Minimum Salary Ruling IN
Re: Promotions Given BY

Government workers, when pro

salary Of the grade to which they
are promoted. according to q recent
ruling Of Comptroller General Nc.

This procedure must be followed
even though It means a cut in
the pay for the promoted employee.
IN many cases minimum salary
in one grade Is slightly higher than
the minimum salary in the grade
Immediately above 1t.
The decision Is based on the pro

which specifies that the actual av.

shall not be in excess Of what is
known as the mathematical average
for that grade.
The decision has produced con.

Rum runners and customs forces
of the United States Government
are in finish fight off the At

cial reports today.
With new equipment Of the Gov
ernment,s anti-rum fleet going in
to service, Treasury officials,
charged with enforcement of the
prohibition and customs laws, be-
lieved that the gigantic tidal wave
Of whiskey that has rolled over the
shores Of the country in the last
year has begun to ebb.
Probably 100000 cases Of
liquor have been struggled into the
United States during the last
eighteen months, according to UNI
official reports. The Government
officials admitted the figure is
large, but declined to fix an esti-
mate. They declared that a ire
mendous reduction in smuggling
would be accomplished in the next
year.
While the largest rum fleet Ii
lying off the northeastern coast Of
| the United States, rum operations
are extensive along the Florida
coast, off the mouth Of the Missis-
sippi river and on the Pactfic
Icoastline, officials said.
In a. little over a years deter

been killed, thousands of cases of

sells will be pressed into service, as
they are available, and recruits OBJ

one Founders and powerful six-inch
rifles that are provided to send
smugglers to the bottom.
Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon
has stated that once rum smuggling
Is eliminated enforcement Of the
liquor laws will be comparatively
simple. ~
Several reports have been nads
within the last month of rum craft

WHEELER CLEARED

The exoneration of Senator
Wheeler by a special senatorial
committee will be accepted by the
country as an act of justice. Under
the craftsmanship of Senator Bor-
ah, the committee has acted fairly,
hearing every witness whose testi-
mony was relevant to the question
CT Senator Wheeler's guilt of limo
cence Of the charge Of having rep
resented client before govern
mental department.
Other evidence. adverse to Sen
ator Wheeler. may come to light if
he should be tried on the indict-
ment brought against him by a fed
eral grand jury in Montana; but on
the face of the evidence so far re-
vealed, the Indictment seems to
have been the result Of spitewOrk
by some old-guard members Of the
Republican National Committee. in
return for Senator Wheeler's Wig
orous attacks on Attorney General
Daugherty.
Lovers of fair play will rejoice
that the malicious efforts of the
Daugherty element have been frus-
trated by the prompt and impartial
investigation by the BOrah commit
tee; and at the same time it NAV
be pointed out that the Daugherty
investigation, largely conducted by
Senator Wheeler. has not been
prompt. but has been drawn-Out;
has not been imnartial. but has
been glaringlv partisan and vindic-
tive; has not excluded extraneous
matters, as did Chairman -Borah.
but mas encouraged irresponsible
witnesses to spread ISLANDERS
against personal enemies.
When Senator Wheeler was in
dicted. he received a dose of his
own medicine-slander Therefore
the sympathy which he has receiv-
ed has sometimes contained a
snicker But the injustices which
Senator Wheeler has committed in
the Daugherty hearings are no jus
tifcation for an unfounded indict-

On the southwest corner, where the
wind must be reckoned with, large

front of the entrance to the capitol
is a heart-shaped bed of flowers of

The board of administration had
requested the legislature for $4,000
a year to put the capitol grounds in
shape, but the appropriation was cut
to $1,000 year.
