when he said, nearing the

torney general, advised Mr.. Roose-
welt that such power was vested
in him as President. Undoubtedly,
Arthur Morgan will try out the mat
ter in court.
The disturbing thing is, however,
that if President Roosevelt has that
much authority now, how much
more authority will he have to do
that sort of thing, and many, many
others, if given authority to reor-
ganize the government agencies as
he sought in the original govern
ment reorganization bill. Of course,
much of his demanded authority has
been shorn from the bill, but I be-
ieve there is ground for alarm at
what remains. Whether Mr.. Roose-
welt continues to be President in
definitely or whether some other
man is President, I think congress
has no right to give away such
power.
But to get back to the case Of
Arthur Morgan, and his "contuma-
cy." The meaning of the word is
clear. Arthur Morgan, according to
people who know him intimately,
was trying to do the best job he
knew how to do. He read the law
one way; the President read it an
other. I see no legitimate reason
for removal of the man on the
grounds of contumacy. That is no
crime. Discipline Mr.. Morgan? Yes.
if the President wanted to do so.
Suspend him until the facts have
been brought to light by congress
sional inquiry, a mode of procedure
which congress reserved to itself.
But removal seems to be rather
foolish, and the action certainly has
reacted adversely to the President
among his own partisans.
The White House inquiry failed to
adduce any story about the opera
n, tons of Harcourt
0tones Morgan and Mr..
Lilienthol Lilienthal. I hear
in many quarters
that Mr.. Lilienthal is the man who
really started the trouble in the be-
ginning. He is the same man who
was connected with the Wisconsin
utilities commission and wrote an
order directing a reduction in tele-
phone rates before holding a hear
ing to give interested parties
chance to have their day in court.
II current reports be true, Mr.. Lili-
enthal actually signed the order re-
ducing rates several days before
the so-called public hearing was
held. The court called his action
arbitrary and delivered itself of
quite tongue-lashing about such
unwarranted and despotic action.
That opinion was rendered late in
February. Whether Mr.. Lilienthal
has been guilty of the same kind of
despotism in iva, 1 have no means
OF knowing; but, this much surely
can be said: If he attempted any
thing of the kind, Arthur Morgan
would be the first to object.
Mr.. Lilienthal's operations in
IVA, as far as they are visible from
Washington, have the appearance
and the results naturally to be ex-
pected of an extremist. Arthur Nor
gan is self-willed, too, but the rec
ords OF the two men as far as thew
are known publicly assuredly shows
him to understand human nature.
Mr.. Roosevelt, having elected to
hre Mr.. Morgan for "contumacy"
and thereby having placed himself
on the side Of Mr.. Lilienthal. now
must face the political music.
