MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD

Secretary Mellon Of the treasury, In
letter to Representative Fordney,
chairman of the committee on ways
and means of the house of representa-
tives, says Ordinary expenditures
for the first three quarters of the fis-
cal year, 1921, have been $3,7S3,771 ;
996.74, or at the rate of about $5,00O,-
100000 for the year. According
to the latest estimates of the spending
departments. ordinary expendi.
lures during the fiscal year, 1922, in
Guiding interest on the public debt,
will be over $4,OOO,OOO.OOO.
"The nation cannot continue to
spend at this shocking rate. AS the
President said in his message, the bur-
den Is unbearable, and there are two
avenues of relief, 'One Is resistance
In appropriation and the other is the
utmost economy in administration
R. G. Leffingwell, formerly an assis-
tant secretary Of the treasury, whom
l have quoted previously in these ar
ticles, and who Is still deeply and &C.
lively interested In securing retrench-
ment In national expenditures. COM
menting on this utterance of Secretary
Mellon, says: "Why should there be
retrenchment in public expenditure?
Why does the secretary of the treas
ury speak of current and estimated ex-
penditures as shocking? What Is the
evil that we are discussing and what
Is its effect?
Government expenditures must be
met from taxes. To the extent that
they are met promptly from taxes and
from honest taxes directly laid upon
the incomes of the people, and In pro-
portion to those incomes, exaggeration
Of the evil of government expenditure
Is avoided. Government expenditure
takes the money of all the people for
the supposed benefit of a portion Of
the people, honestly or dishonesty,
equally or unequally, avowedly by d.
rect taxation, or surreptitiously by the
indirect taxation which results from
Imitation of currency and credit and
Of the public debt.
Government expenditure takes the
fruits of the earth and the labor of
the people and diverts them from the
productive and reproductive enter
prises of men, from the natural enjoy
ment of the men, who by their pru-
dence, foresight and effort, created the
wealth and made 1t available, to the
sometimes benevolent and sometimes
belligerent, but almost always econom-
ically wasteful, purposes OF govern
ment.

HIRE GOVERNMENT HELP

The civil service commission hires
all employees in the classified service
of the government. The only thing to
that 1t has not yet been classified.
But you shall hear what the civil serv-
ice commission has to say about hir-
ing help, without comment from me.
There is an utter lack of definitely
planned and well-organized employ
ment policy In the government serv-
ice.
There is need for a centralized en-
ployment Office with jurisdiction In all
matters relating to employment.
The employment methods of the gov
eminent should be such as to serve
for model for private business
There is at present no central con-
troll over the executive service short
of the President. The President Is a
busy man and cannot concern himself
with the details Of the executive de-
partments.
The lack of efficiency In govern
ment offices has a marked effect on
private business.
Definite information concerning the
number of federal civil employees in
different branches of the service and
the amount Of the government pay
roll are not readily available
An official register, or blue book,
Is issued every two years. 1t is out
of date long before it is printed.
A provision of the civil service rules
theoretically gives the civil service
commission authority to collect and
maintain complete personnel statis-
tics. The labor and expense involved,
however, practically prohibit the col
lection and compilation Of reliable sta
tistical data.
In addition to the limits Of the COM
missions authority Is the absence of
authority to enforce its findings. The
commission can make recommends
lions to the departments and offices
and urge their observance, but 1t can
not enforce them.
Congress passed what Is known as
the civil service law January 16, 1888.
This act created the United States
civil service commission. The law was
intended to cure in part the evils
traceable to the spells system, which
grew out of the four-year-tenure-o Of
office act of 1920.
During the first 40 years after the
organization of our government, adj
ministrative practice with regard to
the civil service seemed to conform
to the intention Of the founders. The
Constitution fixed the term of no Of

Then She Remembered.

Meeting a friend of mine, the wife
of bank treasurer, we stood talking.
Along came a mutual acquaintance,
the widow of bank cashier.
"There goes Mrs. Blake! !" exclaimed
my friend. 81 wonder how she likes
the work in a brokers Officer
"Oh, she likes it fine, but she's had a
hard time making living" l replied.
But that's the way of it. Being a
bankers wife doesn't always mean you
have money, but you've got to pretend
you have anyway"
That's right" said my friend, and
then 1 remembered what her hus-
band is.-Chicago Tribune.

government except those of the Pres
ident and vice president. 1t was the
established usage during these first
40 years to permit executive officers,
except members of the cabinet, to hold
office for an unlimited period during
good behavior. The practice was
changed In 1920 by the four-year-ten-
ure act. The spoils system, as it was
officially described as early as 1885,
was introduced and extended until it
permeated the entire civil service of
the country.
The fundamental purpose of the CIV
ii service law was to establish, in the
parts of the service covered by its
provisions, a merit system whereby
selection for appointment should be
made upon the basis of demonstrated
relative fitness, without regard to po-
litical, religious, or other such con-
siderations.
The act requires that the rules shall
provide, among other things, for open
competitive examinations for testing
the fitness of applicants for the classl-
fed service, the making Of appoint
ments from among those passing with
highest grades, an apportionment Of
appointments in the departments at
Washington among the states and ter
rltories, a period of probation before
absolute appointment and the pro-
to coerce the political action Of any
person or body.
In 1888, the year in which the civil
service law was enacted, 1924 posi-
lions in the civil service were made
subject to competition. The entire
number of positions in the federal
executive civil service on June 90
1915, was 4S0,327. At the height Of
the war expansion there were approx
imately 100000 men and women en-
ployed in the federal executive civil
service, about 100000 of whom held
July 81, 1920, the entire number of
federal executive civil positions, as
nearly as can be estimated, had been
reduced to 691,1 Approximately
$50, 900 of these were subject to COM
petition, or, In other words, in the
classified service. The force Is still
slowly but steadily decreasing.
During the 10 months Of our partici-
patton in the war the civil service
commission gave competitive exami-
nations under the civil service law and
rules to slightly less than 100000 per-
sons, and about 100000 persons with
tested qualifications were supplied by
the commission to the service. A nor
NAL years business is about 100000
persons examined and about $4,000
appointed.

aspirations of men for better world
or a better distribution of the good
things of this earth, government i'm
burdens in the effort to benefit vocif-
erous and organized minorities.
Each Of the executive departments
is concerned to improve its service
and to discover new and useful fields
of service. The entire organization
of the army, of the navy, of each of
the departments, Independent offices
and agencies of the government, Is de-
voted to an important task. Its par
ticular function seems Of vital use
fulness, even necessity. Experts In
each are alive to It's defects and to
the opportunities for usefulness which
have not been availed of.
1.-THE secretary, or other head of
the department, drawn from private
life, perhaps wholly ignorant at the
outset of the nature and extent Of It's
problems, promptly becomes the advo-
cate Of the policies and demands Of
his permanent assistants and bureau
chiefs. If he does not become such
advocate, he may break down the
morale of his organization and possibly
lose the confidence of his personnel.
Behind it all Is the pressure of or
ganized interests in the constituencies,
which are the beneficiaries of specific
expenditures, operating upon politi-
clans, executive departments, senators
and congressman. The strident voice
of greed Is heard In the market place
and in legislative halls; the voice Of
the people Is barely audible.
1.-THE fact that each project Is con-
sidered separately, without reference,
congress, to ways and means Of flnanc-
ing it, prevents concentration of popu-
lar opinion on the awful total. All
agree that there must be economy, but
as each item is presented all seeming
ly agree that that Is not the proper
field for economy. There must be econ
omy, but there must be a merchant
marine whatever the cost. There must
be economy, but the government must
pay high wages to railroad employees
and furnish transportation on the rail-
roads at less than cost. There must
be economy, but the World war SOL
diers must have their bonus. There
must be economy. but Civil war pen
sions must be increased. There must
be economy, but we must prepare for
war, regardless Of expense"
You know this Is true. The new
budget law will help very much this
condition, but unless you are interest
ed, continuously, actively. openly In
tercsted, your money will not be saved.
