CABINET TURNS A DEAF
EAR TO CONCRESSMEN; !;
UPHOLD CIVIL SERVICE
BY MARK SULLIVAN

WASHINGTON, April 6.-It is not
solely nor even primarily the wish to
get the jobs for Republicans that has
brought the civil service into the
headlines. At least it is not any such
desire on the part of the cabinet mem
bers and other important officials.
1t is quite true there are many Re-
publican members OF congress and a
few Republican senators who would
like to raid the civil service for jobs
for their local party workers back
home.
They are pretty clamorous about it.
and have been trying spasmodically
to get somebody at the top to do
something. But the men at the top
by that | mean cabinet members and
heads of important bureaus-do not
want to break down the civil service
At lease they don't want to change ii
for such a motive. They know it is
the civil service law that protects
them from what would be an intoler.
able burden.
If it were not for the civil service
if it were a case of turning some tens
lof thousands of jobs over to Repub
licans, these cabinet members and
others know they would never have a
minute for work.
Would Face congressman.
Clamoring congressman with hun
cry constituents would be on theil
backs "a hours a day. Further thar
that, every congressman refused a job
for his friends would become a per
sonal enemy; and no cabinet member
could hope to get needed Legislation
! or appropriations through congress.
For protecting them from all thai
sort of thing the men at the top are
grateful to the civil service law; and
in the end that is the thing that will
weigh most with them and will cause
i them to resist any attempt at drastic
changes that may originate in con
gress. Nevertheless, for a different
reason, the men at the heads of grea
executive departments loathe and de
| spise some things about the civil ser
vice which hamper their efficiency.

PALLADIUM: NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON, April 6.-President
Harding is demanding of congress an
adequate national defense. He is not
satisfied with the action of the house
in appropriating for an army of only
115,000 enlisted men and 1900 Off
GERS. He has indicated to the senate
committee on military affairs that he
believes the army should have not
less than 10000 enlisted men.
The president also is opposed to the
little navy" program of the appro-
priations committee of the house.
When the naval appropriations bill
comes up in the house Saturday it
will provide for an enlisted force OF
only $1,000 seamen, which represents
a reduction of over $4,000 men. 1t is
understood that the president believes
the navy should have an enlisted force
of not less than $4,000.
Members of the house who believe
the navy should have enough seamen
to properly mane the vessels author

WASHINGTON, April s. = Repre-

house members, he would say that
Representative Blanton of that state
is a disgrace to this house and ought
to be kicked out"
Mr.. Gamers statement, coming af-
ter Blanton had defended himself
against a newspaper article, threw the
house into great disorder and brought
from the speaker sharp, quick COM
mand to the sergeant-at-arms to pre-
vent personal clash after Blanton
had shouted he would hold Garner
responsible if called a liar by him.
"At the outset of a brief speech Mr..
Garner said that "in this world there
are all kinds of liars-the artistic liar,
the inartistic liar, and the common
liar"
Representative Blanton, sitting a
few feet away, jumped to his feet, ex-
claiming: "And l will hold you per-
sonlly responsible if you call me a
liar!''
Mr.. Garner did not notice the inter
ruption, but Representative Somers,
also of Texas. sitting nearby, jumped
to his feet and shouted 'Liar!" at Mr.
Blanton, at the same time starting in
his direction.
1t was at this point that the serg-
eant-at-armS rushed in and Blanton re-
tired
Then there came from the Demo.
cratic side of the chamber a cry
throw him OUT which was picked
up by other Democrats and for mo-
ment there was a great confusion.
Mr.. Garner waited until quiet was
restored to continue with his speech

PROTECTIVE TARIFF
IS need To REVIVE
TRADE, SAYS WILLIS
CRy Associated Pressl

BANGOR. Maine, April Ga pro-
tective tariff law must be enacted at
the earliest possible moment if Amer
lean workmen are to be employed, if
American industry is to thrive and
American standards are to be main
tanned, Senator Willis, of Ohio, de-
clared in an address today before the
Republican state convention.
American markets, he said. are he
ing flooded with European made goods
offered for sale in this country at prizes
only fraction of the American Labor
cost alone.
Senator Willis reviewed the accom-
plishments of the administration, and
charged that "holdover Democrats"
had hampered and impaired Republi.
cans in their efforts to stabilize condi-
tions. Before many weeks, however
he said, a protective tariff law based
on the principles of Blaine and Nc
Kinley would be on the federal statute
books
The Republican party, he said, had
checked extravaganza, established a
| budget system, reduced taxes, Topped
off appropriations and maintained
American ideals. On this record o.
pledges, he declared, "the administra.
ton of President Harding looks to the
people of Maine for a vote of corfi
dence and support"
| Signs Look Better
The signs look better, he said, add
: ing that "even the promise of a Re
publican tariff stimulates industry and
starts factories
with the early enactment Of tn,
| tariff and prompt funding of the for
law" he continued, industrial condi
tions will continue to improve, an.
| eign debt already provided for b.
under Republican policies we shal
have honor and prestige abroad"
| Every serious international difficul
ty which threatened a year ago, Sen
| ator Willis declared, either has beel
finally settled or the definite mean
provided for its speedy adjustment
All this, he added, has been done with
out sacrifice of national sovereignt
or abatement "of self-respect and wit
fullest justice to other nations
"But it is not in the handling O
foreign affairs alone" he added, "tha
the Republican party has made a rec
ord which merits endorsement at tn
hands of the people. In domestic a
fairs it has made more progress tc

months than the Democratic party i
eight years"
