A bi-partisan drive to either kill or drastically amend the Adminstration's re-organzation bill has begun in the Senate. The Administration's proposal which apparently will be most bitterly contested is that on^ which would abolish the 3-men Civil Service Commission and substitute in its stead, one-man control. The Administration's argument " is that the power ill the civil service law is executive ixi character and that such power should be placed in the hands Of the Chief Executive. Opponents of the measure contend that if public confidence in the civil service system is to be retaimd that object will be more likely achieved under a commission of more than one individual than it would be if such power was vested in a single person. We hope that the integrity of the civil service system will be retained' and that the one-man commission proposal will be very soundly defeated. Power of this kind should not be givea' to any one man. Curtailed Borrowing It is reported that the Treasury Department has taken steps tc| curb heavy government borrowing which in the past few years had increased th<» public debt to the record amount in excess of 37 biHiOn dollars. . It is reported that the government will not issue any neW long-term notes or bonds during the regular quarter^* financing operation. Relief for the Jobless With President Roosevelt's signature affixed to the $250,000,000 relief appropriation bill, Works Progress Administration officials are setting in motion the machinery which will open the way for 500,000 jobless to secure WPA employment. Tax Changes Debate has begun on the new tax bill which will be known as the Revenue Act of 1938. The bill contains 319 pages. The new bill" "provides for a revision of the undistributed profits tax and the capital gains tax rates and provides for a tax on family and closely held corporations. Republican members will attempt to strike the latter provision from the bill and repeal outright the undistributed profits tax and will seek to restore the old 12% per cent limit On capital gains. A New Smithsonian Library The House Library Committee has favorably reported H.J. Res. 599 which seeks to provide for the establishment of a Smithsonian Gallery of Arts. The Resolution, among other things, provides that the President, for the purpose of the establishment of the institution, shall set aside a suitable tract of public land in the Mall between Fourth and Fourteenth Streets and Constitution and Independence Avenues; that a Commission to be called the 'Smithsonian Gallery of Arts Commission shall be established; that the institution shall be under the supervision and control of the Regents and the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institute; that funds be sought from private contributions for the construction of the building to house the Art Gallery, and that it shall be the policy of the Regents to maintain a worthy standard for the acceptance of art objects for exhibition in the Gallery, and that in order to encourage the development of contemporary art that the Regents; be authorized to solicit and receive funds from private sources to acquire by purchase oi' otherwise and sell contemporary works of arts or copies thereof; to employ artists and other personnel; to award scholarships, conduct exhibitions, and generaly to do such things and have such powers as will most effectively carry out the purposes for which the institution is to be founded. Bank Holding Companies A bill which has its object the strengthening of the regulations of bank holding companies and corporations has been introduced in the Senate by Senators Glass and McAdoo. The new bill modifies to a great extent Senator Glass' original proposal for the elimination of bank holding companies. THEODORE HAMER, Receiver. HYDE G. MINER REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF .
