President Harding has fixed things
so the administration can to a certain
extent use its judgment in appointing
poStmasters. He has issued an order
affecting about 1900 pOstOfiices of the
first second and third classes, author.
izing the selection Of any one of the
first three applicants on the eligible
list as determined by open competitive
examinations. Under an order of
President Wilson the one at the head
of the list had to be appointed Presi-
dent Harding said the new arrange.
ment was made to permit business
training and experience to be consid-
cred, and so that the choice would not
be based merely on "a clolsteroi,
scholastic examination which might re.
suit in high grade in theory, but not
a guaranty of efficiency in fact"

BY vote of 63 to % the senate last
week passed the emergency tariff bill
only one Republican-Moses Of New
Hampshire-stOOd fast with the oppo-
sltiOn, and seven Democrats were
found with the majority. The senate
and house conferees ut once began
their efforts to reach agreement, the
only radical difference being over the
antl-dumping and currency revaluation
sections, which were rewritten by the
senate committee which also made
provision for continuing the war time
restrictions on imports of dyeStuffs.
The house passed the army appro-
priatlon bill, but 1t refused to recedc
from Its determination to make the
army small, The measure provides for
an army of only 100000 men, and an
amendment was adopted which author
ICES the secretary of war to discharge
enlisted men upon their application
until that limit has been reached 1t
Is likely there will be a prolonged con
test with the senate over the size of
the army, and possibly a veto by the
President if the house wins.
