Too Late, Too Late!

WHY, oh why, didn't they do it last year3
w This is the inevitable reaction this week to the
announcement that Government officials have set to
work to perfect simpler income tax return form
for next year.
While you are deductng the sum of Item 81 and
Item "A from Item 6, as directed in Instruction 27A
you may get little consolation from the news.
Not only will the forms be smplified, but it is
planned to rewrite the instructions that they will in
struct instead of confuse.
So if you don't go to Jail for inadvertently failing to
comply with the instructions the return that is due
at the end of this week. you will have less strenuous

experience in administering the
executive branch of government
reinforced his faith in the merit
system.
During his second term he add.
ed more than $4,000 places in the
civil service to the classified list.
This brought the whole number
up to 86,932 under the protection
of the merit system. ....
Cleveland shared with "the
Father of His Country" an aboni-
nation of what Washington called
"the fury Of party spirit" A be-
lever in the two-party system as
a means to an end. the end with
him was always honest, economi-
cal and Constitutional govern
ment.
He held it to be true that pub
lie office is a public trust" It
was a public trust that he admin
istered every public office to
which the people elected him.
In his first annual message to
Congress, in December, 1885,
which he wrote out with his own
hand, Grover Cleveland went to
the support Of civil service reform
by the extension Of the merit sys.
tenn in these words: :.
"The alIurements of an i'm.
menSe number of offices and
places, exhibited to the voters
Of the land, and the promise Of
their bestOwal in recognition Of
partisan activity, debauch the
suffrage and rob political action
of its thoughtful and delibera-
tive character. e..
PARTY SYSTEM
"The evil would increase with
the multiplication of offices. .
The mania for office holding,
growing from its indulgence,
would pervade our population
SO generally that patriotic pur.
pose, the support Of principle,
the desire for the public good,
and sOlicitude for the Nations
welfare would be nearly ban.
iShed from the activity of our
party contests and cause them
to degenerate into ignOble, self.
iSh, and diSgraceful struggles
for the possession of office and
public place" a..
Mr.. Cleveland recognized the
necessity Of political parties. He
did not deny their legitimate ad-
vantages but he abhorred bitter
partisanship.
In the Judgment Of Mr.. Cleve-
land, civil service reform did not
require that those in subordinate
positions who fail in yielding
their best service, or who are in
competent, should be retained
simply because they are in place"
Civil service law does not pre-
vent the discharge of the indolent
or incompetent clerk but it does
prevent supplying his place with
the unfit party worker. ,.. -.

ernment of the Constitution is tho
great protector of all the people

objections have seemed trivial and
a great to do about nothing.
Monday, however, the Oregon
Senator's stand brought the mat
ter to a head and resulted in a
full debate. At the conclusion he
won the support Of Majority
Leader Joseph T. Robinson and
there will be no more stepping
over the traces-that is, until the
next time.
The matter which finally capped
the whole situation was the In
clusion In the Congressional Rec

concerning the Supreme Court
question. The Record has been
getting heavier and heavier as the
flood Of protests and letters Of
support has mounted.

Senator Kenneth McKellar intro

debate by exclaiming:
"Mr. President, If We are to

the resolutions on this subject,
particularly in protest, we shall
be here until the middle of the

of the Conscience Fund, which was

of one contribution of $50, 1000. The

So ended the letter Of the great.

or fuss over the return Of this
prodigal than there was over the
girl who, back in 1895, wrote this
letter to Grover Cleveland:

Whenever and wherever Amer

their national life they will re-
member those leaders who believed
that the Constitution is made to
control the Government, it has no
other object"
One Of these leaders was Grover
Cleveland, who was born in Cald-
well, New Jersey, one hundred
years ago this month. Like so
many young Americans of his own
day and of the present he was not
fortunate enough to be able to OBJ
tain a college education. He had
hoped to go to Hamilton College
in Clinton, New York, which was
his boyhood home. But this hope
was dashed by the death of his
father. He had to 60 to work to
help support his mother. He found
employment in Buffalo as a clerk
in a law office and four years
later was admitted to the bar. He
made his own way in the world.
He conquered difficulties and OBJ
stacles by his own efforts.

On the wave of that national
recollection which will sweep over

Perhaps some Senator or Repre-

which holds all that was mortal
Of this rugged American, will be
moved on the coming anniversary
Of his birth to bear witness in the
Congress to the simplicity of his
life, the inspiration of his example
and the enduring influence of his
faith in the American system of
government.
One Of the great causes for
which Mr.. Cleveland fought dur
ing both Of his terms in the White
House was the enforcement by law
Of Civil Service reform and the
extension of the merit system of
appointments as a protection to
the Civil Service Of the Federal
Government.

be recalled that this used to be

see them calmly clapping not as

the widest jungle venture calls
for as great courage as that
homely virtue we so often ignore
the virtue Of simple cheerful.
ness. When you come right down
to it, good nature is about as diff
ficult a task as anyone could
tackle.
I'm thinking Of little old nun
as I write. She was so merry al
ways, finding a chuckle in the
plainest happening. The other
sisters might be more learned and
skilled.
She only had this knack of
cheerfulneSS to gild and warm the
quiet, convent hours. Only when
she had passed away, all life
seemed shabbier-robbed of the
quickening magic of her smile.
And in her prayer book someone
found these words:
SIMPLE WORDS
'NO matter how disagreeable
your work, or how much trouble
you may have, resolve that
you will keep sweet, that you
will not allow your disposition
to sour, that you will face the
sunlight. The determination to
be cheerful will discourage mul-
titudeS of little worries that
would otherwise haraSs you.
"If you cannot get rid of a
trouble, do as the oyster does
with a grain Of sand that gets
into the shell and irritates it.
Cover it with a pearl"

but how they go to the core ot
living for us all! For whether
