Civil Service Plan Hit

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S pro-
posal that single administrator
be substituted for the three-man CIV
il service executive board was Sc
verely criticized by the Brookings
institution as tending to "invite en-
croachment of politics rather than
to repel it."
The institution report, drafted by
Lewis Merriam, questioned the feas-
Utility of the plan and doubted
whether it would achieve the Presi-
dents purpose of taking the civil
service commission out of politics.
Religious and political affiliations
would present difficulties in selec-
ton of a single administrator, the
report pointed out, adding that the
proposed plan would represent too
much Capitalization of power in an
Individual.

Secretary Roper said.
He asserted that the undistributed
profits tax had not entirely fulfilled
its proponents expectations that it
would "bring about a higher veloc-
ity of money through larger and
more widespread distribution of cor
porate earnings"
Mr.. Roper expressed confidence
that Constructive approach will
be found to the solution of the utili-
ties dilemma and that significant
results will be forthcoming"
That this confidence has a sound
basis was indicated by two an
nouncements made the same day
by prominent utility executives.
Floyd L. Carlisle, chairman of the
Consolidated Edison company, told
the New York state public service
commission that his company plans
a $25, 1000 expansion program.

Sharing Uncle Sam

THAT Great Britain is seeking po-
u litical as well as economical adj
vantages from the proposed trade
pact with the United States was in
dictated in an address by the earl of
Derby before the Liverpool Cham
Der of Commerce, of which he is
president. He told the Chamber that
America cannot keep out of Euro
pean entanglements and predicted
that the trade pact would tighten
the links between the United States
and Great Britain.
Derby's speech followed one given
by Herschel v. Johnson, American
charge d'affaires in London, during
which johnson warned indirectly
that the Americans would not per-
init the pact to have political
strings.

need of such assistance as revision
or repeal of the tax on undivided
corporate SURPRISES and capital
gains. Mr.. Roosevelt had said he
was in favor of tax revision as soon
as congress was ready for it. But
such legislation must originate in
the house, and the subcommittee of
the ways and means committee that
has been studying the subject had
not yet reported. So it appeared
almost certain that action must be
postponed until the regular session
which starts in January.

BUILDING Boom Wanted

p EVISION of the existing housing
An law in order to facilitate a
building boom was asked by Presi-
dent Roosevelt in special message
to congress. He said such legisla-
ton would ease the flow of credit
and open great reservoirs of idle
capital to fight the business slump.
The responsibility for the success of
such program he placed squarely
on labor and industry.
Specifically, the President recon-
mended changes in the housing act
which would:
l.. Reduce from 5h per cent to S
per cent the interest and service
charges permitted by the Federal
Housing administration on loans
made by private institutions.
2. Authorize the housing admin
istrator to fix the mortgage insur-
ance premium charge as low as "
of 1 per cent on the diminishing
balance of the insured mortgage in
stead Of on the original face
amount, and to Va of / per cent on
the diminishing balance of an in
sured mortgage where the estimat-
ed value of the property does not
exceed $1,000 and where the mort
gage is insured prior to July /, 1889.
8. Increase the insurable limit
from 80 to 80 per cent in cases
where the appraised value of the
property does not exceed $4,000.
A. Facilitate the construction and
financing of groups of houses for
rent, or for rent with options to pur-
chase, through blanket mortgages.
5. Clarity and simplify provisions
for the construction of large scale
rental properties through facilitat-
ing their financing.
Il 8. Grant national mortgage asso-
Citations explicit authority to make
loans on large-scale properties that
are subject to special regulation by
the federal housing administrator"

Bus Strike Settled

INCREASED pay for drivers but
no closed shop were main fea-
lures of the agreement by which the
six-day strike of 1900 drivers of
the Greyhound Bus line was brought
to an end. The strike had disrupted
transportation in the northeastern
section of the country and was &C.
companied by numerous incidents
of violence. The wage increase,
effective next July l, will be one
fourth of a cent a mile, and no
minimum milage is guaranteed. The
union had demanded a flat rate of
SIS cents a mile with a 200-mile-a-
day guarantee.
