NEW RUMNG INCREASES
POWER OF SEC
NOW IT CAN BLACKLIST
ACCOUNTANTS
a
LAWYERS, ENGINEERS,
LOBBYISTS ALSO INCLUDED
THIS TANTAMOUNT TO
LIFE-AND-DEATII RULE
mieuiHr.-mK Julv 3. A lew
days ago. the securities and ex
change commission took a porten
Uoub but little noticed step a step
which interestingly Illuminates the
whole process o( modern govern
ment. In brief, the commission assumed
a We and death Jurisdiction, In
so lar as their business affairs
are concerned, over all persons and
firms practicing before It. Formerly,
the commission merely admitted
lawyers and agents to Its bar. Now
all the crowding attorneys, account
ants, engineers, lobbyists and tjie
like, who awarm through the cor
ridors of every government agency,
may lose then- SEC Income tomor
row by a vote of the commission.
It sounds simple enough. But,
on closer Inspection, several cir
cumstances of the commission order
are seen to be very significant.
In the first place. It may be a
coincidence that the order was Is
sued on the very day that a trial
examiner advisory report bitterly
erltlclilng the great accounting
firm of Price, Waterhouse for allege
edly Improper practice, was also
given to the public. 'v
But the fact Is that the new
order la aimed squarely at the cert
ified accountants, and was promul
gated at the Insistence of Commis
sioner Jerome N. Fran, who has
a bee In his bonnet about the
business practices of accounting and
engineering firms. The order's pur
pose it to Insure that balance sheets
drswn up to show compliance with
the truth in securities laws shall
be dependable and accurate. At
such, It cannot be criticized. Indeed,
it adoption was inevitable, sooner
or later.
But the order's meaning la far
larger than might be suspected.
Certified accounting la a large and
.Hn.n.wiii. hnainesM. dailv Influenc
ing commercial habits, aupportlng
large numbers or people, ana prv
Mino exreerilnfflv handsome In
comes for the owners of the small
number of domtnant firms.
mthai4n it h seldom been sub
Jected to publlo criticism, and cerT
talnly. when the securities laws
m written, neither the members
of congress who voted for them, nor
the accountants who watcned mem
past without a murmur reauzea
that they Included detailed regula
tion of the accounting business.
Yet that Is precisely what has hap
pened. - - ,
The power of a government agency
to do what the SEC has done has
never been tested . In the court
and It may not be upheld, but If
It ts. the 8EC has unquestionably
, exienoeo its power to hibac iuico
for all accountants. In every large
rpAitntlnir firm, the nrerjaratlon of
statements for the SEC Is a good
part or tne wora. u me okaj onus
a particular firm, that firm Inevit
ably loses a big percentage of Its
business.
More than that, however. It Is
publicly blacklisted. "Unethical and
Improper professional conduct" Is
among tne grounas namra oy we
SEC for banning firms and person
practicing before It. And what ac
counting firm could hope to obtain
much respectable business If such
a label were pinned on it by one of
the most Influential agencies of the
government?
A has been remarked, the SEC's
order waa not only 'Justifiable but
Inevitable, given the task the SEC
has to perform. The commission ts
one of the most efficiently operated
agencies of the government. Since
It has made peace with the New
York stock exchange. Its policy on
every front has been a firm mod
eration. Now even the Wall Streeters
and managers of utilities holding
companies, who once feared and
hated It most, hold the commission
In considerable respect. It cannot
be accused of grasping for unnec
sary power.
f And that, really. Is the lesson of
the SEC'a new order. Power breeds
power, surely and rapidly. Once the
government assumes the duty of
making any rules In a given field.
It must end by making all the
rules.
The short history of the SEC am
ply demonstrates this truth. If It

subject of. heated wrangles this af
ternoon In the trial of Al Rosser, for

In court.
Repudiated In Trial
This confession, which had been
made by Brinks to Portland officers
mmedlately after his arrest for ar
son, did not involve Rosser in the
box plant fire, but has been repu
diated by Banks In testimony at the
trial. Banks testified that he had
been advised by Attorney Roblson
and others not to mention Rosser
and that he la the "fall guy" In the
case.
The atato produced two more con
fessed participants in the box fac
tory fire today In an effort to link
Rosser as the htghe-up who conceiv
ed and had the burning carried out.
Cecil Moore and John Newlands. both
awaiting sentence for actually start
ing the fire, described the arson
Job.
Moore said Banks paid him, New-
lands and Ernest "Red" Carson $105
for doing it and recited In a low
voice that their efforts to get more
money failed. Moore did not talk to
Rosser about the payoff, he testified.
but knew that Newlands and Carson
did. Moore also admitted that Ros

that they made their deal to burn
the factory with Banks, who was
then business agent for the teamsters'
union at Salem. He said that he

a repetition of great f- .war "In
Europe." '' " '
"Wiien I look around the world I

ly upon civil populations. Is going on
In China today, or much nearer to

In the World War. he said. Great
Britain preserved liberties and "If we
felt they were In danger again and
there was no other way of maintain

more."

war resulted In thousands killed and
wounded, and added, amid loud Ap

say now not only to you but to all
the world, in war, whichever aide may
