TOOTHPICK TOPICS
(By c. C. FLINT)

ssssseessseese@sssesssse
This b Sunday and, as / hold a
degree in theology, I am going to
preach a sermon to the prelates
of some of our churches who re-
joice more in dollars than in
souls. / am moved to do this by
the sight of so many unchurched,
yet devout, Christians who fear
to go to church lest their presence
should be used as an opportunity
to beg benevo.ences of them.
Christians of the First Century
were not required to pledge regu-
lar amounts to the church, yet the
early Christians were far more
successful in the preaching and
practice of their faith than is the
Protestant church today. And it
must be recalled that these apos-
ties worked their way" and car
ried neither purse or scrip, pre-
ferring to show by their independ-
ence and zeal that the doctrine
was free to all degrees of men, as
it was freely preached.
Today, a church membership
is important only if it can keep
the organization "out of the red"
Salaries must be met, and thus
, evangelical crusades are part Of
the program of replenishing the
church. 1t becomes business to
spread the Gospel and to take pay
for preaching it. Some rectors
get as much as $4,000 a year for
the knack of filling" the pews
on Sunday. They are good men
and better actors, but is this in
keeping with the teaching and
spirit of Christ?

SECOND SHEETS-500 for SOC.
The Artman Press. aug7
The Washington times., 1937-01-12
Too Many Duties

The committee has not spared
me; they say, what has been
common knowledge for twenty
years, that the President can
not adequately handle his re-
sponSibilities; that he is over.
worked, that it is humanely i'm
possible, under the system
which we have, for him fully to
carry out his constitutional duty
as Chief Executive because he
is overwhelmed with minor de-
tails and needless contacts ariS-
ing directly from the bad organi-
zation and equipment of the
Government. I can testify to
this. With my predecessors who
have said the same thing over
and over again, I plead guilty.
The plain fact is that the
present organization and equip
ment of the Executive Branch
Of the Government defeats the
Constitutional intent that there
be a single responsible Chief
Executive to coordinate and
manage the departments and
activities in accordance with the
laws enacted by the Congress.
Under these conditions the Gov
ernment cannot be thoroughly
effective in working, under pop
ular control, for the common
good.
The Committee does not spare
the Comptroller General for his
failure to give the Congress
a prompt and complete audit
each year, totally independent
of administration, as a means of
holding the Executive truly to
account; nor for his unconsti-
tutional assumption of execu-
tive power; nor for the failure
10 keep the accounting system
of the Government up to date
to serve as the basis of infor-
nation, management and con-
troll.
The committee criticizeS the
use of boards and commissions
in administration, condemns the
careless use of corporations"
as governmental instrumental
ties, and points out that the
practice of creating independent
regulatory commissions, who
perform administrative work in
addition to judicial work, threat
ems to develop a fourth
branch" of the Government for
which there is no sanction in
the Constitution. Nor does the
committee spare the inadequacy
of the Civil Service system.
The Washington times., 1937-01-12
MESSAGE OF PRESIDENT

cies under broad coordinated
democratic authority.
But in so doing we shall know
that we are going back to the
Constitution, and giving to the
Executive branch modern tools
of management and an up-to-
date organization which will en-
able the Government to go for
ward efficiently. We can prove
to the world that American gov
ernment Is both democratic and
effective.
In this program I invite your
cooperation, and pledge myself
to deal energetically and prompt
ly with the executive response
bilities of reorganization and ad-
ministrative management when
you shall have made this posi-.
BILE by the necessary legislation.
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT.
The White House,
January IL, 1887.
The Washington times., 1937-01-12
No POWer Increase

In placing this program before
you I realize that it will be said
that I am recommending the in
crease of the powers of the Presi-
dency. This is, not true. The
Presidency as established on the
Constitution of the United States
has all of the powers that are re-
Quired.
In spite of timld souls in 1887
who feared effective government
the Presidency was established
as a single strong chief eXecu-
tive office in which was vested
the entire executive power of the
National Government, even as
the legislative power was placed
in the Congress and the judicial
in the Supreme Court.
What I am placing before you
is not the request for more
power, but for the tools Of man.
agement and the authority to
distribute the work so that the
President can effectively dis
charge those powers which the
Constitution now places upon
him. Unless we are prepared
to abandon this important part
of the Constitution, we must
equip the Presidency with au-
thority commensurate with his
responsibilities under the Con-
Stitution.
The Committee on Admins
trative Management, after a
careful examination of recent at
temptS to reorganize the Gov.
ernment and of State reorgani-
cations carried out so ably by
Governor Frank o. Lowden in
Illinois, Governor Alfred E.
Smith in New York, Governor
Harry F. Byrd in Virginia, Gov
ernor William Tudor Gardiner
in Maine, and by other COVER
norS, accepts the view held by
my distinguished predecessors
