LINCOLN COUNTY NEWS, LINCOLNTON, N. C, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1921. LINCOLN COUNTY NEWS, LINQO LNTON, N. C.t THURSDAY, DECE MBER 8, 1921. G. O. P. PAYROLL, unaimu LARGER promised Reduction Was Only Scheme To Let Democrats Out. iBy H. E. C. Bryant, in Charlotte Ob.) Washington, Dec. 1. It was charg ed by the democrats months ago that wnuhlicans were camouflaging the people when they said they would reduce the number of federal jpftceholders. Thousands were to be pot out for money saving purposes. At the time all ot this taut was going " your correspondent called attention to the fact that the republican scheme was to let our democrats and then till their jobs with their own partisans. The scheme has worked out, or is working out. It will be recalled that the government was so poor that a lot Of proniDU-on emorce--"-." -4rs had to be dropped. A hue and ry about this caused some of these to be restored. But in other de partments democrats were dropped, end later succeeded by republicans. Nine months of the Harding al Bjinistration has passed and prom ises to redute the horde of govern ment employes taken on during the raw iivt nor. been fulfilled. Now comes the word that certain pro gressive republicans are going to de mand an explanation. The adminis tration leaders will be asked whv the reductions have not netted more than three or four thousand. Tnterestins- discoveries are ex- Jbeeted. On the fourth of March it was estimated that 85,000 person;; were on the federal payroll, holding positions in the national capital. Be fore the outbreak of the war that ll carried but 37,000. To the sur prise of many congressmen who have been looking into the matter the total now seems to be between 8ir 000 and 83,000, showing a very slight reduction under the circumstances. Ten thousand, most of them demo crats, were cut off, but 6,000 wert pat in the places made empty. The present tendency is to climb bacK up instead of go down. The clamor for patronage pie is so great that the leaders can't reduce. Unless Con gress takes action to prevent it the payroll of Uncle San will be back on the war basis before many more months roll by. "The reformers of the G. 0. P started out with ' a brass band, anil got lost in the crowd of office seek ers, said a xrouDiesome today. "The reorganization commis sion was created to speedly reduce the cost of governing the people. We have been told from time to time that this organization was going for ward. It seems to be slipping back now. About all the commission has done is to find jobs for more people." Congress is a little weary of com missions. They fall short of the'.r nri Pinal mirtioses. The reclassifica tion commission has cost the govern ment a half million dollars, ine agricultural commission of Con press is another. 0 l "What are these commissions ao ing?" the republican quoted here asked. "They just lay awake at night thinking of something new to keep busy on," he answered. "Why, they have been sending out question naires to the business men of the country calling for statements of their profits and losses and other ex norienees since the year 191.5. me questionnaire system is a" fine one for keeping men and women empioyeu. We have 250 bureaus in this town, all of which are trying to keep m existence. Every head of a branch to fio-ht if anv of his employes are taken away from him. We are under a bureaucratic form of government rather than a republican." Trouble is brewing for the prom ises and camouflages. The patron age pie has about been distributed, and there is no real reason for certain republicans to stick to the administration. In fact, itwinproc popular to do a little knocking. The program is formulated, and the coming session of Congress w;h witness many outbreaks. is sail to have made no comment on tl proposed Harding "Association of Natkfns," but has sal that "re sent events" show unmistakably that the United States is headed towards i membership in the League of Na tions. Close, friends are reported to have said that th views the present conference as a,servere blow to the enemies of the league who wanted this parley in order to obtain some thing that would prevent a strong political reaction that would achieve the Heals expressed in the league and that in place of this the confer ence is promising to put this country into the League of Nations. The Best is the Cheapest in the Long Run Tax Notice RUMORED THAT FORMER PRES1 DENT WILL CALL LEAGUE AD. VOCATES TOGETHER Washington, Dec. 2. Rumor here today was busy with the report thSS ProsiHpnt Wilson is soon to call uDon those who with him be lieve in the League of Nations to get busy in a new effort to vindicate the principles the league emhodies. The rumor is on ine statement at tributed to a recent caller on Mr. Wilson that he had said that the time had come to test the sincerity of those who said they were opposed to the league on "American" grounds, the former President being quoted as oaTin4 ho airl no!- hel '"' Senators could 'save their faces if they were now called upon to vote on the ques tion of this country entering the league under reservations safeguard ing all American rights. It is said that he pointed out that Great Britain. E ranee.

Senator Lodge has written to a moving picture star who presented him with a revolved that gunplay in Discovery In Jerusalem Solves Much Of Mystery Connected With King Solomon's Temple. How often great discoveries spring from trifling incidents! The trite re flection comes to mind naturally on hearing how the quarries of King Solomon were found. Dr. Allen! Moore, for 17 years a resident of J Palestine ,tells the curious tale. For many, many years, says Doctor Moore, travelers and arhaeologisls were puzzled to know where the enormous blocks of stone still stand ing in the ruins of Solomon's tem ple at Jerusalem were quarried. Oilo day a little dog chased a lizard j down a -hole among- the debris. The jnext instant the dog also disappear ed . His master, coming to the opening-, peered down in vain. He called and to this amazement his voice came back as from great depths. He summoned assistance, and a pas sage ws opened into immense sub- terrnean auarries. There Carolina wound up its semi-annual convention at Pir.tjhurst today with a business meeting and an extensive schedule of entertainments. The only resolution of general interest that was passed was one calling upon the ra tional government to increase its -activities against the boll weevil and the pii.k boll worm, "which threaten the jrosperity of our southland and a disaster to our Vhole country."
