Congress. Lacks Authority.

Now. as to Congress-: Is Congress
the employer OF the Federal worker?
Again, no: IL is true that Congress ap-
propriates his salary, but 10 has no
authority to supervise his work. The
often-stated evil of divided authority
can be traced in the case of the Feo-
eral employee with special force; on
the one hand, his department head SUI
pervises his work; on the other, Con-
gress pays him; and so long as this IL
the fact his political connections will
be of far more Importance to his ad-
vancement than the efficiency of his
work
I'm order to discuss intelligently
the second suggestion have made as
10 the bases OF faults in the Govern
ment service Of. the United States.
namely, that one OF them is the impo-
sition upon. a scheme of Federal EN-
ployment founded on the spoils sys-
tenn of a few -so-called civil service
rules entirely at variance with this
groundwork, 1t may be advisable to
consider for few moments the his
tory OF the Federal civil service.
Before doing this, however, l would
like to remark that while the first
point I have commented on can not,
on account of the routine character OF
much Government work, be more than
partially remedied, this second one is,
in my opinion, wholly unnecessary
and artificial, and should receive the
earnest attention not only OF our Gov
eminent trade unions but also OF all
public minded citizens.

why ONE MORE
LOAN IS NEEDED
It Will Settle Nations War
Debts and Will Care for
Sick and Wounded.

Once in a while some one asks:
What's the need Of another Liberty
Loan now that the war is over?"
Revenue from taxes will not be suf.
hcient to pay all the bills, so the
people will be called upon to provide
the money by subscribing to govern
ment bonds. This money is goins to
pay of the army of producers at home
the farmers, merchants, manufac.
turers and others.
America had just begun to fight
when the Hun decided it was time to
quit. Allied leaders expected the war
to last another year and the United
States government was turning out
ships. arms, ammunition and food to
overwhelm Germany in one big
drive.
Treasury officials have revealed
that in 1919 America would have had
q tank at the front for every seventy
i've feet Of line. We would have had
ten tons Of mustard gas ready for
shipment for every ton Germany
could produce Thousands of batter.
les Of guns would have been in act
ion for every one America had in 1918.
Everything else was being produced
In proportion.
This gigantic preparation brought
an early end to the war and saved
Thousands Of lives. Victory Liberty
Bonds will pay for this work which
had been contracted for and was be-
ing delivered when the armistice was
signed
There are other purposes for which
money is need. Part of our army Of
1000 900 men must be kept in Europe
until the peace treaty is signed.
These soldiers must be fed. clothed
and otherwise maintained. Then they
must be brought home.
The sick and wounded must be car
ed for in hospitals. The army must
be demobilized. There are thousands
Of manned soldiers, heroes Of the
great war, who must be taught self
supporting trades and given an oppor-
tunity to earn their living.
This reconstruction work at home
must be carried on. The job must be
finished. The American people who
furnished the money to win the war
must supply it also to bring the na.
ton back to peace basis.

FARM PROFITS
WILL AID LOAN
Rural Business Men Are Well
Able to Take Up Their
Share in the victorious"
Fifth.

More than ever before the American
farmer finds himself in the position
OF comfort and prosperity which il
his just due. Lean years are for him
no longer. Last year the average Of
farm earnings broke all records. Six
million farms in 1918 produced crops
worth $12,2SO, 100000.
This year it is estimated that a
greater wheat acreage than ever will
be sown. Naturally, the farmer is
making the most Of his opportunities.
and with guaranteed wheat prices
and high prices for everything hs
grows, the outlook for him is most
encouraging. Aud Europe will fur
aish market for his fat hogs and
steers
1t would be interesting, il possible,
to assemble comparative statements
OF the farmers bank accounts now
and five years ago. and the list Of
mortgages that have been cancelled.
And it would be more interesting pei
haps to have statement of the Lin.
erty Bonds now in the hands Of these
tillers of the soil.
Very soon the farmer will have fur
ther opportunity to prove that he is
not without loyalty as we'll developed
as any mans. For another loan is
almost in sight, a loan that will draw
upon US all.
Because Of his price guarantee Of
$2.26 a bushel. Uncle Sam stands to
lose from so to Is cents upon ever
bushel Of wheat harvested next seas.
on. Having given this guarantee to
the farmer, be will make it good
That is Uncle Sans way. But what
is Mr. Farmer going to do for Uncle
Sam in the Victory Liberty Loan!
In every Liberty Loan to date the
farmer. as a class. has bought less
bonds than men in other prosperous
classes. He has been able meantime
TO get more sugar and everything
else upon which the government put
4 restriction, than others have.
The big question now. when he
stands to cash in at Is per cent
premium upon his wheat crop, is what
is he going to do next Liberty Loan
drive?
Some Liberty Loan officials are
suggesting that the farmer should
buy a 500 bond for each 100 bushels
| of wheat he sells to the government.
He has made the profit and should
have no hesitancy in taking a high
grade security in payment for the DIFF
ference between what the govern
ment gets and what be receives fos
his wheat.

From L. H. Cromer.
Brion-sur-Ource, France
February %, 1919.

Dear Mr.. Tolley:-
1--WE are now getting. along fairly
well again. A week or so ago our
schedule was slightly changed by
prefxing one hour, which, of course,
somewhat went against the grain
with the "sons Of iberty"-better
known as "the sons of rest" in civil
life-and the fact that. some good
influence has had the effect Of re-
moving the better part of the affM
and prefix, we are again settled and
are getting along about as well as
could be expected, intact, much bet
ter than | thought probable from my
first impression Of France. l don't
mean to convey the idea that we
have gotten things arranged here
just like we had them in our homes,
or even like the camps in the States,
still we are faring well compared
to what we did when we first landed
in France, and what fell to our lot
while on the front.
Most of the fellows in the line
companies had a harder time Of it on
the front than we of the intelligence
sections, though we were on duty "a
hours day there the same as they.
This does not mean that we were
up and going all this time, as we
were arranged in reliefs and took
turns at our posts. The part | was
playing on the last front was to stay
at some good point of observation
behind our lines and find out all that
| could about the enemy without
letting them find out that / had
learned anything. The first part
that of getting information Of the
enemy, | do not konw that ! did so
well; but the second part was car
ried out excellently, for a German
mind reader could never have told
that | had found out anything con-
cerning their plans OF operations, for
| had not. | don't think any of the
other fellows of our detail found out
very much more than |, though there
have been some awful tales manu- ,
factured concerning what was found
out about the boche. Some of our
fellows really found out quite bit
about the boche, but | am of the
opinion that the boys who got good
dope on the boche were the guys
who donned a German uniform and
went into their lines and con-
veyed the information to our lines.
Of course these fellows were not
chosen from the rank and file, and
it did not fall to my lot to be asso-
ciated with them. imagine that is
quite fascinating work, but seems
most too dangerous for me.
Well, unless the bolshevists Cd
cause US some trouble, | guess our
long hikes and sleeping in horse
stables are about over, and some
time between now and another new
years Johnnie (or Pete) will come
marching home, thanking his star
that his sojourn in France was not
so prolonged as it might have been.
As ever,
"Pete".
