WILSON'S ATTITUDE
PLEASES WALSH.
Representatives. Suggestion on
Rider in Postoffice Bill Will
Be Acted Upon.
IFrom a SIAN corresDondent.I

WASHINGTON. Jan. 22-Represen-
tstive Allan Walsh feels somewhat
elated over the prospect Of his orig
final suggestion to the President bei7g
acted upon in the matter OF the rider
to the postoffice bill. 1t was WIFI e
President Wilson was Governor OF
Z New Jersey that the present repre-
sentative from the Fourth dist~i t
suggested that Vt would be 4 wise
thing to have assistant postmasters
undergo a competitive examination
before they were placed under the
civil service protection. This matter
Is now under consideration bv the
postoffice committee. CONGRESSMAN
Moon. who is chairman Of that COM
nittee, is favorably disposed toward
II. If it is adopted by the committee
It will be one way out of the present
quandary. The President has made
II known that he Is not in favor Of
any spoils- gra bling law and would
veto the rider TO the bill ousting the
1000 assistant postmasters. This
subject came under the Taft admin
istration and there wasn't much said
about the spoils system then when
several thousand assistant postmas-
ters were nailed securely IN their Of
ices by placing them under civil SER
vice protection. although no o. them
had found their jobs through the
usual competitive examinations which
are preliminary to civil service pro
lection. The Democratic congressman
who favor this plan say thew cannot
see where it will work any h9rn to
the nation at large The ass slant
postmasters. If placed under civil SER
vice. after a civil service examination
will have won their places.
Another argument used in favor OF
this plan is that If the offices are
thrown open for competitiva exa--i "a
ton those who have hal the benefit
of experience in the office viii stard
the best chance of successfully rass-
ing the requirements set by the civil
Service Commiss In a contrary
way it will eliminate those whr are
unit and who are holding down their
Jobs through their good fortune IN re-
ceiving appointment under a ben gh
Republican administration. So far as
can be ascertained the Pres dent has
expressed no objection to thi- p an
Congressman Allan Wash said to The

the then Governor wilson. he a.

IN better condition than at any time
since the church was built, II. H. Mo-
ser. chairman of the committee. gave
out statement today. The statement
lis in reply to a published statement
regarding the chureh's finances. Mr..
Moser says:
THE finance committee desires to
state that the church s IN as good. IL
not better condition, than 1t has been
in a number of years and, while the
amount of our debt appears to be ex-
traordinary to Mr. Barker's opponents,
our appeal is practically no different
from those made in former years at
this time.
1.-THE interest guarantee fund, viii b
had been provided for by number
of men for a term of years expired
about two years ago. throwi g an ad-
ditional burden of $500 per year on the
church treasury.
I'm addition to this. extraord nary
repairs on the church and parsonage
were found necessary and our fire l.
surance for three years also fe1 due
this year. these items making total
of over $1,000. To this should be
added unpaid Obligations Cor the fiscal
year ending April 1919, Of abo"t
5000. 1t is onlv fair to stete that $3.50
of our present Indebtedness dates back
three years.
"Our appeals have always been met
with hearty response and we wish
to state that since the anneal has
been issued, 60 per cent of thu an'ou Vt
asked for has been raised and assur-
ance has been given that the ba ance
of 40 per cent wili be on hand by
February 1. This vii! clean the slate.
which is something that has not been
done since the church was butt.
HAD it not been for the renewa' OF
interest by the conservation. due TO
Mr. Barker's efforts. the church might
have been bankrupt before this.
