ney General JdckSOnS analysis OF
the Logan Walter bill as made
public at the White House:
December II, 1910.
The President,
The White House.
My Dear Mr.. President:
In accordance with your request
for analysis of the administrative
agencies bill (H. R. 6324, now be-
fore you, omit many objections
urged by the agencies affected to
point out only its major innova-
tions and their consequences.
Effect on the National Defense
Program.
The bill evidences on its face, and
its legislative history shows. that
Congress recognized its provisions
to be inappropriate if applied to
agencies engaged in the defense
program. Since the effect of the
bill is to delay decisions and rulings
pending hearings and to subject
them to judicial review, its effect
on defense activities wherever they
are subject to it would be an in
creased delay and uncertainty.
In recognition of this, the bill ex-
cepts "the military or naval estab-
lishments, including the Council of
National Defense and the Advisory
Commission thereto, the Priorities
Board and any other agency or
authority hereafter created to ex-
pedite military and naval defense" ="
Its evident purpose to protect the
national defense, however, fails be-
cause the fact was overlooked that
agencies not excepted by name and
not part of the military or naval
establishments and not Thereafter
created perform some of our most
important defense functions and
they would be severely handicapped
were the bill to become law.
For example, the Maritime Com
mission is not exempt The Mari
time Commission has important de-
fense functions. Almost every phase
of its activities under the Merchant
Marine Act of 1886 is of primary
concern to the defense effort-the
building of merchant ships capable
of serving as naval and military
auXiliaries, the determination of es-
septial routes for maintaining the
flow of foreign commerce, the trans
portation of strategic and critical
material, and the training of an
efficient citizen personnel to man
the vessels of the merchant marine.
1t makes general regulations relat-
ing to construction and operating
differentials, and pertaining to the
service, and In event of national
emergency or war 1t has the power
to requisition vessels. All of these
would be exercised subject to the
provisions of this act, if it becomes
law.
The Department of Commerce is
included in this bill. 1t too has i'm
portant functions affecting national
defense. The ability in an emer-
gency, Immediately and without no.
tice or public hearing, to issue and
to amend regulations, has been a
most effective means of providing
for the enforcement of the various
neutrality acts. For example, it
was possible, within a few hours
after the issuance by the President
of proclamations making the pro-
visions of the Neutrality Act OF
1880 effective, to issue regulations

By LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

To many nature lovers, especially
those interested in wild flowers, the
Joe-Pye weed is looked upon as a
very handsome plant, to be seen IN
the autumn in the moist meadows,
damp woods and thickets. 1t Is
sturdy, towering far above most OF
its neighbors. Further, its lovely
pinkish-purple flowers, with their
dainty fragrance, add to Its charm
The Joe-Pyes have Travelled from
New Brunswick to Manitoba, SOUTH
ward to Florida and Texas. This
means the plant has managed to
perfect plans for the prosperity OF
the family.
: One of the interesting things about
wild flowers is their many names.
We find that some call this plant, or
properly speaking, weed, the truni-
petweed, feverwood, queen-of-the-
meadow, kidneyroot and purple
.boneset.
q It's favorite name. Joe-Pye, is after
an Indian herb doctor" or "medi-
cine man" of New England. who
earned fame and gratitude. as we'll
as fortune, by curing patients
afflicted with typhus fever and other
such affections with tea and bitter
decoctions made from this herb.
Whether this plant has the medicinal
properties claimed for it at the time
when Joe-Pye made some remark
able cures, its woody flbrous, black
roots are gathered in the autumn
and most carefully dried before
sending them to the drug market,
where they sell for 3 to cents a
pound.
To the entomologist the Joe-Pye
plant offers an opportunity to study
at first hand and while standing up,
a fine group of insects which have
come in response to its fragrant IN
vitation.
The butterfly collector will have
many lovely specimens in his net
after a visit to the plant in Septem-
ber. During August the first flowers
are in bloom, and it continues to
develop vigorous clusters of lovely,
soft. fringy blossoms. They may be
q lavender pink or dull magenta.
The numerous tubular f1orets are
slightly fragrant. They are found
at the tip of the stem in loose, COM
pound clusters. The stems of the
plant are often 10 feet high, either
purple or green, usually branching
toward the top, and leafy. These
leaves are in whorls of three to six,
most of time four, oval to lance
shaped, thin, tough and saw-toothed'
. The -tongued bees and flies
manage to sip nectar from the
smallest flowers, but the butterfly,
equipped with a zipper-tongue OF
great length, dimes, or rather drinks
from the deep flowers with ease.
Each tiny foret is especially
. planned to make the guest either
carry away or bring with her the
priceless pollen. The spreading
style branches which fringe each
small flower are supplied with hairs
for over half their length, so the
visitor coming for refre5hment must
come in contact with this pollen.
Later the lower parts of the style
