The Bureau Dismissals,

A novel question has been raised in
connection with the dismissal from
the bureau of engraving and printing
OF some 900 employees under an order
to reduce the force. In anticipation
of this reduction, the director Of the
bureau summoned a conference of di-
vision chiefs and a memorandum was
adopted, it is now averred, setting
forth the manner ip which the selec-
tions for dismissals were to be made.
1t is now the complaint of some of
those discharged that this memoran-
dunn established process Of selection
that is contrary to the spirit of the
civil service law. inasmuch as it In

upon the last two items. "agitators

age. 1t must otherwise reorganize at
every port. If. as alleged. the German
steamships are bringing seamen over
here at the rate Of cent month
they are. of course. parties to a
scheme Of what is virtually smuggling
these men into the United States and
should be held accountable. And what
is true Of Germany is probably true Of
other countries. 1t is stated that no
less than 10000 Cinnamon have come
into the United States under cover of
the seamen's act. which permits for
eign shipworkers to land at American
ports, thus nullifying the Chinese ex-
clusion law.
Evidently this matter requires
prompt consideration and action. The
immigration law is not working out
satisfactorily. and many more aliens
are coming into the country than was
contemplated when the law was
framed. If these "cent-a-month"
sailors are also f1ocking in. the solu-
ton of the labor problem, already diff
cult, will become harder than ever.

The Flag in Porto Rico.

inaugural address. tells the people of
Porto Rico that Old Glory is there to
stay.
They would do well to heed what he

from being propitious time to agi-
tate for early or immediate independ'
ence for the island. Uncle Sam is in

The Southern Sanitary Situation,

Although the outcome of the confer
ence held here between health officers
of states and the chief of the public
health service resulted in a virtual
denial of the Presidents proclamation
OF widespread suffering in the south
from food shortage and disease, the
incident has led to assurance of i'm
states that are involved in the ques-
ton. A more perfect cooperation be-
tween state and federal authorities is
assured. Improvement of state meth
eds of health supervision will follow.
fbe reaction OF the southern cotton
states to the suggestion that famine
and pellagra were unusually preva-
lent was immediate and indignant 1t
was felt that an injustice had been
done to that section to state to the
country that the people there We're
lacking in food and sanitary attention.
Denials came quickly and emphat-
ically. Then the sensible thing was
done-a meeting of all responsible for
the situation. to find out the facts. was
called. Out of that conference has
come the present clear understanding
of the case.
Probably the difficulty about this mis-
understanding has been the difference
in points Nof view. Undernourishment
and disease prevalence have been
somewhat chronic in certain sections
and have become accepted as nat
ural condition. Pellagra has, as it
were, established itself as regional
disease incident to malnutrition. Pres
ident Harding has. on the basis of re-
ports laid before him. focused atten-
ton upon this condition in way to
make it clear. though perhaps dispro-
portionately.
With all the state organizations
working together and in harmony
with the public health service, prog
ress can be made toward reducing the
twin evils Of undertaking and pella-
gra. A perfect understanding has
been effected, asperities have been
softened and fears that the federal au-
thority was to be extended arbitrarily
into the state Jurisdictions to grapple
with strictly domestic questions have
been allayed. The southern states say
they do not need funds. but if at any
time the situation in any one of the
states becomes such as to call for ma
terial aid it will be forthcoming abun-
dantly.

employees who, however efficient they
may be, have been personally under
ban of displeasure. 1t would surely
seem that the inclusion of these two
factors is unwarranted.
Retention in the service when the
time comes for a reduction Of forces
should be determined solely by eff
cheney and not by personal considera-
tions. If there are factional troubles
in the bureau of engraving and print
ing, due perhaps to delay in the ap-
pointment of a new chief-if a new
one is to be named-it is much better
that the whole question of the per-
sonnel should be considered by the
head Of the department before whole.
sale discharges take place.
If the principle of dismissal oh the
ground of agitation and troublemak-
ing" is to be applied throughout the
departments in effecting the reduc-
tions that are in process, there will be
much favoritism and probably a con-
siderable loss of administrative eff
cheney. For the terms used in the
bureau memorandum are unsafely
elastic, and no matter how high the
efficiency of an individual may be. 1t
can be negatived by citation of the
''troublemaking" clause.
Controller CrisSinger's committee
will doubtless consider the whole ques-
ton carefully, and if injustice has
been done in the dismissal of these
bureau employees he will doubtless cor
rect it by ordering their reinstatement
and a revision of the lists. OF course,
it is in the circumstances merely a
question of who is to go. From the
point of view of the department. the
main consideration is to retain in the
bureau service those who are most
capable of producing the work prompt
IL and effectively and economically.

Traffic Cases and Collateral.

A controversy has developed be-
tween Commissioner Oyster and Judge
Mcmahon Of the Police Court bearing
on the question of the prosecution of
traffic laW violators in that court. The
Commissioner had complained of lack
of cooperation by the court. and the
Judge now declares that there has
been no lack of cooperation, but, on
the contrary a failure on the part OF
the police to bring the cases to court,
In this question is involved the old
r.atter of the taking of collateral for
violations of police regulations. Judge
Mcmahon states that during the
months of May and June only sixty
seven cases actually came befoA the
Police Court judges for trial. although
Commissioner Oyster states that 1 ,4S9
arrests were made in that time for
traffic violation. Presumably, as the
Judge points out, 1872 speeders and
other rule breakers were permitted to
go without trial on deposit of collat-
eral. In other words, the police de-
partment assessed and collected the
fines in more than 95 per cent Of the
cases, leaving only 5 per cent to the
court.
Under the law, which Judge Nc
Mahon cites, collateral is taken at po-
lice stations as security for the ap-
pearance in court for trial Of those
arrested. 1t is supposed to be cash
bond, not a fine. Its forfeiture for
non-appearance in court should be
followed by the rearrest of the per-
son thus evading trial and his physi-
cal presentation in court.
At present the collateral scales are
not fixed, but are variable with the
precincts and the temperaments Of the
officers in charge. Furthermore. there
is no assurance of cumulative penal
ties in cases of repeated violations,
whereas under the act of June 29,
1906, the court is compelled to take
cognizance of repetitions OF onense,
the minimum fines for three success
sive- violations being IS, $40 and $50;
the maximum fines $50, $100 and $3.50;
the minimum alternative imprison-
ments for second and third offenses
five days and thirty days and the
maximum thirty days and six motnhs,
respectively.
In taking collateral and making no
effort to rearrest those who forfeit
the police department is practically
repealing the statute of 1906. which
thus penalties repetitions. In this
Judge McMahon is perfectly justified
in his protest against criticism Of the
court from any quarter on the score
of lack of cooperation. If only 5 per
cent of the cases reach that court and
s5 per cent are disposed of by the po-
.fss directly. assuredly the response
bility rests with the latter.
And all of this goes to prove the
need Of q traffic court, before which
eyery violator is taken without col
lateral forfeiting and with an assur-
ance of increasing penalties for repe-
tition and habitual violations of the
law.
