ALBERTA OIL NEWS

Imperial Oil Co. appears to have good
prospects for a new oil field 25 miles
east Of vauxhall and north of Grassy
lake, in southern Alberta. The discovery
well has I400 feet Of IL gravity oil,
coming from the Madison lime at $3.50
feet. Location is LSD is 19-13-W4.
Hi-Test Petroleum No. in Taber
field, east of Lethbridge, has been
abandoned. 1t was 1400 feet south of
the Standard Oil S0O-bbl. well but was
dry. Thus far Taber has but two produc-
ing wells, the second having had an
initial of 40 barrels.
Import taxes on oil field equipment
shipped into Canada have been removed,
meaning saving of 90 per foot in Al
berta drilling and amounting to $4,000
per well in Turner Valley.
Davies Petroleum Co. is preparing to
drill three tests on 54,000-acre block
in the Athabaska area of northern Al
berta, 100 miles north of Edmonton, in
Twps. IS and 66, Rg. % and 23W4.
Production is expected in the Devonian,

Nations Sportsmen Get Graphic Picture
OF Maryland's Hunting and Fishing

1t isn't how big the hunting and
fishing grounds are, but how GOOD!
Take Maryland, for instance,
whose area of 1857 square miles
is less than one-fourth that of Penn
sylvania; yet Maryland boasts the
worlds largest fishing hole-Ches-
apeake Bay!
And, according to a feature ar
ticle in the December issue of Field
and Stream, hunters and fishermen
can find in Maryland today every
species of wild life found 300 years
ago by the first settlers, with the
single exception of the passenger
pigeon! Not only can they find
them-they can take them legally!
And because of the states COM
pact geography, hunter can shoot
ruffed grouse one hour and quail
the next. Devotees of Izaak Wal
ton can catch white marlin after
breakfast and brook trout before
dinner!

CORNERS AND CANYONS
By Frank Edwards Henckel

NEW YORK-Morning at nine by
the clock, and along Broadway to
where Wall street doth halt abashed
at sight of a temple-spire.
Thence into the thoroughfare of
once less amiable bulls and hears,
for talk with Mr.. Blumenthal, who
scriveneth the heavy press-talk for
men of large affairs.
From his offices on high floor,
in a noble white building hard by
the water, one of the finer views of
the harbor and many boats, mainly
barges and little tugs that did boot
and puff and pillow the bay with
amazing strength and zeal, and a
tall-sparred brig the only ship in
sight.
Stood long and wondered again at
the seeming smallness of Mr.. Bar
holdi's famous statue, when viewed
from SO great height.
Marvelled also at the clearness of
the air at so early an hour of the
day, whereby view Of the Goethals
bridge, arched like rainbow from
the Jersey shore. full fifteen miles
away.
Mused also, as the habit long hath
been, at the exceeding smallness of
man, of whose kind a multitude so
faA below. swarming all antishly on
The piers and river shore. each no
doubt with his own ambitious plans.
Thence up the town to Park ave-
nue. and the Ambassador hostelry,
where half an hour with Mr.. Kra-
mer, writer of books, and with
whom so good and pleasant converse
it were pain to rise and go; but
finally over sundry cross streets to
the Penn rail station, where oft ]
chance to meet and garrule with
folks from home.
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1943-11-25

And there in the main waiting
room scarce quarter hour till there
came Mr.. King, from the south and
all a-smile, under whom l once did
toll as a scrivener of the press, and
with whom an hour of talk on
things long forgot.
Then chance collision with a
friend from Baton Rouge, who both
waxed eloquent on the greatness
and fineness of his city and earnest
ly did swear he was returning there
most pronto.
For there, he did avow, a man
may walk as much as mile in safe
ty, and not be pushed upon and
slain by trucks and yellow cabs.
And besides, he did declare, there
are all too many people here mil
lions and millions of people, he pro-
foundry swore, and all wide-eyed
and wild.
Whereupon a man in livery did
come upon the floor and Justify an
nounce the near outgoing of a
southern train, and the gentleman
did rush for his portmanteau and
umbrella and fly madly backward
Thence home and back to hours
of labored scribling; and to bed on
stroke of twelve, with a book which

ME all believe IN democracy
w democracy operated through
representative government. Why
is It, then. that in land where
everybody proclaims his devotion
to it, representative government is
whitening before our eyes?
The bureaucrat is blamed for
this. But he is not the cause. He
is the effect. The seat Of the
trouble lies far deeper
Our whole political system is
based on the principle of local self
government. But two forces have
been destroying this principle.
One is the demand Of the people
for the federal government to In
tervene in problems Of every COM
munity and every class. The
other is the ever-growing practice
of passing all these problems on
to the government in Washington.
The last war gave this a big push.
The postwar dislocation hurried it.
The Great Depression raised it to
avalanche proportions. The pres
ent war is completing the job.
Every town and state. every trade
association and trade union, every
class and group and desperate mi
nority brings its problems to
Washington. And Washington is
gladly accepting that responsible
ity.
But Congress is made up solely
of mere human beings. And Nature
has not endowed any group of
human beings with the sweep and
grasp of intelligence necessary to
handle the multitude Of federal and
local problems dumped upon
Washington.
Not being able to handle the i'm
possible burden itself, Congress of
necessity creates bureaus and
passes on the overload to the
bureaucrats. BY bureaucrats ! do
not mean those government en-
ployes once called civil servants"
because they were employed to
serve" the government and ex-
ecute the laws of Congress. | re.
fer to the bureau chief and his
squadrons of counselors and econ
omists and specialists. | am not
criticizing them but the system.
They issue what are called "di-
rectives," which actually have the
force Of law. One bureaucrat in
the Securities and Exchange Com
mission said recently: 1--WE do
make the law. This order super
sedes any laws opposed to it,"
Actually the bulk of what in effect
are our general laws are now being
made not by Congress but by bu-
reaucracies.
This is not a new thing. 1t was
under way 80 years ago when /
entered Congress. l made a speech
in the House warning of it in 1928
and again in 1882 am not dis
cussing the concentration of fed
eral power which has been made
in order to fight the war. The
present picture is merely the nat
ural development Of our policies
over several decades. 1t is a pro-
cedure as old as tyranny. But it
cannot exist in a democracy, be-
cause where it exists government
inescapably ceases to be a de-
mocracy
The essence of democracy is that
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1943-11-25

laws shall be enacted by repre-
sentatives of the people, and that
all sides have a hearing. But laws
enacted by bureaucrats are fash
toned behind closed doors. The real
author is not known to the people.
He is appointed, not elected. Cen
orally the first the public knows
of his directives is when they are
proclaimed. The law, once thus
announced, is subject to frequent
and sometimes capricious amend
ment. The bureau enacts 1t, en-
forces 1t and sits as Judge in IN
terpreting it. Most of these Inn
perial bureaus are provided with
tribunals equipped as courts and
recognize multitudinous bar
which practices before them.
It is not easy to get law passed
by Congress. But the bureaucrat
can toss of directive while you
wait. The very facility with which
he legislates encourages the multi
plicity of laws. The fact that he
does not have to face constit-
uency makes him irresponsible to
the people in the performance OF
this, the highest function of SOW
ereignty.
The promoters of Capitalization
are more and more resorting to the
exercise Of another unlimited
power against which no constitu-
tional barrier will ever stand: the
control Of the purse strings. BY
making the units of state govern
ment financially dependent on the
federal government, that govern
ment is acquiring the power to
control the units Of state govern"
ment. When this is fully consum'
mated. the sovereignty of the state
governments will be liquidated.
This fob will have been done
with money sent by Washington in
the form of loans and gifts to
states, towns, school districts, in
dividual citizens. This money has
served to attach all these inter
ests directly to the central gov
eminent and make them subject to
its power.
But we are approaching the day
of reckoning. Up to now Wash
ington has been borrowing money
and scattering it among the states.
l do not refer to war activities but
to ordinary current government
activities. The federal government,
long before the preparation for
this war, was mortgaging the tax
paying ability of future genera
lions to pay current expenses. The
taxes to service these vast fed
eral operations and pay the in
terest on the debt must come out
of the same pockets from which
the states and cities must collect
their funds. The federal govern
ment has first call on these funds.
We are therefore moving rapidly
toward a condition where there
will not be enough left to run the
states.
In weakening the states we
weaken the whole fabric of free
government. The unacceptable price
Of free government is that we ex-
ercise it. The most destructive
force in the world is nonuse. If
we do not use our powers of self
government in the states We will
awake one day to find that self
aprinted from The Readers Diges

Don't Blame the Bureaucrat!

government has passed trrevocably
out of our hands.
Government is exercised best in
the local community. There the
problems are perceived with
greater clarity because they are
close to the people and on scale
within their grasp. The self-re-
lance of the individual, town and
state is being destroyed as they
are being relieved of the necessity
Of governing themselves. When
people stop thinking for them.
selves there is always someone
willing to step forward and do
their thinking for them.
What shall we do about it?
Change bureaucrats? Consolidate
bureaus? Abolish bureaus and turn
the whole intolerable load back to
Congress? None of these make
shifts touches the real problem.
1t is folly to talk about abolishing
bureaus as long as we continue to
pile on the central government
the problem of every state and
town and social group in the ma
ton. The men who are trying to
drive us toward government by
bureaucracy understand this. The
chief adviser of the National Re-
sources Planning Board, recently
abolished by Congress, prophesies
crisply:
Congress will surrender to the
Administration the power to tax.
.. . Congress will appropriate
huge sums of money; will sur
render its power of directing
when and how the money will
be spent.
Other extraordinary powers,
such as to effect great social re-
forms, will be delegated to the
Administration, which will retain
most, if not all, of it's wartime
powers.
This is precisely the bureau
cratic control we will have if we
persist in making Washington the
guide, philosopher, big brother,
supervisor and master of every ac-
tivity within our borders. The rem.
edy-and the only remedy-is to
send all these nonfederal func-
tons back where they belong: to
the states and the local communi-
ties, where they can be handled
upon a scale within the compre-
hension of the limited mind of
man.
Strangely, those in Washington
who fight for this new bureau
cratic central control call them.
selves progressives and those who
oppose them are branded as reac-
tionaries. Such is the power of
labels. We are grasping at ancient
evils, and call them progress.
This disease has been most de
vastating in Germany. In Imperial
Germany men already talked of
the tyranny of bureaucracy" The
republican government which sue.
ceeded the Kaiser greatly ex-
panded it. 1t reached its full
flower under Hitler. Indeed. Ma
tional Socialism may be described
as government by bureaucracy. If
we think Hitler's system is better
than ours we should have the hon
esty to say so instead of copyina
while we denounce it.
The states must resume the
status of responsible sovereign
agencies of general government or
democracy cannot live in America
