' OFFICEISIGLECTED Chairman of Trade Commis sion Is Playing Politics. PATRONAGE IS CONTROLLED w. J. Harris Abandon Desk and Affairs of Nation Wait While He Goes to Home State to Pick Candidate for Judgeship. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. July 21. While the United states Government Is relying heavily on the i ederal Trade Commission for accurate and complete information on which to base Federal action fixing the price or many leading commodities. such as coal and steel. Chairman W. J. Harris, of that Commission, is devot- ng a large part of his time seeking to control Federal patronage In Geor gta and neglecting official duties for which he is receiving a liberal salary from the United States Government. This fact lies behind the action of the Senate in rejecting two appoint ments made by the President to a va cant Federal Judgeship in Georgia, Mr. Harris- native state. On April 24 the Senate rejected the nomination of U. V. Whipple, who had been nominated on the recommendation of Mr. Harris, and only a few days ago rejected the nom ination of William E. Thomas, a sec ond Harris henchman, who had been nominated for the Judgeship. Desk Is Deserted. Mr. Harris, of the Trade Commission, his thirst for patronage, some weeks ago abandoned his desk In Washing ton the make a trip to Georgia to pick out a man for the Judgeship. He stayed so long, and the work of the Trade Commission became so congested, that his colleagues were compelled to telegraph him to return to Washington. He came, but brought with him the name of Mr. Thomas. which he carried to the White House promptly, and Mr. Thomas was nom inated. Mr. Harris Is a typical Southern poli tician. He was brought to Washington as Commissioner of the Census, and when the Trade Commission was creat ed was transferred to that body and later made its chairman. He Is at outs with the two Democratic Senators from Georgia. They are at outs with the President, and Mr. Harris, holding what s supposed to be a nonpolitical office. using that office to secure for him self an influence that constitutionally belongs to the Senators. Mr. Harris a regular and persistent caller at the White House, and how well he has the President's ear is attested by the fact that he has been able to name two men for the Georgia Judgeship over all men proposed by the Senators. Commission's Affairs Neglected. The country at large Is, of course. not Interested In a Georgia patronage row. but It Is interested and concerned n the fact that the chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, who is sup posed to be directing and making im portant investigations bearing on the cost of necessities of life and of com merce is frittering away his time In a fight with the Senators from his state over who shall control the states pat ronage. W hile Mr. Harris is grabbing at patronage he is not working on the business of the Trade Commission, and this neglect of the Commission's busi ness by its chairman is one reason why he Federal Trade Commission is not getting results. In addition to all this, there In in- ernal strife within the Commission; petty jealousies have, brought on a condition where co-operation is im possible, and the Commission, aside rom framing up a few pet theories. s doing only a portion of the work assigned it. Edward N. Hurley, ex- hairman of the Commission, resigned n disgust, because of the Inefficient methods used by his colleagues, and ince his retirement and since the death of Commissioner Parry the Trade Com mission has gone into a state closely approaching what Grover Cleveland would call Innocuous dessuetude.
