
Farley, that the two cannot even
be compared on this score.
Mr.. Farley is adept only in the
use Of Tammany methods to work
his political will. He is. depen-
dent on the billions obtained for
him by Mr.. Roosevelt from the
Federal Treasury to build the vast
machine by which he dictates
who shall eat and who shall
starve, who shall be put on the
Federal payroll and who shall
be kicked off, and who shall
be exempted from inquisitional
punishment.
But Mr.. Garner has made life
long study Of the strategy and the
tactics of political battle. It was
he who convinced Mr.. Roosevelt
months ago that the Administra.
ton would have a real fight on
its hands If the followers of Sena-
tor Borah and Governor Landon
were able t. gain control Of the
Cleveland convention. Mr.. Roose.
welt was wise enough to realize the
force of Mr.. Gamers reasoning
and the Administration went TO
work along the lines recommended
by Mr.. Garner.
DESPERATE TACTICS
From that cay until now the
Journalistic janizaries of Personal
Government, its cuckoos in the
Congressional press galleries, and,
last but not least. the snakes of
alien intrigue, maSquerading as
newspaper men, have been ing
their Shiny best to break up the
Cleveland convention by making
trouble between the liberal, con-
structive and progressive fol-
lowers of Senator Borah and Gov
STLOT LAuQOn.
Aiding and abetting these des-
perate tactics have been those
Senators who have made "a sep
arate" peace with Personal Gov
eminent and decided to forget
about the Government Of the
Constitution until after Election
Day.
Senator Borah is as we'll aware
as Governor Landon that Per
Sonal Government, as it is now
manipulated by the despotic firm
of RooSevelt-Farley & Co., can
not be driven from power except
under the leadership of a Theo-
dore Roosevelt American with
character enough ito put the
cause above renown" and pledged
to an honest platform Of straight
Americanisrn.
There is yet time, however, for
the strategy and tactics con-
ceived by Mr.. Garner to triumph.
The only men who can prevent
such a triumph are Senator
Borah and Governor Landon
themselves. Their liberal, con.
Structive and progressive follow
ers in every State will fervently
pray that these two outstanding
leaders of the opposition to Per
sonal Government are ready for
the test,

JUNGLE CARL"

Out in Hollywood, capital of
moviedom, they cali him Uncle
Carl" They are speaking, Of
course, Of Carl Laemmle, an au.
thentic pioneer Of the industry.
The film world generally was al.
most shocked to hear the other
day that 'Uncle Carl" had sold his
Universal Pictures Corporation to
q group Of New York bankers for
five and a half million dollars.
He owned 80 per cent Of the com.
mon stock.
It had been thought that the
kindly little man who got into the
motion picture industry 30 years
ago with a shooting gallery in his
home city Of Chicago, could never
be separated from the Universal
company which he had built up
with his own two hands.
Uncle Carl was born in Germany
and came to this country when he
was II. Like more than one motion
picture nagnate, he made his first
money In the clothing business
With his savings he opened q small
spicture house in 1906; and eventu.
ally had o string of them, and then
opened q film exchange and finally
organized the Universal Pictures
Corporation which for years occu'
pied q high place in the List Of
producing companies.

In certain roles no prima donna

} period Of 20 years. His invari'
able triumph ct the polls is one
Of the political phenomena Of the
times. Pretty much everyone in
Milwaukee has been against Dan
Hoan at one time or another, ex-
cept the majority Of the voters
themselves. It was rs years ago
when the people of Milwaukee
snatched young Dan Hoan from
obScruity and made him city at
torney..
There had been widespread cor.
ruption and graft on the part Of
ONCE holders from the old line
parties. But in 1910, in disgust,
he turned to the Socialists and
put them in power all down the
line. Two years later, though,
they kicked the Socialists out, all
except young Hoan, who had a
four-year job. And In 1916, they
made him mayor, q job which he
has occupied ever since. Now
when q man remains mayor for
20 years and is tagged for the
same job for another term, there
must be q good reason for it.
Milwaukee folk will tell you that
they have almost the lowest per
capita government cost and the
lowest per capita bonded indebted
ness with the exception Of one
other city only. They will tell you
that they expect to be out Of debt
in q very few years. They will
tell you that their police depart
ment Is untainted with graft and
that racketeerS and gangsters are
given short Shrift.
They brag about their public
schools and with justice, and they
enlarge pridefully upon their parks
and Fairgrounds and all Of the
other luxurieS and conveniences
for the comfort, pleasure and
health Of the poor.
They viii tell you, too, that Dan
Hoan, who lives in q commonplace
little wooden house, has no more
money In the bank today than
when he first went into Office.
Hoap'S success is a remarkable tri-
umph for the plain man Of the
common people, the man Of char
acter and interrupted honesty.
