Power Fight Pending Over Administration’s Projects
ADMINISTRATION WILL
SEEK LOWER POWER IN
THIS COMING SESSION
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13—The Democratic Adminis
tration in power in the United States government is seeking
to mass the resources of the government behind a power
offensive that may lead to a historic fight before Congress.
On one side are those who demand cheaper electric
power and more drastic regulations; and on the other side
are those who warn against the government interfering in
business, declaring that the attacks on the power companies
are a danger to private industry and investors.
The White House has been making a public survey,
‘ contending that the users of electricity in Northeastern
States could save one hundred and ninety-four million dol
lars on their power bills.
One phase of opposition to the administration s hydro
' electric program cropped out in Cincinnati, calling the Ten
nessee Valley authority “vision asinine.”
The Appalachian Coal Co., incorporated, was described
as a nation-wide campaign of opposition to the hydro-pro
gram, saying that coal furnishes cheaper electricity and
power than water does. It hit what was termed as crass
excursion into the power business.

WASHINGTON
CURRENT
COMMENT
Administrative Washington is
occupied with the trying business
of figuring out the budget for the
coming year, and since plans in that
direction are incomplete, details
have not as yet been made public.
Expenditures fall into two classes:
Those incident to the ordinary con
duct of government affairs, and
those which arise out of the current
emergency. It is not to be expect
ed that the operation of the neces
sary federal machinery will be im
peded by appreciable cuts, and
there is no marked tendency to dis
regard the demands of what has be
come known in common speech as
the emergency. Upon the other
hand, the Administration has not
committed itself to a general tax
raise. About all that can be said
is that the books are being gone
over and the cash counted. Fixlfig
up the budget is a man’s job and
something for experts to handle.
Balancing the budget contrary to
popular belief, is not a task for the
experts. It has to be done by the
masses. That is one instance in
which every administration, wheth
i er republican or democratic, acts
with non-partisan impartiality. No
one is denied a government position
when it comes to balancing the bud
get.
There was a time when the Span
ish did their fighting elsewhere than
in Spain, as Peru, Mexico, Holland,
England and many other countries
can bear witness. Just now the
Spanish have on their hands a rev
olution which may end in a dicta
torship. War is bad anywhere. It
takes its worst form when it is in
the nature of internal strife. Char
ity should begin at home. The
same cannot be said of i conflicts at
arms. Thousands now living can
recall the period when the Civil
War, though in the past, still embit
tered and separated the North and
the South in the United ’Stated
Spain is none too strong and none
too prosperous, at best. It is un
fortunate that she is driving a
wedge into her own structure.
Students in the Chicago schools
“walk out” in protest against some
thing they do not like. A walk-out
in a school is a good thing, but it
should be of the old fashioned two
man variety. The writer recalls
more than one school walk-out that
was salutary, but the teacher con
stituted the rear-guard, armed with
a substantial paddle. What happen
ed after the door was closed need
not be discussed.
A prominent person expressed
the opinion that when one has held
office and then retired, he should
keep his nose out of the affairs with
which, formerly, he was actively
concerned. The wisdom of that
view is to be questioned. It is true
that no one can be more of a clog
and a nuisance than the has-been
who still hopes to keep his hand on
the helm. It is equally true that
at all times and in all places the
world has been too blind to the
teachings of experience. The pro
per course is to admit the super
annuated or supernumerary states
man freely to an open forum, and
then exercise a sound eclecticism in
profiting by what he has to say.
The grand jury considering the
case of Bruno Hauptmann sends a
baliff from the jury room to report
on the score in the World Series.
Some are inclined to think that this
indicates a lack of attention to the
serious matter under consideration.
Is it not possible that justice can
be accomplished best by a ball-play
