WANT U. S. TO BOOST GOOD ROADS

Secretary Wilson of the department
of agriculture has received a petition
signed by eight American delegates
who attended the recent international
road congress at Brussels requesting
that his department consider the ad-
visibility of the United States govern
ment becoming a member of the Per
manent International Association OF
Road Congresses. The office of pub
lie roads is part of the department
of agriculture. and for this reason the
matter was put up to the secretary for
his consideration.
The special significance of the peti.
ton is that It discloses the fact that
the United States, which has the most
extensive system of roads of any
country in the world, has been one of
the three slowest nations TO join the
International Road association now
formally adhered to by 26 govern
ments. Italy and England are the
only other large countries which have
not Joined 7
The nations of Europe have gone
long way ahead of the United States
in road work, particularly in the mat
nance. and experts say that for this
reason this country win benefit Inn
mensely in the advantage of collabora-
ton made possible by membership In
the international congress. France,
for instance, with its almost perfect
system of roads, sends one and one
third times as much freight over her
public highways as is carried by the
railroads. The freight traffic on the
roads of other European countries il
almost as heavy. In this country con-
ditions are reversed and 1t is estima-
ted that the railroads carry nearly
four times as much freight as the pub
lie roads. Yet railroad development
depends, engineers say. on the good
roads which open up and make access
sible the country adjacent to the
lines.
The department OF agriculture now
has the petition under consideration
and, If approval is given. congress viii
be asked this coming winter for the
small appropriation necessary for this
country's membership dues.

a. % the number of persons who Will
DO brought into t. competitive CLASSIC
ned service until a further analysis OF
the eject of the order has been made
There were on July /, 1909, 2,105 as
sistant postmasters In first and second
class post Offices. and on the dato
named there were e14 second ciass
post offices in which city free delivery
had not been established, In which
there were employed LAG clerks who
were unclassified. A considerable
number of these second class offices
have since been classified by the es-
adjustment of city free delivery. thus
reducing the number of clerks who
are classified ana who will be affected
by the present order 1t is probable,
however. that the total number of per
sons affected will be in the neighbor-
hood of $500.
Some regret is being expressed by
civil service reformers that the presi-
dent did not accompany this new or
der with one covering all the fourth
class postmasters In the country into
the classified service. At present the
fourth class postmasters of IA states
the territory east of the Mississippi
river and north of the Ohio river-are
In the classified service. The number
of fourth class postmasters in these
IL states is about $4,000. The total
number of fourth class postmasters In
the country is 52.942. so as will be
seen. not quite half the postmasters In
this class are in the classified serv-
ice.
1t was said at the civil service com
mission recently that the policy will
undoubtedly be to fill the places of as
sistant postmasters by the promotion
of postoffice employees already in the
classified service. Postmaster General
Hitchcock desires that this policy
shall be pursued rather than a policy
under which men unfamiliar with the
duties of the office would be brought
in through competitive examinations.
and the civil service commission sup
ports the postmaster generals views

RENoVATING THE CAPITOL.

The capitol has recently undergone
a thorough house cleaning and reno
waiting. Over 200 workmen have been
laboring with paint brush, mallet and
chisel for months to improve the
building Among the numerous big
changes is that of using the power
plant Of southeast Washington, which
will transmit heat and light through
more than a mile of tunnel TO the
capitol, the office building and the
congressional library.
All the rooms, stairways, etc, have
been painted and vanished. For
year after year paint and varnish
have been put on the walls and stair
ways until It viii no longer stick, but
peels off. leaving unsightly spots.
This year the cleaning went so deep
that all of the old paint was sandps-
pered OF and the new coats put di-
rectly on the walls. The painting of
the dome and capitol combined has
been an enormous task. 1t has been.
estimated that II one man only were
to tackle the Job 1t would take him
about FIVE years to complete it.

The order signed by President Taft
placing in the classified service assist
ant postmasters and such clerks in
certain classes of post offices as are
not now within the civil service. does
not take effect until December 1. An
important feature of the order is that
assistant postmasters who cannot pre-
sent an efficiency record will not have
the advantage of the order. The Off
cial text of the order is as follows:
1T is hereby ordered that the posi-
ton of assistant postmaster in post
offices of the first and second classes
and also the position OF clerk, of what
ever grade, in post offices of the first

fed, shall be included in the classified

postmaster or clerk appointed without
examination prior to this examination
shall be classified who fails to estab-
lish TO the satisfaction OF the post
office department his capacity for eff

WOULD TAKE STATES LAW.
Forest Service Would Cut Off Their Q!
Per Cent of the Receipts.

A movement has been started by the
forest service virtually TO nullify the
law giving to western states 25 per
cent of the receipts from forest re-
serves within their borders for school
and road purposes.
The proposition was brought before
the agricultural committee to amend
this law so as to give the secretary of
agriculture the right to go into every
state and investigate how this money
is being expended by the state and to
shut off payments to states whenever
he is convinced the fund is not being
used for schools or roads.
Funds so taken from states are to
be given to the forest service.
