Mr. Roosevelt “does not have the power to perpetuate his powers,” says Mr. Lippmann. “He could not if he wished prevent a new Congress from being elec- ‘ted in November; he could not prevent voters from choosing a Congress pledged to repeal the New Deal; he could not pre- ‘vent Congress from meeting; and he ‘could’ not compel that Congress to give “hew powers or to extend his old .powers when by law they expire.” The extraordinary powers of Presi- dent Roosevelt expire on definite dates. With the passing of the most critical stage of emergency the existing powers are be- coming a source of confusion, and embar- Tassment to the New Dealers, and that they need, speaking generally, to be dis- established and for them substituted or- derly processes. This is the next step in the New Deal, and it is the problem on which Washington leaders, of all parties, are concentrating their attention. INFORMATION ASKED—AND DUE (Tampa Tribune) The Miami News and Jacksonvillé Journal go to “headquarters” for accurate information on the effects of the proposed home exémption’ amend- ment. They ask for a “non-controversial state- ment of facts by Governor Sholtz or those mem- bers cf his Cabis. Nese activities will be di- rectly affeeted by adop,.on of the amendment,” specific reply to the following questions: 1, What effect will adoption of the homestead amendment have upon the govern- mental revenues of the state of Florida? What revenues now coming to the state will be eliminated? 2. What effect will adoption have upon the revenues now to the public i schools? 3. What effect will adoption have upon revenues now coming to the counties and the | special road and bridge districts? 4. What effect will adoption have upon the revenues now coming to the incorporated citiesand towns? 5.° What will be ithe = :tota™ loss of “.aperating révenues governmental in coming to the agencies, of this state through adoption of the: ___ 6.

Regardless of the outeome of the homestead amendment election, will the next Legislature be required to raise new revenues in substantia] amount to provide a centribu- tion by the state assuring the continuation of tederai relief in Florida? We hold that it is the duty of the Governor, either himself or with the heads of state depart- ments, to answer these plain and pertinent ques- tions, from the records. Thus and thus alone can voters be specifically and authoritatively advised / just what the amendment will mean to the state government, the city, county and district govern- | ments, the schools, the bondholders, present and fature taxation. f We are sure’the Governor. will be glad to} compile and publish the information desired, at the ! earliest possible date.
