der the department Of agriculture
was the result of the insistence by
farmers that agriculture be recog-
nized and assisted.
The second revolution, the de-
mands of which brought about addi-
tional federal activity, according to
Bingham, was the technical revo-
luton, another name for the indus
trial revolution which has made
mass production and all the won
ders Of the machine age possible.
Billion-dollar corporations required
some government control; various
industries. notably those producing
and using the automobile and the
airplane called for highway and sky
way encouragement, regulation and
guidance. The huge department Of
commerce with its many activities
conducted to aid business became
a separate entity in. 1908 and has
grown steadily since.
And right here we might assert
that the common man, and, II you
will, the less common man, worker,
farmer, artisan, executive or entire
preneur, although he joins merrily
in the chorus denouncing the
bureaucrats in general, doesn't want
the particular bureaucrat who is
ready to help his particular inter-
est, disturbed. If he does not
actually demand the services of
such a bureaucrat, he may create a
situation which his competitor, or
those who may become his victim,
insist must be controlled by the gov
eminent.
Of course, Mr.. Bingham's answer
to all this is that growing ex-
pansion of governmental powers is
all right, so long as it is self-govern-
ment. Without debating that ques-
ton let's see exactly how badly the
bureaucrat is really hated.
But you will find that there are
bureaucrats and bureaucrats.
You will find no complaint about
the civil servant who carries out the

COP Has Some Kind
Words for Bureaus

Federal responsibility (regard-
ing agricultural should be directed
to such economic sterilization
through disposition Of surpluses, as
surance of fair market prices. -"
Who says this? The 26 Republican
governors assembled in st. Louis
early this month to back Mr..
Dewey's presidential campaign.
They represented, we opine, both
the common man" and likewise,
the uncommon man."
And If you want further support
for Mr.. Bingham's thesis that the
leaders in the world Of technology,
the men who own the machines and
supervise their operation. like some
of the bureaucrats, note the state
ment from authentic sources that
after the war industry Is going to
encourage the perpetuation of some
of the functions Of the OPA and the
WPB because 1t is thought they can
help stabilize industry.
On the other side of the medal,
again, just to preserve nice bal
ance, what about the CT Bill Of
Rights? That law puts into the
hands of the federal government

welfare program ever framed. I
take it that high, low and middle

unanimously by congress.
So it goes.
We can boil down the debate In
congress over unemployment insur-
ance and the effort to put the ad-
ministration Of the payments into
the hands of the states. into much
more immediate and practical ques-
ton than the broad principle of
states rights, GENERALIZATION Of gov
eminent or the growth of bureauc-
racy It is a simple matter here
of whether the administration (any

words, who gets the political sup
port in return?

Revolt of Common Man.
Encourages Bureaucracy

The first of the revolutions he
names, and one of those which
has encouraged bureaucracy and in
creased the demands on the fed
eral government manpower, is the
''revolt of the common man." Of
course, that revolt has been going
on Justify with the start it got at the
barricades in Paris and the events
which occurred between Lexington
and Yorktown, but the depression of
1929 moved it ahead quite a peg in
this country, to say nothing of what
happened after World War I all over
the world, including the birth Of
communism, fascisn, and all their
freak off-shoots.
Bingham says it was the call of
the common man for social and eco
nomic security which was one of the
two chief causes Of the growing cen
tralization of government. He cites
as two examples, the labor group
which demanded that their interests
be looked after, and the farmers.
(The labor department, which had
been a part of the department of
commerce since 1908, was created
a separate unit in 1879 Bingham

The much-mooted question OF
states rights as against the over
Capitalization of government In
which is Jumped neatly
into the one word bureaucracy" -
Is due for a thorough airing in the
coming political campaign.
The recent debate in the senate
over reconversion, especially in the
contest over whether the federal
government should administer the
unemployment payments during the
change-over from war production to
civilian production, is good ex-
ample.
There will be much sound and
fury, much laundering in the index
on this subject. Little will be found
to have been accomplished when the
dust settles. For in this question we
behold an interesting paradox. New
Dealers as well as Republicans, left
wingers as well as right-wingers, de-
plore the growing Capitalization OF
power in the federal government as
q threat to democracy. And yet, all
of them, when they sit down to look
at the facts, admit privately that
there is little or no chance of check
ing this: trend.
The very groups which oppose the
tendency toward the creation OF
more federal machinery and de-
nounce the bureaucrats the loudest,
are insistent that enough Of the
bureaucrats who handle their spe.
cial interests be spared whenever
the axe threatens to fall.
1t is upon this little inconsistency
that President Roosevelt always
hangs his rebuttal whenever Sena-
tor Byrd and other critics of his law
ish government spending call for
reduction Of the government pay
roll.
According to Alfred Bingham who
has written a book called "The
Practice of Idealism," which you
ought to read whether you can agree
with it or not, the trend toward
bureaucracy is due largely to two
Of five revolutions which he says
are going on now.
Bingham says that revolution re-
suits from the pent-up pressure OF
delayed social change" He believes
that, like water-power, it can
''either sweep in a destructive food
over peaceful cities and FARMS" or
it can be controlled and turned to
beneficial use.
