Jeffersonian Democrats
Band Together
f70RTY - THREE Democrats,
r most of them prominent nation-
ally or locally and representing
twenty states, gathered in Detroit
to tell one another
and the world how
much and why they
disliked t h e New
Deal. After two
days of conferring,
they organized
themselves as the
National Jefferson-
ian Democrats and
named Former
Senator James A.
Reed of Missouri as
their national chair-
man. They decided to establish
headquarters at once in St. Louis
and to set up an organization in
every state. Then they gave out
a 1,500 word declaration or plat-
form in which they declared they
“will not support for re-election the
candidates of the Philadelphia con-
vention for President and vice presi-
dent, and we call upon all loy-
al and sincere Democrats to con-
sider the question of their duty to
their country in the approaching
election with the same earnestness
that has guided our delibrations
joining with us if they feel that our
conclusions are sound and our anx-
iety for the future of our ^ party
and our country is justified.”
The name of Governor Landon
was not mentioned in the declara-
tion, but a number of its signers
are openly supporting the Republi
c‘an candidate. Among these are
Joseph B. Ely, Col. Henry Breckin-
ridge, John Henry Kirby of Texas
and Robert S. Bright of Maryland.
However, the avowed prime ob-
jective of the Jeffersonians is the
defeat of President Roosevelt and
the restoration of the Democratic
party to its status before the New
Dealers captured it. Their declara-
tion is unsparing in its denunciation
of Mr. Roosevelt’s course and the
policies of his administration.

Bar Association Split on
New Deal Legislation
\\J HEN the American Bar as-
VV sociation convenes in Boston
soon it will receive two widely dif-
fering reports from a special com-
mittee named to study the effects
of New Deal legislation on the
rights and liberties of citizens. They
were made public in Washington.
The majority report, signed by
John D. Clark, Cheyenne, Wyo.;
Fred H. Davis, Tallahassee, Fla.;
George L. Buist, Charleston, S. C.t
and Charles P. Taft II., Cincinnati.
Ohio., “deplored” the action of
President Roosevelt in reducing
congress to a “rubber stamp body
to carry through his progrem.
“Novel legislative and govern-
mental trends of the New Deal are
just as uncertain today as they
were two years ago,” the report
said. “Laws specifically proposed
as emergency measures with limit-
ed life have been declared by im-
portant members of the administra-
tion to be the beginning of perma-
nent changes in national policy.
“There has been a continuing
conflict between such officials as to
whether a new social and economic
order is in the making or the old
institutions are being perfected so
that they may be preserved.”
These findings were challenged
by Kenneth Wynne, New Haven,
Conn.; Fred L. Williams, St. Louis,
Mo., and James G. McGowen of
Jackson, Miss. In their minority
report they said: “If the purpose
of the resolution creating the spe-
cial committee‘was to get the opin-
ion of the American Bar association
regarding legislative trends de-
signed to meet changing economic
conditions, the report is superficial.
It does not deal with the problem
but concerns itself with a short
range attack on surface triviali-
ties.”
Congressman Zioncheck
Commits Suicide
\/| ARION A. ZIONCHECK
1V1 brought to an end in char-
acteristic manner his checkered
career and his life. He leaped to
his death from a window of his
office in Seattle shortly after he had
filed for re-nomination to the con-
gressional seat he had held for two
terms. His friends attributed the
suicide to worry over a psy-
chiatrist’s advice that he take a
long rest from politics. His trouble
had been diagnosed as dementia
praecox.
Commerce Department on
Recovery and Public Debt
CECRETARY OF COMMERCE
O ROPER’S department has just
put out a “world economic review”
for 1935 which contains many
interesting state-
ments. It says, for
instance, that
future business
prospects are condi-
tioned in part upon
the possibility of
narrowing the gap
between g o v e rn-
ment expenditures
and receipts. It as-
serted that “the
government deficit A p s,oan
springs from the
root of unemployment, which is
still the major problem confronting
the country.
As to “the part played in the re-
covery to date by the heavy govern-
ment expenditures,” the report said:
“This question : not easily an-
swered, but it is certain that such
outlays have had an influence
in many directions — ior example,
on retail sales, on farm income, on
the growth of bank deposits and on
the prevailing level of interest
The latter statements may well
be compared with the report of
Alfred P. Sloan, president of Gen-
eral Motors, to the stockholders.
Business recovery throughout the
world — in which the United States
has participated — is being gen-
erated by a combination of various
factors, Mr. Sloan explains. In
this country the automobile indus-
try has been helped, he says, by
principal influences. Only one of
these, he points out, has its roots
in the New Deal financial schemes
and he finds that particular influ-
ence a bad one because it creates
a temporary fool’s paradise in
which sales and earnings are bal-
looned by extraordinary govern-
ment expenditures.
Custard pies should first be
started to bake in a hot oven to
set the crust, then the heat of the
oven should be quickly reduced so
that the custard may cook slowly.

Oil Men and Companies
Accused of Conspiracy
/CHARGED by the government
Vj with conspiracy to violate the
anti-trust law by combining to dom-
inate the purchasing of oil in the
Texas, Louisiana
and Oklahoma fields
and to fix prices of
gasoline in the Mid
die West, 58 per-
sons, 23 petroleum
concerns and three
publishing compa-
nies were indicted
by a federal grand
jury "in Madison,
Wis. Among the
prominent defend-
H. M. Dawes ants are Edward G.
Seubert of Chicago, president of
the Standard Oil Company of Indi-
ana; Henry M. Dawes of Evanston,
III., president of the Pure Oil com-
pany, and many officials of Stand-
ard Oil, Pure Oil, Deep Rock, So-
cony-Vacuum and various other oil
concerns and their subsidiaries. Al-
so in the list are Warren C. Platt
of Cleveland, publisher of the Na-
tional Petroleum News and Platt’s
Oilgram; his two publications and
the Chicago Journal of Commerce.
The indictment charged that the
defendant oil companies formed
pools in the east Texas and mid-
continent fields for the purpose of
purchasing gasoline at artificially
high prices from independent pro-
ducers, and in furtherance of such
a scheme were members of associ-
ations which included the indepen-
dents. Further it was charged that
independent refiners to aid the
plan, had curtailed their production
of gasoline.
