COMMERCE COM
MISSION NEEDS ENGINEERS

Washington, D. c.. July 3.-The Uni
ted States Civil Service Commission
states that the Interstate Commerce
Commission is making every effort to
expedite the valuation of common car
riers.
The Importance OF hurrying this
work is evident, in view Of the law
which provided for the return of trans
portation properties to private con-
troll and which specifics that the Inter-
state Commerce Commission shall ad-
just rates so as to insure a fair re-
turn upon the aggregate value of the
railway property of carriers, the ba-
sis being the valuation made by the
commission.
1t is stated that the Office technical
force of the commission is now engag-
ed in the computation and assembly
Of the large amount of data furnished
. by the field engineers For this office
work the commission needs architects
and engineers (civiD, mechanical,
electrical, structural, signal, telegraph
and telephone). Senior architects
and engineers are offered entrance
i salaries from $1,000 to $1,000 a year;
| Junior engineers, $3.50 to 1920; jun
Tor architects, 1890 to 1920. Rodmen
and chairmen at 500 to $1,000 will
also be appointed in the field and office
forces. Employees are given a daily
allowance for subsistence as wen as
transportation expenses. when away
on official business, and are also al
lowed the increase of $40 month
granted by Congress. The prospects
for promotion are said to be good.

It is reported here that the Cana
dian government is about to TAKE steps
to prevent the further exporta1ioA Of
pulp paper into the United States,
thus further curtaiIing the available
output. Owners of American mills are
preparing still more boosts Of prices
and this in spite Of the fact the mills
have piled up larger profits in the
past year than ever before. There Is
lot Of skull-duggery in this situation
and Publisher Harding or Publisher
Cox knows where the wool has been
pulled over the eyes of the investiga-
tors. They have botn been the vic
tins of the game as ii IL now being
played.
: 1t has doubtless occurred to both
candidates that raw paper has aeccme
as much of a necessity to the present
generation as railroad transportation
which has absorbed the attention Of
so many experts in AMI ous Of Con-
gress, and that it is rs mucn the func.
ton Of government to protect the read
ers of newspapers as it is to look aft

citizens who hold stocks in railroads.

NEW RIGGS MAKE
GOOD RECORD

Very favorable reports have just
been received by the United States
Department Of Agriculture from the
South regarding the condition Of the
extensive planting made this spring
OF Acadia and Fartuna rice new varie-
ties developed by the department at
the Crowley Rice Station in Louisiana
in cooperation with the Louisiana
Agricultural Experiment Station.
These two rices are among the best
selected from a study of more than
1000 different kinds at the Crowley
station. Their Importance is demon
strated in part by the large yields OBJ
tanned. Last year under field condi-
tions an average yield of 5,155 pounds
of rough rice from the fortuna on 35
acres of very old land. Both Of these
records are excellent and give an in
dication of the large production which
may be expected this year on a much
larger acreage, If weather conditions
continue favorable. Eventually It Is
the purpose of the department to
make these new varieties Of seed
available to all growers, through the
markets, thereby benefiting them and
the industry as whole.

Paris, July 17.-That Georges Gle
menceau. the former Premier has de-
finitely withdrawn from active politics
and worries little about criticism
levelled at him by enemies OF his re-
gime and of the Versailles Treaty,
was shown the other day when the
correspondent Of The Associated Press
called on him to obtain his reply to
the taunts of his adversaries in the
Chamber of Deputies to the effect that
he did not know where Mosul (Tur-
key was located when he ceded it
to Great Britain
'These professors of geography,
who are criticizing me" replied the
former Premier, would be greatly
embarrassed If some one should ask
them the location of town of that
size in their own circumscriptions."
M. Clemenceau was engaged in the
task Of putting the finishing touches
on the first draft of noval dealing
with Egyptian life, said he was

air conditions improved and the rest

storm in the Hakone, was made in

One Of the most difficult parts Of
his flight to Toxic, he explained, was
between Rangoon and Bangkok where
very heavy fogs were encountered
making it extremely difficult to keel
on the course. Between Ubon anC

Warren G. Harding was born i'm
Corsica Morrow County, o., on No
vember 2, 1865. His mother was a
Dickerson. He engaged in the news
paper business when quite young and
learned the printers trade. Along
with newspaper work he has prac-
ticed politics. He is now member
Of the United States Senate.
James M. Cox was born at Jack
sonburg, O., March 81, 1870. When
young man he worked on farm,
later was a printer, taught school,
was a reporter and is now the owner
and publisher of the Daily Dayton
News. He was in congress and is
now serving his third term as COVER
nor of Ohio.
Like Harding, Mr. Cox is news
paper man. We do not know who
Mr.. Hardings chief editorial writer
is, but Mr.. George F. Burba has
served in that capacity for many
years for Mr.. Cox.
Mr.. George F. Burba was born in
LaRue Count, KY, near Hodgens-
vile and in this same neighborhood
Abraham Lincoln was born.
So we will have newspaper pub
Usher for president and he will be
from Ohio.
Hitherto, we have drawn most of
our presidential candidates either
from the army or the law library.
Lincoln was a lawyer; Grant was a
soldier; Hayes was lawyer and sol
der; Garfield was a. lawyer, soldier
and politician; Cleveland was law
yer; Harrison was lawyer and a
great one; Mckinley was a lawyer
and soldier; Roosevelt was soldier
and literary man; Taft was lawyer
and a Judge; Mr.. Wilson was an edu'
Gator and a literary man, and next
year we shall have a publisher.
Journalism has never been the road
to high political preferment in Amer
| lea. If Cox and Harding had both
been editors and not owners and pub
fishers Of the paper it is probable
that neither would have been nomi
nated.-Memphis Commercial Appeal
