"Without or with offense to friends of foes I sketch your world exactly as it goes." Byron The Extra Session Failure Adjournment of the Senate without having passed the tariff bill, for which it was called into existence, marks the failure of President Hoover as a political leader, just as his rounding up the leaders of industry for a program of indus trial and building expansion, marks his success as a business executive. For the failure of the tariff bill, Jlr. Hoover tias only himself to blnme. With the prestige of a record popular majority, with a Republican majority of both houses of Con gress, he was unable to force through any tariff program. This was because of his failure to lead. Asking a limited revision that would relieve agriculture and distressed Industry, the President permitted the House, which he absolutely controlled, to bring in a bill for a general revision of all schedules, which would further enrich already prosperous industry. He permitted the Republican Senate committee to further revise it by an extension of special fa- vors to special interests. Only twice has the President spoken on the tariff bill, once on retaining the flexible provisons, and once to scold the Senate for not rushing the bill through in two weeks time. Never has he protested unlimited revision or made his position known, even to party leaders. As a consequence or Jack of leadership, his party in the Senate has been split into three contending factions each politically and personally hostile. This result was predicted before his election, for Mr, Hoover's training has been that of the autocrat accustomed to giving orders and being obeyed because of his authority and not that of the democratic leader who achieves his power through knowledge of men and their consent. Consequently he is in his element when as President, he orders business men about, but out of his element when he attempts to lead instead of command. He only antagonizes without accomp lishment.

SINCLAIR SINCLAIR JOLLY AFTER FREEDOM ("Continued from pane 1 Tacoma's Troubles Tacoma has long been portrayed as the ideal city for having satisfactorily and efficiently solved her power and light problems, through municipal ownership and thereby provided the consumer with the lowest rates on the coast hence the news that there is a serious shortage of power, and that the use of power has had to be seriously curtailed with many of the streets plunged into darkness, comes as a shock. To solve the emergency, the United States Navy has been called upon to turn the airplane carrier Lexington into a power house to supply needed power which does not alto gether please the navy. Suppose that Tacoma was dependent upon a privately owned power company what a commotion would ensue at its lack of foresight and its inefficiency in not providing proper power facilities for any emergency! Press and poll- ticians with an occasional pulpit would be loudly fulminating against the wicked corporation and there would b wide spread demand for municipal ownership. Privately owned power companies, however, do prepare for just such emergencies as the failure of. hydro-electric energy through drouth by utilizing auxiliary steam plants. Because of these costly safeguards and the fact that they are heavily taxed, their rates may be somewhat higher than the untaxed and publicly financed municipal plants, but the extra service Is worth something. ' Tacoma is fortunate in having hydro-electric power pos sibilities in her immedate neighborhood, which were de veloped at com pari tively low cost. She supposed her power resources were unlimited and the rates were lowered as a community building asset so that more current has been sold than can be generated with streams at low water mark. Hence the present dilemna. The taxpayers will now have to pungle up for the construction of additional plants which will probably force hgher rates. So, when the cost of politi cal control and the loss of taxation is figured, even public ownership has its troubles and is not as Utopian as some times pictured. Tired of Drives Portland doesn't seem to be living up to its new motto "In Portland We Do" very promisingly. The first thing Portland did after adopting the slogan was to fail to raise the required sum for the community charity chest. The sec ond was the abandonment of the annual Rose Carnival. The last has been the failure to raise the $30,000 quota for the Red Cross. However the people of Portland cannot be blamed for reluctance to strip their pocket books at the demand of the uplifters. They have been systematically regimented for shelling out for drives of all kinds ever since the world war began. The system inaugurated for patriotic purposes has been taken over entirely by bureaucratic charity organiza tions that have come to look upon their perquisites as divine rights. People everywhere are tired of drives, wearied of giving and are bored by Attempts to pep them up for service. It has been overdone. Take the Red Cross for instance. It has become since the war a vast bureaucracy. The money raised on its annual roll-call is merely for overhead costs of its army of officials. The money for any great emergency, where it is called upon to function, such as tornado and flood relief, is raised by a fresh popular appeal and nation-wide response.' The neces sity of maintaining a vast payroll throughout the country is not so obvious. Granted that most of these organizations perform a use ful service, there is something repugnant about their brassy demands for constantly increasing budgets Instead of lim iting demands to necessities, there is a suspicion they de mand all they can get which is spent in enlarged overhead. In other words a large proportion of the funds go to not so needy officials rather than to relieve distress. T. Stanford, an attorney, who had been waiting at the entrance lor .some little time. In sharp contrast with the May night on which he bustled post reporters and camera men Into the jail, Sinclair agreed to pose for photographs and later to make some remark for the talk ing motion pictures. In doing so, he Jibed, laughingly at the newspaper men, thanking them for their "kind reception," and saying": "I hope you will have another op portunity, and I know you will for a little more training, and then I believe you will thow a marked Improvement." A short time before leaving the Jaii. binciai rissued a statement as serting that he had been Impris oned as a "victim of political cam paigns to elect honest democrats by proving how dishonest republicans were. He ss'erted that he could not contrite" for sins which he had never committed, nn nretpnrf to be ashamed of conduct" which 'he said he knew to have bcen-"up- nKiii. in addition, he reviewed the contentions of his lawyers when me two cases on which ha sentenced were In the courts.
