HE SAYS
Utah Senator Wants
Law to Protect
Only the Fit

Charging inefficiency among
Government employees, Senator
William H. King Cd, Of Utah.
chairman of the Senate District
Committee, today asked for revi-
sion of the Civil Service to bring
about a more satisfactory and
efficient" administration.
The Senator stated that he Is
dissatisfied with the Civil Service
and it's administration, and that
he objects to any extension Of it.
Will Oppose 1t
He referred to the many plans
for extension Of the Civil Services
and for the blanketing in of some
100000 workers in the new Fed
eral agencies, and announced that
he would oppose any such meas
ures. He said:
Instead Of bIanketing into
the Civil Service thousands Of
employees, many of whom are
inefficient and many of whom
are political appOintees regard
less of merit, I would set up
proper standards and ascertain
by further examination and in
quiry into the efficiency or
inefficiency of the workers, and
separate from the service the in
efficient.
HERE TO STAY
'While 1 am not in favor Of
the Civil Service, 1 believe it is
here to stay, and because it is
here to stay, every proper ef-
fort should be made to make it
as effective as possible so that
the Government will get proper
service.
II think some plan should be
mapped out whereby we could
encourage efficiency and in
creased production by increased
compensation in the Govern
ment service as is done in indus
try, a plan under which the
financial reward would be COM
menSurate with work done in
stead of by automatic promo
ton regardless Of merit"

NAVIGATION ERROR
BLAMED IN WRECK.
Exploration Ship Off Course
Before Disaster, Sur
vivor Says.
~ the Associated Press.

REYKJAVIK, Iceland, September
ls.-A mistake in naviga ton on the
part of the experienced officers IN
command was blamed today for the
foundering Of the French exploration
ship Pourquoi Pas in which 80 lives
were lost, including that Of Capt. Jean
Charcot.
The vessel went on the rocks and
sank Wednesday with all hands save
one, Eugene Gouildec, a quartermaster.
who last night told of the events lead
ing up to the disaster.
Partly recovered from exhaustion
resulting from four hours in the wild
sea before he was cast up on shore,
Gouidec said the vessel had got of
her course.
Oficers, he said, were frantically
trying to get bearings when the ship
piled onto the jagged rocks Of Ice
lands bleak coast.
Wrong Course Taken.
He was on the dog watch, Gouidec
said, when he was sent below to get
charts. An officer, he said. told him
navigators had taken the wrong
course, mistaking the Akranes Light
house for Seltjarnarnes.
Gouidec said he was below when
the Aston ship struck.
He said the bow was cleanly broken
of and the foremast snapped off
to the deck.
Capt. LIE Connait, he said, ordered
all to try and save themselves. One
by one the men leaped into the rag
ing waters and all except Gouidec
either drowned or were dashed to
death on the rocks.
The lone survivor said Capt. LIE
Connait made heroic effort to save
the ship by hoisting sails after water
had put the engines out of commits
sion.
Crashed Into Rock.
The craft only bounced around
helplessly. crashing into rock known
as "Hnokki" which has been the
doom of several ships in the past.
Gouidec said when he jumped he
saw Charcot still standing on the
bridge with Capt. lie Connait.
He and another sailor climbed on a
floating gangway, but the waves soon
washed his comrade to his death.
Gouidec lost consciousness for
about four hours and remembered
only that he woke up in a farm house
to which he had been carried from
the beach where he was cast up.
% Bodies Recovered.
The % bodies, including that OF
Capt. Charcot, already recovered,
will be brought to Reykjavik tomor-
row.
The Icelandic explorer Vilhjalmur
Stefansson, who hurried here, said of
Charcot:
His death is one OF the greatest
losses that could happen In the field
OF exploration. Much valuable in
formation obtained on his last voyage
probably has been lost"
A French destroyer was steaming
toward Reykjavik last night to re-
turn the bodies Of the victims to
France.
1t was revealed yesterday that two
scientists, Drs. Robert Gessain and
Michael Perez, escaped the disaster
through their eagerness to return
home after the expeditions seven
week trek across Greenland.
When the Pourquoi Pas first touched
iceland, they transferred to a faster
ship.

ORIGINAL EXPOSITION OF THE
CURRENCY QUESTION BY A PLAIN
PRACTICAL A GRICUL TURKS

as written promise that will redeem
ever may make demand, together with
the return of the stone to me-"
That was the first money. For con-
venience we will call it dollar. Let
US analyze exactly what it stood for.
First, it was a receipt, certifying that
Aman had received certain services
from Beman. Secondly, it constituted
pledge that Aman would render a
service of equal value in return.
Thirdly, it was negotiable, redeemable
as to whenever and to whomsoever"
might so present it for redemption.
If Aman could have discharged his
debt at the time Beman helped him
move the stone, then no money would
have been needed. But the payment
was deferred, and therefore, the first
money was Acknowledgements pledge
and every dollar since has been the
same.
The point may be illustrated by
tracing an imaginary course of the
marked stone as it served as "med-
ium of exchange" Suppose that Be-
man meets up with Ceman, mighty
hunter returning from the chase laden
with the spoils thereof. Beman con-
scious of the needs of his family,
longs for portion of the meat Ceman
carries, and he decides to put to the
test Aman's invention by explaining
it to Ceman and proposing the ex-
change of the stone for meat. The
trade is made, and later Ceman seeks
Aman, who may have been an expert
spear maker, and bargains to apply
the stone on payment for a new spear
head.
The interval may have been long
or short between the time Beman &C.
cepted the stone from Aman and the
time he received the meat from Conan
as actual pay for his labor. And like
wise the time it took till Ceman re-
ceived his new spear head, but it il
Illustrates that characteristic of money
that gives it the nature of "defer-
red-payment pledge"
The life cycle of the first dollar as
visioned herein, was marked by it's
use but twice as a medium of ex-
change, but as the same dollar may
so function in an unlimited number of
transactions, its ultimate redemption
is indefinitely deferred. This makes
