AGREE ON 125,0)O
|. AS ENLISTED FORCE
House and Senate Conferees
Reach Compromise on
Army Issue.

House and Senate conferees on the
Army appropriation bill reached a COM
promise late yesterday on an army of
l25'000 enlisted men for the next twelve
months. This represents a reduction of
5000 from the Senate figure and an in
crease Of 10000 over the size of the
army fixed by the House
The House delegation refused to ac-
cept the Senate provision fixing a
maximum authorization Of an army of
100000 enlisted men as we'll as the item
appropriating pay for $4,000 as passed
by the Senate. They were said to have
stood solidly against any provision
which would have permitted a personnel
Of more than 125,oOO.
The department representatives de-
clared repeatedly in hearings on the bill
that to reduce the present authorized
strength Of 100000 men was to go below
the line Of safety.
Decision as to the conference report
on the enlisted strength leaves only two
important sections of the annual supply
bill yet to be considered, exclusive of
the Muscle Shoals amendment appro-
priating $7,500.000 for continuing the
work on the federal power project in the
Tennessee river. 1t already has been
agreed by the conference committee
that that question should be submitted
direct to the House, because of the
controversial character of the subject
involved Chairman Wadsworth Of the
Senate military committee said that
only the items dealing with the officer
strength and the National Guard pro-
visions remain to be determined
1t was expected that a reduction from
the number Of officers fixed by the SEN
ate would follow the compromise as to
enlisted personnel. The House fixed
a ma ximum of 1000 as the number of
officers, while the Senate amendment
put the officer strength at an average
of 1850 for the coming year.

CLASSIFYING BILL
HELD DEFECTIVE
Continued from First Page.)

would be unfair to the government.
Then the bill provides for various
grades in the different classes, with
wide range of salary in these
grades. The superior officers are to
determine which grade the employees
shall be placed in. It seems to me
that we would merely legalize the
favoritism in promotions which we
are seeking to avoid by any such
plan.
Another objection to the bill lies
in the fact that it calls for many
lump-sum appropriations from which
employees are to be paid, and Congress
is striving to get away from these
lump-sum appropriations"
Seek Early Action.
Every effort is to be made, how
ever. to bring out a bill and pass it
at the present session Of Congress,
it was said. The senators are anxious
to bring about the proposed reclassifi-
cation and to do away with the prac-
tice of granting each year a hori-
zontal bonus to the government en-
ployes. Whether the bill can be
passed by July /. when the new fiscal
year begins. is extremely problemat-
ical, however.
The subcommittee has held two
hearings on the bill. at which its sup
porters were given an opportunity to

Other meetings of the subcommittee
are expected this week. The reclassi-
fication bill has passed the House and
has been reported with amendments
from the civil service committee of
the Senate and IS before the appro-
priations committee for consideration
of the salaries allowed.

GOVERNMENT
(By GHflIan scott)

Government by the people is a dream
not yet realized.
Voting for some one else to govern
is not governing. 1t is signing away a
birthright.
Usually the result is mess without
the pottage. Those who get the votes
get the pottage and the voters pay
for II.
An entirely new method Of govern
ment by the people is needed.
Public opinion, public discussion,
public meetings, public suggestions,
public decisions and public action can
start it.
A long pull and a strong pull and
pull all together Will do il.
Graft and love of power will attract
a hundred men to politics against one
lone soul whose unselfish purpose is
the welfare of his fellow man.
It follows that graft wins.
How can that condition be over
come?
In the multitude of counsel there is
wisdom. The people must get to-
gether. Opinions and suggestions
must be plainly expressed.
But a leader is needed. A leader.
leader A strong fearless man. A
bold and resolute man. An honest
man. a gentleman. A man who can
talk and convince. A man who can
inspire his audience and Great enthusi-
asm. A patient man who will make
allowances for the slow and the ig-
norant and the stumbling
Such a chairman will get order out
of chaos and reduce the abstract to
the concrete.
What must the general aim be?
To take government out OF the hands
OF a few and place it in the hands
Of so great a number that graft will
be impossible.
What must the method Of selection
of that number be?
To select men and women Of every
trade, every profession, every occupa-
ton, to act as representatives and to
vote in council as directed by those
who sent them there.
This viii mean a system of public
meetings covering every important
public proposition. Tt will mean that
the voice of the people (vox PopulD
will be heard whenever it is desirable
that it should be heard. It viii mean
government Of the people by the peo-
pie for the people.

Only very recently has it been found
that Venus contains neither oxygen
nor water, and so could not sustain
any such forms OF life as appear upon
earth 1t is by no means certain
however, that there is no life any
where, except on earth. The stars are
myriads of suns with, doubtless, multi
fnyriads of planets revolving around
them, not differing essentially from our
own solar system. The same condi-
lions which have evolved life upon
the earth may begreproduced in thous-
ands of other worlds, both older and
younger than our own. There is more
probability in favor of that theory than
there is against it.

I LOVE THEM BOTH

I have in mind an alderly lady
And little girl so fair
This lady is so sweet and amiable
The girl with beauties rare.
Upon their porch in the twilight
How oft I'VE seen them there,
Seemingly in love, just resting
In their easy chair.
.Tis no picture no artist can paint
Being the handiwork of God,
This pair together blend so we'll
Like unto our Golden Rod
In communion they seem Just one
Agreeing always to a nod.
And their manners are ever smootl
Like a perfect lawn of sod
God gives us numerous blessings.
The best Of all is health
Some can feel specially blessed
Because they have wealth.
But these two should be thankful
The greatest they command,
A disposition OF truth and love
A big heart, true hand
At home they are simply lovely,
And even so on the street,
II certainly is q real pleasure,
Such folks as these TO meet.
They are always glad to see you
And greet you with a smile
Now stop a moment and just think,
Aren't they worth while?
| shall not tell YOU their names
II matters not who they be-.
But they are sure enough folks
Their names begin with G.
As ntighbors they can't be beaten.
Living true noble life
one has made the other will make
true and loving wife.
