RAMSPECK
URGES FULLER
CIVIL SERVICE

Robert Ramspeck, chairman of
the House Civil Service Commit
tee, presented a trio Of reasons
for extension of the Civil Service
system by the Government last
night as he appeared on a nine
star" radio program, celebrating
National Civil Service Week.
Speaking under auspices Of the
National Federation Of Post OF.
flee Clerks and the American Fed
GRAFTON of Government Employees,
Representative Ramspec de-
clared that operation of the Gov.
ernment under full Civil Serv-
ice would develop greater eff
cheney, and would relieve mem
bers of Congress from a burden
which CONSUMES much Of their
time and energy" adding:
eve are not equipped to con-
duct employment agencies and
do not have the time to make
proper investigation of appli-
cants for positions. We also
need all of our time to study
legislation. BY removing this
problem we can make 1t possible
for us to better prepare our
selves to perform our legislative
duties"
DEPLORES JOB PRESSURE
In the third of his suggestions,
the legislator advocated abolishing
of the pressure" placed upon
members of Congress under the
patronage method of filling posi-.
tions, saying:
"My third reason is that mem.
bers Of Congress, as legislators,
have the duty of creating new
positions and apprOpriating
funds therefor. We all have ap-
plicatiOnS from friends we want
to please and whose political &C.
tivities in our behalf we deeply
appreciate. In meeting this
pressure, we must ask the execu-
tive branches of the Govern
ment for positions for these
friends and i'm that way we put
pressure ON them for the crea-
ton of additional jobs.
81 am sure that we all agree
that the Government should not
employ unnecessary employees,
therefore If we are to have econ
Omy and prevent the employment
of persons not needed for ef-
ficient service, we must elimi-
nate the constant pressure for
creation of jobs"

Collected IL
Tons Paper
Proceeds To Be Used For
The Purchase Of
Uniforms
EXPECT $4,000 POUNDS
Jim Arneson Headed Troop
With 1888 Pounds
Gathered

Expectation that the 22,68O
pounds of paper, scurried together
and put into storage Saturday in
the Troop Is Boy Scout uniform
drive, may he stretched to $4,000
pounds by Saturday, date for ship
ment, was voiced by Scoutmasters
this week. Into the final stages Of
a paper drive that rounded up more
than eleven ton of old newspapers
and magazines, the Troop an
nounced that If anyone has old pa
per they still want picked up, SIM
ply call the nearest Scout.
Heading the troop by far and
away was Tenderfoot Jim Arneson,
who in the short time of a couple
of months had hauled 1928 pounds
of old papers and magazines first
to his house, and Saturday depos-
tied it into storage. Jim, one Of the
new Scouts formed into the latest
patrol, has recently signed his in
tention to attend the Washington
National Jamboree. Following him,
two other Scouts were staging a
paper duel when they weighed in
Saturday. Only fourteen pounds
put Russell Larson out in front of
Bob Rattle. Each of these had
something over 1900 pounds.
All day Saturday about sixty
Scouts trudged to the storage
warehouse on the Great Northern
tracks, bringing their paper if it
weighed less than 500 pounds.
Meanwhile a truck whizzed around
all over town hauling the loads
that were over the quarter ton linn
it. Still with some to be gathered
together before the shipping date
1t is felt that the total may be
boosted to $4,000 pounds. Each
Scout was weighed in with exactly
the paper he had collected. Money
derived from the sale Of the paper
will be parcelled according to the
amount each Scout has. The fund
will be set up for uniforms, and
will be available to the Scout only
for that purpose, said Scoutmast-
ers.

Commissioner GiveS Detailed
Account of Water, Light Plant

Fire hydrants were installed and
the pumps, water mains, ETC., were
made much larger in order to
furnish fire protection service. The
only way the City pays for this is
through hydrant rental.
Is the Sank Centre rate high or
too high?
It is not "too high" as 1t so near
ly yields the amount necessary to
pay the annual charges.
Whether it is high means how
does 1t compare with rates in 9TH
er places and this is difficult to de-
termine with exactitude.
The rate for neither water or
electricity in large city can be
compared with the rate In a small
place for the reason that density
of population and the number of
gallons used, per dollar Of invest
ment, works to great advantage In
the large cities.
Many large hotels, office build
ings, and factories each use more
water and electric current than
does the whole City OF Sank Centre
