TRUXAW PHYSICIAN office 3213; Res. 2610 Den State Bank Bldg. & L. A. — Anaheim DR. J. C. OSHER PHYSICIAN Phone 3212 W. Center — Anaheim INTING — How much is the United States being ruled by law today—and how much by administrative directives, departmental orders and bureaucratic rules and regulations? That is a pertinent question, for autocratic government, which rules by fiat and dictum, rather than by legislation enacted by the people's duly-elected legislative representatives, borders on the totalitarian philosophy of our enemies. It is pertinent, also, because citizens in all walks of life are suffering from an excess of governmental interference and meddling. Yet most of the many governmental edicts which plague Mr. and Mrs. America are NOT laws, but are regulations which were promulgated by the administrative branch of government through its thousands of departments, bureaus and commissions. Congressman John Phillips of Banning throws some interesting light on this dark subject in a comparison of the number leaders attend Conference For Girl Scout Workers The annual "Big Tree" regional conference for the leaders of Girl Scout work was held at the Ebell clubhouse in Whittier on Thursday and Friday of last week. The theme of the program was "War Work With a Peace Time Value," and was one which was most ably discussed by speakers during the two-day meeting. The main guest and speaker for the meeting was Mrs. Paul Rittenhouse of New York City who used as her topic, "Friends Are Where You Find Them." Mrs. Rittenhouse is a very brilliant speaker and a tireless work in the Girl Scout movement. Group meetings of all divisions of the work were held during the afternoon meetings and as a climax to two days of hard work, a delicious banquet was served in the dining room of the clubhouse during which time further tribute was paid Mrs. Lou Henry (Herbert) Hoover, whose home as a young woman was in Whitter and who was one of the most diligent workers in the nation in the cause of scouting. Dr. Spencer, acting president and dean of Whittier college, was a prominent speaker during the session. Another honored guest was the National President, Mrs. Allen H. Mean of Salt Lake City who gave a fine discussion on "Satisfaction in Girl Scouting." Her work has been an untiring labor and one that she has found Physical Education Climax Public School Will Be Held at Coming as a grand climax the public school week new progress, the physical education classes of the Anaheim system will present on Friday afternoon, May 5 at 1:30 p.m. the Anaheim City Park eighteenth annual demonstration of the work accomplish these classes throughout the year.

Congressman John Phillips of Banning throws some interesting light on this dark subject in a recent comparison of the number of laws enacted, and the number of orders, regulations and directives issued during the past 11 years. The Phillips digest is based on an analysis of the "Federal Register," which contains all the amazing collection of administrative orders, executive orders, certificates, permits, licenses, "interpretives," amendments, ration orders, price regulations, allocation orders, special notices, permits of general interest, "evesting orders," et cetera, et cetera. Skipping, for the sake of brevity, the data on earlier years, the record for the past four years is as follows: In 1940, Congress enacted 551 laws; the President issued 309 directives—and the various bureaus and departments of government issued 5,937 orders, regulations, etc.! In 1941, Congress enacted 397 laws; the President issued 382 directives, and bureaus and departments issued 9,868 orders and regulations! In 1942, Congress enacted 457 laws; the President issued 286 directives, and bureaus and departments issued 14,124 orders and regulations! In 1943, Congress enacted 219 laws; the President issued 120 directives, and bureaus and departments issued 20,625 orders and regulations. Comments Congressman Phillips: "Remember that Congress is supposed, under our form of government, to make the laws; the Executive Branch is supposed to administer them. Yet every one of these administrative and executive orders has today the same power as a law passed by Congress." And Congressman Ramspeck of Georgia, a Democratic leader in the House, voiced this scathing indictment of the present system of government by departments in a recent address before the American Political Science Association: "In this year 1944 it is suffering from an excess of governmental interference and meddling. Yet most of the many governmental edicts which plague Mr. and Mrs. America are NOT laws, but are regulations which were promulgated by the administrative branch of government through its thousands of departments, bureaus and commissions.

And Congressman Ramspeck of Georgia, a Democratic leader in the House, voiced this scathing indictment of the present system of government by departments in a recent address before the American Political Science Association: "In this, the year 1944, it is correct to say that we are governed in the Federal field by bureaus. "One of the failures of bureaucracy arises from the desire of some bureaucrats to stretch the laws passed by Congress, to make the laws do things Congress never intended them to." The excuse may be made by apologists for our swollen bureaucracy that it is necessary to suspend many of the democratic processes during wartime to make possible swift and decisive action. There is some merit toward government by bureaucratic orders started long before the outbreak of war—years before!—and it is clearly evident that many departments in Washington have taken advantage of the war emergency to put over arbitrary proposals which have no relation to winning the war, and which they were unable to put over under normal conditions. The American people, if they believe in government by law, had better be on their guard. For the time has certainly come to send men to Washington as our representatives who will fight to restore the law-making powers to Congress where they properly belong—and to put a check-rein on bureaucratic excesses.
