U. S. TO AID DROUTH VICTIMS
(TuIare Advance -Register)

After five years of drouth miserable living
conditions and lack of crops, the nations dust
bowl" is to be evacuated under government as
sistance The federal relief administration
nounces that it will aid families hopeleSsly
stranded in the dust swept to re-eStabliSh
themselves in new locations where it is possible
to breathe pure air and work at making a liv-
ing.
Upwards of 100000 families are to be re-
moved from the sandswept hills and plains of
the dust bowl in parts of Oklahoma, Texas,
New Mexico, Kansas, the Dakotas Wyoming,
Colorado, Montana and Nebraska sections OF
ten states being affected.
dust sufferers is of particular Importance to-
hundred thousand victims of the drouth have
come to this state most of them penniless
through no fault of their own and many OF
them almost Immediately becoming an added
burden upon the taxpayers of this state.
With federal aid it is probable that large
portion of the population in the dust bowl will
be relocated in other parts of the mddleweS
and mountain states While quite a few may
settle in California, they will be given a start
by the federal government and a reasonable
opportunity to- become self supporting and de-
sifabe citizens. All of which will be cor
siderable improvement over the former policy
of allowing them to wander homeless and shift
for themselves. There is ample room in Cali
fornia for much larger population, and the
people of this state are glad to welcome good
citizens from any part of the United States pro-
viding that they are self supporting, honest and
industrious.

Shades of President Wilson E. NeIC
Order Better and Worse

WASHINGTON-President Roosevelt's order
placing all patronage poStmasterships under
civil service is both better and worSe-trom
the standpoint of the merit system ideal-than
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS bill o similar ef-
feet which was beaten by Republican opposition
in the last Congress.
Under the bill Democratic postmaSters could
have been blanketed into the civil service for
life-assuming the Democrats won the November
election. If Republicans won, the offices could
have been thrown open to competitive exam
ination.
Chief significance of the executive order is
that it restores similar order by President
Wilson which makes mandatory the selection Of
the candidate with the highest rating in the
competitive examination for the job.
Harding abrogated the Wilson order and gave
the poStmaster-general the choice from among
the three leading candidates, which usually
worked out 50 that Republican got the job
Chief weakness of the executive order is
that it can again be abrogated and the first,
second and thrd-clasS poStmaStershipS affected
thrown back to the spoilS-men
But Governor Landon has come out so strong
ly for the merit plan throughout the postal sys-
TEN that it is only fair to believe he would
insist on retaining the principle Of appointing
the man who passes with the highest mark
If Roosevelt is reelected, he unqueStionably
will keep the order in effect until such time
permanent legislation may be enacted. The Or
der gives him the power to reappont Democra-
tic poStmaSterS-aSSuming they can pass non
competitive eXamlnatlonS-fOr four more years.
Or he can name classified civil service employees
in the postal service in case of vacancies.
On the other hand, he can call for competi-
tive examinations as fast as terms expire or
other vacancies occur. A Republican president
il he were to preserve the order in force, would
almost certainly insist on competitive exam
inations Immediately as term expirations and
vacancies occurred.
Republican comments include the fact that
Roosevelt could nave issued his executive order
at any time in the last 31a years and the charge
that he has acted in the face of a strong public
demand and a strong position taken by Landon
AL OF which is true enough-and it's also
true that no president has ever stood up under
such congressional pressure for jobs as came
early in this administration.
The counter pressure of public opinion for
the merit system, however has become increas-
ingy effective through the last go years.
The present president "unblanketed" from
civil service protection about 300 employees OF
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce
(Hoover's peD and ITO at the Soldiers Home
IN Johnson City, Tenn, which utterly in
