TASTES CHANGE, fortunately
and we are not surprised to hear
that this is true of our soldiers and
sailors in the far corners of the
globe. They have outgrown their
fondness for Western" films. saws
Bosley Crowther in the New York
Times. The good old rootin'- too
tin film in which the varmints are
always outsmarted and outshot bv
the dauntless hero" he says. does
not appeal TO men who have seen
real danger and hardship. Even
typical war films do not please
them much. THE run-of-mill films
are fashioned precisely as Wes-
terms are" says Crowther, with
heroes always doing the impossible
in a hail of inyincible steel. And
always the heroes clip the enemy
with one burst, while the enemies
always miss" AS another commen-
tator put it: 1.-The boys overseas
are not having any superman
stuff. They're wise to it now. They
know it's phony."
AS to what films the veterans
prefer. the answer is not hard to
find. They like pictures of attrac-
tive girls showing generous por-
tions of femininity, and they pre-
fer heroes who are sometimes moo
dy and who sometimes lose out.
For the boys on the fighting line,
he war has dissipated many illu-
;iOns.

BEWARE OF BUREAUCRACY

OurlhS the Elgnteentn century
centralized government admins
tration by bureaucratic agencies
reached absurd proportions in
France before it finally was over
thrown.
At that time, the bureaucrats re-
gulated the size of fishing boats sc
that too many fish would not be
marketed. Other regulations COW
cred the size of handkerchiefs, es-
tablished how wool should be
mixed, controlled the composition
of dyes and uniform procedures
for bleaching and finishing; bak-
ers were told what size their
loaves should be and what price
they might charge. According to
The Cambridge Modern History,
"edicts and regulations followed
one another by the score; methods
of manufacturing with detail as to
the size, color. and quality of man
ufactured articles were laid down."
harles Downer Hazen in
his The French Revolution puts it
even more strongly, 1.-The system
was stifling, crippling to industry,
destructive of the spirit of initia-
tive and invention"
Today, in our own country, there
is an alarming parallel to this
government by appointed agencies
rather than government by elected
representatives of the people. Our
democratic system of government
was founded upon three co-eQual
parts of the federal government,
executive and judicial. The execu-
tive branch, however, has grown
so large that the co-equal status of
governing power no longer exists.
For example, employees in Fed
Fral Executive Civil Service num-
bered less than 100000. and from
1921 through 1888. In 1884 they ex-
ceeded 100000, and then increased
each year until June 81, 1871 when
hey numbered ,35S,150-before
Pearl Harbor. The executive
branch of our federal government,
before the war, spent almost as
much ON publications and publicity
rs all the combined costs of both
he legislative and judicial branch
IS. Now the Office of Price Ad-
alone has issued five
lat volumes of regulations, cover
ms 1l,O0O,OOO words, from a staff
If 2.100 lawyers-al although the
anne job is covered in England
With legal staff of ten men.
During the war it may have been
necessary to centralize many gov
rnmental powers and establish .,
bureaus to more speed 4
ly execute the war effort. The t
alarming fact is that so much of
his trend was well under way be-
ore We entered the war. Perhaps
means that we must win a n
econd battle on the home front /
fter peace is declared aboard. y

ceiling prices on hogs weighing
more than 240 pounds will be re-
duced 75 cents per cwt. ON and
after May Is, 1914. No change will
be made in the ceiling prices of
hogs weighing 240 pounds or less.
The action will reduce the Chicago
ceiling prices on hogs weighing
more than 240 pounds to S14O0.
The decision to reduce the ceiling
prices of heavyweight hogs was
taken with concurrence of the
VIA, the WPB. and the Office of
Economic Sterilization, and is de-
signed to discourage the use of
corn and other essential grains in
bringing hogs up to heavy, un-
economical weights.

AFTER BILLIONS COME
TRILLIONS

In predicting that the national
debt limit will be raised, one COM
mentator says that next year the
national debt will reach $50 bill
ions of dollars or a Quarter of a
trillion."
1t wasn't too many years ago
that money was measured by mill
ions. Once the debt reached the
billions the nation gave up trying
to conceive the enormity of a bill
ion dollars. Now that the first
mention of "trillion" has been
made well, that's something for
Superman to toy with.
BY the way what comes after a
trillion?
Milford chronicle., 1944-05-26
REAL CAUSE FOR CONCERN

Public opinion polls show thai
the Federal taxes are two of the
chief worries of the United States
citizens on the home front.
In recent Gallup more than
5000 voters of the country repre-
senting all segments of American
life were surveyed on the question
they would ask, on subjects apart
from the war. if they could attend
one of President ROosevelt's press
conferences.
Typical of the questions these
voters would ask were How long
will we have to go on paying high
taxes? Why is so much money be-
ing wasted by our Government on
silly things that don't help the
war? How are We going to meet
all the national debt in the future?
Will the money we invest in this
war be paid back by the next gen.
Grafton? How much debt can this
country stand? With so much debt,
is our money going to be worth
much after the war;"
Voters have ample justification
for being deeply concerned about
taxes and the national debt. Four
years ago when the 10 billion
dollar annual budgets were pre-
sented to Congress by the Presi-
dent-as contrasted with a 100
billion war budget in 1944-this i'm
pressive illustration was used by
Larence Sullivan, author of The
Dead Hand of Bureaucracy:
"One needs whip his Imagination
to get a manageable mental pic
ture of a billion dollars. He may
visualize a man working for four
dollars per day. and then multiply
him by a thousand. That would
make $4,000 wages per day for the
group. If these men worked every
day, including Sundays and holi-
days, they would earn combined
wages of $1.46O.0OO in a year.
And if they remained on the job
steadily, with never a day off, for
6S4 years, plus 1863 days in the |
bS5th year. their total wages would |
equal $1-billion. That, in terms of .
human toll and sweat, is what
makes bureaucracy tick.
IF we now project the same
group of thousand men working
Every day for $3.50 years we begin
-c feel the weight of a $lO-billion
federal budget. (6S,5OO years for
$lOO-billiOn dollar udget.)
These are the ultimate realities of !
everyday economics which Presi-
lent Roosevelt apparently had in
mind when he said, in a campaign
address, at Pittsburg, Pa, on OctO-
Ier 10, 1882: Taxes are paid in
he sweat of every man who la
'ors. because they are a burden on
production and can be paid only
" production. If excessive, they
re reflected in idle factories, tax
old farms, and. hence, in hordes |
# the hungry tramping the streets
nd seeking jobs in vain. ;
"At another point in the same {
ddress, Mr.. Roosevelt restated the
irect restraint which burden
ONE taxes impose upon business I
nd employment. He said: 4 re- f
ard reduction in Federal spend t
lg as one of the most important t
'sues of this campaign. In NV f

GOVERNMENT BY DIRECTTyES


The government of the United
States has ceased to be a constitu-
tional government.
The theory that the government
at Washington is a government "of
the people, by the people" has been
abandoned.
The Constitution of the United
States proclaims in Article 1,
Section 1: "All legislative powers
herein granted shall be vested in a
Congress of the United States,
which shall conist of a Senate and
House of Representatives"
Article X of the Constitution
reads: THE powers not delegated
to the United States by COnstitu-
tion. nor prohibited by it to the
states. are reserved to the states
respectively, or to the people"
Why continue the sophistry that
this is a constitutional government
when the branch of it created to ex-
ecute the laws has usurped not
only the powers of the branch Gre
ated to make the laws but also
"the powers not delegated to the
United States" but reserved to the !
states respectively, or to the
people,?
There is no citizen of the United
States today who does not know
(even though he may fail to rec
ognize) that in every phase of his
daily existence he is governed
more intimately and vigorously by
the directives, mandates, and in
hibitions of executive orders than
by the laws constitutionally enact
ed by the Congress.
The food he eats, the clothing he
wears, the money he possesses, the
work he does. the pay he may re-
ceive, the manner in which he
nay travel, the business or occu-
patton in which he may engage,
he earnings on his savings, the
manner in which he may cut his
neat, the newspaper he reads. the
adiOs to which he listens, yea.
wen the size of the coffin in which
le may be buried are today gov
rned by executive order, and not

And what are executive orders?
-ouis Ludlow. Democratic Con- {
ressman from Indiana, answers

n the bureaus and are expression
f bureaucratic minds. They often

NEW YORK., Feb. 70. - R -
Governor Thomas E. Dewey de-
clared tonight that there were few

lnued new deal government"
Dewey, who has said he will not
be candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination but who
mas never closed the door to pos

addressed the 58th annual Lincoln
day dinner of the National Repub.
)ican club.
In MS first appearance before a
strictly political organization since
The last November state election
campaign, Dewey delivered one of
his severest criticisms of the ma
tlonal administration since he be-
: anne governor in 1913.
Other addresses at the dinner
including that Of Governor Walter
E. Edge of New Jersey, were
broadcast over local station WQXR
but Dewey's was not at his request,
the club said. Associates of the
governor said the request was
without political significance.
Dewey declared that on March
q. 1883 ''the first attempt to es.
tablish an American autocracy
took place as the result of the cleo.
ton Of what used to be known as
the democratic party" but he sale
tie people were finding now thai

said in his prepared address.
There is no American who has
The slightest doubt that we shall
