TAXATION STING

The relief from taxation, so en-
Enthusiastically promised by repub.
licans when seeking control of the
government, does not seem SO al
Turing or hopeful now since they
have become entirely responsible
for government affairs.
Senator Reed Smoot, republican
from Utah. says taxation burdens
of the American people are to be
increased and that no immediate
relief is in prospect.
I'VE have not begun to feel the
sting of taxaction," Smoot de-
clared. FOR it is my opinion that
federal taxes in the future must
90 up instead of down. don't
want to be pessimistic, but we
must face the facts.
Shoots statement coming at toe
conclusion of the hearings which
have been conducted by the finance
committee With a view TO the re-
vision Of the internal revenue laws,
is taken to indicate that revision
downward at this time is practi-
cally out of the question.
The republican victory last fall
was gained largely on promises of
relief that the party now finds it.
self utterly powerless to give. The
party is going to be forced to do
many things that the democratic
administration was soreIy criticized
for doing. To meet the expenses
of the war the democrats had to
levy heavy taxes, and the republi-
cans are forced to make these taxes
more burdensome, and that at a
time when the people are less able
to pay them.

REPUBLICANIZING CIVIL
SERVICE

President Harding's revision OF
the postal civil service ruling OF
his predecessor is straddle. 1t
is an attempt to pacify the civil
service reformers and to reward
the seekers of pap.
Postoffices are the prizes of the
small-town politician. They have
been peddled successfully by the
politicians Of both parties before
national conventions, but not since
the days of Benjamin Harrison
haye they been dished out freely
to the faithful.
Civil service reform got in some
hard blows under Grover Cleve-
land and it has continued to pro-
gress. Woodrow Wilson placed
the clincher on reform, so far as
the postal grabs were concerned,
and the merit of his order was
amply demonstrated when, during
his second administration, $40 Re-
publicans we're appointed to be
postmasters in northern states
against 598 Democrats, after com.
petitive examination. There was
one fault in the Wilson order that
could have been remedied without
trouble, and that was the provision
that candidates for reappointment
mist stand examination. Under
the Wilson plan. incumbents we're
exempted from examination.
The Harding order modifes the
Wilson plan by permitting the
postmaster general toaselect any one
of the three highest on the list after
examination. 1t is not difficult to
hazard guess as to who will be
selected if there happens to be two
democrats and one republican
among the first three. But. then,
what was poor president to do
with 5000 hungry applicants wait.

Sometime we may have a presi-
dent who will end this political
bartering and take q stand for the
merit system. President Hard

tenn may. hasten the day. Ten

Among the recent purely politi
cal developments at Washington
was President Hardine's modi6ca-
ton of President Wilson's order
for the selection of first. second,
and third-class postmasters under
civil service requirments. Instead
of being required to select the
candidate standing highest, the
administration may, under Presi-
dent HardiDg's order, give the
place to anyone of the FIRST three
at the head of the list. About
$4,000 pOstoffices are affected.
Deserving republicans, who are in
Washington in large numbers,
seem to have no doubt that out 81
the highest three on the list the
postmaster general will be able to
find one republican.

something menacing in their attitude
toward my beast, and I hesitated to
leave until I had learned the outcome.

ing a hole completely through the

CHAPTER ~,
chiId-Raisinc on Mars.

After a breakfast, which was an ex-
act replica of the meal of the preced-
ing day and an index of practically
every meal which followed while ]
was with the green men of Mars,
Sofa escorted me to the plaza, where
found the entire community engaged
in watching or helping at the harness.
ing Of huge mastodonian animals to
great three-wheeled chariots.
The chariots were large, commo-
dious and gorgeously decorated. In
each was seated q female Marian
loaded with ornaments of metal, with
jewels and silks and furs, and upon
the back of each of the beasts which
drew the chariot was perched young
Marian driver. Like the animals up
on which the warriors were mounted,
the heavier draft animals wore neither
bit nor bride, but were guided entire
~ by telepathic means. This power
is wonderfully developed In all Mar
tians and accounts largely for the
simplicity of their language and the
even in long. conversations.
AS the cavalcade took up the line
of march in single file. Sofa dragged
me into an empty chariot and we pro-
ceeded with the procession toward the
point by which had entered the city
the day before.
Every one but myself-men. women
and children-were heavily armed,
and at the tail of each chariot trotted
a Marian hound, my own beast fol-
lowing closely behind ours; in fact, the
faithful creature never left me Volun-
tarily during the entire ten years !
spent on Mars.
The incubator, as it proved, was the
terminal point of our journey this day
and, as the entire cayalcade broke in
to mad gallop as soon as we reached
the level expanse Of sea bottom, we
were soon within sight Of our goal.
On reaching it, half a score of war
riors, headed by the enormous chief

several other lesser chiefs, dismOunted

responding to his command advanced
to the side of the incubator where the
warriors stood.
