Washington Growth Fanned by New Deal Bureaucracy
Washington gains about 22 percent in population from 1930 to 1935 as federal growth fills offices and streets. The city’s prosperity outpaces national growth, with crowded apartments, busy stores, and abundant government jobs drawing workers. Critics note taxpayer costs beyond workers’ salaries as bureaucrats expand in the capital.

Unmasking a Platform Fight on Old Age Pensions and Reserves
The Wall Street Journal critiques a Republican platform plank calling for older age pensions funded by a pay as you go tax system. It argues payroll taxes burden labor, inflate costs, and tempt lower payrolls, while opposing a persistent reserve funded by future government obligations. It labels the Social Security Act flaws as payroll tax and the reserve concept. The piece portrays the plan as economically flawed and politically risky.

Russia adopts new constitution amid move toward democracy
Stalin proposes a Soviet Union reform shifting power from a single party to a bicameral legislature with a directly elected people’s house and a federated senate. Judges and police become answerable to an attorney general elected by Congress, while the president is chosen jointly by both houses. The plan signals a radical, though uncertain, drift toward broader popular governance in contrast to fascist backdrops.

Public Office a Public Trust in Civil Service Politics
The piece argues federal control over private enterprise is misused when politics drive hiring. It cites 235,000 new federal workers in three years, few under Civil Service rules, and a drop from 81 percent Civil Service in 1929 to 57 percent by mid-1935. It contrasts Jacksonian spoils with merit principles and recalls Calhoun on offices as public trusts. It weaves in editorial reflections and anecdotes on headlines and writing.
