MERIT ONLY TO WIN
POSTAL SERVICE JOB

Washington, April 13.--Postmas-
ter General Burleson has determin-
ed TO effect the most radical ie-
Organization of the postfl service
ever proposed in the history of civil
reform In this country.
Theplan upon which he Is at work
Is distinguished by these features.
Al postmasters 1hall be placed un-
der civil service and required to pass
examinations for admission, reten-
ton and promotion.
Postmasters shall be appointed and
transfer red without regard to local
ity. so that, for example, a resident
Of san Francisco could be made
Postmaster Of New York and res
ident of Duluth postmaster Of New
Orleans.
The new postmaster general has
told his friends that his highest am
bitlon is to take the postoffice de
partment completely out Of politics
and make it an organization OF the
highest business efficiency.
He has submitted an outline of his
plan to President Wilson, who has
commended 1t enthusiastically and
assured him that ali the influence
the administration possesses will be
,..l ~ ,.,,t tt tt.t, affaof
MIR. Burleson has reached the con
clusion that politics is blight on the
postal service. Postmasters are APP
pointed as a reward for political SER
vices and not for their fitness TO dis
charge the duties of the position eff
ficiently and economically. The re
suit Is that In ninety nine cases out
OF a hundred the political postmaster
takes the appointment merely as a
perquisite.
The postmaster general believes
postmasters should be professional
class. trained In their duties and deyo
ed to the service as life work He
thinks postmaster should not be
restricted 60 one locality, but should
be promoted from the smaller to the
larger communities, according TO
ability displayed
The postmaster general has decid-
ed to subject all fourth-class postmas
ters to q civil service test Those who
pass II viii be retained and those
who do not will be removed This
examination win be oper 20 outsiders
also, and an eligible list of fourth
class postmastors will be established.
II is Mr. Burleson's intention i'm

THE CONSOLIDATION SUITS.

While the statesman feels no great
amount of interest In any OF the rail
road consolidation bills which the
last Legislature passed. Il can see no
good reason why Attorney General
Looncy should not agree TO postpone
suits TO test several of the merger
bills pending the out come of the
Katy suit, provided, of course, the
railroads agree that the failure OF
the State TO sue at this time shall
not be considered a waiver Of States
rights In the other cases which are
possible under the last legislature
There Is difference of opinion
among the lawyers as to the con
I'utionaiity OF merger bills MIR
Looney. for instance. thinks that the
Katy case is n plain ease OF unconsti
tutionality while the Katy attor-
neys take just as firm a position in
The opposite direction. In other mer-
gers passed Boy the last Legislature.
the question may not be identical
with those I'm the Katy suit. but the
principle Is the same
There Is no good reason why the
State should rush headlong into the
other cases until II secs what its
lights are o. would simply mean
that much unnecessary expense
should IL be found that the Governor
and the Attorney General have not
taken sound legal position
The Statesman does insist. how
ever, that the test case shall be rush

other than the actual occupant VINO
deyotes such lands through his own
personal efforts to beneficial pur-
poses. such provision says Mr. VIII
llams. would prevent these lands
coming into the hands Of spectators
and would gradually build up an
area IN the state free from specu-
lntlve holdings
n the state ever engages In the
tasl, Of providing homes for the peo-
ple by the purchase and resale OF
land. the provision suggested by Mr..
Williams should be Incorporated In
the law Were it not that most OF
the public domain suitable for home
stepds he's been sold. It might be
well to insert such provision in our
state land laws II this had been done
quartcd OF century ago there
would be many more homes I'm Texas
todoy owned by their occupants and
less land held in large tracts for
speculation.
Whatever one may think of Mr..
Marks plan to provide homes for
the people, oil thoughtful men VIII
agree with Commissioner Williams
when he says "A government which
by force of operation of It's laws
creates a landed aristocracy, support
cd by the labor OF n tenant and part
Tally peoned class, is certainly blund-
ering and foolish Fort Worth Re
cord.
The Marks theory endorsed by
Mr.. williams Is so closely bordering
or socialism that Il is surprising that
the Fort Worth Record should come
so near advocating IT, II Is difficult,
In this free country to understand
how land owners shall be forced TO
sell their lands and It is equally
hard to understand how a purchas-
or could be compelled TO keep II for
over. Under such Fystcm there
could be no absolute title to land,
but each occupant would be per
mitted TO squat" on a property only
so long cs he performed the func
lions Of oitizenrhip. or I'm some
other fellow should jump his claim.
There are thousands Of acres Of land |
In West Texas to be bought at rea-

THE POWER OF THE PRESS
IN LEGISLATION
Houston, Texas, April IL, 1913.
To The Editor of Signal,
Snyder, Texas.

Snyder, Texas.
Dear sir:
The married woman's bill is now
a law in Texas, and to you is due
much OF the credit for its passage.
The change made by the law as
passed by the legislature and approx
ed by the Governor, March 81, 1913,
Is the greatest change made in the
property rights OF this state since
the adoption Of the constitution and
the LEGAL status of women In Texas
has taken long step forward. The
effect OF the law is to give them alb
soute and exclusive control and dis
position of all separate property,
both real and personal, as well as
their personal earnings, subject only
to the limitation that they cannot
dispose OF or cucumber their real
estate or transfer stocks aud bonds
without the joinder Of the husband.
To the five hundred and nine news
papers of this state and to the De
lineator IL due much OF the success
Of this measure. We never could have
reached the people and made them
aware OF the need of the reform leg
islation without that great public ed
ucator THE PRESS. want you to
know that the women OF Texas thank
you. | want you to know that send
to you my lasting gratitude for your
assistance.
