Civil Service Commission Has Com
piled List Political Scalps
VIII Be Taken Rapidly

Huey Long and other Democratic
senators who want to know exact
ly how many patronage jobs there
area party-shift being in sight for
March 4+will get a quick answer
from the civil service commission.
Thomas E. Campbell, commission
president, made that clear even
while he argued efficiency would be
better served by merit competitive
than by hand-picked political" job
holders.
The smiling Campbell and antici-
pated the Senate request for COM
plete list of patronage positions so
long ago that he already had the
approximately $4,000 of them, in
Guiding his own, conveniently cata-
logued by state and by department.
Custom, said Campbell, made his
commission the agency to survey
the jobs not controlled by them. The
civil service did it in 1913, and
again in 1921. But not to the ex-
tent that it's being done now.
Nobody was interested in posi-
tons paying less than $1,000 in
past lists" said Campbell. "And
there are lots of such jobs. This
time they want reports ON every
job from dollar up"
The commission "set up a table"
and twenty people have been hard
at work on it.
1t shows the 100000 estimate
placed on all jobs to low, (there's
about 11S,00O) and the $4,000 on
direct presidential appointments
too high-"2O,OOO to $4,000 would
be nearer" said Compbell.

Placed at $4,000, Fully Covered
BY Insurance-Origin Not
Known

The following story of the fire
which destroyed the building and
general merchandise stock of the
Bishop Co., at Park Rapids shortly
before midnight Saturday evening,
Jan. 81, taken from the Park Rap
ids Enterprise of Jan. 26, will be
of interest to many Herald readers
who sympathize with the Bishops
in. their misfortune:
can uncomfortable fire totally de-
stroyed the Bishop Co. store and
building late Saturday evening,
shortly after the store had closed.
Loss on the building and stock of
merchandise is estimated in excess
of $4,000, and is fully covered by
insurance.
Three lines of hose were laid.
and the booster pump put into SER
vice. Firemen fought desperately
to stem the blaze and prevent it
from spreading to adjoining build
ings. Water poured into the build
ing seemed to have no effect, the
fiercely burning contents of the
store turning it almost instantly in
to steam. Fortunately there was
no wind, and the fire was confined
to the four walls of the brick struc-
ture.
1.-THE blaze was discovered by H.
E. Konshok. AS he was passing
the building on his way home he
saw the flames coming through the
floor registers. He Immediately
turned in the alarm, but before the
siren commenced to blow the en-
tire building was mass of flames
inside.
III. N. Bishop, proprietor of the
store, and two of his clerks were in
McNulty's barber shop next door
when informed of the fire. They
rushed to the store, and as they
reached the door one Of the front
windows blew out and the flames
belched forth preventing their en-
try.
Efforts Of the firemen were di-
rected largely to preventing the
flames from escaping the building,
and keeping the corner of the store
occupied by the Office as wet as
possible. This they succeeded N
doing and Sunday morning the
safe was dug out of the ruins and
its contents found to be unchanged
1.-THE origin of the fire is not de-
finitely known, but 1t is believed to
have started from the furnace, and
spread rapidly through the base

TO THE MINNESOTA FARMERS!

At a recent meeting Of the Board ot
Directors of the Minnesota Farmers
Holiday Association, it was decided to
put on campaign to raise funds fol-
legislative purposes in order to bring
about the passage Of farm legislation
such as the Frazier Refnancing Bill
and the Thomas-Swank (Cost of Pro-
duction) Bill, and to bring a test case
on mortgages in this state.
The United States Supreme Court
has ruled on various occasions that any
contract that compe1s an individual or
corporation to render service or sell
a product for less than the actual cost
of rendering that service, or of the
production of that product, become In
effect confiscation of property without
due process of law, and Was therefore
Null and Void.
Many large corporations have un-
der this ruling voided contracts un-
der which they had agreed to render
a specified service, or manufacture a
specified amount of material, and Sc
cured contracts favorable to them
selves.

where the number of dollars will rep
resent the same amount of purchas-
ing power or commodities as was rep
resented by the mortgage at the time
it was made. The general principle be-
ing that when one borrows labor val
ue, or purchasing power. And that
when the value of commodities or labor
decreases in dollar value the number
of dollars specified in the contracts
should decrease accordingly.
The Constitution states that the
Federal Government shall coin and
mint all money and regulate it's value.
In other words, the Government
should keep the relationship between
money on the one hand, and labor
and commodities on the other hand
constant. This it has failed to do.
Since 1913. when the Federal Reser-
We Act was created the Government
has made no attempt to regulate the
value of money. If we succeed IN
bringing the test cases to court and
win, the result will be that those per-
sons who borrowed money on high
levels will not be compelled to pay on
low price levels. Instead the creditors
will receive less dollars than he loan
ed out, but with equal purchasing
power, which in our estimation is fair.
The speed with which we will be
able to enter into these suits will de-
pend on how well funds will be sup
piled by persons interested. 1t is i'm
perative that we secure funds for leg
isative purposes. We must fight our
own battles. No other class of society
is interested in doing it for US. Every
farmer is interested directly or indir-
ectly in the mortgage test case, and
in farm legislation. We farmers as a
class of society, have delayed be-
longing to an organization, and donat-
ing for our own cause, until such
time that we could better afford it. A
year ago we decided to wait for Roos-
evelt. Last spring we waited for the
Farm Bill THAT other classes of Soc
iety wrote for us) to do it's stuff. We
are today having lower price level
for our products than ever. We must
finance our own fight if we wish to
secure for ourselves rightful posit-
ion in society. We appeal to you to do
your share.
