The Political Mill
Hatch Presses Bill to End Political Pressure
On Voters by Federal Machine

Of the section quoted to prevent a
Federal employe from running for
office himself, if he chooses, al
though there might be some ques-
tion as to whether he could continue
in his Federal Office while so doing.
The New Deal candidate in Georgia,
against Senator George, last sum-
mer was United States Attorney
Camp. Camp kept right along in
his office while he was running for
the Democratic senatorial nomina-
ton, tantamount to election in
Georgia.
The first section of the Hatch
bill provides that it shall be unlaw-
ful for any person to 'intimidate,
threaten or coerce, any other per-
son for the purpose of interfering
with the right of such other person
to vote, or to vote as he may choose
or OF causing such other person to
vote for, or not to vote for" any
candidate for Federal Office. This
is far-reaching proposition, and
IS not aimed alone at employees and
officials OF the Federal Govern
ment. 1t applies alike to officials
and employees of State governments,
to employers of labor and to men,
berS OF labor organizations, as well
AS to the private citizen and the
unorganized laborer.
Imposes Severe Penalties.
Penalties for violation of the pro-
posed act are severe. For violations
are held to be felonies, and fines of
not more than $1,000 or imprison-
ment for not more than a year, or
both, are the penalties for guilty
parties.
The underlying purpose of the
bill is to prevent any administra-
ton or any elective Federal officer,
from perpetuatin itself or himself
in Office through the use of influ-
ence or money derived from the
Federal treasury-in fact, the money
taken from the people through
taxa ton. 1t is quite clear that if
such "pernicious political activi-
ties" may be INDUCED in freely,
free government is out of the WIN
dow. Not only did the Senate In
vestjgating Committee last sum-
mer find that the w. P. A. was
being used for political purposes,
but it found also that Federal Of
flcials, in the postal and internal
revenue services-and in other
services-Were engaged in political
activities that seemed to the COM
mittee entirely improper.
The time has come to call a halt
to this kind of thing, in the opinion
of a large number of members of
Congress, as well as of the run of
the mine voter.

What
They Do
Will Hoys, After
Snow White,' Now
Believes in Fairies
By LEMUEL F. PARTON.

Just year ago Will H. Hays noted
a possibly regrettable tendency Of
the movies toward "escapism." This
led to suggestions that he was sue
cumbing to the verbal entertainments
of the Hollywood intelligentsia.
That all blew over. but now Mr..
Hays frankly proclaims himself
eudemonist. Our somewhat con-
servative dictionary is a bit vague
about it, but, in his rough outlines,
a eudemonist seems to be one who
believes in fairies.
In his annual report as president
of the Motion Picture Producers e.
Distributors of America, Mr.. Hays
cited with satisfaction the record
box-office success of Snow White
and the Seven Dwarfs," and is happy
that there are still a number Of
eudemonists left in the world"
There is no disparaging or invidious
reference to non-eudemonists, but,
since Mr. Hays also reports with
qualification that there are no 'isn1s"
and no social significance" in Snow
White" it is perhaps fair inference
that such black witchery Is the
dramatic antithesis.
| Practicing law in Sullivan, Ind,
the homespun, Sagacious Mr.. Hays
was rising young Republican poll
tician and a Presbyterian elder, one
of the deftest inner-circle techni-
clans Of the Indiana party tourna-
ments, where professional standards
and scoring are high. That led him
inevitably to what statesmen of his
earlier day used to call political
preferment," and, as Postmaster
General in President Harding's cab
met, he exercised political power Of
wide range and penetration.
For II years now he has headed
the moving picture industry. He
doesn't like to be called "czar," pre-
ferring just plain Bill" if there Is
any call for an informal salutation.
In his county seat town he in
herited his fathers land-law busi-
ness. A fragile man, with a slight
limp and outstanding ears, he has
the mannerisms of the country law
yer, and he wins over opposition, as
he used to win juries. with a VIM
some and disarming smile.
Sullivan, Ind, is still home base
for Mr.. Hays, and he is the towns
favorite son inspite of his philo-
logical fareup.
