PRESIDENT ALTERS
POSTMASTER ORDER

Former President Wilson's order
for selection of first, second and third
class postmasters under civil service
! requirements was modified today by
, President Harding to give wider field
from which postmasters may be
| chosen.
Instead of being required to select
| the candidate standing highest in a
| civil service examination for any
| specific postmastership, the admins
tration may. under today's order. give
! the place to any one of the three at
! the head of the qualified list.
In a statement explaining this ex-
ecutive order, the White House says
! that there are 52,332 postmasters. vi
these, 39.433 are in The fourth class
! and are now under civil service laws
! and regulations, as bring them within
! the privileges and conditions of the
| classified service.
Federal Business Agencies.
OF the remaining 1889 post offices,
700 are first class 2617 are second
class and 1852 are third class. "Ob-
viousiy these offices are business
agencies of the government in legal
purposes and should become so in
statement.
Tho only certain ultimate way to
bring this about is to classify. first,
second and third class postmaSters.
/ This will require an act of Congress.
1t is a step forward. measured by
the requirements of progress and 1t
is one which 1 hope will be made.
Under existing laws the executive
has no power to require these offices
be placed in the classified service.
Moving in that direction, however.
the executive order issued today pro-
vides that If any such vacancy is not
filled by nomination for promotion of
one from within the competitive clas-
sified civil service, then an open COM
petitive examination shall be held
and the appointment shall be made
from one of the, highest three
eligibies. as required now by law in
the classified civil service.
Ba.ed ON Fitness.
"This order which is for our own
guidance in making these appoint
ments, will bring in operation squar-
ing with the requirements of any pos
sible future legislation. Under this
order the kind of test and plan of
investigation and examination which
shall be provided for shall be ap-
proved by the President. and shall
be based on the applicants business
training, experience, fitness, organiz-
ing and executive ability and general
qualifications for an efficient admin
istration and shall in no sense be a
cloistered scholastic examination
which might result in high grade in
theory. but not guarante of effici-
ency in fact.
"This order applies" the President
explained in conclusion, "to all pres
! ent incumbents of post Offices whose
terms have expired and will apply to
all other incumbants as their present
| terms expire"

OPPOSES EXEMPTION PLAN.
Board Of Trade Committee Looks
Unfavorably on Scheme.

Tax exemption was opposed by the
Board Of Trade committee on munich
pal finance a a meeting last night.
The reason cited was that the build
ing program of the District was
hampered because of wartime re-
strictions, and would be now endan-
gered through adoption of the tax
exemption policy.
According to the report of Henry b
+. Macfarland, chairman of the com
mittee, the organization is not pre-
pared to urge building exemptions in
Washington, "believing that with the
annulment of war restrictions the city
will return to Aormaley'

'FAVORS EXEMPTION
Of NEW DWELLINGS
Housing Group of City Club
Wants New York Tax Plan
Adopted Here.

The so-called New York plan Of tax
exemption for new dwellings was IA
vored as means for stimulating
home building and as an aid for busi-
ness by the housing group of the City
Club at meeting last night at the
clubhouse.
Following introduction by c. F.
Nesbit, the resolution was adopted by
unanimous vote. although for two
hours many subjects were presented
during discussion. Copies of the reso-
luton were ordered sent to the Dis
trict Commissioners and to members
of the House and Senate District COM
mittees.
Plan Slightly Different.
The resolution calls for a plan
slightly different from the ordinance
now in effect in New York city, in that
it asks for hve-year exemption period,
instead OF for ten-Year one, as in that
city.
The resolution asks that "all new
buildings planned for dwelling pur-
poses, except hotels. and on which
building operations shall be begun
within one year from passage of the
act and completed within two years
from date Of commencement be ex-
SAPtc0. Inc tAofhptlOH asked is AT
the rate Of $1,000 for each room, but
not to exceed 5000 on any single
house OF $4,000 on any two-family
house. For apartment buildings an ex-
emption of $1,000 on each room up to
five would be allowed.
The matter came before the City
Club in the form of a letter from
Claude w. Owen, who abked it and
other civic bodies to consider the plan.
Points Out Advantages.
Mr.. Owen pointed out that in New
York six weeks experience with the
law had shown an increase of pro-
jected building over the same period
in 1919 Of 81 per cent. with an in
creased valuation OF more than $lO,-
100000. The same law, two other
members informed the group, has
been made mandatory in New Jersey.
while a plan of similar purport is now
in effect in Pittsburgh and Scranton.
Other speakers asserted the belief
that the plan would bring capital for
home building here that is now going
to non productive but exempt in
vestment. less needed than homes
