TEST FOR THE CHARTER

HNHE authority with which the new
i charter invests the Civil Service
Commission is recognized by Mayor
Moore in withdrawing his objections to
the ordinances increasing the pay OF
1000 employees in the water. highway
and service bureaus. If these bills are,
ns alleged, unfair to other city work
ers, there is at least hcartening chance
that the discrepancies will not be per-
manent.
An important provision of the charter
declares that 1.-THE commission shall
adopt. amend and enforce rules for tho
classified service, which shall have the
force and effect of law Its findings
are, therefore. not simply suggestive
but coercive.
a test of their effectiveness is coming
sincef the commission has already been
empowered to rcclassify and rcgradc the
employees in the city service and to make
full report on the subjcc' by Octo-
Der /. The investigation does not come
too soon. All the city department
grades are badly in need Of rcarraugc-
nent along equitable lines.
Such plans Of favoritism as may be
now nfoQt stand n hopeful prospect of
being brought into the open IL the com
mission lives up to its responsibilities.

WHAT obligation rests upon the gov
w crnmcut as a source Of news?
What obligation rests upon the press
in printing news announced by the
government!
A few years ago there was great agi-
tation in Congress and elsewhere over
tainted news.
The greatest source of tainted news
today is the government.
The practice got great impetus during
the war. when it was held that op-
timistic but usually untrue announce
ments had to be made in order to keep
UP the courage Of the people.
When the whole airplane program
had failed, a glowing story had to be
put out about the shipping of American
airplanes.
1t goes on today.
The cure for social disorder or for
the high cost of living is generally u
false announcement from Washington.
When the railroad strike broke out,
Attorney General Palmer called the
press together and asserted that the
strike was the work of revolutionists. y
lie indicated pretty clearly at the
time that his object in making this
statement was to turn the public against
the strikers and to influence the work
crs who had not yet struck not to join
the strike.
Some say such tactics. like the air.
plane announcements during the war,
we're justfablc because the aim was
worthy.
But where finally does this method
leave the government:
What kind of a government shall we
have when the people get not to believe

Discriminatory duties are said to be
impossible because they arc forbidden
by treaties. But it is argued that trea-
ties are subject to revision.
Subsidies are opposed on the theory
that they are a grant by the government
to big business at the expense of the
rest of us. But opposition to subsidies
is raised almost exclusively when ap-
piled to ocean shipping.
The protective tariff is in essence a
subsidy, for it forces the foreign pro
Queer to, pay for the privilege of com
netting with the domestic producer in
the home market. We have learned
