court itself.
The Wagner act cases, growing
in importance with the spread of
labor strife, remained the most i'm
portant undecided issues on the
courts docket with the disposition
OF a series of cases yesterday, de-
cision of which way effect the lives
of millions.
It appeared certain that the wo-
mems minimum wage law enacted
by l6 states and the District of
Columbia might become immediate
ly operative as a result of the tri-
bunal having completely reversed
itself yesterday to uphold such
legislation.
Many OF the provisions of the
Wagner labor relations act also
were believed sustained as a result
of the courts ruling on the railway
labor act The decision was so
guarded by limitation, however,
that no broad construction could
be placed on it.
The session kept the New Deal
victory record at 100 per cent for
the present term of the court,
which political commentators are
likely to ascribe to a belief that
the court follows the election re-
turns. Since invalidation of the
Guffey coal control act last spring.
the administration has not lost a
single case before the court.

incidents preceding the shooting
at a construction camp near Impe-

ment of the population. Sometime.
there has been criticism of the com.
mission for placing the railroads II
a strait jacket, but the good tina,
the ICC has done far outweighs any
damages it has caused.
Yet, 1t is proposed in the Presi-
dents reorganization plan to take
away the independence which has
characterized the history of the op-
erations of this agency. The Presi-
dent wants to place over the COM
mission a political appointee respon-
sible only to the Chief Executive.
Through all of the years I have
worked in Washington, there has
been a never-ending effort on the
part of politicians to get their hands
on the agency that controls the rail-
roads. It takes no stretch of the
Imagination to see what would
happen if the politicians were able
to succeed in this direction. I am
quite convinced that if the ICC is
subordinated to the political philos-
ophy of a presidential appointee,

Drain on treasury
Someone might arise and say that
my statement is unjustified because
there was not such a terrific drain
on the treasury before the general
accounting office came into exist
ence in 1921. My answer to that is
that there was tremendous drain
on the treasury before 1921 when
the accounting, auditing of bills and
checks, was done by individual
agencies of the government. The
difficulty is that, except for war
time agencies, the cost of running
the federal government before the
general accounting office was es-
tablished was only about one-sev-
enth of what it is now. None of the
federal agencies then in existence
were as large then as they are now;
none had as much authority nor as
great scope of operations, and the
bulk of the new agencies have been
born in legislation that is haphaz-
ard and undigested to say the
least. The older agencies of govern
ment have scores of workers who
know how to handle their business.
Regretfully, it must be said that
most of the new agencies are con-
trolled by, completely filled up with,
men who are unfamiliar with the

every one Of us who uses the rail-
roads will be paying toll. The toll
will not 60 to the railroads, but to
the politicians.
With respect to the federal trade
commission much the same can be
said. Like the ICC, the trade COM
mission is quasi judicial. 1t is an
independent agency. Times unnum-
bered, it has stepped on crooked
business and has forced business Of
this stripe to play the game within
the regulations. On occasion, I have
criticized specific actions by the
commission as lacking in judicial
consideration. BY and large, how
ever, I think no one can say UNI
qualifiedly that the federal trade
commission has failed to do its job
in the interest of individual citizens
after all, is what govern
ment is supposed to do.

gigantic problems their jobs entail.
Public sentiment is thing diff
cult to understand. For example,
millions of people became wrought
up when President Roosevelt sought
to increase the membership of the
Supreme court of the United States
by the addition of six judges of his
own choosing. They rightfully
fought back against the destruction
of our judicial system. Fighting
words characterized the criticism of
Mr.. Roosevelt and his New Dealers
who sought to break down the sys-
tenn of checks and balances created
in our government by the founding
fathers when they provided for exc
cutive. legislative and judicial di-
visions Of governmental authority.
So, am wondering why thus far
there has not been an outburst of
vehement criticism of Mr.. Roose-
welt with reference to the proposed
destruction of the check on spend,
ing. am wondering, too, why peo-
pie who complain SO violently
against spies in the form of tax in
vestigators should not demand of
their government equal protection
for the funds after they have been
taken away from the taxpayers.
Two Good Ones Doomed
There are two other agencies Of
the federal government which Mr..
Roosevelt's reorganization plan will
eventually destroy. Each has prov
ed its worth. Each has a record Of
service to the nation and protection
for individual citizens that cannot
be ignored. I refer to the interstate
commerce commission and the fed
eral trade commission.
