DEMOCRATS PLANNING
ANOTHER SPO|LS GRAB
Aim to Take Deputy Internal
Revenue Collectors from Civil
Service Protection.
TO BE URGED IN CONGRESS
Resolution Will Also Revoke
Taft's Order Relative to
Fourth Glass Postmasters
to Provide More Offices.
from The Tribune Bureau

Washington. MAY "a joint resolution
designed TO oust deputy collectors OF N
ternal revenue and fourth-class postmas-
ters and provide spols for the hungry
Democrats will be introduced this week
and vigorously pushed i'm both houses OF
Congress. The resolution, which has been
drafted by Senator Overman, takes the
Office Of deputy collector out OF the civil
service and revokes the order issued h.
President Taft, placing all fourth class
postmasters in the classified civil service.
Whether President Wilson will become
party to the scheme remains 10 be seen.
as the resolution will require his approval
before II can become 2 law. With the
Presidents approval. the resolution will
have all the force and effect Of law. II
reads as follows:
Resolved. That the order issued by
President Taft under date OF October
.. 1912 placing fourth class postmas-
ters under civil service rules, be and
the same is hereby suspended until
Resolv ed. That any officer or employe

tions to execute bond 10 a superior

rule or regulation made in pursuance
thereof. and the officer requiring said
bond shall have power to revoke the ap-
Dnlufplguf a. such gubOTHinafp pNf-
Ger or employe and appoint his successor

act amendments, rules or regulations
aforesaid
Senator Oyerman is understood 70 have
conferred with the Secretary Of the Treas
ury on the subject and 10 have obtained
Mr.. McAdoo's approval Of the plan.
Deputy collectors OF internal revenue
have been under the protection Of the
civil service laws for years. being respon-
sble to the collector in whose favor their
bonds are executed The scheme is de-
Tended with the contention that As the
collectors are responsible for their depu-
ties they should have the right 10 appoint
them. II Is recognized. however. that the
real motive Is 10 provide places for the
army Of clGmorous office seekers
The resolution ignores the fact that
President Wilson has already modified
President Tafrs order by requiring the
fourth class postmasters 70 pass a COM
petitive examination in order 10 hold their
offices That order is looked on ss an
effort 10 depose the present incumbents

THE CANAL AND THE SOUTH.

From the Los Angeles Examiner
the following relating to Mr.. Henry's
address is taken:
Few Of you, believe" said Con-
gresham Henry, realize what the
canal will mean to you. It will change
the entire commercial map. You will
Immediately feel the effect Your
freight rates will be reduced more
than two.thirds. It will bring you in
close touch with Europe and the East,
and California will come into her own.
Texas and the other gulf states will
be your close neighbors. Whose heart
does not thrill in the contemplation
Of these things?
LOS Angeles will be 5000 miles
nearer New York, and 1t will be in
direct line Of communication with the
East, the halfway station between the
Western and Eastern Hemispheres. I
believe California is destined to be
the greatest theater upon which civil
ization has ever played her part"

The present condition of the rapid

regret for everybody. Just what

yet it is a failure. The only solution
is identification, but how that is to

that we have just simply got to have

to solve their present difficulties.

at this time, but 1t is public matter

lie into its confidence and let them
be known. If 1t wants further CO.
