r R REASON
BY Clayton Rand

This shirt-sleeved democracy that is America is
nation without ruling castles or social classes.
ANY man willing to rise above the crowd can do
so II ne has the character, courage and capacity to
achieve it.
An effort is being made of late to subdivide our
people into conflicting classes
The great American idea of business is part
nership OF labor and capitafa neither of which can
prosper without the other. They hit their greatest
strides in cooperation
Any effort to destroy the American business
system with hymns of hate is political treason and
leads to commercial poverty and economic chaos

with the opening lines of the law, I

came upon them:

displacement of workers now known

employers will in some way have Ia

from the same source as previous
obstacles to Mr.. Roosevelt's plans,
from the Supreme Court.
Some years ago, Congress gave to
the Secretary Of Agriculture power
to fix maximum rates for commission
merchants. Under this power Secre-
tary Wallace fixed maximum rates for
certain commission merchants in Kan
sas City. The commission merchants
appealed to the courts. The Supreme
Court decided the case on the twenty
fifth of last month.
The court did not say whether the
rates were too high or too low; the
court said nothing whatever about
the rates. But the court found that
Secretary Wallace. before issuing the
order. had not given a sufficiently full
hearing to the citizens whom the order
affected. Mr. Wallace had merely re-
ceived reports from subordinates and,
on the basis of those reports mainly
had issued the order. In layman's
language Mr.. Wallace had acted as
an administrative government official
as 'bureaucrat" if you please And
now the court said that in such cases
Mr.. Wallace land other Government
officials must for the time bsing cease
to be Government officials and become
judges They must give as much con-
sideration to the citizen as to the Gov
ernment They must act judicially.
AS Mr.. Chief Justice Hughes put it:
The maintenance of proper stand
ards on the part OF administrative
agencies in the performance Of their
quasi judicial functions is of the high

ing agencies deemed to be necessary in

cepts of fair play"
