Loans Are Abandoned.
The Order of Elks had abandoned
it's policy of advancing loans to for
mer service men, through the Federal
Board for Vocational Education, the
national officers of the order appar-
emily being of the opinion that this
important work should be carried on
by the government. During a debate
in the house on the Sundry Civil bill.
Representative Fess, of Ohio, offered
an amendment to the measure ap-
propriating $4,000 to be used as a
revolving fund for the purpose of
making loans and advances to former
service men, commencing or undergo
ing training under the vocational re-
Mobilization act. The amendment was
lost, however. on point of order, be-
cause it was new legislation which
has no place in general appropria-
tion.
Good Work Accomplished.
In discussing his amendment, Mr..
Fess stated that there were many ap-
plicants for vocational training that
were entirely without funds and If it

PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.--In connec-
tion with the announcement of Rep
resenta tive Will r. Wood of Indiana
that there will be 5000 less govern
ment clerks on the payroll after the
close of the governments present fis-
cal year, July 1, it is interesting to
note that the annual report of the
United States Civil Service commits
sion shows that last July there was
one federal employe to every $50 per-
sons in the United States.
Representative Wood states that the
administrative, legislative and judicial
appropriations bill, of which he will
have charge when it is reported to the
House this week, will provide such a
substantial reduction of appropria-
tions that it will be necessary for
the government to dismiss at least
5000 of it's employees after next July.
Many on Payroll
Referring to the great army of men
and women row on the payroll of the
federal government, the Civil Service
Commission states that an "altogeth-
er rosy picture cannot be painted Of
the situation" The report sets forth
the fact that of those employed in
gainful occupations throughout the
country "one out of every 68 was a
government worker"
There were 480, 600 federal employees
in 1916. Last July there were 100000
federal employees under the civil SER
vice, and there are thousands of men

DAuCHERTY
NOT. To Be
IN CABINET
Ohio Politician Owes Presi-
dent-elect Harding Will
Not Consider Friend for At
torney General.
LACKS QUALIFICATIONS
BY MARK SULLIVAN

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. G.-The
assumption that Harding will offer
the post of attorney general to Harry
Daugherty rests on the theory that
Harding is under obligations to Daugh-
erty. Omittins the fact that the pay
ment of an obligation by means of a
cabinet office would be seriously i'm
proper and contrary to everything we
know of Harding's point-of-view to-
ward his cabinet appointments, even
the theory that Harding is under any
such obligation to Daugherty is in it.
self at fault.
Harding owes little to Daugherty
compared to what Daugherty owes to
Harding. Daugherty was an Ohio
politician who had been through a
chance to get a new lease of political
life by persuading Harding to consent
to let Daugherty use his name as a
candidate for the presidential nomina-
tion. Harding never asked Daugherty
to do something for him; it was
Daugherty who asked Harding Not
merely asked him, but repeatedly So
licited him. Harding didn't ask
Daugherty to be his political manager.
All the initiative and all the solicita-
ton came from Daugherty.
Harding Reluctant.
1t is too complex to go into minute
ly; but any adequate description of
the inception of Harding's candidacy
would say that Harding most reluct-
antly gave UP comparatively certain
reelection to the senate in order to
further Daugherty's political fortunes
in Ohio by letting Daugherty enter his
name for the presidency. That the
venture turned out better than either
Of them anticipated, does not alter the
original balance of the obligations.
incidentally it is of interest now to
recall the fact that Daugherty, in per
suading Harding to run, told Harding
that if the enterprise should be sue
cessful, he, Daugherty, would not en-
barass Harding by asking for or &C
cepting any office. Even under all
this urging on Daugherty's part, Hard
ing gave his consent to run only with
the greatest reluctance. On several
occasions he wanted TO withdraw that
consent and tried to do SO. but yielded
to Daiigferty's opportunities.
Daugherty Benefits.
Daugherty has already had SO much
and more benefit out of the associa-
tion with Harding than he ever hoped
to get. 1t has entrenched him in a
control of Ohio Republican politics
that he could hardly again have
achieved but for his association with
Harding. 1t is in favor of Harding
that the obligation now runs, and not
in favor of Daugherty.
Even if Harding should feel that
Daugherty's position in Ohio politics
would be still further improved by a
tender to him of the Office of Attorney
General, he would rely on Daugherty

CUT IMPROVEMENTS

City Engineer Dell Davis submitted
the annual report of the department
of engineering of the city to the board
of works Thursday morning. The

their construction" the report says.
