The commission also repeated a re-
quest made in past years that Con-

physical assets of competitor in cases
where such a merger would substan-
TALLY lessen competition. Present laws
prevent only acquisition of the capital

Effective Government
Cincinnati Enuuirer)

NCmCmnatl enquirer
President RooSevelt's program for reorganization
of the executive branch of the government is the
most far-reaching proposal in this field ever to be
made from the White House. 1t should find SYM
pathetic reception in Congress and among the public
regardless of party
His reorganization plan should not be confused
with his hopes expanding the powers of the Federal
Government over economic life, against which this
newspaper has had occasion to sound warnings The
reorganization scheme would not increase Federal
power or even the Executive power. 1t would merely
facilitate administration and give unity to the
executive branch-a unity which the founding fathers
sought to insure.
In brief Mr. Roosevelt's proposals are % to
pand his own staff to include several executive as
sistants co to strengthen the budget bureau and
planning agencies go to extend the merit system to
virtually tine whole Civil Service, "a to add two
executive departments with Cabinet members at their
head and then bring the 100 independent commissions
under one another department, and 60 to revise
the auditing system drastcaly.
In the main, these are as sound as they are COM
prehensive. Two questionable proposals will
to most thoughtful students of public affairs. One
is the attempt to bring ALI independent commits
sions under executive department This would
deny independent status to several boards, such
as the Interstate Commerce Commission, which have
quasi-udical functions and should be strictly indie
pendent of the President except he appoints their
personnel The other questionable step is the aban-
ldonment of the present auditing system, by which
the Comptroller General must approve expenditures
before the Treasury pay vouchers
Even in these cases the of efficiency would
doubtless be served by the Presidents plan But
independent commissions have been strikingly sue
cessfu their status should not be changed lightly
The Comptroller General has often delayed unnec-
essariy the work of government, arrogatng judicial
role in addition auditors role But he has also
been valuable check that sort of carelessness in
expenditure which can become grave abuse. Much
thought should be given to this feature of the Pres
dents proposals. by Senators and Representatives be-
fore they sanction the change ~
On the whole, however, the President is to be
commended for the reorganization plan which his co7
nlittee has developed. The plan is not danger to-
our democratic system of self-government, but is
consistent with it, BY making democracy more effi-
Gent, it should buttress the constitutional system
which all cherish.
