MARCH JOBLESS BENEFITS DROP

State Compensation 4 Pct. Less Than Total Paid In February.

Unemployment benefits paid in |&

\ Indiana during March dropped 4 per cent below the February total 2 and 12 per cent under payments in March last year. ~The Unemployment Compensation Division, in releasing the figures, said that they were a fair indication of a business pickup, but that some workers may have exhausted their benefit accounts and some may have moved out of the State. The others, they said, probably began earning enough that they were not entitled to further payments. | a Hoosier workers received $968,205 for total or partial unemployment during March, compared with: $1,005,261 in February and $1,099,816 in March last year. : The average number of. individuals drawing benefit checks each week in March was about 22,100 compared with 23900 a week in February and 25,300 in March 1939. Out of 25 field offices over the state, only three, Kokomo, La Porte and Anderson, paid greater total benefits than in both the previous month and March a year ago. Twelve officers reported claims lower than in either of those periods. Indianapolis paid more benefits than in March 1939 but less than in February.

17 DAYS LEFT TO PAY '39 PROPERTY TAXES

With only.17 more ‘days remaining in which to pay County property taxes, a total of 160,000 tax statements have yet to be called for at the ‘Treasurer's office, County Treasurer Walter C. Boefcher reported today. The deadline for payment of property taxes without penalty is May 6. A total of 240,000 tax statements have been distributed over the counter and by mail from the Treasurer's office since March 15.

Mr. Boetcher said taxes still may|

be paid by mail. This may be done by mailing to the Treasurer's office the last property tax duplicate together with a self-addressed stamped envelope. The Treasurer then will mail the new statement to the property owner. The property awner then may mail in a postal order for the amount due with the new duplicate. Mr. Boetcher urged that this method be used to avoid the lastminute rush. :

For Suffering Women

Much of women’s periodic distress may be unnecessary! . Many who suffer from headaches, nervousness, cramp-like pain, other

Symploms of functional dysmenorrhea due to malnutrition are helped

Main way it helps relieve periodic distress is by increasing appetite

and flow of gastric juice. Thus it often aids digestion; helps build strength, energy, resistance to periodic disturbances. : : Others find help for periodic .discomfort this way: Start a few days before and take CARDUI until “the time” has passed. Women have used CARDUI for more than 50 years. A : t

WASHINGTON, April 17.—Government by bureaucracy inevitably tends to become government in the interest of the bureaucrats. This generally accepted fact is responsible for that portion of the

”

f Logan-Walter bill, now before Con- I

gress, which deals with review by the Federal courts of the decisions or ‘orders of the multitude of Gov=ernment administrative agencies. Presentation of amendments is forecast today. House passage is forecast, but the measure is expected to ‘be blocked in the Senate or vetoed by the President. Other sections of the bill, as €xplained in previous articles, are intended (1) to provide a uniform and safeguarded system for exercise of the agencies’ quasi-legislative power to make rules which, in eftect, are laws; and (2) to provide a prompt and uniform system for exercise of their’ quasi-judicial power to make decisions. Supporters of the bill contend that these sections will automatically insure sounder administrative laws and fairer administrative decisions. . : Zeal Brings Abus But the agencies, especially those whicn administer statutes relating to social and economic problems, are headed and largely staffed by enthusiasts—by people sincerely, earnestly and properly zealous to

make the statutes accomplish what|

Congress intended, or what they think Congress intended or should have intended. The bureaucrat who: abuses his power for his own benefit is, perhaps, the exception. Abuse of bureaucratic power . results more commonly from the zeal of administrators to get results for, as they see it, the benefit of the people they are supposed to serve. But the consequences, in damage to the personal and property rights of citizens, are no less evil than if the interests of the bureaucrats were entirely selfish. So, it is argued, the decisions made by quasi-judicial administrators—often "actuated by partisan feelings—need to be checked and balanced by wholly judicial officials in much the same way as the decisions of trial judges are checked and balanced by courts of appeal.

Appeal Would Be Possible

A third section of the LoganWalter bill, therefore, proposes to provide a uniform procedure of judicial review for the decisions and orders of administrative agencies. A party to a proceeding before any agency, if aggrieved by the agency’s final decision, could appeal within 30 days to the District of Columbia Court of Appeals or to the U. S. Circuit Court. which has jurisdiction. This is intended to decentralize judicial reviews, since there are 10 Circuit Courts throughout the country, instead of centralizing them in Washington at great expense in time and money to citizens with appeals. Theé court to which an appeal is taken would be required to base its decision on the record of proceedings before the agency. But that record would have to be “full and accurate,” and the court might require the agency to submit further evidence. ;

Court Could Affirm or Set Aside

Having considered the appeal, the court could affirm the administrative agency’s decision, or set jt aside, or direct the agency to modify it. The court would be required to set the decision aside if satisfied that the agency’s findings of fact are “clearly erroneous” or are not supported by “substantial evidence”; or that the decision is not supported by the findings of fact; or that the decision ‘is beyond the agency's jurisdiction; or that the decision infringes the Constitution or the statutes of Congress; or that it was not issued by the processes required by law. : To meet the objection that appeals to 11 different courts of review might result in many disagreements among these courts, the bill provides that any court finding itself in disagreement with a previous decision of another court having the same jurisdiction shall immediately certify the matter to the U. S. Supreme Court. This, it is contended, would enable the prompt adjust-

{ment of diverse views among the]

lower courts. : High Court Review Possible

Dissatisfied litigants would, of|-

course, retain their present rights to seek Supreme Court review of the.decisions of the appellate courts. Opponents of the Logan-Walter Bill maintain—but its supporters deny—that existing law is amply sufficient to secure judicial review of administrative decisions.” The opponents also say that in this respect, as in others, the bill is too sweeping. ; The bill's advocates reply that th Circuit Courts would not be required to hear petty or frivolous appeals; that the courts would merely check and balance, not control, the administrative agencies;

Finally, supporters ‘of the bill argue that responsibility for incompetent, biased and illegal actions would be clearly fixed on the administrative officers and employees concerned. :
