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.

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

never committed, nn nretpnrf to
