If Mr. Patman’s infatuation with the

Of course $25,000 is not much

The federal tax on s pack of cig-

SHOULD WOMEN TAKE

Editor, The Press: -
ON JAN.’s I read in The Press
an article written by a taxpayer
protesting the appointment of a
woman by our chief of police as
his secretary while hundreds of
young men walked the streets in
search of work. Just another case
where politics held the trump
card. , However, this case was
| mild compared to the following:
At the close of the 46th Legis-
lature O'Daniel persuaded W N.
Corry to resign his seat as rep-
resentative and accept the assist-
ant directorship on the pension
board, a move which met the dis-
' hack home and ask grandma what
he was talking about. This was |
just a little new over at Austin |
There are lots of people who
have never found out that the
governor does not make the laws. |
i He told the boys his plan but
they said it won t work. He said,
fix you one, boys, and I will sign
the bill, but they said that won't
work.
All this cry-baby stuff about a
third term being unprecedented is
nothing but political hokum Why
didn't they raise that issue when
Mr. Roosevelt, through daredevil
temerity and unapproachable po-
litical sagacity, flung precedent
scan and Far Eastern affairs, and later
vicious, destructive tolls of aa
economic situation that had ren-
Jerod it hopelessly impotent?
Despite the fact that his Re- |
publican predecessors admitted
that the situation was unparal-
Mod in the history of American
politico and instated that nothing

it, Mr. Roosevelt's quick, success

American democracy to its virgin

The proposal on its very face
and of itself admits the chargo
that the board is devoted to par-
tisanship unsatisfactory to all
three principal interested parties
—employers and both sides of the
divided house of organised labor.
On only one possible theory can
this partisanship be reversed—the
selection and appointment of men
who can be relied upon in every
case, or at least in a majority of
cases, to follow a contrary bias.
But men who can be relied upon
in any case, or in most cases in 1
which they are sitting as judges,
to follow a particular bias, are not |
judicially minded or even just men.
They are either obstinate zealots
or rubber stamps. In neither case
are they competent men for a
quasi-judicial board.
• ••
THIS is the very vice of court-
1 packing, jury-rigging and all
similar schemes for paying lip
service to principles of democracy
and justice and betraying them at
heart. •
If two, or even one, of the new
appointees turn out to be of like
mind with the members who have
smirched and perverted the pur>
poses of the labor act, this pro-
posal can only keep its shocking
injustices intact or at best make
them worse. For, in a board of
five in which two are by the very |
essence of the proposal acknowl-
edged to be unjust judges, one new 1
—vote added to theirs, would pre-
serve the present slant toward in-
justice and two would increase it i
And what chance is there that
any number of additional judges
would change this situation?
There remains ths philosophy of
whatever reigning influence word-
ed the law. It still defends the
board it attempted to shield from
investigation. After the board's
conviction upon the facts and at
the bar of public opinion. It is
still unwilling freely to acknowl- 1
edge its errors and offers only
this futile and tricky clever little
scheme, to calm the public clamor 1,1
against its evils.
It is difficult to see why Sena-
tor Wagner’s opinion is to he 1
greatly considered in this matter. 1
He did not originate the Labor
Board. That was done by the NRA 1
in 1933 while he was aboard. The 1
idea of that board was of a strict- 1
ly unprejudiced umpire to decide |
controversies in the application of 1
the provisions of NIRA for collec-
tive bargaining, Independent labor 1
representation and maximum 1
hours and minimum wages. Its /
model was the strictly judicial one /I
of the war labor policies board of
1918 presided over by ex-President 1
Taft and sparked by Felix Frank- 1
furler. Senator Wagner was sug- 1
gested in 1933 by the NRA admin- 1
istrator and appointed by the 1
President during Wagner's sb- 1
sence in Europe,
s s e
PUT it was under the senator's |
D administration that the idea 1
of a strictly impartial tribunal 1
was scrapped and the hoard be- 1
came a government pressure bu- 1
reau to organize industry, not in 1
whatever form workers might se- 1
lect, but in particular forms fav- 1
ored by the board.
That new policy is at the root 1
of the bad repute of NLRB I fear 1
that Senator Wagner, under whose 1
administration it was born, still 1
favors that ruinous policy.
This column has always con- 1
tended that, with some clarifica-
tion o f the statute, there was 1
nothing much the matter with the 1
Wegner act. With fair and judicial 1
minded men, it would have proved 1
a boon from the beginning. With 1
the evil precedents now in the rec- 1
ord. I fear It is too late even with 1
a completely new panel to recover M
the lost ground. There should be 1
a single administrator to do the 1
executive work and a rigidly im- 1
partial board of review to insure 1
justice. The claim that this 1
would repeal the law" couldn’t 1
win a debate in any fair forum. 1

Must bring light at such a coot; 1
Should He refuse to meet the mob 1
The world would be forever loot 1
The curtain was asunder torn 1
As Jesus drew His last, long 1
breath: 1
The world would forever mourn 1
The One who suffered such a 1

Rejoice, ye people, all rejoice, 1
The resurrection morn to here: 1
Hark, you hear the angel’s voice 1
The King arose, our God k here. 1
