PRACTICAL POLITICS Senator Borah sees a cause-and-effect relationship between the spread of bureaucracy in federal, state, and municipal government and the increasing cost of government. He be lieves the only way to deflate the public budgets is by abolish ing unnecessary governmental agencies and releasing the surplus jobholders. The taxpayers are carrying along thousands of jobholders who are tax-eaters rather than public sen-ants, but getting rid of them is more difficult than finding places for more of their kind. Were the gentleman from Idaho to imitate the St Patrick stunt by chasing all the collectors of political debts away from the public trough, the presidency with n perpetual tenure might be his. But the public would be safe in making him such a rash, un-Washingtonian promisi Government by commission is blamed by the senator for the multiplicity of public agencies and agents, but the tax payers are disposed to place the original guilt upon congress, which makes Mr. Borah a co-defendant. There are con gressmen, however, who dare to place the resoponsibility upon the voters themselves. i It is certain that public demand provided the seed from which most government departments, bureaus and commis sions have sprung, and the fact that the demand has usually come from organized minorities does not acquit the people. Congress is a body of politicians, each trying to be re-elected by pleasing the constituent back home, and succeeding more or less by heeding the demands of said constituents. COMMERCIALIZING SCIENCE Volta invents the electric cell and for the first time gen erates a continuous electric current. Faraday discovers in duction, and Gramme, Siemens, and Edison apply the dis covery in the building of generators and motors. Maxwell mathematically predicts Use passible existence of long, in visible waves in the ether, and Hertz later produces them in his laboratory- Marconi then sees their possibilities and Yadio is born. Sir Humphrey Davy produces sodium with the aid of electric current, and the great electro-chemical industry at Niagara Falls follows a century later.
