Byrd and King and Glass; that the president's bill threatens
important and vital agencies, like the civil service commis-
feion; and that it should be defeated or sharply amended. The
fact remains however that reorganization -of executive de-
partments is long overdue, that congress is notoriously un-
wUling to do the job of its own initiative owing to the power
of established bureaus. If congress defeats the present bill
then it shoud pass the Byrd bill, which carries out the recom-
mendations of the Brookings institution, and does promise
not disturb existing independent, commissions like the civil

From Other Papers
BALOXEY'S HOOEY
The Klamath Falls Boy Won
der takes advantage of the fact
that he has been indicted by a
grand jury ot Linn county to
say that it la a wicked political
plot by Wall Street "Interests
who have run this state for a
generation." Of course he knows
that is a lot of hooey, but the
grand jury might have known
he would take advantage of it
to try to make the public be
lieve he is being persecuted. We
know Linn county pretty well.
Her people are honest, law abid
ing citizens with no "interests"
connections. It has an honest
county government and an hon
est city government. Its citi
zens are not the kind who could
be induced to indict anybody for
any such reason as the Boy Won
der ascribes to them. His re
marks are an insult to the good
citizenship and the integrity of
Linn county people and the dis
trict attorney. Incidentally. If
Mr. Baloney gets the nomination,
it will be because the Portland
papers permit hin to use them
as a sound-off board. Corvallis

Ingalls Receives Call
Although the republican party
organization of Benton county
has paid a high and well-deserved
compliment to Claud E. In
galls by urging him to become a
candidate for the United States
senate, we wish they had turned
their attention to the rovernor
ship, where Mr. Ingalls could be
in a position to keep the legisla
ture in the straight ' and narrow
path of political rectitude.
Of the ability of the outspoken
editor of the Corvallis Gazette
Times for either post there is no
doubt. He would become a con
structive force for moderation
and sanity-in the senate, and a
worthy successor of Frederick
Steiwer. He would strergthen a
needful' opposition-to a top-heavy
majority and re-line the brakes
against one-man government.
Mr. Ingalls would do his own
thinking with the object of con
tributing to the country's good.
sna it would be a most excellent
development if those now aspir
ing should withdraw id his fa
for. He Is the only republican
we know of who might save the
state from Willis Mahoney.
As governor, however, Mr. In
galls could be of greater service
to his state. He has sound Judg
ment and administrative capac
ity of high order, lie Jsa stu
dent of economic problems, which
are so . Important in these diffi
cult times, and. his fet are
squarely on ' the ground. While
Mr. Ingalls is generally partisan-
minded, he is independent in
thought and action and he would
not lead the state on the troubled
seas of uncertainty. !
We believe he could accom
plish more : for the people of
Oregon at Salem that at the na
tional capital, but It he should
choose to run for. the senate, we
shall not hesitate to recommend
him on the basis tf trustworthi
ness and competency. McNary
and Ingalls would be a strong
and effective team In whom the
state would be proud. Oregon

President soose
velt presented an
ultlm a turn to
Dr. Morgan, the
chairman of the
T. V. A. board;
and ; there is a
certain similar
ity in the nature
of all three.
What Is I his
fantastic proce
dure going on In
Washington? I s
it a hearing, or another Russian
trial? And on what basis Is it be
ing held; anyhow?
It ought to be pointed out that
the Presidents bill tor the Reor
ganisation of the Executive haa
not yet passed. But the President
is acting as though it had. His
powers under the T. V. A. Act are
strictly limited. He can remove a
member of the Board from office
for only one reason as defined
in Section S of the Act. If he can
prove that in the appointment of
officials and the selection of em
ployees for the corporation (the
T. V. A.), any political qualifica
tions have been permitted or giv
en Consideration by any member
of the Board, the President can
remove the guilty member from
office.
Nobody has ever suggested for
a moment that Arthur Morgan.has
been guilty of any such misdemea
nor. Therefore the President has
no power to remove him and his
suggestion, now openly made,
that chairman Morgan resign is
shameless pressure.
This is the way the President
began his career. He forced Mr.
Humphreys of the Federal Trade
Commission out of office because
Mr. Humphreys' policy was not in
harmony with his own. He asked
for the resignation and Mr.3 Hum
phreys gave it, although he had
been appointed for a definite pe
riod of time, which had not elaps
ed. Mr. Humphreys died shortly
after, and his estate sued for his
pay for the duration of his unex
pired term, on the ground that the
President had no right to remove
him, but only Congress had that
right. And the Supreme Court by
unanimous decision upheld the
Humphreys' estate. In that deci
sion the Court said:
"Such , a body (independent
commissions such as the T. V. A.)
cannot, in any proper sense, be
characterized as an arm or an eye
of the Executive. Its duties are
performed without Executive
leave, and. in the contemplation of
the statute, must be free' from
Executive control." 295-U. S. 602.

Letters from
Statesman Readers
Advice to Republicans
To the Editor:
! I have noticed in the papers
that there have been some meet
ings held In different parts of
the state with the evident pur
pose of swinging the republican
support to Governor Martin, and
It seems . to me that would be
a very crazy and asinine, policy
because If the republican party
wants to finish committing sui
cide that, would just about cut
the last artery.
' Why is it that .he republican
party has to attach Itself to
some other party's candidates and
programs like the barnacles on
whale? Why don't they try a
new pair of flippers and see if
they can't swim by themselves
again? They would find them
selves In a new element because
the whole world is trying to
make changes, so naturally the
republican party will have - to
make changes to keep abreast or
the times.
In this day and age and espe
cially In our part of It, everyone
that can has joined the "Gimme
Gang" and it . isn't getting - us
anywhere: It's Just a bad habit
like a child sucking its thumb.
and it you want to wc n them
from this habit . you will hare
to go along with " them a little
to gain their confidence and wean
mem awav sraamur irenunc
it's an easy habit to learn and
a hard, one to quit.
: You can't create much enthn
siasm following rlonr behind
shouting, as the crowd is up In
front. .
It you want to keep the crowd
someone else, bring out jrome-
with you or win them from
thing new and better. Dont
swing In behind- the crowd and
tie onto a dud. And remember
organized labor and t h e . dirt
farmers; dont try to fight either
as they both control a lot' of
votes. j

Injured or unjustly deprived ot
any of Its rights."
This authorization does not-
eyen carry with it the -right to
make an Investigation Into the
procedure that was followed in
the Berry case, since a Federal
Commission prevented that steal.
It Is, however, of great Interest to
the people ot the United States to
know exactly what that procedure
waa. But it's not the President's
business to find out. It is the bus
iness of Congress.
- Under the terms of this author
ization, it is the business of the
President to investigate the ad
vantages given to the. Aluminum
Company and the Monsanto Com
pany who. It is alleged, are get
ting power at one-half the operat
ing cost. It is also his business to
investigate the contracts made
with the Central Arkansas Com
pany. But it is not his business to
unroll the whole matter and pro
cedure of. T. V. A. administration,
which is the crux of the issue. Nor
does the Act provide that the
President can hold a member of
the Board "guilty of contumacy"
as the President decreed Mr. Mor
gan to be yesterday.
Contumacy is not yet a crime in
the United States.
a a
The Congress of the United
States and Congress alone can
clear up the questions which are
bothering the people ot the United
States, whose money Is invested
in the T. V. A. Congress ought to
raise the question under what
right Mr. Lilientbal is negotiating
with Mr. Wendell Willkie to pur
chase the Commonwealth and
Southern Corporation and thus
socialize the power business in the
Tennessee Valley.
The T. V. A. Board is specific
ally authorized by the Act No.
17-73d Congress (H. R. 5081)
to do certain things. It Is, for in
stance, authorized to manufacture
and sell fertilizer and to "produce,
distribute and sell electric power,
as herein particularly specified."
But nowhere in the entire Act.
which specif Ically gives the Board
the right to rjurchase and con- S
demn lands for the construction
of dams, and to construct trans-'
mission lines to farms and villages
that are not otherwise supplied
with electricity at reasonable
rates, and to enter into contracts
with other power systems for the
mutual exchange of unused excess
power upon suitable terms in all
the fifteen closely printed pages
of this Act carefully defining the
powers of the Board, there is not
one word that gives the Board or
any , member of It the power to
buy out private utility companies
with the . money of the United
States taxpayers. Not one word. I
am not a lawyer, but if Mr. Lil
ienthal in negotiating with Mr.
Willkie, is not preparing outrage
ously to exceed his powers, then
I am an Illiterate. -
a a a
.The issue is not whether it is
desirable or not to. have public
ownership of power in the Ten-'
nessee Valley. That Is another
matter altogether. The issue Is
precisely what Arthur Morgan has
repeatedly said it was: "Honesty,
openness, decency, and fairness in
government."
If the Congress of the United
States wants to nationalize power
in the Tennessee Valley, it can do
so, either by passing a new hat, or
by amending the T. V. A. act. And
it can empower Mr. Lilienthal to
negotiate with that end in view.
The whole point is that it has not
so empowered him, and Mr. Lil
ienthal Is therefore preparing to
legislate for the people of the
United States, all on his own. pre
sumably with the backing of the
President. What kind of govern
ment is this, anyway?
I hope Arthur Morgan's heart
holds out He is a sick man. He
has recently had very bad pneumo
nia, and I understand that his
heart has been seriously weaken
ed. It is a hard thing for a man
who, his whole life long, has de
served nothing but well ot Tils
country, who has made great
areas of it blossom like the rose,
and who has given up a successful
private life, to enter the public
service at far less remuneration .
than he can earn privately to be
subjected to the kind of inquisi
tion that went oh yesterday.
Chairman Morgan is absolutely
right. The President Is not a fact
finding body. The truth about the
issues he has raised eannot be
found out in a quadrangular con
versation. They can only be con
fused, and Mr. Arthur Morgan
can be railroaded,
And if he is. what happens to
the whole conception of civil ser
vice in this country?
