Good evening, everybody! March 21—look who's here—Spring. A sixty-three-year-old Mississippian who is the father of 37 children, all living, has’ applied to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation for employment., What he needs is retirement! Once upon'a time the editor of a wetRty paper jokingly repeated the old wheeze about his full subseription list of three, He did this until the number of paid subseribers came perilously near ap- proximating that number when there was no more fun in the joke. 0, O, McIntyre avers that Will H. Hays engineered the $20,000,000 pension fund for retired Presbyterian ministers and SOME PAST HISTORY Many readers of The Citizen will re- call that baek in 1907 the country ex- perienced a financial panic due to the same lack of sufficient currency for busi- ness needs. Much has been said of this expe- rience during the past few weeks. But little has been said of the expe- rienee of the country during the trying days of the beginning of the world war | in 1914, At that time, when the storm broke, there was a disposition on the part of the American people to rush to the banks for cash. But there was an ward. ‘The Federal Reserve Act was on the statute books. It was only an infant, lit- tle more than a year old. But it contained a clause which saved the situation. In the act there was a provision which permitted the Federal Reserve Bank to is- sue currency to the amount of $500,000,- 000. This provision was utilized and the Federal Reserye Bank promptly issued notes. It was this issue of bank notes that provided sufficient available money to supply the first demand of the public and when it was found that the demand was promptly met, the public was quieted. The actual issue of the Federal Re- serve money amounted to only $150,000,- 000. A panic was averted. Ask any banker familiar facts. anchor to win- with the WALL STREET Wall Street, little as it probably de- serves it, will undoubtedly have its share in the general upturn. The increase in currency will have a stimulating effect on buying. The reports of the first. quarter \ of 1933 will be very disappointing to the pub- lie generally, but faith in the administira- tion and relief over-the successful negotia- tion of the crisis will have an optimistic effect. The poor showing of the first three months of the year will be excused on the ground thatthe country was in a doubtful state in regard to the change of ad- ministration. Now that the change ‘has come and has proved so efficient and popular, the public canfidence in-business in general and corporation securities will be re- stored. There is a great deal in psychology and the psychological effect of the events of the first weeks of March will be favor- able. While the time has ‘hardly arrived for investment purchases, it will soon be here. With the passage of the beer bill and farm legislation there is certain to be a rise in the grain market and this cannot fail to have its influence on the stock market. Better days are apparently quite near us. QUR FIRST SPEAKER An article in the National Republic gives some interesting information con- cerning the first speaker of the national House of Representatives, an able man whose name few of this generation ever heard. . He was Frederick Augustus Conrad —How meer sis, By William Brackart INDEPENDENT | AGENCIES Ts government of ours has be: come such a gigantic thing thut only ‘those who have duily contuet with it in all its forms readily ree. ognize its magnitude. Consequently, there has developed throughout the country a feeling on the part of thousands that there are a lot of governmental agencies whose exist- ence ‘is “not “Justified: “There ‘are others who are not certain the gov." ernment ought to be as big as it {s, but they retain an unquestioned faith in those they elect to represent them. . ‘There is plenty of ground,for the feeling in each instance. The gov- ernment is certainly doing a lot of things that the Fathers of the Coun- try did not contemplate, but which astute politicians since have con ceived. Many of these: functions ought never have been started: vast numbers of them ought to be done away with now, but the law of averages has worked again and some of the things the government is now doing represents services which the country needs and which its citizenry finds of value in one manner or another. In the course of examining the governmental structure in detail as | I have had to do in preparing these diseussions, 1 jocated a total of 58 agencies operating independently of the established depurtments over which cabinet members* preside. They spend a total of about $69,000, 000 ench year, exclusive of the vast suM—$985,000,000—paid out by the veterans’ administration which bas been discussed separately. So it would seem that there was sufficient reason for that Tennessee woman, who, having read eriticisias of the great number of bureaus, boards and commissions, wrote to the rest- dent, saying that she could use one of the “useless bureaus” and would be willing to pay the freight charges on ft if one were ‘shipped to her, Most of these independent offices spend less than a milion dollars a year apiece, Some of them cost only a few thousand a year, but there are {Some whose annual cost to the tax- payers range much higher. Surely none questions the value of the radio commission in these days when we all enjoy extracting things from the nir, ner is there a ques Uior as to the principles actuating reation ot the feder:.1 power com mission, The board of tax appeals yers.and the x But there Is the shipping board and the United States tariff commis: sion and the federal trade commis- sion and the bureau of efficiency, two or three commissions to adjust disputes growing out of botndary questions between the United and its neighbors, the national s thread commission, any number of memorial and battle monument com- inissions, boards for this and boards for that. The tariff commission was created on the theory that the tariff question would be taken out of pol- ities, but politicians did not want that to happen. The federal ‘trade commission was established to pro- tect the little fellow against the oc- topus of business. There are such groups as the elvil services commission who, if politi- a federal service that would contair: only satisfactory workers eventu ally, and the joint commission. on printing that would hold down gov ernment costs of printing except that the government departments and members of the house: and sen- ate are continually ‘clamoring to stock the country with printed ma- terial. A board of mediation was set up to settle railway labor disputes, but there is little doubt that it could be dispensed with along with scores of other agencies. Maintenance of such organizations as the Smithsonian institution is ac. cepted as a normal function of gov- ernment for it preserves to posterity | a physical record of what has hap- | two cians kept hands off, might establish !
