More Bureaucratic Usurpation
Despite protest on its legality by many congressmen
and the national republican committee, the Census Bureau
has announced its decision to include in its 1950 question
naire, on penalty of fine and imprisonment or both for re
fusal to answer, statistics on annual income of individuals.
In 1940 when this inquiry first was made, many refused
to answer despite the threat of a fine of $100 andor 60
days in jail holding that such queries are outside the pur
pose of the census as defined in the federal constitution.
The bureau made no attempt to fine those who declined to
answer what they deemed a federal invasion of rights re
served for them in the constitution.
The census bureau bases its authority for the inquiry
and penalties on Sections 4 and 9 of the Act of 1929. Sec
tion 4 "restricts" the census to questions "relating to pop
ulation, to agriculture, to irrigation, to drainage, to dis
tribution, to unemployment and to mines" and leaves to the
Census Bureau, subject to the approval of the secretary of
commerce, ' the number, form and subdivision."
Section 9 fixes the punishment for individuals who de
cline to answer or falsify and for census bureau employes
who breach the statutory guarantee that the replies will
be kept confidential.
This law was passed by the 71st congress and signed by
President Hoover but those who passed the law had
no intent of permitting the bureau to probe personal fi
nances. Mr. Hoover says he would not have signed the act
if he believed it authorized such questions, and intent con
strues the law usually.
The Census Bureau apparently has no legal right to ask
income questions under the statute, unless the supreme
could should so decide. It asserts authority not granted, to
ask it of every fifth person only, and requires under penalty
the naming of a sum only from those with incomes "under
$10,000 a year." But as Author Krock states in the New
York Times:
"These basic faults in the reliance of the census bureau on
Section 4 of Hie act of 1949 do not, however, disturb those
workers in tne government for a planned society who find a
higher authority than any statutes dealing with the decennial
census for an inquiry designed to assist them in their planning.
Thev lustify it. and the penalties for not responding, as a legiti
mate exercise ot general federal power which requires no pre
cise statutory language. In this view the inquiry is a "reason
able' use of this general power; and they feci sure that if they
could get the issue in that form before the courts (which have
been largely manned by the last two presidents), their concept
would prevail "
Pearson's Position on Bids
Earlier this year State Treasurer Pearson, with an in
surance background, thought that a second to the lowest
bid on liability insurance for state cars should be accepted.
So did the entire board of control, for that matter.
Reason for passing over the low bidder in that instance
was that "extra service" of the bid award happened to be
a standard stock insurance company while the loser who
offered a saving of $8,778 was a reciprocal company. The
loser declared its company had offered "extra service"
for the three years it had had the insurance.
At this week's board of control meeting none other
than Bud Pearson moves to award the bulk of the state's
tire business to Mike DeCicco, democratic big-shot of Port
land, who entered the low bid. When challenged as to the
advisability of the award to DeCicco, Pearson asked:
"What's the use of seeking bids if we ignore the low bid
der?" Apparently no one asked him how he justified that ques
tion with his stand last summer on the insurance award.
It didn't make any difference, judging from the out
come, that the purchasing department had recommended
that the business go instead to major concerns with higher
bids. The purchasing department claimed that the state
had poor experience with tires furnished by DeCicco dur
ing the past year.
It also didn't make any difference either that the De
Cicco firm had failed to list tire outlets throughout the
Btate, regardleps of such a listing being required by specifi
cations. Nor did the DeCicco firm include, as furtl'ier re
quired, an offer of 2 percent for cash payment. In the
latter connection, the firm did offer a discount verbally.
The business landed in DeCicco's lap after Secretary of
State Newbry moved that the bulk of the tire business be
given to DeCicco and the second low bidder, with the major
tire companies getting what was left, with "experience"
and service being the criterion for the amount of business
given the two low bidders.
Pearson failed to explain how he could take one position
one time, as in the case of the liability insurance award,
and another position in the case of his democratic party
buddy, Mike DeCicco.
The Nation's Real Threat
Dr. Vannevar Bush, president of the Carnegie Institute
of Washington, D.C., a noted scientist and one of the fore
most authorities on atomic energy, speaking at a convoca
tion at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he
once served as vice president, warned against a growing
trend toward federal sponsored "soft security" as a greater
threat to the n-ition than Russian armaments.
Dr. Bush said that if we became "a people fawning for
handouts on an intriguing bureaucracy," Russia would con
quer the world without military might.
Although a totalitarian state like Russia could not com
pete "in the long run" with a free people in the advance
ment of science, ho said, it could produce what it wished
"in the short run," by ignoring the sufferings of its people,
"up to a limit, and that limit is high."
There was no doubt that Russia was building a formid
able military machine, Bush asserted, and that, barring an
improbable internal collapse, "such armament will appear
in the hands of an absolute closely knit central governing
group of men who distrust us and would destroy us if
opportunity offered." The threat could be met only "if
we are strong, for the Kremlin recognizes only strength.
He continued:
"But we cannot meet it if we turn this country into a wishy
washy imitation of totalitarianism, where every man's hand is
out for pabulum and virile crcalivcncss has given place to the
patronizing favors of swollen bureaucracy.
"Dictatorship can compete with dictatorships, nnd a free virile
democracy can outpace any such in the long pull. But a people
bent on a soft security, surrendering their birthright of individ
ual self-reliance for favors, voting themselves into Eden from a
supposedly inexhaustible public purse, supporting everyone
by soaking a fast disappearing rich, scrambling for subsidy,
learning the arts of political log-rolling and forgetting the rug
ged virtues of the pioneer, will not measure up to competition
with a tough dictatorship.
"We must have the wit to recognize a dangerous trend and
lauRh at sirens with cracked-brained economic theories who
would guida ui down an easy path over a precipice."

Little Irish, Immigrant Boy

Marshall, Mo., Dec. 14 (f A little Irish boy who came to

When five-year-old Charley Robertson was adopted by Mr.

During the past year, Charley always mentioned Tony, also

It was Tony.
