give the President about half ~
much scope as he originally asked
for. The chief remaining conho-
versial points are:
I POWER TO REORGANIZE--
4. The President would be au-
thorized to transfer, regroup, con-
solidate, reorganize and abolish
administrative agencies with the
exception of agencies which in
clude the Interstate Commerce,
Federal Trade, Securities Ex-
change, Communications, Power,
Coal and Maritime Commissions,
the National Labor Relations
Board, Federal Reserve System
and others. He could not abolish
any executive department. His
orders must lie before Congress
for so days before becoming effec-
tive and could be nullifed only by
a congressional enactment-which,
as usual, would be subject TO veto.
q CIVIL SERVICE--The PreSi-
&. dent is authorized to place
non-civii service employees whose
duties do not involve determine
ton of policies under civil service,
assuming they can pass non-com-
petitive examinations This might
affect about 100000 employees.
q COMPTROLLER GENERAL
d. The Senate bill would
abolish this office, setting up a
Joint congressional committee on
accounts which would appoint an
Auditor General responsible TO
Congress. The House commit
tee bill retains the Comptroller
General but makes him respon-
sible to and removable by the
President.
Both Senate and House have
approved the relatively non-con-
troversial proposals to give the
President six executive assistants
and to create a Department of
Public Welfare.

There is another side to this
Germany question. France: The
Germans themselves are a fine
people - and they are the most
dangerous nation in the world be-
cause of one of their finest out
standing characteristics - obedl-
ence to authority.
The Germans will obey their
leader. Backed by a strong obedl-
ent people ruler can play havoc
with the peace and the security
of the world if he is evilly dis
posed.
The Germans had an evilly dis
posed ruler who put them into the
World war which nearly wrecked
civilization. Germany now seems
to have another evilly disposed
ruler.
Germany should remember that

Given 4 Years To Fix Watch

last four years, a wrist watch belonging to Don
Solberg was returned him last week when the
err who now resides at Beverly Hills, California, re-
turned here for short visit. When Mr. Soberg left
Luverne years ago he forgot his watch and had
not remembered it since Upon passing the local
jewelry store however it suddenly dawned upon him
that once upon time he had owned wrist watch
and left it in the jewelry shop for repairs. 'Hmmm

Mr. Schlader assured him that the time-piece was
done-had been, in fact for four years.

BUT TO BE PASSED on
AT this season of the year when
thousands of tourists pour into Min
nesota to enjoy the beauties of a
"land of ten thousand lakes" the
Importance Of conservation and de-
velopment of our natural resources
is emphasized. This is mainly due
to the fact that the possessions we
take more or less for granted are
enhanced in value when others less
endowed appreciate and seek them.
A health-giving climate, unexcell-
ed scenic beauties and resources,
once seemingly limitless supplies of
game and fish--these, added to the
charm of the beautiful lakes, have
made Minnesota a great summer
playground while providing an ideal
place in which to live throughout
the entire year. Twenty-Five state
parks, a national forest, 10000
acres Of wild life refugees, and an
excellent system of highways have
marked the presentations and en-
joyment Of the states out-of-doors.
To preserve and develop these re-
sources will require determined
fight and an unending vigilance.
What might be termed the Mime
sofa tradition Is the idea that all
the commonwealth possesses is held
by it's citizens in trust, to be used
to their full advantage and enjoy
ment, but to be passed on richer
and better than they received them.

FIVE YEARS AGO AND NOW
According to the Presidents own
estimate, the federal government
will go another four billion dollars
short this year. The apparent un-
concern with which he announces
this prospective deficit is hard to
square with his attitude of five
years ago when, in a message to
congress, he viewed with alarm the
wasteful practices of nickel-spender
Hoover. On March 10, 1888, Roose-
welt told the people:
For 3 long years the Federal Gov
eminent has been on the road to-
ward bankruptcy.
With the utmost seriousness, !
point out to the Congress the pro-
found effect Of this fact upon our
national economy. 1t has contribut-
ed to the recent collapse of our
banking structure. 1t has accentu-
ated the stagnation Of the economic
life Of our people. 1t has added to
the ranks of the unemployed. Our
Governments house Is not in order
and for many reasons no effective
action has been taken to restore 1t
to order.

Brakes on the worlds flashing

steals, like some sneaking footpad,
in on a quoting scene. Then
as the sun gathers itself for head
long dip beyond the horizon, people
stop. a.. Cars desert the busy thor
oughfares, persons move more leis-
urely. :. A period for readjustment
to quiet oneself, twilight is not a
gay hour. 1t hangs in forbidding
shadows for those who fear the
coming of the night; it's solace to
those glad for the day that is over.
. It's sunset is its contribution
to the esthetic. Splashed with
gold and red that merges into a
burnt orange, it sets the rim of the
world on fire. It's brilliant light
halts for an instant, and ones eyes
raised level find the fiery patch
fading into turquoise. A tur-
quoise that is neither blue nor
green, but mysterious blend of the
two that seems transparent to some
thing beyond. . Higher up night
is Fastening in, the sky assumes it's
deep blue, a star or two will twin
kle shortly. . The blue-green
hangs hesitantly in the west, soon
to be driven scurrying to nowhere
by the coming night. :. Then all is
over. The gaety of night breaks
