ORIGIN OF TAMMANY HALL

New York City's Tammany Hall is
as old as Uncle Sam. 1t was estab-
lished in 1888 as the Columbian So
ciety by an Irishman named Mooney.
In 1905 it was re-christened Tam
many after an Indian chief. with 13
tribes. IL sachems. under a grand
sachem; a sycamore or moster of
ceremonies. and a wiskinski or door,
keeper. Politics were injected by
Aaron Burr. and Tammany Hall has
since been the rallying ground for
the Democratic party in the metrop-
oils.
Not letting well enough alone has
given us some great inventions.

e worse than the Itch u

"It's worse than the Itch.
That's the way Representative Ross
Collins, Democrat, Of Mississippi today
described the job Of running the
House Subcommittee on Appropria-
tions, which handles the District ap-
propriations bill-a job that Is re-
ported to be picked out for him II
the only eligible member, Repre-
sentative George w. johnson, Demo-
crat, Of West Virginia, declines to &C
cept 1t.
In the first place, johnson has not
yet definitely made up his mind
whether to take the assignment. He
Is entitled to 1t by virtue Of the fact
that he Is the sole remaining Demo-
crat on the subcommittee that framed
the 1887 District appropriation bill.
The only other member OF that sub.
committee Is Representative Otter OF
Pennsylvania, and since he's Re-
publican, he can't even qualify TOR
the job II he wanted it.
johnson said the question whether
he Is to head the subcommittee dur
ing the new session Of Congress is
still up in the air"
Assignment Not Welcome.
Like Collins, johnson doesn't really
want the assignment. But Chairman
Buchanan of the Appropriations Com
mittee Is the boss, and johnson, like
a model soldier, proposes to obey or
ders. And before johnson has any
thing more to say for publication
about the Job he plans to talk 1t over
with the boss.
In the meantime, however, Collins
has become quite upset about the re-
ports that he may be assigned to the
Appropriations Committee, and given
the task Of directing the framing Of
the 1898 District supply bill. He said
he doesn't know who started the
rumors, but announced publicly he's
not a candidate for the job.
II would like to be on the Appro-
priations Committee, he admitted
frankly. But don't want to have

new BILL AIMED
AT JOB INFLUENCE
Civil Service Appeals Board
Proposed by Representa-.
tive Jenckes.

A bill designed to remove one Of
the last vestiges Of political in
fiuences" among civil service en-
ployes IN Federal and District de-
partments was introduced today by
Representative Virginia z. Jenckes.
Democrat, Of Indiana, . member Of
the House District Committee.
The measure provides for creation
Of . Civil Service Board Of Appeals,
which would be empowered to con-
ciliate and settle differences arising
between employees and department
heads. Ths commission would be
composed Of three members appointed
by the President-one representing
the Civil Service Commission, another
representing department heads and
the third representing the employees.
Privilege Of Appeal.
The Board Of Appeals would be Of
service particularly to Federal and
District workers who may be dis
missed, suspended or reduced in rank
or pay. The bill specifically provides
that such employees would have the
privilege of appealing to the board for
adjudication of their cases within 90
days.
The board would be vested with au-
thority to hold hearings. review rec
ords in the case, investigate the
facts" and under such regulations as
1t may prescribe Ito consider and de-
termine the final action to be taken
by \ majority vote"
The bill also provides that should
the Board Of Appeals reverse or mod
ify the decision OF . department or
independent ONCE by . majority vote
the employe involved shall be restored
to his former position and, If no dis
ciphne Is warranted, payment shall
be made for the salary lost during the
period Of removal. reduction or sus-
pension from duty.
Need Il Recognized.
Ever since coming to Congress"
said Mrs. Jeuckes, Il have recog-
nized the need Of q United States
Civil Service Board Of Appeals
Il am sure the Civil Service Board
Of Appeals will mark . step forward
in the advancement Of q general merit
system in public service. It will re-
move for all time the stigma Of Gov
eminent employees being required to
invoke political influence in order
to appeal from discharge or demotion.
1T also will remove from admin
istrative executives the unfair charge
Of autocratic bureaucrats. believe
it will make for . more efncient and
more loyal public service. and 1t should

NEW DEAL STEMS
HIGH COURT TEST
Review Refused in Case At
tacking Social Security
Tax on Employers.

After refusing at this time to re.
view the constitutionality Of the social
security act, the Supreme Court yes
terday set aside . conviction under
the Oregon criminal syndicalism law
but upheld the latest New Deal prison.
made goods legislation.
The court also refused to pass on q
Philadelphia case attacking the valid
ity Of legislation barring recovery Of
floor stocks taxes paid under the
A. A. A. unless it could be shown the
tax was not passed on to consumers.
. The refusal to review the social
security law was announced in an at.
tack filed by George p. Davis Of Bos-
ton on the section imposing . tax
on employers Of eight or more per-
sons for the benefit Of the unemployed.
The old-age pensions provisions Of the
act were not involved in this case.
No explanation was given of the re-
fusal to review, but it was assumed
the action was taken because the
case had not gone through the Cir
cult Court Of Appeals. With both the
Government and the complainant
joining in the request, the review was
sought after the District Court had
upheld the tax. Presumably a re-
view will be sought again when the
appellate court acts.
Conviction Set Aside.
In the Oregon case the court set
aside the conviction and seven-year
sentence imposed on Dirk De Jonge,
the justices holding he had been de-
prived Of his constitutional right Of
free assembly and free speech.
The unanimous opinion, delivered
by Chief Justice Hughes, said, I'VE
hold that the Oregon statute as ap-
piled to the particular charge as de-
fined by the State court is repugnant
to the due process clause of the four
teenth amendment"
De Jonge had helped organize q
meeting In Portland called by the
Communist party and had made q
speech at the meeting In his opin-
ion, the Chief Justice said:
THE people through their legisla-
lures may protect themselves against
that abuse (of the right Of free speech
and assembly,. But the legislative
Intervention can find justification only
by dealing with the abuse. The rights
themselves must not be curtailed.
"The greater the importance of safe
guarding the community from incite-
ments to the overthrow Of our insti-
tutions by force and violence, the more
imperative Is the need to preserve in
violate the constitutional rights Of free
speech, free press and free assembly
in order to maintain the opportunity
for free political discussion to the end
that government may be responsive to
the will Of the people, and that
changes, II desired, may be obtained
by peaceful means. Therein lies the
security Of the republic. the very foun-
dation Of constitutional government" I"

Collins Wary of Opportunity

anything to do with the District BILL"
And Collins spoke from previous
experience. Some years ago he was
. member Of the subcommittee that
had charge Of the District bill. Later
he was shifted to the subcommittee
which handled the more important
War Department appropriation bill
and before he left the House to run
for Senate seat he was chairman Of
that group.
So; II Collins is fortunate enough
to draw IN assignment on the power
full Appropriations Committee. he
wants to 60 back to the subcommittee
that framed the War Department
supply bill. That was his last
love" in Congress and now it's his
first.
Friend Of the District.
Anyhow, Washington remembers
Collins - . friend Of the District
when he served on the subcommittee
which framed its appropriations bill.
And even though the job Of running
the subcommittee may be worse than
the itch" to him, II johnson turns it
down, he is regarded as the most
likely choice among the new MEM
bers-new because he did not serve
in the last Congress-to be selected
for the post.
There are three vacancies on the
subcommittee to be filled before 1t
begins work on the 1898 supply bill.
One Is due to the defeat of former
Representative Blanton, Democrat, Of
Texas, who was its chairman at the
last session. Another resulted from
the death Of Representative Jacobson,
Democrat, Of Iowa, and the third
from the transfer Of Representative
Cannon, Democrat, of Missouri, to
head the subcommittee in charge Of
the agriculture appropriations bill.
Chairman Buchanan Of the Appro-
priations Committee said he would
not fill any Of the vacancies until the
Ways and Means Committee makes
up the shortages existing in the full
committee.
