Sauce for the Goose Is
Sauce for the Cander
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
In The Star, on May "a, letter by
Mr.. PIT. Green quotes an ancient his
torian as saying Most of Jackson's ap-
pointees were incompetent and a few
proved dishonest" That Is also true of
Harding's appointees. except only few
proved to be not, dishonest If Mr.
Green is fond of reading political scan
dals it is not necessary to go back as
party. Just recall what transpired
under the Republicans from 1924 to
1925
He seems to view with great alarm
the published list of all positions not
under civil service, but he does not seem
to know that the Republicans had a
similar list printed in 1920 and used 1t
for the same purpose. His theory ap-
pears to be that when the Republicans
shake a plum" tree, they should get
under it. but when the Democrats
shake one there ought to be drought.
He doesn't like the idea of the Demo-
new farm relief without regard to civil
service. Did the Republicans fill the
r. F.. c. with employees under civil serv-
ice? They did not.
Perhaps 1t will interest him to know
that 1t was President Wilson who
placed the 10000 postmasters under
civil service, but it was President Hard
ing who put the spoils system back into
full force by making them jobs Of pat
ronage. He opposes governmental re-
organization by rebuking the Demo-
Gratis for their utter disregard of the
meritorious civil service system. But
it is nevertheless a fact that about
10000 Federal employees under Harding,
Coolidge and Hoover were placed under
civil service, not by an open competitive
examination, but by stroke Of a presi-
dental pen for their protection and
awards for service rendered"
After reading Mr.. Green's letter one
is inclined to believe that he is trying
to create the impression that the Re-
publican party has been reborn and
rededicated to the principles and wis
dom of justice and that they have
adopted as its national slogan, 20 JUS
tice, when expelled from other places

can party thy dwelling place"

Ambassador Bowers Diplomacy.

Ambassador Claude Bowers, newly
arrived in Madrid as the American
Ambassador to Spain, has displayed his
native diplomatic ability by doing "in
Rome what the Romans do" One of
his first public actions was to attend a
bull fight. He not only attended, but
he enjoyed it and gave voice to his
appreciation later in an interview which
has been cabled home. doubtless after
publication in the press Of the Spanish
capital. He says:
I was tremendously impressed with
the spectacle. 1t evoked memories OF
Spectacles in ancient Rome. have
never seen such color and tenSity in a
crowd. The action Of the matadors was
a most thrilling combination Of beauty,
physical rhythm. with the danger Of
death. The placing of ban6erillos by
special Portuguese horsemen was a
beautiful exhibition.
This will, of course, endear him
greatly to the Spanish public, whatever
may be the effect upon the American
mind, which in general is averse to the
national Iberian sport. Just so would
the Ambassador from Spain make good
in this country by going TO base ball
game at Griffith Stadium and proclaim
ing his admiration Of the spectacle, as
colorful and exciting and thrilling and
skillful.
The bull fight which Ambassador
Bowers attended was special affair in
honor Of the beauty queens OF Europe.
Thus his presence on such a particular
occasion was likewise a diplomatic
gesture. for the Spaniards are devotees
of feminine beauty and without doubt
greatly appreciate the presence of the
representative of the Western republic.
which holds pulchritude in such high
esteem that it maintains beauty contests
by the score each year, though without
the accompaniment Of sport In Anal
glorification.

Stars 'Wetting the
Powder Editorial
70 the Editor of The Star.

To the Editor of The Star.
Your very commendable editorial of
May IS, "Wetting the Powder" was
gratifying to patriots. Its greatest bene-
fit is in awakening the selfish citizens
whose desire for economy warps their
sane Judgment.
One correspondent of The Star, about
three days later, seemed unimpressed
with the fact that the Army is on the
pay basis of 1908, with minor changes
in plan only, effected in 1920, except
that now the IS per cent pay cut has
reduced the 25-year-old pay schedule.
Those willing to sacrifie national de-
fense strength now should be asked to
show what became of the extra profits
made by Messrs. Average Citizens in
l928-29-30 Did they raise the pay or
strength OF the Army and Navy? No.
People pocketed the increased income
A game Of heads you win. tails lose"
as far as the Army and Navy are con-
cerned.
Such editorials as yours viii save
the country from reductions in defense
and resulting national humiliation. The
doubting Thomases will be surprised if
this country Is called upon in consultant
compacts to assist in preserving world
peace. Our national defense will be Just
as good as We pay for. Are we to be

1t is not the display that might ap-
peal to stranger. but the personal ex-
perienee which comes to the gardener.
which constitutes the real worth of a
garden.
This wholesome gardeners creed
must be kept in mind. not as an ex-

overlooked, in the general demand for
admiration seen and heard on all sides.

than that beauty is its own excuse for

All Taxpayers Are Not
Equal Before the Law

To the Editor of The Star.
Certainly "our necessary debts can be
met with a sales tax" as the Economic
Oculist" says in Saturdays cartoon in
The Star. Often bad taxes are ef-
fective in raising revenue, for time,
and there Is little choice among them
1t would take an Economic Oculist"

tax any easier than the proposed COM
bination of taxes on incomes, stock
dividends and gasoline; II the same peo-
pie pay the money 1t comes out of the
same incomes.
According to the sales tax editorial in
the same issue May 20, the burden Of
the combined taxes will fall upon the
great middle class and upon those who
receive small compensation" 1t might
be pertinent to inquire upon whom tax
alton Is expected to fall. and Why. APP
parently 1t did not occur to the writer
that the man who gets the service ought
TO pay the cost Of that service, In taxes,
regardless of ability to pay"

the latter wrote the oft-quoted epitaph:

metrical composition commonly was
considered q waste of energy. Literary
interest was concentrated upon prose.
Critics believed that the American
scene was unsuited to poetical interpre-

lenge that the poet wrote "The Culprit
Fay"-the occupation Of three days in
August. 1915. But he did not presume

Chinese Bonus Seekers.

4. While literacy In China is at low
per cent in population Of between four
hundred and six hundred millions-it
Is evident that news of American hap
penings is known to large numbers of
the people over there, and particularly
to the soldiers. In a dispatch from
.Tientsin descriptive Of the complicated
situation around the Northern capital,
upon which the japanese forces are
marching, 1t is stated that the soldiers
of two divisions have refused to obey
the orders Of Ho Ying Ching, Chinese
war minister. to evacuate the city unless
they receive the usual bonus attendant
upon the dragon boat festival, which
takes place next Monday.
There will be no bonus march OF these
Chinese troops upon Nanking in de-
mand OF their rights and privileges
OF the country, and they propose TO re-
main there until they get their cum
shaw" which is Chinese for bonus, or
gift, or gratuity, or what not. Per-
I haps they will change their minds If
the japanese persist in their advance.
This incident Is characteristic Of the
Chinese military forces. They are
money fighters just as certain MEM
bers of the American base ball profess
sion are known as money players.
They are strictly professional in their
performance of military duty, having
little or no loyalty to their immediate
commanders except that which Is paid
