Constitution fixed the term of no Of
1icer in the executive branch of the
government except those of the Pres
ident and vice president. 1t was the
established usage during these first
40 years t permit executive officers,
except members of the cabinet, to hold
office for an unlimited period during
good behavior. The practice vas
changed in 1920 by the f~our-year-ten-
ure act. The spells system, as it was
officially described as early as 1880,
was introduced and extended until it
permeated the entire civil service of
the country.
The fundamental purpose of the civ
il service law vas 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 classi-
fled service, the making of appoint
highest grades, an apportionment of
appointments in the departments at
Washington among the states and ter
ritories, a period of probation before
absolute appointment and the pro-
hibition of the use of official authority
to coerce the political action of any
person or body.
In 1888, the year in which the civil
service law WAS enacted, 1924 posi-
tions in the civil service were made
subject. to competition. The entire
number of positions In the federal
executive civil service on June 20,
1916, was 4S0.327. AT the height of
the war expansion there were approx
imately 100000 men and women sm-
ployed In the federal executive civil
service, about 100000 of whom held
positions subject to competition. On
July 81, 1920, the entire number of
federal executive civil positions, as
nearly as can be estimated. had been
reduced to SOL ZIG. Approximately
100000 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 10000
appointed.

ical factory. One thousand men are
out of work. The families of those
one thousand men would use at least
a thousand dozen of eggs a week and
not less than q thousand pounds of
butter and certainly not less thar
three thousand pounds of meat, all
products of the American farmer.
But In the case of Cuba there Is ever
a more direct loss of market to the
farmer.
A glance at the trade reports shows
that Cuba is one of the American
farmers most important customers. In
1920 Cuba purchased of us more than
80 per cent of all our exports of hogs,
lard compounds, canned sausage, rice.
potatoes, beans and onions. She rank
ed second among the nations in the
purchase of our cattle, horses. mules,
picked pork. sausage other than can
ned, poultry, cheese, sweetened con-
densed milk, cocoa and prepared choco-
late and corn. She ranked third in the
purchase of hams and shoulders, mis-
%cellaneous canned meat products, hay
and Hour. Cuba bought from ii; during
1919 and 1920 over $50, 900, 700 worth
of truck gardening and farm products,
over $4,000, 900 worth of live stock,
over SO 1000. 900 worth of dairy prod
ucts. over $50, 600. 900 worth of meat
products, over $4,000 900 worth of
cotton cloth and over $30.0 00, 900 worth
Of manufactures of cotton.
Farmer Needs Cuban Market
1t is pretty evident, then, that the
American farmer needs his Cuban mar
ket. 1t is further quite clear that if
this enormous quantity Of surplus agri-
cultural goods were dumped on the
home market his prices would slump
still more.
Now. where does Cuba get the money
with which to purchase our goods?
The answer is sugar" Cuba produces
1000, 900 tons of sugar annually. This
crop Is the mainstay of Gu
ban prosperity. If 1t fails her, she must
70 bankrupt. About one-half Of her
output of sugar she sells In the United
States.
If an increased tariff makes it i'm
possible for Cuba to sell her sugar in
his country her power to buy goods
here is going to be cut off.
We sold Cuba 515,000,000 worth of
goods in 1920, and a large part of
.hese sales were manufactured prod
acts.

supplies from the surrounding farmers

,ral, IL American manufacturers are

TIME THIEVES ROB THEMSELVES

A desire to practice, the gentle art
OF getting something for nothing
seems to have been inherent in man
since the earliest time, but to date the
scheme has not proved a success.
Some analysts tell us that no desire
is implanted in the human breast that
is impossible of attainment, but it is
doubtful if any way ever will be
found and it is hoped it won't
whereby man can live without labor.
True, buying in a cheap market and
selling in a dear market seems moth
ing more than an effort to pinch off
a part of some ones labor and set it
aside for future use, yet this is the
crux of modern trade. Sometimes it
Is urged as an excuse for the parasite
who lives on the labor of his fellows
and performs no useful service in the
world, but it is at best a poor excuse.
The noblest of work of course is that
OF the farmer, the man who wrests
flom the soil the life-giving forces for
the human kind. We can't all be far
mers. Many of us wouldn't want to
be these days. But we can all play
our part and do an honest days pro-
ductive work in Il respective
spheres, n we can all realize the
fundamental truth hat we cannot rob
our employers of the time and ability
they pay us for without robbing our
selves. Prosperity mean ample pro-
duction and efficient distribution. We
can never enjoy what we do not pro-
duce. The drone in the hive must be
frowned upon. He is like the deadly
upas that blights the thing it touches.
All hands to work. The bell has rung.
Let's go, and then see things hum.
Business activity is purely a state of
mind.

Tt will be interesting if we can learn
what has become of the much herald
ed program promised by Chairman
Lasker when ne took the reins of
management of the Shipping Board
from Admiral Benson and outlined his
plans to develop a merchant marine
that would put America at the fore
front of maritime nations. Thrusting
his feet vigorously, if not gracefully,
into the shoes of Benson, Mr.. Lasker
told the world the American merchant
marine depended on the approval of
the American people. The Texas far
mer and the inland manufacturer
must be brought to see that their in
terest in, an American merchant ma
rine was not less than that of the
business man of the seaboard. Ben
son recognized this. Indeed he put
his campaign to gain intelligent public
understanding Of shipping into actual
operation. 1t was felt, however, that
when Lasker took hold, even though
he did wrap himself in the mantle of
Benson's operations he would, as a
recognized advertising expert, be able
to out-Benson Benson a hundred per
cent. Every thinking American agreed
with the program OF education, but
where is it? The only evidence of its
operation to date has been the imme-
date destruction of the campaign un-
der way, followed by the expenditure
of vast sums of the public money in
so-called national media" which the
farmer is supposed to read and does
MT, If this is to be the way the coun-
try is to be awakened to the import
ance of an American merchant ma
rine then we might as well stop think
ing of ships, and scuttle the fleet We
have with the same roughshod and
sudden audacity displayed when Las
ker out OF the clear sky ordered the
great influential press to stop talking
to the people.

TARIFF REDUCES
FARM MARKETS
With Factories Closed Consumers
Cannot Purchase.
CUBA WAS A BIG BUYER
Cannot Export Produce Unless Other
Countries Can Sell Us.
BY H.. <. MILES,

Oy n. Z. MILES,
Chairman Of the Fair Tariff League.
In a small town in an agricultural
section of the United States, not far
from the Canadian border, there is a
glove factory. This concern has been
for years selling a large part of its
product annually in Canada. Con-
gress in the Emergency Tariff Act
placed on goods imported from Canada
u tariff so high that it made it unproft-
able for the Canadians longer to sell
their goods in the American market.
The small town glove factory, among
many others, lost its Canadian mar
ket and had to shut down.
1t is an economic law that a nation
buys where it sells. 1t must do this
In order to have money to pay its
bills in the country where the bills
are contracted.
Canada being unable to sell her
goods in this country was forced to
sell her surplus elsewhere. Naturally.
then, she supplied her needs in other
markets. But this particular glove
factory Is important because Of its
effect on the prosperity of the nearby
farmers.
The plight of this factory Is an ex-
ample of how the prosperity Of every
Interest in this country is dependent
upon the prosperity of practically ev-
cry other interest. This glove factory
is the mainstay of the town. Prac-
tically all the wage earners work
there. When their means of livelihood
was cut off their ability to purchase
was gone.
The smaller farmers who had a
ready market at their very doors for
their butter and eggs and other farm
products found it necessary to seek
other and less satisfactory markets
out of town. But when they got out
into the world market they found that
something was happening.
Everything they tried to sell was sold
at a greatly reduced price, but every
thing that they attempted to buy they
found was reduced only slightly in
price or not reduced at all.
The Farmer Whipsawed
Many complicated factors enter into
a situation of this kind, but one Of the
most important factors is the tariff. l
have shown in a previous article that
in at least two commodities, those of
sugar ana wool, the tariff protection
accorded ny the increased rates on
these two commodities does not reach
the farmer, but stops with and en-
\ riches the manufacturer.

state of New Jersey which makes a fen.

HIRE HELP

The civil service coihilussiol llnes
all employees in the classified service
of the government. The only thing 10
be said about the classified service, is
that it has NOT yet been classified.
But you shall hear what The civil serv-
ice commission has 20 say about hir-
ing help, without IN from me.
There is an utter lack of definitely
planned and w~ell-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 a model for private business.
There Is at present no central con-
troll oven 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 it's findings. The
commission can make recommended
lions to the departments and offices
and urge their observance, but it 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 spoils system. which
grew out of the four-yeartenure-of-
office act of 1920.
