THEY FEAR CONGRESSIONAL CONTROL
Last April one of the press associations put out this news
report:
Wholesale amputation of Government agencies with a "bush
hx or a meat cleaver" was recommended today by Controller
General Lindsay C. Warren.
Testifying beore a Senate Banking and Currency Subcom
mittee in favor of a bill to bring all Government corporations
under the financial control of Congress, Mr. Warren said:
"If the present trend of creating Government corporations
continues or is not curbed, we will soon have a Government by
Government corporations."
Asserting there now are 101 Government corporations, Mr.
Warren said:
"They are largely Independent of congressional control and
free from accountability to the Executive. This thing we call
Government has reached gargantuan proportions and is
sprawled all over the lot.
"It has become greater than Congress, Its creator, and at
times arrogantly snaps its fingers in the face of Congress.
"The most necessary thing I know of today along govern
mental lines is a thoroughgoing reorganization of the executive
branch of Government. It should be done scientifically.
"But once the decision Is made, then a bush-ax or a meat
cleaver should be used."

after the disclosure; in the hearings on the divorce of the
RFC from the Commerce department, of the amount of gov
ernment business being done by these corporations without
any sort of congressional control. Universally, students of
government and all interested in federal economies as a
means of reducing the government expenses and the tax
payer load expressed approval.
Valley authority proponents, however, do not like the
idea. An important ieaiure oi ine uumuruy uius is mu
permission given the authority corporation managers to
spend, without reefrence to congress, the funds that come
into their hands. They call this decentralization. And they
object to congressional control.
Thus we find Senator Mitchell, of Washington, author
of the Columbia valley authority bill, protesting the Byrd
Butler bill "which provides that all Government corporations
. place their funds in the Treasury and depend upon Congres
sional appropriation for all funds expended." Senator
Mitchell wants his CVA to operate, financially, without re
gard to congress. '
The Wenatchee World, supporter of the CVA proposal,
calls the Byrd-Butler bill "one of the sly moves intended to
nullify the TVA as well as future authorities." The World,
by the same 'token, would find Controller General Warren's
recommendation "a sly move" against the authorities.
Actually, of course, the Warren recommendation as well
as the bill the Wenatchee paper' opposes are moves to bring
government back to congress and to reduce government
spending. If, in doing these things, the authority idea has
ground cut out from under then there is so much more evi
dence that the authority plan is bad, . . '

To the Editor: 1
After 13 long and prosperous
years of democratic administra

opportunity to exploit the renown
which had been spurred to Intent !'?' ,1";, h,,' Hoover, that flop

cutem." It was to Import into uitweii us i nave a very
Great Britain furs and skins
which were to be obtained by
nanrr irom me Indians of a vast
portion of the present Stijte of
Missouri, a distance that any mo
torist could makke today in three
and a half hours without exceed
ing the speed limit and there they
killed three bears. Two days
later they passed Arrow Rock, a
formation irom- which Indians
obtained material for arrow
heads. On June 1 they camped
with a St. Louis bound party of
traders and engaged an old
Frenchman named Dorion to join
them to act as interpreter when
they reached the Sioux nation.
They passed the spot where Fort
Osage was soon to become im
portant and at the present site
of Kansas City they noted paro
quets. Parrots as well as paro
quets were found in that vicinity
in the early days.
Both of the Captains had been
instructed to keep journals
wherein they were to enter the
distances and courses travelled
each day and to record events In
diary form. They described the
country, commented on the flora:
and fauna, kept account of the
temperature ana weather, in
short wrote a comprehensive
dally report. Their spelling and
punctuation were hardly up to
Harvard standards but it was ask
too much for men of the frontier
to sit down In a crude camp at
the end of a hard day and write
polished English. The1 men were
encouraged to keep journals, too.
Seven of them did.
By July 4th they had reached
the present site of Atchlnson,
Kansas, where they camped alter
being lucky in making fifteen!
miles by sail. Sergeant Floyd's
diary states that they camped on
the Indepondondonco Day at "one
of the Butifules Prairies I ever
saw Open and butifulley Divided
with Hills ami vallles all present
ing themselves." It gives you the
idea even If the spelling and punc
tuation are a trifle sketchy.
The country was full of game
deer, turkeys, geese, with new
varieties appearing as they pro
gressed. They were Just two
months out of St. Louis when
they saw their first elk at a
point about seventy-five miles
south of where Omaha now
stands. A month later Sergeant
Floyd's journal says, "Capt. Clark
and 10. of his men and mySelf
went to the Malta's (Omaha's)
Creek a fishen and Caut 300 and
17 fish of Dlfernt Coindes." On
the following day he wrote "Capt
I.ewls and 12 of his men went to
the Creek a fishen Caut 70!) fish

That is a lot of fish of any
'Ooindo'. When they reached the
Dakota country they found huf
