the Pacific Coast and in the coast
states.
The itinerary as now arranged pro-
yides for speeches in about IL cities,
the first in st. Louis and the last
probably in San Diego, California.
Although Mr.. Harding had indicat-
ed he regards these addresses as
somewhat secondary to the real pur-
pose to the trip-his visit to Alaska
he, nevertheless, proposes to pre-
pare them with care. Through them
he intends to report to the American
people on the stewardship with
which he was entrusted two years ago
and also to outline the future pol
icies Of his administration.
AS the first step toward preparation
he has begun to select the topics he
desires to discuss and to assign
hem to the various cities chosen for
principal addresses. In doing this
the president is understood to be fol-
lowing a policy of speaking upon a
topic o. special interest to the COM
munity of which the particular city
s the center.
One Of the addresses contemplated
nv the executive will deal with the
results of arms conference and he
is said to feel that the logical place
for such a speech would be a Pacl1c
Coast city, the west coast being par
ticularly interested in the four pow
er treaty as well as many Of the other
conventions which resulted from the
conference.

SERVICE COMMISSION
WARNS PUBLIC AGAINST
COACHING SCHOOLS

Washington, ID. c., May l6, 1925
William c. Deming, newly installed
president of the United States Civil
Service Commission, scarcely became
comfortably seated in his official chair
before he found occasion to give war;
ing against the activities OF certain
individuals and so-called schools max
ing ~extravagant claims as to their a
bility to further the interests OF can
didates for government employment.
I'm a statement issued today, Mr..
Deming said that there has come to
his attention a blank form of contract
distributed by one of these concerns
which provides that the signer shall
nav ten dollars to the other party to
the contract to assist the signer IN
securing Appointment as postmaster,
There is a further stipulation that ~
dollars more is to be paid when the
signer is confirmed as postmaster.
The recipient agrees to represent the
signer before the Post Office Depart
ment AMI the Civil Service Commits
sion. The impression is given, al
though not expressly stated, that the
person to whom the money is paid
can III some way bSip thO oi6hCI ~
appointment. There is a Joker" in 1t
i'm these words of the contract: IF
within your power to do So" That is
if the applicant fails and complains
the coach can say that he did his
darndest.
Mr.. Deming points out that all need
ed information concerning examina-
tons for and appointments to post
master positions, and positions in the
classified civil service, may be secur-
ed from the Civil Strvice Commission
or any of its duly authorized repre-
sentatives, and without cost. He says
further that the examinations held
under the Commission are open anu
competitive and that the order of rat
ing and certification can not be eff
fected by any consideration other than
the evidence OF qualifications gather
ed by the Commission through its ex-
aminations.
/, The Civil Service Commission does
not disapprove or desire to discredit
legitimate schools which give actual
Nana fde instruction. Such training
has a general as well as a special val
ue. but the intention is to warn the
public against misleading claims made
by many so-called civil service coach
ing schools and by individuals who
by inference lead applicants to be-
lieve there is need or opportunity FOR
oatside influence or assistance.

Onida Watchman.-An Alaska Ind
ian was arrested for murder. His cap
tor started with him upon a weari-
some journey over a waste of snow
that stretched for several hundred
miles between him and the Jail. Dur
ing the journey the captor fell i'll; so
i'll that he was helpless. Whereupon
the Indian dragged him the remain
ing hundred miles to his safety and to
his own Imprisonment, or perhaps
death. A short time ago an American
Indian, under sentence OF death, got
a stay of execution that he might ar
range his affairs and harvest his crops
for his family. At the end of the
reprieve he voluntarily showed up for
execution. Nor are these instances
unique; there are many such. APP
p~arently the untutored savage has a
great respect for the law. To his mind
the use of real authority is made
TO be respected and obeyed. III
broken, the law enacts a punishment.
The Indian mind does not "see" any
point to evading that punishment.
Even the fact that the punishment
may mean death, does not deter him.
There have been instances of white
men who have left Jail on parole and
returned; yet one would hesitate to
trust enc who was under sentence OF
death with his freedom. With such
examples given by savages, men with
little or no education, civilization
or training, it is the more reprehen-
sible when we, the citizens of a ma
ion which prides itself upon being
s~clf-governed, deliberately violate
laws because we don't like them. In
stances are everywhere; the bootleg
grr and his customer are but samples
of many. Big business violates the
law; see any federal Trade Commits
sion report. Automobiles violate inc
tow: see any police court docket.
Granted that misparking and misla-
beling are not crimes to be men
toned with murder, nevertheless, a
violation of the law is wong; 1t Is
un-American, unpatriotic, cowardiy

GASOLINE TAX CASE
APPEALED TO HIGHER COURT

Pierre, S. D., May 10.-Appeal to
the United States supreme court
from the recent South Dakota su-
preme court decision sustaining he
state gasoline tax has been granted
and the formal appeal on a writ OF
error was received here today Tor
the plaintiff in error.
The case, which is that of the
Peterson Oil company, a corporation
against Guy G. Frary, state inspector
of petroleum products for South Da-
kota. is regarded as a test OF the
state and is backed by GA oil com
panies in the state. The South Da-
kota supreme court upheld the sta
tute in a four to n decision last
February "a.
Previous to this test case, the law
had never been attacked in this state.
II was adopted in 1897 and provided
ut the outset for a tax Of one-tourth
cent a gallon on gasoline sold in
this state. Since then the act has
been amended at various times on
one occasion calling for a tax OF 30
cents a barrel on individual barrels
of the product and lesser rates iOr
larger amounts. In 1917 a fiat AK
of five cents a Darrell was provided.
This is the existing rate.
In appealing to the United States
supreme court, counsel for the plain
tiff set forth as their principal argu-
ment that the tax violates the cons
titutional provision that congress
shall have the exclusive right to
regulate commerce between stuIeS.
It is held that the tax is so high that
it amounts to a regulation ofinter-
state commerce.
