Personnel
Increases

of more than 10000
in three months. That is, there has
been that much 'of an increase for
which the commission has records, but
again it must be remarked that the
commission has no way of compelling
some of the alphabetical agencies to
supply it regularly with the number of
employees on their pay rolls.
The number of federal employees
aside from the military services when
Mr.. Roosevelt took office was approx
imately 5S5,OO0. The number of en-
ployees on the federal pay roll when
Mr.. Coolidge retired and Mr. Hoover
became President was roughly $4,000.
From these the enormous growth of
the government bureaucracy is at least
limited if not demonstrated fully.
Then, there are more yet to come.
Several new agencies were created
under acts of the last congress and
others have since been created by
executive order of the President. Take
the Rural Rehabilitation administra-
ton, for example. Prof. ReXford Guy
iuSNCli, VIM uSCu " Dc VI ain u uSlcI
No. 1, has a fund of $25O,OOO,OOO with
which to play and obviously Mr.. Tug
well will need great staff to assist
him. The National Youth administra-
ton is another new one. 1t will not
have as much money as Mr.. Tugwell
but it is starting its operation with
$4,000, 00O-and that is quite chunk
of money to most of us. The National
Labor board is hardly organized yet
and the Social Security board has
just begun to arrange a setup. Like
wise the board to administer the Cuff
fey coal lava little NRA for the soft
coal industry-has been appointed and
is operating with only a few clerks.
1t cannot get along without a stable
corps of inspectors and examiners and
investigators. 1t will have to have an
extensive research staff in order that it
can be supplied at all times with what
ever facts and figures it needs or
almost amending.
One newspaper columnist had the
audacity to say in his column the
other day that if Relief Administrator
Harry Hopkins really wants to solve
the unemployment problem he ought to
turn his attention to the government
itself. At the rate of expansion, the
government probably could be made to
absorb the 100000 unemployed to
whom Mr.. Hopkins was preparing to
give work by December 1.
.
December l is hereabouts. But Mr..
Hopkins has not succeeded in his much
80, publicized plan to
where's give all Of the $500
the Jobs? 600 unemploye
workers jobs. He
was doomed to failure from the start.
He announced. 1t will be remembered.
that all federal relief was to end on
November 1. by which time he figured
that made-work would be available for
the 100000. This figure was the top
most limit for which the federal gov
eminent was to be responsible. The
states and municipalities were to take
care of the remainder of roughly
100000 who had to have help.
November 1 came along and Mr.
Hopkins changed the date to December
/ He did this after consultation with
the President who announced with con-
siderable emphasis that he meant just
what he said and that federal relief
was going to stop as Of December l.
But 1t seems the machinery was too

Washington.-One Of the New Deal
policies about which there is an ever
increasing complaint
ignore is its wantOn destruc-
Ciuil Service ton Of the civil serv-
ice. 1t used to be
said, under Democratic and Republican
administrations alike, that it was next
to Impossible to get government job
except through examinations conduct
ed by the Civil Service commission.
That is, there were few appointments
available other than under civil serv-
ice below the rank of Presidential
selection. Now, the scene has changed
to such an extent that there is little
chance to get in the government
through civil service and the bulk Of
the appointments therefore are of a
purely politically-indorsed character.
do not mean to say that the Civil
Service commission has shut up shop,
although it has been virtually de-
horned, but l do emphasize that as
of September 3O-the latest pay roll
figures for the government-the num-
Der of civil service workers was only
slightly more than half Of the total
on the government pay roll exclusive
of the army, navy and Marine corps
and Civilian Conservation corps.
The Civil Service commission con-
tinues to issue it's monthly statements
on the government personnel but they
are becoming increasingly less reliable
because one of the most difficult things
to get in Washington these days is the
accurate figure on the number of
workers employed by Uncle Sam. The
commission records are complete as
far as they go but they fail to go far
enough. At this time, for example, the
Civil Service commission reports that
the government pay roll covers 194,-
467 employees. That figure, however,
does not include the vast army of en-
ployees of the Agricultural Adjust
ment administration who are scattered
in every county in the nation. / have
heard estimates that the number of
these county chairmen, inspectors, in
vestigatorS, ETC., exceeds 10000 but
whether that is too large or too small
! cannot be sure for the reason that
there is no way by which the number
can be checked. Similarly, it is next
to impossible to ascertain the number
of workers in some of the newer agen-
cies, created under the guise of emer-
gency conditions, because they too are
scattered far and wide but the fact
remains that the personnel Of the gov
eminent has been expanded more rap
idly than ever in history and to the
highest recorded peak even for war
time.
The number of employees on June
80 was given by the commission as

state authorities, T. H. Harris,
state Superintendent of education,
said today.
Like his political boss Senator
Huey Long. Harris is at war with
the Roosevelt administration. Har-
ris' grievance is that the FERA
did not consult him before APP
pointing w. b. Hatcher as direc-
tor of the federal adult education
program in Louisiana.
He retailated by refusing to let
the FERA use public schools for
it's adult classes. Then he notified
all parish school boards not to de-
pend on any fedora aid in fixing
their budgets, because there
wouldn't be any federal aid.
Last term the FERA contribut-
cd S996,OO0 to Louisiana schools.
Without this aid, schools in Fl
parishes would have had to close
several months early.
Harris said he "didn't know" if
there was enough state money to
keep the schools open a full term,
hut if there wasn't, they would
close.

TRADING.
TO OPEN SOON.
County Pupils Again To
Be Aided By Camp
Minnehaha

Camp Minnehaha campers have
again volunteered their services to
operate a book exchange in Hen
Jacksonville for the EXCHANGE of all
school text books, in order that
the county school children may
secure needed text books
A committee will call at each
school in the county on Tuesday
to get those books the pupils have
been unable to trade in their own
school. These books will be TAX
en- to the exchange in Henderson
vile and there classified ready
for sale on Thursday, 412 North
Main St.
Each book must have on the
inside cover:
/. Name of school.
2. Grade pupil is in now.
8. Name of pupil.
4. Price wanted for book.
5. Books pupil desires to buy
second hand.
The greatest care will be taken
of the books but the exchange will
not be responsible in case of any
loss. Out of the eight hundred
books handled two years ago only
one was misplaced.
The exchange will be open next
week on Thursday and Saturday
from eleven to five o'clock. Loca-
ton of the exchange will be next
to Shelton's feed Store, Az North
Main st.
If there are any folks that have
any books or magazines they are
willing to donate, please leave
them at the exchange or Shelton
Feed Store on Main st. These
books and magazines can be ex-
changed for text books in Ashe-
vile and thus make it possible to
give many children text books
who would otherwise have to GO
to school without. Also if anyone
has crayons, scissors, pencils, tab
lets or colored papers which they
will donate, these will be shared
with the different schools to be
given to those children needing
them.
