GRAND LEDGE, Mich, Aug. g.
-Michigan's crusading Governor
Luren D. Dickinson, broadened his
war against sin yesterday to in
clude bridge parties at which prizes
are awarded.
The 80-year-old executive, speak
ing at memorial services for the late
Gov. Frank D. Fitzgerald, whom he
succeeded, said he felt the urge to
win prizes at bridge sometimes led
young persons to gambling.
The criminal" he said, has to
start somewhere. He may start at
a bridge game, and the next thing
you know he is after something of

For example, Mr.. Andrews, wage
hour administrative agent of our
law-making body, Congress, an
nounces that he has reversed him
self IN exempting from the Federal
law those employees who receive a
monthly salary of 5000 or more.
Here is placed in the hands of
one man the power to compel citi-
zens to work as he prescribes, the

He has the power, as his mind may
change overnight. to single out this
citizen for one kind of treatment, to
favor that citizen at the expense of
the other.

obligations, rules. In this case Mr..
Andrews admits he is rewarding a

He submits, according to newspa-

be unethical for me to press for
that amendment if they object to

Government by Men.
This example of government by
men is not used here because it is
the exception, or because the deci-
sion of Mr.. Andrews needs particu-
lar attention. 1t is used, rather, be-
cause it is typical of the tremen-
dous change which has taken place
in our American way of doing
things. 1t is typical of the method
we now employ to make the law of

Of the administrative laws" under
which citizens now live are prob
ably inspired, if not by outright
favoritism, by whim or fancy or
preconceived likes or dislikes of in
dividuals, groups or PHILOSOPHERS
but not so openly admitted.
Every business venture is specu-
lation. The farmer speculates upon
the weather, the retailer takes a
chance when he stocks his shelves,
the foreign trader upon wars and
pestilence abroad, the manufac-
turer upon the changing moods and
habits Of his customers.
A successful businessman was
once described, tersely and truth
fully: "On a clear day he can see
five years ahead"
An automobile driver speeds UP
when he can see far down the road.
Fogs, uncertainty of route, slow
him up.
Bewildered Business.
In the more than Is years Of daily
contact with enterprisers, men who
dare to risk their energies and say
ings-and other peoples savings-I
have not known them so bewil-
dered as to the road ahead. Most
OF this Is due to the lack of a legis-
lative chart, prepared in detail by
Congress, as formerly. An admin
istrator, often unknown, hidden
away in a bureau, today has power
to change the rules and throw q
monkey-Wrench into a well-consid-
cred plan of business development.
The development of this invisible
government was described some
years ago by Chief Justice Hughes.
He said:
The making of regulations is.
OF course, essentially legislative
in character, for they set forth
what the citizen may and may
not do. We are thus confronted
with the distinctive development
OF our era, that the activities of
the people are largely controlled
by Government bureau, in State
and Nation.
The most convincing proof of the
accuracy of this statement was the
circumstance under which it was
made. There are 4,712 lawyers Ii
censed to practice before the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, and
Justice Hughes was addressing their
annual dinner.
The American Bar Association
found that in 149 instances a per-
NIT or license bearing the seal of an
administrative agency is a prereuui-
Slte 1or carrying on business or
some other form of activity.
Justice Cardozo observed in the
case of the N. I. r. A. that such
legislation allowed "a rowing COM
mission to inquire into evils and
upon discovery to correct them"

who sets up machinery by which
citizens can trade their commodi-
ties, labor and services is now under
Federal and State surveillance, with
the rules unknown.
The latest bill by Senator OMa-
honey caps the climax. Beyond this
there is nothing. He would fine,
imprison and debar a citizen from
business life if the company of
which he is a director is found
guilty of restraining trade, the def
milton Of which has never been
made by Congress or the Depart
ment of Justice or the Federal
Trade Commission. Can anything
be devised that would be a greater

Where the Money Goes,

The money cost of this Congress
is appalling. Add the appropria-
tlons OF cities and States and you
get a sum equal to the income of
all the States west of the Mississippi,
sum equal to nearly one third of
our total earnings.
But the money cost, terrifying as
1t is, is not so great an obstacle to
American enterprise as what Is be-
