The President or whoever he may delegate to act for him makes such rules and regulations as are promulgated by the bureaus. The rules, sometimes called "administrative laws," have the effect of actual laws passed by congress as they apply to the citizen. The bureaus not only enact the laws but administer and enforce them. What These Laws Can Do. Administrative laws may fix prices, levy taxes, give or refuse permission to do business, regulate competition, define economic crimes, prescribe penalties, regulate the dealings between employee and employer, and define what the citizen may do wltn his own property. In less than three years the President himself has Issued some 12,000 of these executive orders, a large share of them falling Into the classification of administrative laws. In less than three years the number of bureaus, administrations,, coromis slons, etc., has more than doubled. A total of. 229,470 full time employees have been added to the government pay roll since President Roosevelt took office March 4, 1033, an Increase of ex actly 30 per cent In 33 months, reports of the civil service commission disclose. There are now 796,207 on the pay roll as compared with 500,986 on March 4, 1933. Yet the number of employees who have passed, or even taken civil service examinations, has greatly de cilned. These figures do not Include the army, navy, marine corps, CCC, AAA county committeemen, HOLO appraisers, housing administrative representatives, or any other local agents of the myriads of government bureaus, commissions or agencies which are paid from the federal treasury on e per day or fee basis. No One Knows Extent. The result^ as Garet Garrett, the writer, found out first-hand and reported In the Saturday Evening Post, is that ho one in Washington can list all of the government bureaus. And no one can tell an Inquisitor the number of them. President Hoover tried to reduce the cost of government by recommending to a Democratic congress the elimination of many government bureaus and the consolidation of others to reduce duplication of effort. The congress failed to pass legislation authorizing -the^anges Broadway of America The Bankhead highway, which has been called the Broadway of America, js a thoroughfare connecting Washington, D.
