REP. T.. ID. WILEY FLAYS
NEW DEAL JOB FAILURE

Mr.. Wiley criticized President
Roosevelt for allowing the govern
ment to continue to dominate and
regulate the Lives and affairs OF
our people to the remOtest degree
despite the fact that every citi-
zen takes pride in the sense OF
freedom which our government is
supposed to give him."
He said that the growth of fed
eral power. the multiplying of de-
partments and bureaus of govern
ment. the issuing of thousands OF
orders. executive and departmental.
the issuance of rules and directives,
all of these have taken us farther
and farther away from govern
ment under law which We have all
been taught to believe is America. "
Dewey Is Praised
The congressman indicated the
present national administration for
openly fostering serious differ
ences among the people of the Uni
ted States" Then. praising Cover
nor Thomas E. Dewey, of New York
Republican presidential candi-
date for his forward looking and
confident approach to our national
problems" Mr.. Wiley said:
I'VE need an administration in
this country that will speak for
all the people and for the inter-
ests of all the people and will not
divide us by it's policies into war
ring and hostile groups. Such an
administration has been promised
by the election of Governor Dewey
to the presidency of the United
States. He is for all America and
sees in the future a program that
we have never been able to attain
in the past"
Another issue developed by Mr..
Wiley was President Roosevelt's
"unwillingness to cooperate with
the other coordinate branches
which comprise. under the COnsti-
tuition, the Government of the Uni
ted States. He has sought to dom
mate the judicial branch and has
done so through the appointing
power which time has given him.
Congress Insists on Rights
For years under his administra-
ton we heard of the must legis-
lation which the members of Con-
gress were directed to enact with
out change. II was not until the
election of the 18th Congress in
the fall of 1912 that men were
elected who are not only Ameri-
cans. who are not only loyal to our
country in every way, who are de-
termined that supplies be furnish
ed to our armed forces. who are
anxious for the conclusion of just
peace arrangements, but who as
direct Representatives of all the peo-
pie also insisted upon their rights
as a coordinate branch of the gov
eminent to have some voice in leg
station.
Even members of the majority
party have rebelled at last against
he dictatiOn and the dominance ex-
srcised over them for a period of
years."
In summing up, Representative .
Wiley described the coming cleo I
ion as the most vital since the .
civil War. By it," he continued.
we are to determine % whether
powers of government are to be
given back to the people or the
itates by-passed and often ignOr-
ID; (2) whether bureaus and de-
Dartments are to continue to null
iply. often with overlapping au-
hority and unnecessary employees.
80 Whether some consideration
hould be given to the question of
waste and retrenchment; (4) whe-
her the national debt should be
a matter of grave con-
ern as it approaches the unbe-
ievable sum of 300 billions of dol
ars or a mortgage upon every fam
ly in our country of about $500;
50 whether RECOMMENDATION shall be
increased or shall be diminished,
nd 90 whether we prefer to live
nder our Constitution and the
avs enacted by the representatives
re elect or whether we are to be
overned by fiat and edict and di-
ective."
