to the motor magnates, In erect:
now, If you admit certain Of these
charges and agree to stop the prac-
tees, and if you will agree to COM
ply with certain other conditions
which we lay down, we will not
prosecute, criminally. So, the mo-
tor companies apparently elected to
agree and avoid further prosecution.
Thus, there came about decree by
the consent Of the accused.
In the first place, / can not be-
lieve there is any legal right in our
laws for the consent decree. It has
been used long time, but 1t seems
to me that it contains very danger
Gus elements. It ought to be stopped
and there ought be no indictments
brought unless there is an inten-
ton to carry the battle clear
through. There ought to be either
a conviction or an acquittal.
Arnold Assumes Dictation
OUer Auto AdUsrtisinS
In the case Of the motor manufac-
turers, however, Mr.. Arnold's deter
mination to make things over has
come to the surface to an even
greater extent than heretofore, even
with Mr.. Arnold. For Mr.. Arnold
has decided that the motor compa-
MES have been spending too much
money for advertising their prod
ucts. In spending so much money
for advertising, Mr.. Arnold cpines
that they are thereby creating
monopoly. In other words, as a
trust buster, Mr.. Arnold figures that
he can become boss of the normal
practice Of business advertising. It
can be construed no other way.
have looked into the question
from number Of angles and have
consulted with numerous individuals
who know their law better than I
know mine. Nowhere have I found
any power vested in the department
OF justice for control Of advertising
should regret it very much Il
congress ever had passed law Civ
ing authority for any agency of gov.
eminent to do more than prosecute
advertisers who use dishonest state
ments. That is to say, II the ad.
vertising statements are crooked,
punishment ought to follow. If the
advertising is honest, what business
has government horning into it?
The reason / feel so keenly about
this sort Of thing is that it is q
trend in government, from the ma
tional government on down the line,
to do things indirectly-to do many
things without genuine authority OF
law, We as nation always have
supported the theory of rule by the
majority. We have legislative bod
ies-the congress, the state assem-
blies, the city councils and so on
to enact the will of the majority
into law. But in the motor case and
in dozens of others which could be
mentioned, the public official with
the "boss" complex takes things
into his own hands and usually gets

taxes can be collected. This
is a situation which has not
entered into the present edu-
cational set-up in our own
County, but it does well to
realize that a like circum-
stance might occur if our
taxes are not kept up, our
teachers paid, our policies
above politics. The increased
cost of modern education
needs sometimes an increase
in taxation, but the funds
should be carefully proper
toned and handled in a bust
ness-like way.

Undue Power Is GiOen
Into Hands of Bureoucrots

Congress, itself, is to blame many
times for putting undue power into
the hands Of bureaucrats. There Is
seldom any law passed by congress
that does not include a provision
which authorizes an executive agen-
cy, administering the statute, to
promulgate regulations for carrying
out the laws intent. Those requla-
tons, say = the force

and effect OF law, and thus con-
gress has delegated power about
which the individual representatives
and senators know nothing.
On the other hand, except for the
trait that ! have been discussing
one so boldly evident in Mr.. Arnold
those regulations could be drawn
in nearly every instance to give
individuals all Of the freedom need
ed to transact business, instead Of
piling one restriction upon another.
doubt very much that any one per-
son in the whole United States
knows all Of the restrictions-the
dos and the on'ts-that comprise
the law Of the nation today. No one
knows them because it would re-
quire an entire lifetime Of an indi-
vidual to obtain them and read
them. And before he had read very
many, there would be a new crop;
there would be changes in those he
had read, and there would be new
laws with new regulations.
We have heard much in late years
about government by men rather
than government by law. Well, we
have it in this country in big way.
It is not as bad, of course, as in the
case Of Hitler or Mussolini or Stain.
When those brothers want to change
law, they change it by decree.
They may 60 through the formality
Of q ratification" by a set Of
stooges some time, but the stooges
were selected as yes-men long in

Everyone has read Of the Jewish
atrocities in Germany, but the mon
strosity, itself, overshadowed the
fact that during all Of the purge,
there was one decree-law after an
other being issued from Hitler's
headquarters. Each time somebody
found loophole or the officials dis
covered q previous decree did not
accomplish all that was desired, out
would pop new decree.
Congress Might Well Take
Notice Of These Conditions
Having seen what can happen
when men, instead Of laws, consti-
tute the authority for government,
1t seems to me that congress might
well take notice. It has given birth
to children in the form Of countless
regulations that are running around
the land like so many thousand
legged monsters. Why, I wonder,
does not congress take q look at
what has sprung from its own fam
lily Of laws. To grow facetious for q
moment: congress probably would
find trouble with its own "in-laws,
as well as private persons whose
mothers-in-law have been charac-
terized in story.
have wondered many times
whether more than a very small
number Of farmers ever understood
the AAA contracts, and the regula-
tons to which those contracts re-
ferred. Examination Of the terms
gave me little inkling Of how thor
oughly the signers were bound, al.
though, as AAA officials often ex-
planned, the provisions were plainly
printed. That fact, however, never
has altered a really bad situation.
None Of US can be expert in all
things. We, therefore, are more or
less at the mercy Of the individuals
who are clothed with the power Of
Office and who relegate to them
selves additional power because
they know those against whom it is
used frequently have no understand
ing Of the whole situation. Thus, /
reiterate, it appears to be time for
congress to review its own work and
make government understandable.

committee is going to contain a
simple remedy on the patents
question.
Final work on this report is
now being done by Committee
man William King, the Utah
Senator. He is half of a sub
committee appointed officially
to make patents recommends
tionS. (The other half Of the
subcommittee is Thurman Ar
mold, Assistant Attorney Gen
eral. who apparently is working
on his own ideas in accordance
with this unique committees
custom of letting each commit
teeman be a committee of one
to do anything he chooses)
Kings remedy is to require
compulsory licenses for patents
in disuse for five years. In this
way he would prevent corpora
tions from buying up patents
and putting them on the shelf
for the 17-year protective period,
thus keeping competitors from
getting hold of them.
The committee probably will
accept this recommendation but
it may go much further when
Arnold submits his opus on the
same subject.

GREEN STRIKES
AT LEWIS With
new ULTIMATUM
Demands Canadian
Group Gust CLIO

HOUSTON, Oct. 6 GN.SD.
The already bitter fighting and
rivalry between the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor and John l..
Lewis CIO was intensified today
by two developments at the AFL
convention here.
From the convention hall, Fed
Grafton President William Green
issued an ultimatum that the
Canadian Trades and Labor Con-
gress must purge itself cleanly OF
all C1O elements or the AFL will
sever its affiliatiOn with it.
And from CIO headquarters in
Washington. D. c.. dispatches dis
closed to labor delegates at the
convention here that Lewis has
called a meeting of the C1O in
order to set up formally an inStl-
tuition similar and directly rival
to the AFL.
WOULD BAR PEACE
On Tuesday after President
Roosevelt's peace plea was read
to the AFL convention, Green said
that formal action contemplated
for the CIO meeting announced
by Lewis was the one move which
could close all doors to hopes of
reunion between the warning labor
factions.
The two developments, widen
ing and Solidifying the CIO-AFL
split, came rapidly after President
Roosevelt, in his message to the
federation convention wrote:
If leaders in the affairs of
organized labor can make and
keep the peace between various
opinions and factions within the
labor group itself, it will vastly
increase the prestige of labor
with the country and prevent
the eraction which otherwise is
bound to injure the workers
themselves.
ROOSEVELT HOPES
because for more than a
quarter of a century l have had
20 many associations and friend
ships with officers of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, ven
ture to express the hope that the
convention will leave open every
possible door of access to peace
and progress in the affairs of
organized labor in the United
States"

n ESSERTS that are

there are for autumn enter

bine their GOODNESS with the

they are even more so.
There are several classifica-
tions of fruit frozen desserts, the
claSsifications being based upon
the foundation material used in
the mixture. Those that have a

but are not icy" in texture are
known as sherbets.
Frozen Mixture
Like Sherbet
The frozen mixture similar
to sherbet is the ice; but it is
distinguished from the sherbet
in that it is more crystalline or
"icy" in texture in contrast to
the greater fluffineS sand
Smoothness of sherbets. Both
are fruit favored, but an ice
never has milk in it.
MouSseS are uncooked frozen
desserts which are always still
frozen; that is, they are never
frozen in a crank-type freezer
nor are they stirred after being
placed in the cold compartment
of a refrigerator. MousSes are
very simply made, being COM
posed of whipped cream which
has been sweetened and COM
