In short, it’s the old plague of patronage troubles w.th some new aspects. Poison in the Life-Blood Patronage, in New Deals as in Old is the life-hlood of political organism-, but the blood stream grts clogged now and then w.th poisons which produce many a headache —especially. ; appears, in the present Admini-tration. Republicans were more callous with the job-seekers, and liolder in grabbing the favors. President Roosevelt has -offered from the patronage headache. More so has Postmaster-General James A Farley, who is in charge of the pit-counter. So. also, to lesser degret no*.,, o'her officials. To near congee -men wail, one would think their headache is continuous. To understand the sporadic bellow from Capitol Hill about jobs, one has to r member that a Congressman must continue to be, in the minds of his constituents, a big man with influence if he wants to be re-elected, and that he can't continue to pose as a big man with influence if he can t get jobs for his friends. In ma-t cases he promised them lavisnly. This explains the Democratic Congressman's lament.

In the bad-errand is the clash of a new -v *-ni, to winch President Rno-f.i'l! at least gave lip service, with the old system of "to the victor brini es the spoils." which Andrew Jackson installed. President Roosevelt came into office apparently determined to repla ee the |ks:’ sysirni with a merit svstem to extend tlv civil service. He set the tone for reform when he railed into hi.

"What system is that?" he inquired. M Farley, while appeasing the job hunger in many directions, did not have complete sway. He had htie luck in some of the emergency agencies and ran up against a series of stone walls in such officials as Mr. Ickes. Mr. Wallace, Frances Perkins. Secretary of Labor, and Harry L. Hopkins. Federal relief administrator. These people, contemptuotis of politics, drew many Republicans into their service. These were just so many jobs that "deserving Democrats" could not get. And there comes the rub. There is the clash which strikes fire so often. That explains the recent protest to the White House by a special committee from the House, one in a series that began long ago. The President sought to soothe them by promising that one person in rarh government agency would be delegated to deal with patronage problems, and by assuring them that bureau chiefs henceforth would be more courteous. More potent, though, was the promise of Speaker Byrns that soon there would be 10 000 jobs in the I CC. which congressmen would be privileged to dole out. Reassuring ’.’ ires sped at once to the boys back home. TOMORROW: Farley Doubles in Brass.
