WASHINGTON.-By this time it should be
clear that the question of should the government
so into business" is purely theoretical one. The
government is in business in many fields. and
every tendency of the times Is drivinS 1t farther
IN every year. 1t is a raeu, not a theory.
The cases discussed here you will note, are
those of the many agencies concerned with
regulating and controlling business but only
those in which the government is performing
civil function of producing goods or services which
are ordinarily produced by private firms or indi-
viduals
Banking is one of the fields ordinarily occu-
pied by private enterprise. But who is the big
gest banker in the country today? Why, the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
Since Hoover started that federal-bank, back
in 1882, it has allocated the stupendous sum of
S11,Sl3,479,9 banking operation not only
far beyond the reach of any private bank, but
the biggest banking job in the history OF the
world.
The RFC itself owns stock of the Import -EX-
port Bank the Commodity Credit Corporation,
and many other government-incorporated agen-
cies.
This growing form of incorporation for public
business has also made the Treasury itself a
sort of holding company of investment trust.
1t owns among billions of dollars worth OF Securi-
ties the stock of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, the Inland Waterways Corp. and
dozens of others.
The recenty-passed Wagner-Steagall bill
guarantees that the government will be fac
tor in the building and renting situation for
the next 20 years. While this program is largely
financial in the form of aid-loans to communi-
ties, it also implies a certain amount of direct
management, the 5000 families occupying Re-
settlement projects can tell you.
The shipping program now being launched
by the U. S. Maritime Commission is again pr
marily a fnancial-aid proposition, but here, too,
the act contains a definite provision for govern
ment building, ownership and operation of ships
if the private-aid program fails to produce re-
suits.
The government runs railroad dominting
all of central Alaska, which reports current op-
Grating deficit of only 17,443.89, and considers
that ercellent because 27,12181 spent for
mining exploration, making it really operat-
ing profit of S977y92, "a most satisfactory i'm
proyement,' says the report.
The titanic work now being done by the Ten
nessee Valley Authority presents a typical case
OF conflict between public and private business.
When IVA recently contracted to sell $780,
600 worth OF electric power year to the Alumi-
mum Company at Alcoa, Tenn, and another
S750000 worth year to the Arkansas Power and
Light Company, the cry against IVA from south
ern utilities redoubled They have always
claimed unfair and ruinous competition.
The question of whether or not the federal
government shall go into business is longer
a realistic one. The government is in business
already, in a big way.

A BUSINESS MANAGER
FOR THE SCHOOL SYSTEM

Guy Weakley, superintendent of El
Centro's elementary schools, high school
and junior college, expressed the belief
at Kiwanis club luncheon here Friday
that it might be worth while for the
school districts to consider appointment
of a business manager to handle their
financial affairs and purchases. The
suggestion is one which seems to merit
careful consideration by the public.
Ones first thought, naturally enough,
is that such an appointment would mean
another salary to be paid by the people
of the school district. Further consider
alton, however. causes us to wonder If
the money paid out in such a salary
might not be saved two times over by
economy made possible in purchases for
the school districts.
Ell Centre schools have never had
business manager nor purchasing agent
1t has always been the duty of the prin-
cipal and the school trustees to make
and authorize all purchases, and to carry
on other business details. Such an ar
rangement is not conducive to the best
business management.
Mr.. Weakley has done a marvellous
job with the Ell Centro school systems.
His ability as an educator has been prov
ed time after time-and his ability as a
business man has not been below par.
1t stands to reason however, that he
would be able to do more as an educator
if the bulk Of business worries were taken
off of his shoulders. He could do more,
too, as business man if he did not have
the worries of an educator-but Mr..
Weakley is far too able as an educator to
be used in any other capacity.
The Ell Centre school system, from the
volume of money expended every year,
rates as one of the community's biggest
businesses. Considering this, it most cer-
tainly would be wise to investigate the
desirability of employing business man.

SUPERVISED DANCES
FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

Mrs. Russell Thompson of Holtville
is among those who, quietly and without
especial notice from the community, go
ahead with projects which are of inestinl-
able value to the community. Mrs.
Thompson initiated, as her own project,
a series of dances for Holtville young
people. A club was organized and just
enough was charged to cover expenses.
A bulk of patrons were high school STU
dents.
Mrs Thompson's idea is to give the
young people a respectable, wholesome
place for dancing She stands at the door,
refuses admission to Objectionable per-
sons, and eXpels those who are intoXicat-
ed or otherwise Objectionable on the
dance floor Dances have been held twice
week during the summer with outstand-
ing success.
Such project might be welcome ad-
dition to any community. 1t has been
in the past that young people, most of
them of high school age, attended and
made utter fools of themselves by trying
to be what they consider "grown up"
Proper supervision at any dance, wheth-
er commercial or private, is necessary
to encourage the young people to be
sensible about their pleasure.
Mrs. Thompson, in Holtville, has
found one wholesome way to overcome
the dangers of public dances for young
people. Here is an example which should
be noted and followed by organizations
or individuals in every valley community.

GOOD NEWS
Vallejo Times-Hera1dD

It's hard to take much pleasure in a great
deal of the news that comes out of Washington
these days. but here's one item that ought to
bring hearty cheers even in the hottest of hot
weather.
The Treasury Department is rearranging its
income tax blanks to make them little sim
pier, and will begin distributing them on Janu-
airy so as to give the maximum amount of
time to make them out beYore that awful March
Is deadline. The new form is especially aimed
at making it simpler for 'the little fellow" but
the treasury is hoping to simplify even the re-
turns for upper bracket individuals and corpor-
ations.
Paying the tax is always bad enough but
making out the blank is almost as bad as the
actual payment. Anything that can be done
TO make it any less painful Will be a boon to
millions and millionares alike.

and you see vista after vista OF
green farm lands, with bumper
crops growing out of rich soil, with
well-kept farm houses and big
barns, with pleasant villages and
neat, up-to-date cities.
The people you meet are intelli-

the kind we used to call the salt
of the earth. And you casually sum
up your impression by remarking.

And then, If you stop to thin

it's all like that-mile upon mile of
it, from the Berkshires to the Cas-
cades and beyond, from the Mime

an endless series of fair horizons,
rich farm land interspersed with
tremendously busy industrial re-
gions, the whole of it peopled by
some of the finest folk who ever
drew the breath of life.
Oh, there are bare spots, of
course. We have our share of des-
erts where nothing will grow; of

the present recommendation would
be subservient to the Executive.
Recorded experience bellies that
contention. All judges must be
approved by the Senate, and once
seated are not subject to Executive
domination or control.
Presidents Who Fought
With Court Recalled.
Out of every fight of hysteria on
this question there comes further
charge that the Presidents pro-
posals will lead to dictatorship,
through the establishment OF an
evil precedent. But there have
been far more significant prece-
dents than this. Jefferson ignored
a subpoena issued by Chief Justice
Marshall. Jackson, in stubborn
moment, told the Supreme Court to
try and enforce its own DEGREES.
Lincoln totally disregarded Chief
Justice Taney's demand that the
privilege of the writ Of habeas cor
pus be restored. No one of these
Presidents was dictator, but each
illustrated how powerless the courts
are unless the purity of their
motives and the justice of their
decisions win them the popular
support. Indeed, the Supreme
Court. in its opinions, has specifi-
cally recognized this fact.
Let us have done with irrespon-
sible talk about dictatorship. Let
us turn our minds to realities. We

tempt to pack" the court. Moth.
ing could be farther from the
truth. Every increase in the mem
bership of court is open TO that
charge, and indeed every replace
ment is subject to the same OBJ
lection. Under the Presidents
proposal, If there Is any increase
in the total number of Judges,
it will be due entirely to the fact
that judges now of retirement age
elect to remain on the bench. If
those judges think it would be
harmful to the court to increase
its membership, they can avoid
that result by retiring upon full
pay.
The Constitution imposes upon
all Presidents the duty of appoint
ing Federal judges, by and with the
advice and consent of the Senate.
Upon what ground, may / ask, do
the opponents of the President JUS
tify the claim that he shall not
perform the duty that all other
Presidents have performed? George
Washington appointed IL members
of the Supreme Court. Jackson
appointed 5. Lincoln appointed 5.
Grant appointed 4. Harrison ap-
pointed 4. Taft appointed 5 and
elevated still another to be Chief
Justice. Harding appointed 4 and
Hoover appointed 3. President
Roosevelt has appointed none at all.
1t is assumed and sometimes
asserted that the appointees under
