DR. WILLIAM A, WIRT, the really

told his story of a “red plot” to over

States, so far as the
Democratiec majority

the affair, asserted that gag rule had
been enforced,
The revelation of the nlleged scheme
of the radicals, said Wirt, came to him
at a dinner given by Miss Alice Bar
rows at a country house near Wash
ington. The other guests were Robert
Bruere, David C. Coyle, Miss Hilde
garde Kneeland and Miss Mary Tay
lor, all, like the hostess, connected with
the government, and Lawrence Todd,
chief of the Tass, official Soviet gov
ernment news agency in the United
States, From their conversation, Wirt
gaid, he gathered that men high in the
councils of the administration were
plotting the overthrow of the Ameri
can soclal order and that they con
egidered President Roosevelt as an
other Kerensky to be followed by an
other Stalin, The six men named by
Wirt were Secretary of Agriculture
Henry A, Wallace; Prof. Rexford Guy
Tugwell, assistant secretary of agri
culture and recognized head of the
brain trust; Prof. Milburn L. Wilson,
head of the subsistence homestead di
vision of the Department of Interior;
Dr. Robert Kohn, head of the housing
division of the public works adminis
tration; Dr. Frederick Howe, consum
ers’ counsel for the agricultural ad-
Justment administration, and Henry T.
Rainey, speaker of the house of repre
gentatives. .
The most serlous charges made by
the gentleman from Indiana were di
rected at Professor Tugwell; but his
basis for these, as for practically all
of his story, was hearsay, second-hand
information and vague statements by
gome of his fellow guests at the din.
ner. In that lay its weakness, though
there are many serious-minded Ameri
cans who Insist that there should be
a real Investigation of any govern
ment eofliclals seeking to undermine
the present form of government,
The committee, having heard Wirt,
adjeurned for some days with the in
tention of calling as witnesses those
who attended the country house din
ner. Some of them already had denied
flatly or belittled the statements made
by Writ.
L(’)’l‘S of bickering resulted from the
Wirt case, and In this some of
the Democrats coneerned did not make
a good showing. Chalirman Bulwinkle
of the committee, for instance, as
serted that Wirt was imprisoned at
Gawpy during war times for pro-Ger
man activities, and this was Indignant.
ly denied by numerous persons who
were In position to know its truth or
falsity. Secretary of the Interior
Ickes accused Doctor Wirt of having
sought to ohtaln public works money
for a “Fairyland” project in the In
diana dunes by which Doctor Wirt
was to sell 2000 front feet of dune
land along Lake Michigan at SSO a
foot, a total sale price of SIOO,OOO,
The preject was disapproved by the
Public Works administration as *vi
sionary and ifmpractical,” Mr. Ickes
sald,
Doctor Wirt issued a denial of See
retary Ickes' tale, explaining that he
had no connection with the proposed
project and that the company with
which he was connected had held the
land In question for 12 years to pre
serve it for park purposes.
d Representative McGugin of Kansas,
Republican member of the investigat.
ing committee, was “gagged” when he
tried to make a speech on the case
in the house, but managed to gét it
inserted In the Congressional Record.
At the same time the Department of
Justice was seeking to revive a five
year old matter in which MeGugia
appeared as a lawyer for Mrs. Bar
nett, wife of the wealthy Indian Jack
son Barnett.
DI-ISPITE the opposition eof the
house leaders and the doubt of
fts approval by the President, Sena
tor Couzens persisted in his effort
to put through his amendment to the
tax bill calling for & flat 10 per cent
fncrease in all imcowme tax returns.
Chairman Pat Harrison of the senate
finance committee had approved it as
an emergencey measure and showed
no disposition to reconsider,
When the Couzens amendment was
first voted on in the senate it was de
feated by the bare majority of 46 to
44, the Michigan senator changing his
vote to the negative so as to move a
reconsideration. He got busy among
his fellow senators and was successful
first in having the vote reconsidered
and then in the measure's adoption by
a vote of 43 to 36. It was certain the
proposal would be firmly opposed when
the revenue bill went into conference.
Under the Couzens proposal, a per
son subject to a normal tax of SIOO
on his 1934 income would pay sllO.
Next day the senate adopted the
La follette estate taxes amendment
to the bill, thug adding nearly SIOO,-
000,000 more to the tax load of the
country. The amendment puts a tax
of 1 per cent on estates of $40,000.
This percentage is increased rapldly
until 60 per cent is levied by the gov
ernment upon estates of $10,000,000
and more, Under the present law,
estates up to $50,000 are exempted
from the tax,

There is both an emergeney and a

Vienna and what is left of Austria

“Workers and comrades, remain

With that comes news that the
Vienna-Paris-London express train was
wrecked in Austria by the removal
.of a steel rail, causing the death of a
fireman and one other and injuring
many. The result of such tactics,
keeping travelers and money out of
Austria, may be to bring revolution
more rapidly.

“precions stone” effects on the finger
nails.
Many things can be forgiven, but
hope and pray that ladies and cos
meticians can be persuaded to give
up painting the toenails. It is a
terrible thing when a young woman

out of new-fangled sandals, a big toe

l Washington,—As the political pot be
gins to reach the boiling stage through
out the country, it Is
I Red Hot apparent that, in
* stead of a dearth of
Camp o “igsues” over which
candidates ean harangue, there will
actually be many of them. A few
short weeks ago, political leaders here
either boasted or moaned about the
lack of issues for the campaign, ac
cording as the boaster or the moaner
was a Democrat or a Republican. The
Democrats felt President Roosevelt
had been such a huge success that Re
publicans could pot find a vital or vul
nerable spot to attack. Republicans,
[ whether they said so out loud or not,
felt much the same way. In the in
terim, however, all of this has been
changed and there surely will be a
red hot campaign during the coming
summer and fall months.
| Looking over the situation, one sees
_as probable points of controversy such
| things as the air mail contract can
cellation; the charges that the 'New
Deal” has overridden the Constitution
-of the United States; the devaluation
of the dollar and the profit-taking In
' which the treasury thereafter engaged
through seizure of all gold; the en
croachment of the federal government
| upon business itself through NRA and
} the scores of administrations and com
' missions that have been set up; the
1 proposal to revise the method of elect
ing the President, and the use of tax
payers’ money In development of such
- plans as the Tennessee Valley author
ity, to mention a few of them.
But it seems to me that the most
fmportant issue of all is only now
coming to the surface, Succinctly, it
{s whether the voters desire to have
the various New Deal items made a
permanent part of our national gov
ernmental structure,
It is to be recalled that virtually al
of the items of the New Deal have
been put through congress as emer
gency legislation. Some of them have
been tested in eourts on a constitu
tional basis and have been upheld as
emergency laws, But it is necessary
to think of the' pronouncements by
President Roosevelt almost direetly as
serting his intention to make them per
manent. Otherwise, they would expire
in June, 1985, a little more than a year
from now. The expiration date fur
nishes the basis for the lssue that ap
pears to be so Important,
The 435 members #f the house of
representatives and the 35 senators who
are up for election this fall will have
been re-elected or defeated eight
months in advance of the time when
the declision must be made on contin
uation of the New Deal items that
were enacted as emergency laws. Con
gress, made up of the re-elected or
new members, will convene in the first
week of January, 1935. That will be
tiie congress to decide what the course
shall be. It cannot dodge the ques
tion. If the President requests that the
emergency laws be made permanent,
and he says he will, the new congress
either will do his bidding and re-emact
the laws e desires or it will kill them
off by its refusal to act.
Se the candidates this summer and
fall must be prepared to answer wheth
er they will support a continuation of
the New Deal or will work against it
That puts the question up te the vot
ers. It is closely akin to a refer
endum. For the farmers, for example,
it will require a decision whether they
want to go on inte the future with a
centralized functionary in Washington
like AAA, telling them how much corn
or wheat or eotton they can grow, how
much milk, or eggs, or fruit, or cows,
or sheep, or hogs they can produce.
For the manufacturer, the issue will
require a decision whether he wishes
to go on with production under the
codes, likewise directed from Wash
ington. For all taxpayers, it will re
quire a decision on the question of the
type of expenditures that have been
and are now going on out of the fed
eral treasury. It strikes me as about
the most important set of questions
presented to American voters in many
years. Upon-their decision rests the
future policy of this nation.
- - -
I have frequently expressed the
opinion in these columns that things
have happened so
Pace Is rapidly under the
Too Swift “New Deal” that
most of us here can
not keep up with them. Frankly, as
an unbiased observer without political
affiliation of any kind, I have been un
able sometimes te reach a conclusion
for myself regarding many of the New
Deal projects. They have been thrust
upon us at such speed that it has been
utterly impossible to study all of them.
And that is the unfortunate part of the
forthcoming campaign. If we, who
are in the front rows of the theater,
gre puzzled, what then must be the
state of mind of those who are far re
moved from the stage and can judge
only by the few favorable or adverse
effects that reach them as individual
citizens?
There will be quite a bit of water
go over the dam before the votes are
cast in November. It may be, there
fore, that a better understanding of
the plot of the play can be dissemi
nated to the country at large. I hope,
#o, because the decision to be made is
momentous. I hope, too, that the eam
,paign will be the hottest we have had
in generations. Otherwise, the ques
tions, the issues, will not be thoroughly
debated. If they are not thoroughly de
bated, thousands upon thousands of
voters are going to cast their ballots
as Democrats or Republicans just be
cause they have always been Demo
crats or Republicans. The coming
campalgn is not of that structure.
The best indication I have seen of &
probability that all phases of the
economic policies evolved from the
New Deal will be thoroughly discussed

bills were sent to the Capitel a year
ago and earlier In the present sesslon
of congress, and passed without de
bate, or with very little. There is still
too little debate on much eof the legis
lation, but that which Is going on
i serves to enlighten the public on the
subject matter proposed. This ought
to be. After all, congress and the ad
ministration are only representatives
of the people who pay the bill and
whose citizenship make up our natien,

are omitted.

. t ®
I mentioned in an earlier paragraph
fn this letter that one of the issues
about which argu-
Norris ment is likely to be
. heard in every state
Election Plan this fall is the pro
posal to revise the method of electing
the President. It is proposed, In ef
fect, to amend the Constitution of the
United States so that the method of
electing a President of the United
States would be accomplished by a
division of electoral vote in each state
proportionately with the division of
political party strength as shown by
individual ballots. For example, and
as a better way of explaining what is
proposed: a state may be allowed
twenty votes in the electoral college.
At present, all of those electoral votes
are cast for the Presidential candidate
who receives the majority of the in
dividual ballots, It is a unit rule.
Now, the Constitutional amendment
that is projected would force a division
of those electoral .votes so that, as
suming the party votes were so divid
ed, eight of the electoral vetes would
be cast for ene candidate and twelve
for the other.
The authors of the proposed amend
ment are Senator Norris of Nebraska,
and Representative Lea of California.
It Is the charge of the Republicans
that the move is designed to give the
Democrats perpetual control of the
Presidency. They are not making that
charge out loud yet. They want con
gress to pass the resolution proposing
the amendment to the states, so the
fiepublican speakers can argue about
it all ever the country this summer.
The point the Republicans are mak
ing is that the so-called solid South
will continue to vote nearly all of its
electoral ballots for the Democratic
candidate. The case of Mississipp! is
cited. It has nine electoral votes, The
Republican party Is virtually nonexist
ent there. The result would be that
certainly eight, and maybe all, of the
nine votes would be cast for the Dem
ocrat, Just as they are each four years
under the present system. -Add to the
electoral votes of the South, the gains
that would come from such normally
two-party states as New York, and
the Republicans assert the result
would be permanent control es the
government machinery by the Dem:
ocrats,
Representative lLea says, however,
that he thinks a virulent two-party
fight would develop in every state in
the Union. Representative Martin, &
Massachusetts Republican, argues
that the Republicans “won’t have s
chance.” And there is your issue.
