THE HOOsIER EDITOR

A LMOST any one else would
L n have called a blacksmith, or a
plumber or a garageman, but this
man didn't, even though he was due
at party and wanted to be there.
His son, it turned out when the
man got home to dress for the party,
had been imprisoned for the entire
day in a upper lumber jacket. He
had run the slips over his tie as he
dressed.
When he got to his third-grade
class he couldn't get the jacket off.
The teacher clipped his tie off, and
the youngster elected to stay it out,
Upper on.
Well, when papa got home the
whole affair amused him. He set
about getting his son loose and after
working for about an hour, presto
there he was.
It was pretty much of lark, a
sort of problem that the man and
his son worked out together.

The operator was pretty surprised

called headquarters and said that
there was a sized battle going

Also, men were lying around all
bandaged up, the voice said, and
something ought to be done about it.
Right away.
Even though it did not seem
logical, police went over to City Hall
and peeked in. Sure enough there
were a lot of people lying about

THEY tell me that years ago a
l. great local figure in finance in
indianapolis also was addicted to
riding horses. One day the proprie-
tor of neighboring tavern was as
tOnished to find three Workmen at
his place, ready to exchange the
single front door to a double front
door.
After hours of arguing dur
ing which he was unable to convince
the Workmen that he had not or
dered the job, our hero galloped up.

workmen with indignation, utterly
ignoring the proprietor, haven't you
done that yet? I wanted to ride in

A Christmas story about James
"A Clark McReynolds, conserva-
tive associate justice of the Su-
preme Court, has just come to
light.
Justice McReynolds, born during
the Civil War and a product of the
days when there really was a Santa
Claus as we'll as many horse and
buggy, was honor guest at yule-
tide party in residence possessing
a great fireplace and an 8-year-old
girl.
The justice, standing before the
fire and surveying the little girls
abundant gifts, said in his deep
voice, We'll, this must have been
the chimney that Santa Claus came
down for you.'
The young lady, puzzled but po-
lite, made noncomrnittal reply.
but later asked:
Mother, who is that old gentle
man? Doesn't he know I'm 8?
Why did he want to tell me that
old-fashioned story?"

RAIDING FHE CIVIL SERVICE
BY Representative Frederick r.
Lehlbaeh % New Jersey

With cruel directness, the New
Deal has raided the Civil Service in
every branch of the Government and
has systematically evaded all pre-
tense Of merit administration in the
new agencies created by President
ROOsevelt's laws and Executive Or
ders.
Government employees with 10.
IS. 20, even 30 years Of service have
been rooted out of their jobs to
make way for party workers.
The morale of the whole Federal
service has been undermined. For
merIy, the Civil Service rules and
regulations we're a protection to
conscientious workers. Now, all
these protective rules and Tegula-
tiOns are swept aside.
This raiding of the classified Civil
Service personnel mas been going on
systematically. and with great inten-
sity. for more than three years.
AS member of the Civil Service
Committee of the House. who serv-
ed for IA years as chairman, l have
seen the Civil Service grow and ex-
pand under every Administration.
But in March. 1888, the whole pro
cess was reversed. The New Deal
began to tear down a system of mer-
It administration which had been
laboriously built up over a period of
so years. since the PendletOh Act OF
1888.
The New Dealers have added more
han 25O.0OO people to the direct
full-time Federal payroll. But the
number of Civil Service employees
loes not equal one to every 100 new
)ayrOllers.
In addition, they have added an
,ther 100000 part-time or per diem
workers.. They have also rooted out
approximately 10000 employees in
he older agencies. to make way for
friends of the New Deal
All this means that approximately
1000 jobs have been made avail
bic to the spOils managers of the
lew Deal.

decision of the Supreme Court.
In order that a proper determine
tion may be made IN the case OF
those farmers who signed and fled
applications for wheat contracts and
adjusted acreage, it will be neces-
sary to measure the acreage planted
to wheat last fall for harvest this
summer on these farms. In other
words, the Federal government has
regarded it as an obligation to make
these benefit payments on the basis
that farmers reduced their wheat
acreage last fall in compliance with
the terms of the l936-1929 contracts.
although no contracts were actually
signed.
For the purpose of planning to
measure this wheat acreage, and the
preparation Of budget to cover the
expenses of this compliance work, a
meeting of the Board of Directors of
the Kent and Sussex County Wheat
Production Control Association was
held on April in the basement of
the State Board Of Agriculture build
ing in Dover. AT this meeting field
supervisors were appointed. and
plans formulated for starting this
acreage inspection just as soon as
possible this spring.
Within the past week most of the
farmers who signed the 1933-1935
wheat contracts have received their |
second benefit payment for 1895, |
which completes the payments on
these former contracts. The allot- |
ment committee has been working |
on number Of suspended compli- /
ances in an effort to finish all work |
in connection with the 1888 1885 |
wheat program.
