Easing the Burden
Of Bureaucracy
By RAYMOND PITCAIRN
National Chairman
-SentinpLS of the Republic

AS every farmer, or business man
or housewife knows, duplication o1
effort is one of the most deadly foeE
of efficiency and economy.
This is true in government, as
well as on the farm, at the Office OF
in the kitchen.
That probably explains why the
nation has greeted with approval a
recent promise from Washington "a
re0rganize and curtail the confused
mass of federal bureaus, boards or
commissions which now sprawl over
both the geographic and economic
maps of America.
Expansion of the many govern
ment-supported agencies which in
creasingly interfere with the average
citizens life and activities is no new
phenomenon Of our government. It
has been under way for years, re-
gardless Of which political party was
in control
Nor has it been q federal failing
alone. State and local governments
have Succumbed to the same urge
for increased authority "a trend
which does much to explain our
swollen public debt. Bureaucracy
and High Cost of Government grow
in unison.
This is by no means the first
promise to the American people that
Bureaucracy'S costly confusion Of
overlapping political jobs and activ-
ities-with their enormous leakage
of public fundS-would be fitted into
logical and efficient pattern
America has received many earlier
pledges to- the same effect, while
bureaus and commissions continued
to multiply. But somehow those
pledges failed to naterialize. This
time the workers and earnerS Of
America will hope the promises hold
good.
They hope so for two reasons
first, because the heavy costs OF
Bureaucracy - however disguised -
come eventually out of the workers
pockets; and, second, because Bu-
reaucracy itself-hoWever praised by
holders of the political jobs it per-
petuates stands as a froWning
barrier across the Road to Recovery
which all America is now straining
to travel.
The American people didn't need
a horde Of Bureaucratic jObhoIders
to help them conquer continent,
And they neither need nor seek the
costly interference Of so great a
number in solving their problems
today.

MORTGAGE DEBT
Being LOWERED

A composite picture of the farm
mortgage debt situation in Mon.
tana and general conditions of ag.
riculture since the low point of the
depression reflects substantial i'm.
provement, according to figures an
nounced this week by the Farm
Credit administration of Spokane
Mortgage Indebtedness is lower
carrying charges are lighter, fore
closures have declined, valuations
are on the upgrade and income has
mounted, according to the tabula-
tions.
Despite the fact that the Land
bank of Spokane loaned Montana
farmers nearly $17,0O0,0O0 during
the past three and a half years,
approximately 80 per cent of this
money was used to refinanee old
debts so very little new indebted
ness was incurred. Instead, refin-
anced farmers actually reduced
their debt load by more than &c.
100000 through voluntary adjust
ments with their former creditors,
and are saving in excess of $872,00O
a year by obtaining lower rate of
interest.
Against a total valuation of
1915, $4,000 according to the 1886
census, Montana's 50,565 farms are
mortgaged only to the extent of
$74, ,407, 900 or for approximately
20 per cent of their combined
worth.
The Land bank and Land bank
commissioner hold mortgages on
approximately 1900 farms for a
total amount of $21, $1,000 repre-
senting nearly AZ per cent of the
farm mortgage Indebtedness of the
state. These loans have been writ
ten during the past 10 years on an
amortized basis so the principal
can be automatically reduced by
each successive installment pay
ment.
Even though tenant farming has
shown a steady increase for many
years, slightly more than II per
cent of all farms in the state are
operated by owners, against ma
tional average of 81 per cent. Ap-
proximately 81 per cent of owner
operated farms are mortgaged,
however.
Valuations have climbed for 48
per cent of the pre-war normal in
1888 to approximately So per cent
in 1886, and foreclosures have de-
clined from the high point of 10
per 1000 farms in 1888 to approx
mately 20 during 1885, the last
year for which figures are avail
able.
Cash income rose from $47, 1885,
900 at the low point in 1882 to
nearly $780, 100000 last year, with
a further increase being recorded
this year.

Resignation of President
With deepest Regret
...-
NEAR-SHORTAGE OF
ROOMS REPORTED

Directors of the Chamber of
Commerce last night in special
session accepted with deepest re-
gret" the resignation of E. w.
Ham as president and elected the
first vice-president, Thos. d. Clark
to succeed Mr.. Ham as president.
In view of the fact that the an
nual reorganization will take place
the first of October, and that there
were two vice-presidents, Harry
f. Buchanan being the second, no
successor to Mr.. Clark was elect
ed.
Mr.. Hams resignation was ten
dered because he will leave the
city next week to become manag-
er of the J. c. Penney company
store at Pocomoke City, Md,
where he was identified with the
store before coming to Henderson
vile about seven years ago to
open the new store here. NJ
A report of the secretary, Mrs.
Cathryn Wiseman, was read and
discussed in connection with the
years activities, the campaign for
new and increased memberships,
now in progress, and preparation
for next years work. -s'%s' ~
The board approved the cost of
an advertisement in the mid-sum-
mer edition of the Asheville Citi-
zen-Times tomorrow for wide cir
culation among prospective tour
lists.
The secretary reported that the
majority of the hotels and board
ing houses were comfortably filled
and that in some cases, especially
where private baths were desired
in residences, accommodations
were almost exhausted.
The directors expressed the hope
that when prospective guests ap-
piled and the hotels and boarding
houses could not accommodate
them, that they be directed to the
Chamber of Commerce in order
that their needs may be served to
best advantage.
This organization would like to
have a list of all roms, in private
homes or otherwise, with private
boths available for guests. This
information may be telephoned to
474. 1t is felt that there are plen-
ty of accommodations available
But the Chamber of Commerce IS
not acquainted with such.
C. NJ. Ogle, DR.. j. G. Bennett
and Noah Hollowell were appoint
ed by motion of Vice-President
Buchanan as a special committee
to draft suitable resolutions with
respect to the services and reslg-

ASHEVILLE, Aug. %. (UP)-
With Martin Moore's confession
of the Staying of blonde Helen
Clevenger twice told to jury yes
terday, Solicitor Zeb, V. Nettles
said he anticipated closing the
states case soon after court re-
convened today. - -- .
The confession, barred from
court records yesterday by Judge
F. Donald Phillips on a technical
ity, was placed before a jury to-
day when Nettles cross examined
the. gangling negro boy who faces
death in North Carolina's lethal
gas chamber if convicted, ..
For 20 minutes, Nettles, who
has lost but one murder case in
six years in office, read the ne
gro's signed confession of the
crime.
The confession was that given
Sheriff Laurence E. Brown more
than 10 days ago and the one that
was barred from the court records
because it was found the sheriff
had inferred he would seek lem
iency from the judge provided the
negro would give a true state
ment.
Nettles read the long docu-
ment, sentence by sentence. Then
he stopped reading, looked at the
negro as he sat slumped in the
witness chair, and asked:
"Is that true?"
That's what the confession
says" the negro replied.
Nettles read again.
"'When I entered room girl
was on bed. l walked in. She
screamed. Then / shot her. :"
"That's what it says" the ne
gro answered.
&c. :. she still kept screaming
and / hit her with gun on her
face four times until she stopped
screaming :"
Nettles looked at the negro and
waited for him to answer again:
"That's what it says" he repli-
Z" When l shot she jump
ed up and started to run out"
Moore intoned the same:
"That's what it says"
It was the same throughout the
reading of the confession.
Nettles would read line, stop
for the six-foot, three-inch former
Battery Park hotel hall boy to an
swer.
The second document brought
before the jury was a stenograph-
er's transcript of questions asked
the negro when he re-enacted the
crime for local officers and a Sc
lected list of others on August 8.
Nettles followed the same pro-
cedure, stopping after reading
each sentence to ask the negro
if the statement was true:

witness chair. His head popped

cow Courtroom

MOSCOW, Aug. 22.-(UP).-
The Soviet state today demanded
the death penalty in its terrorist
trial against 16 defendants, some
of them formerly high Bolshevlst
leaders, accused of plotting the
death of Joseph Stain, and the
overthrow of the present Russian
regime.
Direct testimony that German
Nazi agent, acting under orders
of one of Adolf Hitler's most
trusted lieutenants, originated a
plot to assassinate Josef Stain,
dictator of Russia, and Klementi
Voroshilov, minister of war, as far
back as 1882 electrified the swell
tering courtroom yesterday where
16 men are on trial for their lives.
Nathan Lurie, 35-year-old sur
geon, a graduate of Berlin Medi'
cal University, testified that a Ger
man engineer, Franz Veiz, organ
lied the terrorist plot in which
followers of exiled Leon Trotzky
joined.
Lurie said another conspirator
Informed him that Veiz was not
a Trotzkyist, but was a Nazi sent
to the Soviet Union by Heinrich
Himmler, then chief of the Nazi
SIS and now head of the Gestapo,
German secret police.
Moses Lurie, who apparently is
not related to Nathan, partly cor
roborated Nathan's confession. He
said he knew Nathan had contact
with Veiz and he knew Veiz was
a terrorist. :,
Nathan claimed he was shocked
bv knowing that the Trotzkyites
we're collaborating with the Nazis,
but later decided that since Trotz-
ky's purpose was terror, they were
obliged to achieve that purpose by
any means and to use any allies
that could be found.
