Washington EeM 1930 Issue
Crystallizing
Washington, June 10. ? What
ever the outcome of the efforts
of Congress and the Administra
tion to salvage what is left of the*1
New Deal, in the light of the Su
preme Court's decisions, one thiug
seems clear to most of the political
observers here. That is that the
issue upon which the presidential
campaign of 1936 will be fought
out has been sharply and clearly
defined.
The issue will be whether the
United States Government is to
be further, centralized in Washing
ton, or whether~!he existing sys
tem of 48 independent states is
to be continued and strengthened.
The Supreme Court made it
clear that under the Constitution i
as it stands there can be no such
centralization of power as Mr.
Roosevelt and his advisors, and
his supporters in CongresH, at
tempted to exercise. And while
the Administration is trying to
toiake. up its mind whether the'
people of the United States are
ready to amend the Constitution, L
the boys on Capitol Hill are do-i
ing more real hard work than at;
any time since the present Con
gress met in January. They have 1
a real job in hand.
Not only are they trying to work i
out a substitute for the National j
Industrial Recovery Act which will ,
meet the Constitutional objections j
pointed out by the Supreme Court, f
but they are reconsidering the j
amendments to the Agricultural ,
Administration Act, and looking (
over again the new Banking Bill, ]
the Wagner Labor Relations Bill, ,
the Social Security Bill, the Guffey
Coal Regulation Bill and the
amendments of the Tennessee Val
ley Authority Act, to see whether
?those can be re-shaped to get
around the Court's ruling, or
whether some or all of them will
have to be thrown in the discard.
Hard Hummer Ahead
It is not only pretty tough on
the Senators and Representatives
to have to do so much work over
again which they had pretty near
ly finished, but the hot season in
Washington is decidedly uncom
fortable, and it now looks as if the
boys would not be able to get awa.
before August at the earliest.
Literally, there has never been
such a state of confusion in Wash
ington within the memory of anj
one who is now active in public
affair*. On the one hand is the
firm belief of the dominant ma
jority in Congress, and of the Ad
ministration, that centralized con
trol Qf business and industry i.
absolutely essential to the salva
tion of the economic life of the
nation. On the other hand there
is profound uncertainty as to
whether this point of view is held
by enough voters to back up any
efforts that may be made to make
that belief effective.
(wine mnnuii ua
An extremely interesting an
alysis of tbe rotes in the Con
gressional elections last Fall is
giving a good many Congressmen
something to worry about. There
were 32,804,100 ballots cast at
that election. It only 1.2 per cent
of those votes had been cast on
the other side, in the right dis
tricts, a Republican majority in
stead of a Democratic majority
would have been elected. There
were , one hundred and eleven
closely contested districts, and a
shift of one vote out of every 30
in each of those districts would
have made the present Congress
Republican instead of Democra
tic.
The boys from those 111 dis
tricts, which might have gone the
other way. are wondering now i
how far their voters will folklv. .
them tn any scheme to revive f?RA
or to change the Constitution of i
the United States. They have al
ready heard from home that, in
the opinion of great masses of
voters, the NRA was already .ts
dead as Prohibition ever was, even
before the Supreme Court deliver
ed the final knockouj.-blow. What
Is worrying thein Is how far it
will be safe f?r their own political
futures Jxr%o along in any kind
of effort to revive the codes.
Searching for Control
-J Among the interesting sugges
tions that hare been revived as a
result of the Supreme Ortrt decl- '
?ion is the old idea of a federal
.incorporation law, which would
require all businesses engaged in
.-"Inter-state commerce to take out I
Jtxteral charters. This, it ,jg be
lieved, would glre the federal gov
ernment an effective and constittt^ \
tional means ot control of' such i
enterprises. Under the federal tax- ,
log power,' it is pointed out, an- j
other means of control might be (
operative. i
Those are Just a few of the nu- i
merotis Ideas which are being dls- I
cusaed, none of which ha* crystal- i
lined. In the meantime, the "pre*- ?
sure blocs" ? chiefly those M or- 1
ganlzed labor, organized farmers
and organised veterans ? are de
manding that something be done
right away in tbefr Interest*.
Some of the statia Ileal sharks on
Capitol Hill have it figured out
that the total ot the "pressure
blocs" represents about 17 per
cent of ttw'Voterrf of the United
State*. The other 83 per cent hare
little influence on legislation, be
cause they are unorganlx*d. But
"In Plain Figures"

great deal of trouble in' estimating
her proportions. She taped on the
sixes . ? ? and won over 100 -eon?
testaats.
hey are beginning to be taken a
ittle more seriously than has been
lie case heretofore.
More Coalition Talk
Getting back to politics, which
Washington always gets back to,
:he suggestion of a coalition party
:o oppose Mr. Roosevelt next 'year
8 being taken with increasing
seriousness. How many Democrats
Lhere are who are ready to split
)ff from their party because they
io not like his leadership nobody
knows, but there are a good many
n Congress and undoubtedly
nany more outside of Congress,
me hears the name of Lewis W.
)ouglas, former Director of the
budget, spoken with great respect
.vhenever the talk turns on coali
ion party lines. There is also a
;ood deal of talk about Justice
)wen J. Roberts of the Supreme
3ourt as good Republican presi
lential timber. All gossip of this
jort, however, while interesting,
neans nothing in the light of the
omplete chaos into which every
hing in Washington has t>ee?.
hrown by the Supreme Court V
uling.
Motor Touring
By C. W. Wood

Motor touring in the vacation
eriod should be a pleasure trii
rom beginning to end. It is all
he more reniarkabble, therefore
hat the average motorist glvas
ittle consideration to obtaining
he maximum pleasure by select
ng the most interesting route foi
ach day's run.
"What's the shortest route tc
?" is the average tourist's
uery as he starts from his hote!
?ach morning.
Naturally, the shortest route
>etween two cities is also the most
congested with traffic, especially
srith commercial vehicles and
)use8; also, it is the most Jbuilt
ip, and therefore traverses more
ow-speed zones and has more en
forced halts. The shortest route,
n fact, ,is not necessarily ;the
iuickest way between two points.
The alternative routes may bt
onger in distance, but often are
horter in time; however, even if
Hey require more time, they re
>ay the motorist by their pleasan
er motoring. Not only do they
xvoid the dense traffic and the
nforced halts of the main routes,
>ut in many cases they make the
?xtra time well worth while be
ause Ihey are more interesting
n scenery, and less trying to
Irive.
Unfortunately, the kind of road
map supplied for use in the Unit
ed States falls short of helping
he tourist in his search for tht
jcenic and picturesque routes

Crossing the Atlantic in record breaking time, the Normandle arrived In New York this week with more than

picture on the left was taken In France, Juat before sailing; It shows hundreds of barrels of marine oil being
taken aboard to lubricate the ship's 1(0,000 horsepower motors? enough to propel ten pverage ships; on the ?

automobile clubs can be relied on
to give the tourist tips on routesji
from point to point. The motorist, t
it each over-night stop, will do'
well to call on the club bureau
for advice on alternative routes:

he will be directed over highways'
that will add immeasurably to his!
pleasure.
Planning the tour so that each1
lay's run will bring the motor-,
sts to a pleasant or interesting 1
iver-night stopping place is an- 1
other point frequently neglected1
by vacationists. Because many a 1
large city can be by-passed en
?oute, at a great saving of time.
>ver-night halts in smaller cities
ire advantageous. Many small
lities imw have hotels that are
luite as comfortable for a short
lalt as the larger hotels in the
big cities. Thope who make a
practice of staying in the smaller
owns urge as advantages the ab
sence of parking difficulties, the
>ase of finding a garage, the low
?r cost, and the great saving in
:ime in getting away from the
hotel in the morniing. and in
finding the route out of town.
