EMMERT RAPS FOR ‘YES MEN

Incapable of Advising Him Correctly, Says Attorney

- General.

Times Special FRANKLIN, Feb. 11.—The New Deal has been in power too long to be “of the people or by the people,” Attorney "General James Emmert declared in a Lincoln day address here last night. “The president has been too long removed from the kind of. personal contact with the people, who after all have the right to direct government,” he said. “An ever-increasing bureaucracy of ‘ves’ men are incapable of correctly advising the president and he has been acting on bad advice for a long time. “The third term precedent was more than just a political rule of thumb to insure passing the political pie around to keep the party satisfied, It was advocated from the time of Washington down until 1940, by men who had been president and knew the dangers of the office. “Today, when we are fighting a war for our survival, and when we need the co-operation of the whole nation in our war effort, we have too much government by a bungling and partisan bureaucracy, bent on unnecessarily shoving the people around, bent upon regimentation for personal power, bent on destroying a government of the people and by the people. And when that happens, it is no Tonge? for the people.”

BLUE STARTS RAIDS OUTSIDE THE CITY

Slot machine raids on places in the county outside the city ‘limits have been started by Prosecutor

‘Sherwood Blue’s staff with the aid

of state police officers.

Sheriff Otto Petit was not .in-|

formed of plans for the raid and his aid was not asked by Prosecutor Blue. “I asked state police to furnish us some officers and equipment because they are always ready and willing to co-operate promptly with local

law enforcement agencies,” Mr. Blue |

said. Prosecutor Blue pointed out that the raids were made on ‘affidavits and search warrants issued on complaints received by the prosecutor’s office. “We are not favorable to any practice of unlawful seizure or confiscation of property without arrests,” Mr. Blue said, thus inferring that some recent raids have been illegal, causing mahy defendants to be discharged due tg lack of evidence. Prosecutor Blue declined to elaborate on his failure to call Sheriff Petit on the raids or the legality of some of the 100 or more raids made by city police. Places raided by deputy prosecutors and those arrested were Peter

salary increase bills providing that

men’s- and policemen’s: salaries. The Republican leac to increase the salaries in the salaries drawn by ‘this greup of public employees will be reported to the ’45 legislature by the special commission to be created to study salaries. And, until this commission has a chance to make its study, they do not believe that any action should be taken. The bill sponsored by the Prosecutors’ associa=tion to raise prosecutors’ salaries throughout the state reportedly comes in this category. Salary increase bills definitely scheduled to pass are those to increase the salary of the secretary of state from $6500 to $7500 and the state tax board members from $4500 to $6000. The former bill, of course, will not take effect during the term of the incumbent secretary, Rue J. Alexander. It would equalize the secretary of state’s salary with that now being paid the state auditor and treasurer, : No action has been taken by the steering committee on the bill to raise the salaries of the state Lighway commissioners from $5200 to $6000.

No New Taxes? UNDER DISCUSSION by the G. O. P, steering committee is a “no new taxes” resolution. If this should be adopted, it / would be particularly good news to the truckers who are fighting the truck tax bill sponsored by the state highway commission. The weight tax law. was re--pealed by the 41 legislature and an increased truck license fee setup put into effect in its stead. The increased license fee law was later declared unconstitutional by _ the supreme court because of a defective title. Consequently, the

truckers got by during the past year much cheaper than the "41 legislature had intended. ; Now, they are opposed to any restoration of the tax in any form. They contend that they are paying enough taxes as is— that the taxes paid on one truck during a year amounts to the total original cost of the truck. Another bill which would be killed if the “no new taxes” resolution should be adopted would be the measure to increase the state forestry levy from two to three mills for increased reforestation projects. Proponents of the proposed resolution say that there is no need for enactment of any new taxes with a $30,000,000 balance in the treasury and that it would be good political strategy for the Republican party. » ” 8

ONE OF Mayor Tyndall's most attractive campaign platform planks was a pledge to take the City hospital out of politics. A bill was introduced under his sponsorship to do this by placing’ control of the hospital under control of a board named by the governor, federal judge, etc. : But much wrangling ensued and the bill has been amended to provide that the mayor shall appoint ‘a five-member, bi-par-tisan board of directors who in turn will appoint the hospital superintendent. Now, the mayor appoints the hospital superintendent. : How, observers are wondering, does this take the City hospital out of politics?

Ik Control Law

The law has been coasting along on that basis since 1935 and its supporters, mostly milk producers, sought this year to make it a permanent setup. . The amendment was regarded as a partial victory for opponents of the measure, who contend that with present OPA regulations and increasing demand for milk state control no longer is necessary. Under the two-year limitation, the bill's opponents will have another chance to.end milk control in the next general assembly without having to deal with a permanent law. In the second amendment the agriculture committee sought ‘to strengthen the constitutionality of the law by changing slightly the
