It is a serious charge, and de serves careful consideration. We think a convincing answer was made to it in Chicago the other day by General Hugh Johnson, who was himself one of the most ardent and powerful of the early new dealers. He said: “I was present at the birth of j the new deal in 1932. I knew it as well as any. But thruout the whole | discussion I never heard of an at tempt to change the organization * of the courts to make them sub servient to the executive. • “I never heard of any plan to reorganize the government — not for economy, but to centralize all j power and planning in the execu tive, “I never heard of any proposal | to remove power from the states and put them—not in a federal government, but in a federal gov-1 emor; nor to use taxing power— not to support the government but j to redistribute the wealth of the1 country. “I never heard of any suggestion to appropriate the revenues of the United States in a lump sum for the executive to distribute among certain classes of people at his own discretion. “I never heard of a proposal to ’ take from congress the power to j regulate the value of money and j give it to the executive. “Nobody mentioned in my hear-1 ing a proposal to cut the United ; States into seven economic pro- j vinces for development purposes ] and to put the control of that de velopment in the executive depart ment instead of the states or con gress.'’ This by no means exhausts the list. There is the power over peace or war, the power of the purse, the power to send prices and stocks up or down, the unlimited discretion over billions of appropriations, the power to shift appropriations from one purpose to another—all tend ing to “a complete remaking of the government of the United States." t —Omhha World-Herald. 1 - ’City Council Proceedings O’Neill, Nebraska, ^ Aug. 3, 1937. * Council met in regular session.

THE NEBRASKA SCENE By the Lowell Service The legislative council, created as an interim advisor to the uni cameral, has failed to take the in itiative in the matter of planning and advising. At the preliminary session the division between liberal and con servative cropped out. It was im possible to agree on a director. Clerk Hugo Srb was selected as temporary director. The council liated a number of angles of the taxation problem for discussion and discussed some, problems of state government. All the angles have been emphasized before; all the problems have been wrangled over for years in almost the same language. So the taxpayers are just out a trifling sum for expenses. In the shop worn language of the bicam eral days, the council reports pro gress and asks leave to sit again. The news of the New York May oralty election produced a notice able effect on conservative repub licans in Nebraska. The close affilia tion of Senators Copeland and Burke has been a matter of com ment. So the election returns were closely scanned by some astute republican statesmen. There is now a tendency, declare GOP wheelhorses, to let the democrats light their own battles. Senator Burke’s organizers, and he has a formidable machine, were somewhat dismayed by the vote getting ability of the pro-New Dealers in New York City. With the anti-Roosevelt men bogged down in conservative Gotham and with Tammany in the clutches of Jim Farley there is little hope of successful rebellion along the At lantic seaboard, Burkeites admit. r#he forces of the President’s supporters may be divided. Editor James E. Lawrence and Legislator John N. Norton are popular at the White House; both are friends of Senator Norris; both have stood for New Deal principles, Lawrence in the editorials columns and on the lecture platform, Norton on the stump and in the councils of the party at Washington. Governor Cochran has support of the entire New Deal program. He is on friendlly terms with the ad ministration. However, he is not favored among the followers of Norris. During the last two months Terry Carpenter has betrayed signs of a Cochran alignment. In poli tical circles the story has been cir culating that Cochran and Mayor Butler are at least political allies. When Mace R. Brown, at the anniversary celebration of the Oma ha Central Labor union, proclaimed Governor Cochran as labor’s choice for a third term for governor, he either opened a campaign or spilled the beans. The governor was at the banquet board as was Governor Phil La follette of Wisconsin. The latter advocated the entire reconstruc tion of both the major parties. In the transformation, he asserted the people would gain a genuine liber al party and a .true blue conserva tive organization. “Then,” he declared, “Conserva tives will not run as liberal and then turn conservatives as soon as the election is over.” Democrats admit that the situa tion is puzzling. Many of Cochran’s friends are against a third term campaign for governor. Then, too, Former Governor Bryan is rft work. He will naturally, his friends claim, make inroads into Cochran’s sup port. The exemption of homesteads from taxation will be the Bryan slogan along with the reduction of taxes and an increase in old age pensions. In the meantime a new and dis tinctly popular name ha,» been added to the republican list of gub ernatorial possibilities, Earl ,M. Cline, former regent, legionnaire, and Lincoln attorney, has been sug gested as the republican nominee. The fact that Mr. Cline’s candidacy was first intimated in the Lincoln Star may have some significance. It may be that the friends of the state university are inclined to take an interest* in the fracas of 1938. Cochran opposed the mill levy dur ing the last legislative session. “A virtual war is going on be tween indigent persons and county officials,” declared Earl Carpenter of Guide Rock, a member of the unicameral legislature representing Nuckolls, Webster and Franklin counties, who reecntly visited the state capitol, accompanied by Emil Brodecky of Howells, another legis lator. Neither of these men advo cated a special session of the legis lature, but Carpenter urged that the gasoline tax money held in litigation for two years be used for relief work. Brodecky advised WPA work and RA loans for farmers hard hit by drouth, The board of regents of the Uni versity of Nebraska! has announced the appointment «f 28 new faculty members. Amoijg tljiem are Dr. C. G. Lowe, professor and chairman of the department of the classics, a post which he held from 1927 to 1931. For the last six years Dr. Lowe has been director of the Gen nadius library of the American School of Classical Studies at Ath ens, Greece. Dr. Earnest G. Witte is the new director of the graduate school of social work and professor of social economy. Lloyd J. Marti becomes a lecturer in Nebraska practice, college of law, and Clem i entine Newman is, the new social director of Carrie Belle Raymond hall. The federal district court has taken under advisement the suit, heard all day Saturday, of the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers asking in junction against enforcement of the Nebrasaka State law regulating collection of royalties within the state on copyrighted music. With in tend days the attorneys must file briefs. Federal Judges Munger and Donohoe and Circuit Judge A. K. Gardner sat on the case, and the society was represented by the following attorneys: Herman Fink lestine and Louis Froelich of New York and Loius T. TePoel of Oma ha. Assistant Attorney General Barlow Nye and William J. Hotz as special counsel represented the state. A statement filed by Douglas County Attorney Tom English in the test case filed in the Supreme court by Harry A. Turkey of Oma ha declares that tfie delinquent tax law passed by the unicameral leg islature is “incomplete, ambiguous, indefinite, uncertain, and imposs ible of enforcement.” The high court is asked to rule on the validity of the law. The automobile brake testing equipment on display at the state fair has temporarily been installed hack of the Lincoln police station, where it is being used by the police, and in giving demonstrations for the benefit of car dealers and op erators. Edward I. Boisseree of Spalding joined the mtor carrier examiner staff of the state railway commis sion last week. B. L. Knudsen, director of motor transportation has announced that trucker's hear ings will be held in the county seat towns of the following counties during the week of Oct. 4: Burt, Cuming, Banner, Dodge, Garfield, Kimball, Loup, Morrill, Scottsbluff, Sherman, Stanton, and Washington. Secretary Perry Reed of the state fair board says the state fair at least broke even, and may have something to start work with next year. Paid admissions totaled 77, 489, which is 6,623 less than last year—probably due to the infantile paralysis epidemic. M. F. Kracher, state chief pro bation officer, says that the new state law, LB 267, provides the first adequate check-up that has ever been obtainable on paroled Nebras kans in other states and on out-of state paroles in Nebraska. Viola tors of parole, too, can be returned more swiftly and at less cost. Ac credited officers of a sending state ■may always enter a receiving state and apprehend or retake any person on probation or parole. THE MILLS OF THE GODS Sometimes the mills of the gods grind slowly, as the old saying puts it, and there may be an example in a resolution which Senator Rush Holt, of West Virginia, says that he is preparing to introduce into our upper house national legislative body. Senator Holt is one of those “recalcitrant” statesmen who voted against the administration’s court packing plan. It is said that cer tain leaders in the New Deal are out to “get” him when the oppor tunity afforded. Senator Holt, however, is not one of those lamb like persons who sits down and awaits slaughter. He believes that the best sort of an offense is an attack. Therefore, the West Virginia statesman plans to introduce a reso lution declaring it to be the judg ment of the Senate that no presi dent ought to have a third term. There doesn’t seem to be anything surprising in this. Some of Mr. Roosevelt’s friends have declared that they know he doesn’t want a third term. But there are many politicacl experts who believe that whether he wants it or not—and maybe he does— the president will have to seek election again because there is no other leader popular enough with the masses to carry on some of the now several unpop ular phases of the New Deal.

But there are many who believe that Senator LaFol lette would not be popular with millions of democrats and the belief is therefore expressed that Mr. Roosevelt himself will have to “come again.” Here is where Senator Holt’s res olution comes in. No matter whether or not the President has any intention of runing again, the resolution is bound to be embarrass ig and may force a declaration from Mr. Roosevelt at a time when no declaration seems to be politic. The resolution may be embarras sing to some New Deal senators. For nine years ago a resolution was introduced in the Senate against the third term proposition, at a time when the democratic hosts had an diea that the very popular President Coolidge might seek an other term. At that time nearly twenty senators still in office voted in favor of a ban on third terms, which was adopted. It was de clared that the third term idea was “unwise, unpatriotic and fraught with danger to our institutions.” Of coure, some of the senators like Mr. Borah who voted for the anti-third term resolution nine years ago, will consistently vote for the same kind of a resolution now. But among those who voted for the resolution against third term idea as dangerous and unwise, back in Coolidge’s day, were Sen ator Barkley, of Kentucky, the present majority leader; Senator Ashurst, Senator Thomas of Ok lahoma and Senator Wagner, all champions of the New Deal, while the anti-third term resolution at that time was introduced by Sen ator LaFollette in person. That is why the anti-third term resolution may come up now to plague a lot of folks if it is per mitted to come to a vote. Probably the New Deal senators will try to talk it to death.
