program. 1t is predicted that with the
Republican party pledged, through its
president-elect and national platform,
to great and comprehensive plan,
that development may be expected to
take place, if not during the short
session, at the regular session in
March.
When such news as this, coupled
with the avowed declaration of former
opponents of reclamation on impor-
tant house committees, that they could
now see reason for strong federal
program, it is our belief that we may
be optimistic.
beginning Wednesday, November
"a, a representative of the Western
States Reclamation association began
a series of conferences in Washing
ton with political and legislative lead
ers with the intention of recommend
ing to the executive committee of the
association the complete suggestions
as to the part which the association
must play during the short session
and if necessary heading up to the
regular session in furthering our
cause.
'In connection with the results of
the recent election, it is interesting
to repeat the platform declaration of
the Republican party, which said:
We favor fixed and comprehen-
sive policy of reclamation We recog-
nize in the development of reclama-
tion through Federal action with it's
increase of production and taxable
wealth as safeguard for the nation
We commend to Congress a policy
to reclaim lands and the establish
ment of a fixed national policy Of de-
velOpment of natural resources in re-
lation to reclamation through the now
designated agencies
con August 80, speaking before a
group Of western governors who call
ed to pay their respects, Senator War
ren G. Harding, (now president elect
while giving an extremely favorable
address said among other things:

no region in the world whose re-
sources could be developed to the ut

the short session.
AT the August meeting of the ex-
ecut1ve committee and representatives
of the leading western railroads. a
sufficient budget was planned and it's
probable expenditures outlined to
take care of the matters of the West
ern States Reclamation association
and its activities through the short
session. This budget anticipated the
publicity and legislative plan outlined
at that meeting. 1t covered the mat
ter of the different states in the as
sociation paying the balance of it's
original budget created a year ago in
Salt Lake City and like amount was
pledged from the railroads represent
ed. This was considered at the Au-
gust meeting to be sufficient for the
associations needs and was formed af-
ter due consideration had been given
to accomplishments during the year
and the necessities of the future.
ut was advised at that time that
each state be communicated with in
view of our impending sessions of leg
islatures and that these legislatures
be asked to approriate an amount
equal to the original sum apportioned
to the different states, to be used
when needed in future activities of
the association. Los Angeles Exam

GREAT RECLAMATION PROGRAM

That members of Congress from
western states are equally organizing
to develop a $3O0,00O,OOO reclamation
program, and that the results of their
work may become apparent as early
as the short session at he beginning

HARDNESS IN SMYTH'S OFFICE

ITO SAY the least, it is regrettabIe that the
l. law department should hamper the work
of classifying salaries and positions in the
municipal service.
City Solicitor Smyth's department is the
only branch of the city government which
has not yet supplied the claSsitiers with the
necessary data as basis for the proposed
Standardization. Mr.. SIryths chief clerk
explains that vacations have intcrfprcd with
co operation between the law department
and the corp of experts engaged by the
Civil Service Commission.
But the city solicitors Office is not UNIQUE
among city Offices in enjoying vacations.
The chief clerk also says that the classi-
fiers have been tardy in sending the classif
cation cards. To all this, the manager for
the claSsifers iutimates that the real cause
OF delay has been certain remisSness from
the beginning on the part of the law de-
partmcnt.
The cl0Ssiforv therefore frankly express
the fear that they may not be able to include
recommendations concerning the law de-
partmcnt in the final report to City Council
which must >" made by September II. A
desire to forward the work of standardiza-
tiOn would not permit the classifers 10 be-
bampered either by IA lack Of data or by
pressure Of time.
IL is unfortunate that this particular
office, Of all Offices under the law, was not
among the first to help in the standardisa-
tiOn movement.

REGISTRARS AND THE SEXES

THE doubts that are expressed over the
l. availability OF women as registrars ap-
pear to be- grounded more in the cnbarrass.
nient resulting from II rush Of political novel
ties than in any consistent Interpretation of
the law.
Commissioner Fell is inclined to think
that the rule requiring registrars to have
lived for Il year within the division from
which they are appointed temporarily rem
ders woman ineligible, since, rs she has
not been an elector for a year. she has in
the technical sense not "lived' in the dis
trict prior to the ratification Of the suffrage
amendment.
Such reasoning may be questioned If
such reading of the law can be justified,
then what becomes Of wOman's right Of
vote In the coming election? The statutes
insist that she shall have lived in the state
for a year. by strict analogy her voting
privilege is shadowed by the fact that she
has not dwelt in the commonwealth for
twelve months ia the capacity of elector.
Such a quibbling deduction, however, will
obviously not hold in this case and there

AUTO SAFETY AND SENSE

NF COURSE, if the regulations regarding
" automobile traffic were made prohibitory
the police department could point with pride
to the security of the city streets We should
be as free from motor accidents as Venice.
Superintendent Mills may be dreaming of
some such relief TO shattered nerves when
be contemplates, as he is reported to be
doing, the promulgation of rule forbidding
persons from riding in the front seats with
drivers of automobiles.
Such an edict if enforced would be an
effective way of ridding the town of virtually
all of its two passenger cars. Riding alone
Is almost as much fun as occupying two
seats at the theatre.
As it is, motoring in Philadelphia is
rather more a necessity than recreation.
Narrow streets are the root of the difficulty
and many of the restrictions. though vexing,
are warranted because of peculiar physical
conditions. The one-w way traffic rules are
warranted in many instances and have on
the whole worked well.
But the multiplication of restrictions is
not an engaging prospect. Public safety.
which naturally is paramount issue. can be
maintained without an invasion Of the social
rights of auto owners and drivers.
1t is to be hoped that Superintendent Mills
has been doing nothing more harmful than
giving free rein 10 his fancy.

Mr.. HAYS'S STATEMENT

CHAIRNIAN WILL HAYSS statement
~ concerning the Republican campaign
fund before the Senate investigators was
clear cut and straightforward. Its candor
and completeness will convince all but blind
partisaus of the Democratic party. 1t dis
poses very effectually of Mr.. Cox's foolish
exaggerations.
Mr.. Hays's counter charges that the
Democrats are raising a much larger fund
and that the liquor interests are involved
undoubtedly will engage the attention of the
Senate committee. Until the truth or falsty
of them can be determined by supporting
evidence. fair minded people will prefer to
reserve Judgment.
Already the reconvened sessions of the
committee have served a good purpose They
should continue until every scrap of evidence
bearing on either the Republican or Demo
cratic drives for contributions can be ex-
amined and weighed in the light of the
publicity that beats upon its proceedings.
Before they are ended, it is fair guess
that politicians of high and low degree in
both parties will learn new lessons in the
virtue of conducting the presidential cam
paign with decency and respect for the.
truth. The boomerang is already on the re-
turn fight.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1920-08-31

seems to be little sanction for its operation
in the other.
The registration commissioners are not
compelled to appoint women to serve as
registrars. The right Of option in this mat
ter exists and il is likely that 1t will be
exercised to prevent an already difficult stu
alton from becoming still more complicated.
Tie assessors and the registrars will have
their hands full this week. Experienced
officials are needed. The appointment of the
$40 new registrars had perhaps best be drawn
from the sex that has had practical political
training But il is certainly twisting what
seems to be the clear intent Of the law to
imply that the regulations stand in the way
of women appointees.
As matter cf fact. when all the technical
machinery is adjusted excellent results may be
expected from women registrars. At present
however, members of the newly enfranchsed
sex can afford to be patient. They have
number of important acts to perform. Care
should be taken today and tomorrow to see
that their names have been placed upon the
assessors lists. On both days the assessors
will sit in the division polling quarters.
Thursday is the first registration day. The
women will be kept fairly busy complying
with the formalitcs. BY the time another
year rolls around it may prove a desirable
thing to balance the sexes in the posts of the
registration officials.

RETREAT

A GARDEN filled with briar and yellow
n rose,
Pale lavender and dropping jcssamine,
An arbor where the honeysuckle grows,
A corner where the yellow sunfowers
shine.
A cottage with small windows open wide
To catch the whisper of the quiet day,
A little wood beyond, where branches hide
A river, singing all along its way.
All these are mine-and here the MONDAY
sun,
With pensive beauty all the garden fills.
And after sunset, when the day is done,
The wind blows softly from the cloudy
hills.
And all the leaves are lifted In the vale.
To the long music of the nightingale.

the miners are idle so often that minimum
wage of fifty cents an hour is deceptive, for
the net income for n year is not anywhere
near so much as that wage would give to a
worker employed twelve months.
The operators, however, have explained
that they cannot run the mines at their full
capacity when there is no demand for coal.
They have no storage facilities, they say.
They charge the railroads with failure to
provide them with enough cars to carry the
coal away as fast as it is mined But some
of them have been charged by the Pennsyl-
yania Railroad with bribing railroad employees
to show favoritism in the allotment Of cars.
The public is aware that when they have
expected a strike they have piled up vast
quantities of coal to supply a certain de-
mand.
Instead Of solving the coal problem, those
connected with it seem to have devoted them
selves to finding excuses for the existing
mudde.
If no better way out can be found the
public would welcome the appointment of a
commission, with Mr.. Hoover, or some other
qualified expert, at its head, to study the
whole question and make recommendations,
the adoption of which would not only re-
duce the price of coal to the consumer, but
would enable him to get it when he wants
it.
AT present, the small householder is find
ing it difficult if not impossible to get coal
for his kitchen range. to say nothing of coal
to feed his furnace with next winter.
With coal enough in the ground to supply
the nation for hundreds of years it seems
as If we ought to have ingenuity enough in
the whole country, if not in Pennsylvania,
where the anthracite beds lie, to find a way
to get it out at fair prices as fast as needed.
