Slap-Dash Methods

HE oppostion to the ten and fifteen per cent econ-
omv' plans for the Federal Government now being
discussed in Congress is not based any desire to see
the Federal Government continue along the path OF
reckless expenditure and mounting deficits.
T. is based on the sound knowledge that the way to
curb this reckless expenditure is not through blanket
cuts such as have been proposed or through turner
delegation of the appropriation power to the Chief
Executive.
These nronosals would inevitably lead to the curtai-
ment Of essential functions while nonessenal func-
tons would continue to make political hay
THEY WOULD PROFESSIONALLY LEAD TO AN
ERA OF FAvoRITIsM AND TERRORISM AMONG
GOVERNMENTAL PERSONNEL
And the net result in savings under either OF the TWO
foremost economy plans would probably be so small
that they would not make even an appreclabe dent IN
the present high cost of Government.
It is amazing that these sap-dash ECONOMY" pro-
posas should gain such widespread support IN Con-
gress which has consistently refused to view realistically
the genuine opportunities which exist for saving money
for the taxpayers.
Members who actually try to work out means of cur
failing the present cost OF Government with
out disocating the desirable functions of the Federal
organization cannot seem to get fair hearing for their
suggestions.
Others who have the queer idea that the word sav-
ings'' is synonymous with the word ECONOMY" and
who would approach the goal through disruption Of the
Government service are able to gain widespread sup
port for their proposals.
This present Congress has been in session for more
than four months
During that time it has passed virtually legislation
except about half of the regular appropriation bills and
has taken some preliminary steps toward preparation
of the remainder of such bills.
Can Congress afford to admit to the American people
that the paucity of legislation which it has enacted in
four months was illconsidered and that all these bills
contained amounting to ten fifteen per cent?
That would be the effect of favorable action either
the Cannon Byrnes economy proposals.

Since the convention was held

traptions and, while man for man
and rifle for rifle he can hold his
own with the best, these modern
versions of the Calling were a
little too much for him.

paid off his debts to the states

another, buys one fine uniform

He is mentally wide awake and

Post Wheeler, former American
Minister to Albania, has given us
this picture of him:
Il visualize a young man,
natty and assured, with direct
and friendly eyes, sitting in the
study of a simple bungalow on
the Adriatic beach talking with
me of his plans. A man of three
great loves his country, his
mother, and his horse. His
mother died suddenly, an ir-
remediable loss to him. His
horse, a splendid pure blooded
Arab stallion. 80 years old,
which he has ridden in eve~y
battle in many campaigns, en-
joys a luxurious leisure at the
present time"
Zog will have his throne as long
as he can hold it. Europe insists
that Albania shall stand as an in
dependent country across the
Adriatic from Italy.
The peace of the Continent
would not afford it's seizure by an
other power. Also, zog and his
mountaineers would make it pretty
hot for any power that tried tc
take their country.

Last Deem Edwin c. Hill
Der it appeared that King zog
was to marry the beautiful 19-year-
old Countess Johanna Won Mikes,
daughter of a Hungarian family.
She went to Tirana and talked it
over with the monarch.
An official denial of the engage
ment was later announced, and
this denial was prompted by the
failure of the parties to agree on
religious matters and the question
of residence. The King asked the
Countess to give up Roman
Catholicism for Mohammedan1sm
and also that she agree to spend
nine months of the year in AL
bania. She took an airplane back
to Budapest.
The Albanian minister to the
United States was somewhat Skep-
tical of this version of the story.
He said that he doubted it largely
on the point of religious differ
ences, which he said could not
prevail under the circumstances
related.

list is larger than that of the
President of the United States
and he has a private income
that, even judged from Ameri-
can standards. is not negligible.
So there is little that could in
duce him to give up his single

patriots live constantly in the

the throne, should anything hap

Economy may be the new found
watchword at the Executive end Of
Constitution Avenue. In the
Congress, however, it is still the
same old catchword so frequently
heard in the year preceding Con-
gresSional election.
Next year. every one of the four
hundred and thirty-five members
of the House of Representatives is
I'D for reelection. All must give
an account to their constituents OF
the way in which they have dis
charged their responsibilities as
members of the Legislative Branch
of the National Government.
This will not be an agreeable
task for those Congressman who
have abdicated their authority
under the Constitution and been
content to take orders regarding
their responsibilities.
ECONOMY"
Under the Constitution, Con-
gress is given the authority to
appropriate public money. And
the Constitution imposes on the
Congress the responsibility OF
limiting these appropriations to
those necessities that enter into
the maintenance Of the National
Government. BY maintenance is
meant providing funds with which
the National Government may full
fill the purposes for which it was
established.
There is not a word in the Con-
stitution about spending money to
keep a political party in power.
And the Constitution is equally
silent in regard to spending money
to renominate or re-elect Senators
and Representatives in Congress.
Expenditures for all these pur-
poses are not made under the au-
thority given to Congress in the
Constitution. They are made OF.
by, and for the Spoils system. 1t is
the spoilsmongers in Congress who
are the most reckless spenders OF
the public money. They are the
ones who abdicate their authority
and take orders regarding their re-
SponSibility.
There are many ways in which
the present Congress could turn
economy from a catchWord into a
watchword. The first of these ways
would be to refuse to appropriate
any more Federal money Tor the
relief of those States in the Union
which are unwilling to modernize
their own machinery Of govern
ment within the State.
In State after State the ox-cart
system of local government is still
in operation. In State after State
it's citizens are going further every
day to do their shopping than they
60 to attend to county business.
The reason for this is that the
States have failed to keep pace IN
their political structure with the
DEVELOPMENT of transportation and
communication. AS result there
are two, three, four and sometimes
five times as many counties IN a
State as are needed for the admin
istration of local affairs.
One of the reasons why the
