President Harding is putting into practical effect what he promised he would do in the matter of ef- ficiency in the public serv This is particularly notable in the case of appoint- ments to the principal positionyin the census bureau —one of the government bureaus which controls a large amount of what is ordinarily considered as pa- tronage. The work of the census bureau is almost entirely statistical. It has little to do with govern- mental policies. It is highly important, if statistics are to be used at all, that they be dependable and, therefore, it is equally important that the men who have charge not only of the gathering but of the tabu- lation of the statistics and deduction of results shall be men skilled in this particular dine. Mr. Harding selected for director of the census Mr. William M. Steuart. Mr. Steuart is a native of Texas but has spent nearly all his life in the north. He has been connected with the census bureau since 1880, having served ten years as a subordinate in the di- vision of manufactures; then ten years as-chief of the division, and fifteen years as statistician for man- ufactures in the bureau. He served as secretary and statistician for the United States tariff commission from 1917 to 1919, and was assistant director of the census from August, 1919, until his promotion to the directorship a few weeks ago. The new assistant director is Joseph A. Hill, a na- tive of New Hampshire, graduate of Harvard in the class of 1885, a lecturer in the University of Penn- sylvania in 1893, instructor at Harvard in 1895, rep- resentative of the Massachusetts tax commission in- vestigating the European system of taxation, in 1897, and since 1898 engaged in statistical work in the cen- sus bureau. He was appointed chief statistician in 1909 and is a member of the. American Economical association and president of the American Statistical association. If experience may be considered a qualification for a public position these two men who will direct the work of the census bureau for the next four years at least may be considered amply qualified for the work over which they have been given charge. ot ai oe eG REASON AND WAGES. “Wages are coming down,” says Leslie's Weekly, “not because as certain agitators claim, there is a conspiracy of employers to reduce them. Few em- ployers would object to continued payment of high wages if market conditions and the efficiency of la- bor would permit it. They cannot, however, keep up the extreme rates of the past few years, for business and profits have seriously declined. They must either lessen the pay of their helpers, curtail operations or shut down altogether, “This is really understood by the intelligent work- ing man, and he concedes the necessity and the prin- ciple involved. It is wise in him to do so. And that employer is wise who is careful not to proceed farther in this direction than he is obliged to, and who will place reductions on a reasonable basis. Doing that, he will serve himself as well as the men he hires. There will be a better feeling all around, and more efficient co-operation if no attempt is made to take undue advantage of a greatly changed situation. “Fortunately, this idea of the employers’ attitude is very gencrally being acted upon. Moderation pre- veils in the majority of instances. Arbitrary and summary cuts in remuneration are not practiced, and the appeal is being made to the reason and common sense of those employed. This sort of appeal is be- ing met with a sensible and satisfactory response. Fair play on the one hand gives rise to fairness of disposi- tion on the other. Every such example increases the momentuin of the circumstances which are bringing the country back to normalcy.” COAL PRICES. Coal mine operators solemnly warn the people that unless they buy their fuel now there is likely to be great congestion when cold weather comes and the railroads are unable to handle sufficient coal to fill the rush of orders. If there is a fuel famine next winter the blame will not rest with the consumers, but with the producers who have held coal at prices that the people have refused to pay. Two years and a half after the close of the war finds fuel prices at their peak. Deflation has come in every othet indus- try, the people refuse to believe that there is adequste reason for postponing the drop in coal price: It is asserted that miners’ wages cannot be reduced until next April, upon the expiration of an agree- ment entered into with the operators at the direction of the government. That may be true, but the parties to that agreement can always amend it with another. Ard it is a question whether the agreements would probibit the mine operators from employing men not parties thereto at a lower wage. Where there is a Way, and it is ridicuious to expect the people to be- li that the mine owners, if they were so disposed, could not bring the price of fuel within the’ limits of reason and stimulate an immediate demand among the consuming public. o—-———_——_ SURE, IT’S THE BUNK! When a Democrat pretends to advocate certain Re- 5 i turing Re} i | favor of Republican policies they are no longer Demo- y gator of hot water than cold water. crets and if they are no longer Democrats let them come forward to the mourners’ bench like regular converts pray for forgiveness of their Democratic , enter a season of probation to prove they mean business preparatory to joining the Lord’s annointed. Unjess these Democrats are willing to take the pre- scribed course of fumigstion they are seeking to per- petrate a fraud and their tweddle about embracing any of the tenets of the Republican faith, in the language of polite society—it is the bunk. Mr, Underwood of Alabama, floor leader of his party in the senste. recently wrote « letter in sup- port of a Democratic candidate for congress in an interim election and asserted among other things that the old time cleavage between the two great political parties has not changed. That is absolutely true. Many Democratic voters have become advocates of the protective policy, but the Demeecratic organiza- tion is still opposed to protection except for the products of their constituents whose votes they hope to secure by pretending to promote their self-interest. As a matter of practice, there can be no protective tariff put into effect unless it is framed by the real ends of protection. The man who is for protec- tion only on his own industries is no friend of protec- bra stall. He rs shyster omy 4 Sying to.beld Bey seat in congress retending to represent the inter- ests of his constitgents whereas, if re-elected, he will stand with his party organization, of which Mr. Un- derwood is the effective head. (pate toe STRIKE TALK IS FOOLISH. All talk about # railroad strike against the order of the Railroad Labor Board reducing wages effective July 1, is idle. There will be no strike and if there is there will be at least three men ready and willing to take the jobs the strikers vacate, The public, the transportation companies and the shippers need not worry about a tie up of traffic, for if the men now at work do not recognize the neces- sity of deflating railroad expenses and wages in or- der that railways can earn enough to sustain them- selves, the old men who went off the payroll to let the present employes keep on the payroll do appre- ciate the situation, and the necessity. As a general thing the men who run the railroad trains of the country have an excellent quality of horse sense. There is no difficulty in their seeing into as plain a proposition as the one confronting the executives. All cards have been spread out on the table in the hearings, investigations and discussions in recent months. If there is a strike it will be an unreason- able one and will fail for two very good reasons—it will not have the support of the public and there is an ample surplus of unemployed railway men who want work to man all the vacancies that occur. PR ee VITAL TO THE WEST. The Lincoln Highway Forum, a purely unselfish publication devoted to the construction of a system of national highways and the establishment of better means of bringing all sections of the ration closer to- gether has this to say of the Phipps bill: “The Senate Bill, 1072, introduced by Senator Phipps of Colorado, on April 21 and passed by the senate on May 16, contains an amendment to the Fed- eral Aid road act of July 11, 1916, of the utmost im- portance to the western states, which contain large areas of public land. r “From the first the western states of sparse popu- lation, vast highway mileage and relatively small in- comes for road purposes, have been at a decided dis- advantage-in endeavoring to bring about the improve- ment of the important through roads. This disad- vantage has arisen from the fact that the large amount of money appropriated by congress to assist the states in constructing highways, has been pro- rated to the various states without consideration be- ing given to the fact that certain of the western states have as high as over 90 per cent of their land area still owned by the Federal government and bringing in no revenue to the states’ road funds, The states have been compelled to endeavor to build long mile- ages of improved road through these public land areas. Yet they have received only 50 per cent of the im- provement cost from the federal government, the seme ratio received by those states in which no pub- lic land exists. “The Phipps bill is designed to correct this unjust inequality in the distribution of the remaining funds previously appropriated by congress as aid to the states for highway building. It provides that the gov- ernment will pay 50 per cent of the total estimated cost of approved’ road improvement projects in every state, with the exception that in any state contain- ing unappropriated public lands exceeding 5 per cent of the total of all lands in the state, the share of the United States in the cost of the road improvement will not exceed such 50 per cent of the total estimated cost plus a percentage of such total estimated cost equal to one-half of the percentage which the area of the public land bears to the total area of the state. *In simple language, this means, for example, that in the case of a state in which 90 per cent of the land area was still public land, the federal government would meet 50 per cent of the cost of highway im- provement, plus 45 per cent. The cost of the im- provement would come 95 per cent from the Federal treasury and 5 per cent from the state’s funds. “If western states are to be able to meet their Fed- eral aid appropriations and continue the ambitious program of highway construction now so well started, they not only should have, but must have, the as- sistance which the Phipps measure will provide. Oth- erwise the highway funds of these states will be de- pleted in the attempt to match the federal dollars and in a very short time the states will find themselves with inadequate maintenance funds so necessary to keep up the improvements accomplished in the past. “The senate passed the Phipps bill promptly. The house should act on this measure with equal prompt- ness.” a GENTLEMAN IS OUT OF ORDER. Who is this fellow Gallivan, holding a seat in con- gress from Boston; and what business has he to at- tempt to interrupt the celebration of Independence Day at Jersey City? He desires to forbid, by his resolution, any international contest to determine the world’s championship until the soldier’s bonus bill is passed. What has the soldier’s bonus bill to do with the running debate between the friends of Messrs. Car- pentier and Dempsey? The gentlemen who will benefit by the soldier’s bonus bill have their arrange- ments all made to be present and are aware the funds arising will not be advisable before the entertainment. oceurs and the kale will be much more appreciated afterward than beforehand. They are aware also that it is unreasonable to expect an overworked congress to lay aside its interest in an affair in which France and America are once more joined in demonstration of the traditional devotion to the same high ideals. In all probability the legion and the congress will felicitate about the ringside on July Fourth after which congress will return to Washington and prompt- ly pass the bonus bill. If Mr, Gallivan does not care to attend the festiv- ities at Jersey City, he is weleome to spent a quiet Fourth at home. He ought not to be permitted to have any firecrackers, either. The natonal budget system is now a reality and will begin to function with the ensuing fiseal year. Samui Sat SS ca Our Mexican diplomacy requires one thing to make it entirely successful. One guess.
