ARIZONA
IN WASHINGTON
BY BOB MERKLEY

The United States was to have
a new Treasury building. Every
thing was ready, but the place had
not been chosen. Then someone.
so the story goes, met the Presl-
dent one day in the middle OF
Pennsylvania Avene.
Where are you going to put the
new Treasury" he asked. And the
President, having become impatl-
ent with the long delay, jabbed his
cane at the ground where he stood,
and answered: Build it right here
The President was Andrew Jack
son. and the time was little
over a hundred years ago. Today
the United States Treasury stands
souareIv across Pennsylvania,
blocking the busiest street in the
national capitol.
The building is of sandstone and
granite with Ionic columns copied
from the Temple of Minerva in
Athens. With the proper surround
ings, it could have been beauti-
ful sight. 1t is enormous and state
". But it stands like a rampant be
tween the White House and the
shopping district of Washington.
Many taller buildings look down on
its roof.
Like most government buildings,
the Treasury has its own museum.
There is the draft which paid Rus
sia for the Territory of Alaska,
three checks that served as pay
ments on the Panama Canal strip,
and the flag from the Presidents
box at the Ford Theater on the
night of Lincoln's assassination.
One room in the Treasury is
known as the Cash Room. 1t is here
that Treasury checks are brought
to be exchanged for cash. It's daily
transactions often run into millions
of dollars.
On the floor with this Cash Room
is a postoffice. Entering it a few
days ago in search of postage
stamps, l offered a five-dollar bill
in payment The man at the win

Senator Kelly Urges
Young Demos to Back
Civil Service In State

Urging that Arizona's 10000
Young Democrats aggressively
campaign for state adoption of a
merit system of employment for
governmental employees, Sen w.
b. Kelly of Graham county. re-
Gently pointed to the advantages
of a career in public service and
praised the progressive program
of the younger citizens.
'The greatest step forward in
elevating the standard of our gov
ernment would be the adoption of
a merit system of civil service for
city. county, and state employees -
Senator Kelly declared.
Recalling the thousands of ap-
plicants who flooded the office Of
Arizona's two most recent COVER
nOrs-pOinting TO their disillu-
sionment and the inability of the
chief executives to place great
numbers in state jobs - Senator
Kelly vigorously supported the
ideals of a continuing tenure in the
public service.
Positions with any branch Of
government operating under civil
service regulations offer careers
in public service to young men
and women" the SENATOR said,
"and we all recognize the self
evident fact that if there is a
future" to his job, every employe
will do a getter job
Senator Kelly drew a sharp an
alysis between the relationship of
employer and employe in private
enterprise and in the government
service. The general relationship,
he said. should be the same.
There is no logical reason for
a whole army of governmental
workers to walk out of offices
every two years in favor of mex
perienced workers" he said.
"That is not consistent with the
Young Democrats program for.
the promotion of good administ'
ration. for efficiency, honesty,
economy, and integrity in political
life"
With the adoption of a plan OF
civil service for all subordinate
government employees, Senator
Kelly said. eve will have taken a.
long step in elevating politics to
higher level"
Aside from the efficiency IN
service and the economy that will
be brought to government, civil
service measures will tend to-
bring more intelligent action on
the part of voters, Senator Kelly
explained. with the advent OF
merit rule in public service, peo-
ple will vote for candidates on the
basis of platforms for good rath-
er than because someone will pc

Interesting talks were had on
present day problems. the main
subject being the relation between
law enforcement and youth. Every
father and mother worries about
children going astray, there seems
to be no possibility of prohibition,
and no way to stop the use OF
narcotics. We have laws prohibit
ing the sale of liquor to minors,
and laws prohibiting the sale OF
marijuana to anyone.
If these laws are not enforced, our
children will not have a chance to
reach the goal of good citizenship,
and we ask every law abiding cl-
tizen in Arizona to vote carefully
in the coming election. We must
have officers who will be for law
and order. experienced and capable.
In Pinal county we have the as
surance of a sheriff, who, if elected,
will uphold our laws and we have
endorsed Mr.. Ace Gardner, ana
will give to him our vote anu
support on September 18th. And,
if elected, we will look for his sup
port in law enforcement when he
takes office.
