Who nolle the ~hove statem(,nts. some liepu'ldican who is still try- ing to point out the ,fallacies of tilt, New Deal? No. They were made 4)y the Democratic senator from Iowa, Clyde [{erring, at the an- nual dinner of the Association of ('asualty and ,Surety Executives ill New York City last week. ~Phe senator also ca~led for anmndments to the So('ial security act, the wage hour act, the Wag- ner lahor relations act, taxation bills and other New I)eal legisla- tion. He said the changes were necessary to aid business. Thus it is plaiuly stated by a leading l)emoerat senator that the new deal is a failure to such an extent as to be of concern of all citizens. The idea that the adlninistration can follow its senseless policy against business and spend its way out of the resulting business .de- pressions has not worked out. The billion doUar pump priming program has not primed a thing. Statistics of the federal reserve ,hank show industrial production for Aprit at an estimated 90.5 as compared to 101 in January 1939. This drop came in spite of very heavy governnlent spending. Many eongressluen now appar- ently realize that the brain trust- el" theories have not proven out. The 'brain trusters have one weak- ness. They may be ,brilliant, and honest and have the very best of intentions, but they ,are not prac- tical men and the government is in the hands of ilnpractieal men. A mild program of business ap- peasement is being followed in Washington but too many of the theorists (lo not have their heart in |t and for that reason business does not trust the a(hninistration. What is needed is a genuine pro- gram to overhaul tile controversial new deal laws ~whieh had lnu(~h to do with the 1938 depression and appear to be 4)ringing on another one. The laws should be anlend- ed in the light of eonlmon sense and he maple workable where pos- si,ble and repealed where they have failed. Such a progr~,m is unlikely before the next election. However the evidence that many I)emocrats admit the faihlre of nlueh of the new deal lends encouragement that eoulnlon sense nlay Will out in th( end if the government credit can hohl out long enough. ,ADS For SALE IN OUR NEXT ISSUE SENATOIt MIIAA']R IIAI) FINE IlI.)Ct)l{I) IN TIlE SENATE Senator H. I). ,Millet' of Morley was a hrief visitor in Anamosa last Wednesday. "l)el" was absent from the Senate at l0 o'clock that morning when the gavel fell for the closing session of that group this year. In }hissing the roll call at the final day's session, Senator Millet" .broke a record of eight years duration and six sessions. He had at no previous time (l(lring his work in Des Moines bccn a, bsont froth the Senate at the op(,ning of a day's session.- fltnanlos1I Jollrlta]. Iowa Press Association). Thoroughly in keeping with the "off the record" attitude of the Iowa senate--that removal of the board of control should be follow- ed by a "clean-up" of the entire system under which the 15 insti- :utions are operated--the newly- appointed board plans to spend several days inspecting these insti- tutions. By way of explanation, a big share of the senators who voted for the resolution recommending the board's removal to Gov. George A. Wilson, were of the opinion that this action alone hardly would put the system in order. Evidently that was merely the starting point and the new board has taken the hint. APPROPRIATIONS Many times observers have point- ed out that the legislature itself is much to blame for the condition in which several of the institutions, principally the six mental hospitals, find themselves today. Those hold- ing this view point to the repeated futile attempts of board of control officials to obtain greater appro- priations with which to operate the institutions. As a result, they say, practically all the hospital staffs are under- manned with competent help diffi- cult to obtain at the low salaries available. In addition to this the hospitals are overcrowded with pa- tients forced to sleep in beds jam- i med together so closely that they are unable to get into them with- out climbing over several. SPENDING Other observers hold the view that the appropriations, which have been voted the boards of control in the past, would go much farther if they were wisely spent. That is a matter of conjecture since no persons not closely connected with the board possibly could be able to offer a sound opinion without knowing details of each spending ;ituation. At any rate, the board of control recently appointed by Governor Wilson will be closely watched and it is safe to predict now that the senate's action in voting the re- moval resolution will become very ~uch of a campaign issue in the 1940 ballot-getting battle. ECONOMY One item is apparent about the new board of control. It seems imbued with the spirit of the re- publican "economy" program. The board had been in office scarcely a day when one of the members expressed his desire to get rid of the high-priced automobiles at the board's disposal, in favor of more econimical makes. feel that it failed to accomplish~ (hi \Vcdnesday morning Cliff much of anything--and, as usual, h)sty entertained tile junior history both sides have their arguments. }(.lass hy giving a talk on his ex- CONSOLIDATION iperiences in tile nledical corps in One of the biggest problems fae-the Worhl \Var.

Spe'lking of' Arlo and Itch, we'd their I|lans l'or the much belated LIMELIGHT Aside from the representatives who may campaign for the state ;enate in the next election, appar- ently only one legislator made a bid for higher office by his work during the last session. He is Sen- ator Edward Breen, Fort Dodge democrat. By virtue of his work as minority floor leader, and in view of his leadership of the fight against ousting the board of control Breen may be very much in the limelight for governor on his party's ticket come next June. COMMENT With the legislature in final ad- journment for nearly two weeks, adverse and favorable comment is beginning to seep in from out in the senate regarding actions which it took and which it failed to take. At this early date. forces are be- ing formed to "get" certain legis- lators in the next election, if they choose to run again. It is definitely known that sen- ators and representatives mainly re- sponsible for the failure of the bill appropriating money for aid to de- pendent children will find little support from such organizations as the American Legion, its auxiliary, and the state Parent-Teachers or- ganization. It is also known that the Iowa Federation of Women's Clubs is up in the air over the failure of the senate to take up the torch from the house and pass the pre-marital examination bill. TEACHERS Right along this line come the teachers in public schools over the state. It is quite evident that they are dissatisfied with house action in refusing to consider their pet pension bill on the floor of that body,, after the senate passed the measure with plenty of votes to spare. However, observers point out that definite progress was made by the teachers when the bill went thru the senate so neatly. In the 1937 legislature, it failed to pass the house by a tie vote and was never considered in the senate. History o f m u c h legislation shows that it was offered to two, three, or even four general assem- blies before it was pushed through. AUTHORITY Competent observers feel that the new law granting the governor power to appoint business managers for any one or all of the state board of control institutions as he sees fit, may result in a clash of authority. It is only natural to assume that any appointee of the governor is responsible to him. Following that assumption to its logical conclusion any business manager he appoints will be responsible to him. How- ever, superintendents and wardens are appointed at the institutions by the board of control and are re- sponsible to the board. Any busi- ness manager appointed presum- ably would be on an equal foot- ing with any superintendent or warden although a distinct line technically speaking, would sepa- rate their respective duties. At this point, it should be made clear that the board of control it- self is responsible to the governor, since it was appointed by the chief executive. Therefore, superintend- ents and wardens are indirectly re- sponsible to the head man. DEMOCRATS Democrats have been much in the background in Iowa during the last few months but there is every reason to suspect that they have not been idle. Headquarters has been maintained in the same four- room suite used for the last few years and doings of the republican legislature and governor have been minutely noted, studied, picked apart and analyzed with an eye on winning back the state house in the 1940 election. Just as the republicans feel that the legislature accomplished a great deal so do b('tter got a word in about (qaude. i rot'alien of three u|onths, better ~eelllS tll"s givt'n Ill| (latiny,!
