CAN THESE BE TRUE?

Ohio is a strange, topsy-turvy
place. Only last week. during the
midst Of a spirited debate on en-
forcement precipitated by Colonel
the Honorable John Philip Hill,
NC, D.S.M., there showed up in
the Congressional Record a strong
opponent Of the Colonel who hailed
from Ohio. OF course, an Ohio
prohibitionist is nothing to marvel
at. But this Ohio prohibitionist
was named Murphy.
Clearly there is something wrong
here. What is the subtle force IN
the Center of Corruption that can
make a prohibitionist Of a Murphy I
Hardly had we ceased to marvel
over this phenomenon than another
appears. Ohio, of course, being the
Center of Corruption, stands united
for more laws, more jobholders, less
liberty and higher taxes. But here
is a man from Ohio who has
achieved whatever distinction there
is in election to the House of Repre-
sentatives and who marches wholly
out Of step.
Representative NJ. L. Davey was
appealed 10 BY the Ohio State Fed
Grafton of Labor TO do something
about the conditions under which
the Washington jobholders work.
Mr.. Davey was not impressed. Said
he, in public letter written in re-
ply to the Federation;
/ will venture the assertion that
more than half the civilian en-
ployes of the Government, not
counting the letter-earriers and
clerks, are the most expert loaf
ers and tirne-killers in America.
Buck-passiRg is the favor
tie and accomplished practice.
We should get rid of 100000
or more of the tax-eating drones.
Many who would other
wise be good and valuable Gov
ernment employees have become
the victims Of a vicious system.
the philosophy of which is to do
as little as can be done and keep
the job alive.
Clearly this. from an Ohian, is
revolutionary stuff, 1t is almost
enough to entitle Mr.. Davey to con-
sideration for membership in The
EveaiHg SIM bloc. It is Just as
remarkable as that a Murphy should |
be Volsteadian.
Ohio becomes more and more a
puzzle to non-residents. Some day
we are going to send an expert out
there to find the explanation Of these

TOBACCO GROWERS TAKE
WARNING.

In another column we publish a
letter from the Directors OF the To-
bacco Growers Association which
should be closely read by every to-
bacco grower in Southern Maryland.
This letter indicates that the Asso-
citation is not vet up to its full quota
necessary to accomplish full and
lasting results.
There are evidently many tobacco
growers vet remaining outside of the
breastworks thus lending aid and
encouragement to the enemy who
would thwart the efforts Of those
who have worked increasingly to the
end that a market for tobacco might
be established whereby the grower
might continue to raise this conmo-
dity with profit financially and in
pleasure and thus insuring an in
come when all other commodities
failed.
Whatever the situation Of the As
sociation it is due to the tobacco
growing farmers of this State. 1t
has been successful so far due to the
indefatigable work Of its officers
and the united and solid support
they have received from the member
farmers who are appreeiative OF
what organization and cooperation
means. That the Association has
not accomplished all that it has set
out to do is due to those farmers
who have persistently refused to
join. rather remaining outside, fur
nishing aid to the enemies of the
Association which means enemies Of
the farmers. Once these enemies
have accomplished their purpose
what do they care about the interest
of the farmers? They are pursuing
selfish interests and this the tobacco
growers will learn to their everlast-
ing regret should it ever come to
pass that the Association has to dis
solve and go out OF business.
We are satisfied and convinced
that the high prices received for
tobacco in the last few years has
been due entxely to the work Of
the Tobacco Growers Association.
Had the Association not been in ex-
istence we are satisfied that the
prices Of tobacco today would have
gone down considerably and possibly
as low as it was twenty years ago.
The price of wheat for the past few
years and the price of corn today
should certainly furnish an undeni-
able example Of what the tobacco
would do if there had been no asso-
citation.
We warn the tobacco growers
that there must be alertness on their
part and the Association so strength
ened in membership and co-opera-
ton that the price of tobacco shall
be kept up. We warn them too that
it will be a sad day for them should
the Association be forced to go out
Of existence. Better take time by
the forelock and effect results now.
It will be too late to lock the stable
door after the horse is stolen.

DEFENDS FEDERAL
WORKERS RECORDS
StengeI| Replies to Davey
Charges That us. Employees
Are Time MASTERS.

Vigorous defense of Government
employees against the charges of
Representative Davey of Ohio that
they are loafers" was made yester-
day by Representative Stengen, Demo.
crat, of New York, a veteran worker
In the cause Of civil service, who e&
pressed fear that many of his
colleagues might take Mr. DaNey
statement at its face value.
THE silly vaporings OF Representa-
tive Martin Davey concerning the
wisdom of dismissing 100, 900 Govern
ment employees because they are time
WuSters and buCk-passars' would not
be worthy Of notice BY sensible
people," said Mr.. Stengel, were
there not a possibility that some citi-
zens might place credence in his state
ment when there is no Justification in
fact.
20 Years OF Study
After having spent the ias' 20
years Of my life in close study Of civil
service, Federal State and municipal, /
am fully qualified to say that Mr.
Davey is as far from the truth in his
charges as it is possible for the human
mind to imagine.
IF his real object is honestly TO
discover and drive out of the public
service time wasters and buck pass
ers' I most respectfully suggest that
he publish his own record for the past
three years and allow the public to
decide whether he fills the bill as well
or better than those against whom he
lays unsupported charges. Let him
that is without fault cast the first
stone.
rs Rank Injustice"
According to Mr.. Daveys logic, il
one man commits murder in Wash
tngton. the grand jury should indict
all the citizens for that offense. To
throw a blanket charge such as Mr..
Davey has framed over Uncle Sam S
great army Of faithful and efficient
employees in order to pay his respects
TO some public servants who failed
to do his bidding is rank injustice.
unworthy of the humblest citizen
much less member of Congress. who
knows that those against whom he
makes charges have no opportunity
to face their accuser and demand his
proofs.
I'm my humble opinion as o civil
expert Martin Davey is splendid
tree doctor"

The committee showed strongly its
determination to see that the s1.100. 900
authorized in substantive legislation

Commission, as an annual budget for

should not be cut down. During the
last two years only 100000 year
has been carried in the budget instead
Of the S1,100 900 authorized by Con-
gree.
Brought Up by Gibson.
This matter was brought up by Mr..
Gibson. He was strongly supported
by Mr.. Underhill, who said that after
exhaustive debate In Congress when
every effort is made to defeat a bill
and Congress declares it's will. then
there should not be any right for any
commission, board of elective or ap-
pointive officers to go contrary to that
avowed intention of the Legislative
body He declared that it is an in
fringement on the right of the legisla
! tive branch by some other bra nch of
government. which Congress cannot

nounced today that he had decided to
withdraw his request that the newly
organized traffic council of the Dis
trict meet in executive session when
he appears before 1t Monday night to
discuss Washington's traffic problems.
Considerable opposition has devel-
oped to his plan to speak privately"
in the council. Mr.. Eldridge said. so
he will come out into the open and
tell all he knows, hopeful that some
Of his remarks will not find their way
into newspaper print, because they
may cause embarra ssment to some
prominent citizens.
Mr.. Eldridge said his discussion
would center chiefly on the reissu-
ance Of automobile drivers permits
which, under the law, must be re-
newed March 81. Funds are lacking
to carry out the law. he said. and
unless an appropriation is forthcom-
ing he will be forced to call upon the
Police Department to aid the Traffic
Bureau in reissuing the new permits
through the precincts.
