The exigencies of the war required
great expansion of the clerical
forces at Washington aud elsewhere
and this was accomplished by a labor
turnover several times above normal.
The percentage of destinations of APP
pointments among eligibles on the CIV
IL service register increased in many
instances from 80 TO more than so per
eent-that is, more than half the men
and women who successfully passed
civil service examinations and were
offered jobs under the government re-
fused TO take them. 1t is estimated
that more than $4,000 of those who
met the test were appointed during
that time.
The civil service commission says
fatty:
Those familiar with the federal
service at Washington know that the
service is now hampered by the re-
tention of incompetents whose re-
moval is rendered difficult by influences
which are incompatible with the eff
cheney of the service. Preferences
and exemptions increasingly clog the
departments with persons who, no
matter how inefficient, are difficult to
remove, and whose retention tends to
destroy the discipline of the service"

B. Page OF Iced. Home
From Conference In Wash
ington, Say. 1t Is Only Al
tsnative; Surplus Keeps
Price Down; Wanted A
Guaranteed Price For Two
Years As A Basis For
Credit.

A conference of farmers of the four
northwestern wheat growing states,
called for the purpose of formulating
SOM plan for doing ava with the
surplus of wheat. thereby assuring
growers Of an adequate price for their
product, was suggested today by e.
B. Page, prominent Leeds. N. d.,
farmer, who was in the city en- route
home from Washington, where he at
tended. President Harding's conference
on rural problems.
To do away with the surplus and
consequently aus a rise In the price
Of wheat, the farmers should make a
reduction of about Is per cent in their
acreage, Mr.. Page said.
This conference should Sbe called
only in the event that congress enacts
no remedial legislation between now
and the planting season. Mr.. Page
said.
Wanted Guaranteed Price.
Mr.. Page, who was sent to Wash
ington by the farmers, fought for a
guaranteed minimum price sufficient
to insure the farmer a fair price for
his product. Such a guaranteed price
is necessary for at least two years, he
said, as a basis for credit, so that the
farmer can carry on his business He
urged such action at the conference
meetings and a private conference
with Secretary of Agriculture Wallace.
He also appeared before the agricul-
tural committee Of the house Of rep
resentattves n urged such action.
The conference passed a resolution
sideration to plans for stabilizing the
farm industry. MI. Page said that the
North Dakota congressman and n
tors are doing everything they can to
relieve the situation.
Only Alternative.
When asked by the house agricul-
tural committee if he had any other
plan to suggest for the relief Of the
farmer, MI. Page said that he had.
ton, he said, showed that with the
damage already estimated in the
winter wheat sections. a reduction Of
about IS per cent in the acreage of
spring wheat sections would practic-
ally eliminate the surplus. It is this
surplus which holds the price down.
1.-THE only alternative" he said, lis
to cut the acreage. There is no sense
in raising more than we can use.
Europe. Unless there is no remedial
legislation, there ought to be a call for
all farmers in the four wheat growing
states to get together and devise plans
for reducing their acreage"
Mr.. Page said that, contrary to the
opinion of many, he believed the con-
ference had not been a failure. In
fact. he thought it had been a big
success, for it paved the way to future
results. The only difficulty is that it
will take a long time to right things;
that is why he urged the guaranteed
,rice for a period Of two years while
,ttters were being adjusted.
