This was made clear yesterday from a ‘stoum close to President-elect Roose- velt. It was pointed out that Mr. Roosevelt, while Governor of New York, had ad- hered to the underlying principle of civil service—namely, that tenure of position should depend on merit, and that the Jacksonian theory that “to the victor belongs the spoils” was entirely foreign to the President-elect. ‘While civil service is protective to a degree, it s no absolute “guarantee” to retention of a job, in that it permits removal for “cause.” There also is to be considered the fact that thousands of tions have been brought under civil service by executive order, as suc- ceeding Presidents sought to extend the application of the merit system, and t the same procedure—executive or- der—could take them out of civil service and throw them open for whomever it was desired to give them. For many years, however, Presidents have been more inclined to put workers under civil service than to revert to the “spoils system,” and to judge from Mr. Roosevelt’s attitude in the past, he likewise will follow this program. There are more than 108,000 Federal positions that do not come under civil service, and many of these are in the led | “rank and file” category, but here, too, succeeding administrations, irrespective of J'iluu. have proceeded with dis- cretion in causing ugl:czmen'&, ac- cording to who have been inti- 10 mately in touch with the machinery of Government.

Half the doctors in the United States had net incomes of less than $3,800, 15 per cent of them less than $1,500, and 4 per cent lost money in the boom year of 1929 at the peak of American | prosperity, according to an exhaustive study of the earnings of physicians | made public today by the Committee | on the Costs of Medical Care, headed | by Secretary of the Interior’ Wilbur. The report states that although a few physicians have exceptionally large in- comes a greater proportion have earn- ings inadequate to support their fami- lies than in any other learned pro- fession. The physicians have been very hard-hit by the depression, the report shows. Incomes declined an average of 17 per cent during 1930 and figures for the first six months of 1931 showed a still sharper drop. It is believed this has been progressive up to the present. Final Report Tuesday. The final report on medical costs will be made st & of the com- mittee in New York City next Tuesday. Recommendations also will be made based on the five-year study of means of reducing medical costs to the gen- eral public.

Approximately 142,- 000 physicians wers ged in active practice at the end of 1929, it was found. Of these 121,000 were in private practice and about 2,100 held salaried positions. The average net income of physicians in private practice was $5,467—about 61 per_cent DF their gross receipts. The report points out that the median net income of physicians, $3,827, was slightly higher than that of dentists, $3,781. In general, the more prosper- ous the area the higher the physicians’ income. Gross incomes were highest in the Middle Atlantic States and cn the Pacific Coast, while they sank al- most to the vanishing point in the South Central States. Small Town Incomes. The average net income in commu- nities of less than 5,000 population was $3,200, as compared with an average of $6,900 in cities of more than a mil- lion inhabitants. The highest average net income, $7,300, was received by physicians in cities 67 from 100,000 to 500,000 population. Complete special- ists received an average net income of $10,000; partial specialists, $6,100, and general practitioners, $3.900. The peo- ple of the United States spent ‘a!prm- mately on a per capita basis $3.55 for compiete speclalists, $1.95 for partial 1+lists, and $3.40 for general prac- titioners. { The study revealed that physicians | normally collect only about 80 per cent of their charges.

(Continued From First Page.) California will permit beer to come up without insisting on light wines.” Representative Snell, the Republican leader, who returned to the Capital yes- terday, declined to discuss beer legis- lation, but indicated he would express his_views shortly. Colijer divided the problem of beer legislation into three parts. He gave them as: “First, content. “Second, determination of the proper the declaration of alcoholic X. “Third, methods of distribution.” He said the decision on alcoholic con- tent rested with the Judiciary Com- mittee. The Mississipplan emphasized that yesterday’'s meeting dealt only with frocedure and not with merits of the legislation. . Questioried regarding a general sales tax, Collier said it “would offer another source of revenue,” but added: “I doubt whether any serious efforts will be made to press the sales tax this session.” Collier said he favored repeal of 3- cent first-class postage, repeal of the check tax and abandonment of the Federal gasoline tax. Committee members present at the meeting, included: Collier, Rainey, Doughton of North Carolina, Ragon of Arkansas and Vinson of Kentucky, Democrats, and Hawley, Treadway of ‘Massachusetts, Bacharach of New Jersey and Watson of Pennsylvania, -Re- publicans. Speaker Garner, the Vice President- elect, announced that the Democrats would seek early enactment of a farm relief bill and expressed the hope that it would be a non-partisan measure. Plan to Rush Measure. Plans to push such a measure were made following conferences between Mr. Roosevelt, Garner, Rainey and Chair- man Jones of the House Agriculture Committee and other Democratic legislators. Rainey and Jones were designated to arrange drafting of a bill. Rainey said he would ask farm leaders to.confer with him prior to the opening of Con- gress_and that hearings would begin during the first week after it assembles. ‘The basis of the measure will be the allotment plan, Rainey said, which would provide at least $250,000,000 a year for the farmers. Three hardy perennials of agricul- tural legislation—farm relief, Philippine independence and mortgage financing— are expected to come before the “lame elect Roosevelt’s conferences. During his campaign, Roosevelt stressed the need for making the tariff effective on farm produce, giving fats and oils the full measure of protection and refinancing farm loans at a rate of interest sufficiently low to permit dis- possessed owners to regain their lands. Scope of Farm Relief. While “farm relief” broadly encom- passes any legislation of benefit to ag- riculture, it has come to represent within the last 10 years a program to control surplus production and make the tariff applicable to agriculture as well as to industry. It is regarded as entirely possible that the proposed con- ference of farm representatives in ‘Washington before December 5 will find the American Farm Bureau Federation holding out for the old equalization fee, the National Grange for the export debenture and the newer school of thought pulling for the allotment plan promulgated by W. R. Ronald, editor of the Mitchell, 8. Dak., Republican, and his associates. It is conceded no group will oppose substitution of any one or all of the plans for the stabilization clause of the agricultural marketing act as admin- istered by the Federal Farm Board. Under the allotment plan the Agri- culture Department would estimate the probable production of a surplus crop, the probable domestic consumption and producers would be issued Treasury certificates for the amount of the tariff per unit of measure allotted to them individually as their share of the do- mestic production. Marketing Arrangement. to.producing 1,000 bushels of wheat and the department found that the domes- tic market could absorb 800 bushels of his crop he would be given negotiable certificates of 42 cents a bushel on that amount in addition to the market price, and the remainder would have to be sold at_prevailing world levels. The certificates, at first, would be paid out of a revolving fund estab- lished for that purpose by appropria- tion and later out of the accumulation cf excise taxes collected from producers at the point the commodity entered channels of commerce. The plan contemplates placing a 2 cents a pound on hogs, and possibly embracing tobacco, on which a duty would have to be fixed.

Upon receiving his report, Judge Given refused to try Socco _and announced he would find out why the man was sent to court in his condition.

Just what would have happened to Socco if he had been tried and freed, no one at court was able to say. He said he had no money, no relatives in ‘Washington and no place to stay. He was returned to the hospital for treatment and the case against him continued indefinitely. Dr. E. C.

CINCINNATI, November 24.—At least one woman blames women for a part of |the unemployment among American men. She is Miss Mary Anderson, for- mer immigrant and factory worker, who | was here today to address the American | Federation of Labor convention. Miss Anderson, director of the Wom- en’s Bureau of the Department of La- bor, says many American fathers with children to support are jobless because women will take work paying only $4 and $5 a week. “But what,” she asked, “can be done about t?” “Women don’t want to take low | wages,” she said. “But they have to take whatever they can get. “Women have dependents just as men have. Women have decrepit parents :nd helpless little brothers and sisters, 00.” She used figures to illustrate how women workers have increased, often to the accompaniment of wholesale dis- charging of men. “There were two and one-half million more women employed in 1930 than in 1920. They got one-third to one-half less pay than men were getting for the same work. “Hence, many employers, finding they could hirc women for less than they were paying men, fired" the men and took on more women workers. “It used to be the competition of im- migrants that hurt American labor— now it’s the competition of women; and from women it is extending to Negro men and Negro women.” ‘The only way American women can raise their working standards is through crganization, Miss Anderson believes, bue she does not countenance the idea | of a seperate labor union for women. ENGLISH TEXT BOOKS’ REVISION DISCUSSED | Teachers Consider Effects of Usage in Gathering at Memphis for Session. | By the Associated Press. | MEMPHIS, Tenn., November 24¢.—The question of whether dictionaries and text books should be revised to suit the people, or the people’s language revised tionaries was a topic for conversation here today. Professors and school teachers dis- cussed this matter on their arrival for the annual convention of the National Council of Teachers of English. The opening session will be held tonight. A majority of 229 judges, including authors, editors, business men and teachers, approved in a survey conduct- ed for the council, such expressions as “It is me,” and “had rather,” as well established in “good colloguial usage.” The judges, in deciding also that “farther” and “further” might be ac- cepted as synonymous and arriving at the same conclusion about “shall” and “will,” explained that the important part of English, as they saw the matter, was to worry a little more about clari- fled thought and a little less about the formalities.

The entire area from FPifteenth to Seventeenth streets and from the Ellipse north to H street will be closed off.
