FERRIS SUGGESTS
PATRONAGE PLAN
WOULD FILL ALL PLACES WITH
ATS-APPOlNTIvE AND
ELECTIVE.

Washington, d. c.. Dec. 7.-'Besieged
with demands for patronage on all
sides the democrats, who will assume
charge of the national government in
March are seeking a way out. Repre-
sentative Ferris Of Oklahoma, today
prof. osed a scheme to his colleagues
in congress which is being given fav-
vorable consideration by all and is
an idea decidedly new. Instead Of
promscously dividing the patronage
Mr.. Ferris would have it allowed by
states and according to each states
strength in the electoral college.
In speaking of the plan he said.
"The question of an equitable distri-
button of patronage by the incoming
administration is an immensely i'm
portant one. In the first place, am
in favor of filing all places with DEM
ocrats so that the president and the
democratic congress may be support
ed and assisted by every arm of the
government, whether elective or not.
In the second place think the sal
aries of any position should be added
W and each state should be permit
ted to consume that per cent of the
total patronage that it's voting
strength in the electoral college bears
to the whole. For instance, Oklaho-
ma has ten electoral votes and there
are 531 in the aggregate, hence Ok
lahoma should have that percentage
OF patronage that ten electors bear
to the 531 electors.
Third, this of course solves the
patronage problem but partially. 1t
must be followed by requests from
the various congressional delegations
Stating what position their states
should have this to be followed by a
decision on the part of the appointing
power as to what positions he will
FL. from each state to take up the
total amount of patronage allotted to
that state.
Then it will be necessary for each
candidate in a state to run only for
offices allotted to that state. In this
way each state will get its share of
the patronage. In this way the
friends at home will know what po-
sitions are to be had by citizens Of
their state. BY this system no state
will be sighted and no campaigns
waged for positions that will never
be allotted to that state.
This solves only the national fu-
lures of patronage. I think the dele
cations from the several states can
ia orderly way settle on choices for
each of the places assigned. This
will not interfere with the regular
means of distributing state patronage
within state which, under the rules
belongs to senators and congressman.
