Show THE BINGHAM NEWS, BINGHAM, UTAH, Proposed Reorganization of the Diplomatic and Consular Services By .SECRETARY OP STATE HUGHES, Letter on Rogrers Bill dm The diplomatic service is greatly underpaid. It is well known that a man without private means, whatever his ability, cannot accept the more im-portant posts of ambassador or minister. Of more immediate importance, however, is the fact that the salaries of secretaries in the diplomatic service are so low, the choice of candidates is restricted largely to young men of wealthy families who are able and willing, to a considerable extent, to pay their own way. It follows that there must be an increase in the salaries of diplomatic secretaries to broaden the field for selection. That would eliminate the necessity for the use of private incomes and permit the relative merits of candidates to be adjudged on the basis of ability alone. Furthermore, if young men of the greatest ability and intellectual ambition are to be attracted to the service there must be the prospect of conspicuous ability and fidelity will be rewarded by promotion. The consular service, on the other hand, while better paid, suffers from great limitations as a public career. There is no prospect of promo-tion beyond the consular service. It is with difficulty that many of the best men are retained because of the tempting offers constantly made to them by the business world. There would be two distinct advantages to be realized from an amal-gamation of the two services on an interchangeable basis : First, those highly desirable benefits of economy and efficiency which would accrue through a system of combined administration. Second, a more effective of the political and the economic branches of the service. On the other hand, the present scale of consular salaries already is recognized as inadequate. To reach the problems more effectively I have deemed it of first im-portance that a new and adequate salary scale should be adopted. After a very careful examination into the actual requirements of these positions, it is thought that the scale of salaries proposed in the revised bill, which ranges by regular increments from $3,000 to $9,000, would suffice for the purpose which we have in mind.

Sneers an insults are often heaped upon the heads of op-erators sometimes without the least provocation. Let there be one slip in her service and she gets a blowing up, and if she dares talk back she is re-garded as overbearing, but if she extends a hundred kind-nesses those favors are soon forgotten. The telephone girl is one of the public servants who serve people in & manner that could not be compensated for entire-ly in dollars and cents. Did it ever occur to you the secrets she could tell about you and your family life if she cared to do so.' When wfe critize her we should investigate ourselves first, did we talk at the tele-phone instead of talking into it. Many errors are due to care-lessness on the part of the pa-trons. Although many telephones have been installed since pub-lication of the last directory, many phones had been installed many weeks before it was pub-lished, yet those names and numbers were omitted, which fact is another source of trouble to the operator and one, which might seem trival to the patron. When telephoning it would be a good idea for subscribers to think at least once before they turn the handle on the tele-ho- ne box and by doing so elim-inate many of the troubles that the telephone girl has to endure to-da- y.

CHESTERTON, In "What I Saw In America." At the American consulate in London, while having my passports reg-ularized, I encountered the American international examination paper. One of the questions it propounded was, "Are you an anarchist?" Another was, "Are you in favor of subverting the government of the United States by force?" and I felt like saying, "I prefer to answer that question at the end of my tour and hot at the beginning." Still another question was. "Are you a polygamist?" j The answer to this is, "No. such luck," or "Not such a fool," accord-ing to our experience of the other set. But perhaps a better answer would be that given to W. T. Stead when he circulated the rhetorical question. "Shall I slay my brother Boer?" the answer that ran, "Never interfere in family matters." 4 But among many things that amused nie almost to the point of treat-ing the form thus disrespectfully, the mo6t amusing was the thought of the ruthless outlaw who should feel compelled to treat it respectfully. I like to think of the foreign desperado seeking to slip into America with official papers under official protection, and sitting down to write with a beautiful gravity: "I am an anarchist I hate you all and wish fb de-stroy you." Or, "I intend to subvert by force the government of the United States as soon as possible, sticking the long sheath-knif- e in my left trouser-pock- et into Mr. Harding at the earliest opportunity." Or again. "Yes, I am a polygamist all right, and my 47 wives are accompanying me on the voyage disguised as secretaries." Conviction That Education Is Substitute for Work Rather Than a Tool By JAMES J. DAVIS, U. S. Secretary of Labor. We have allowed the conviction to grow among many of our younger citizens that education is a substitute for work rather a tool to work with, an end rather than means. The ultimate outcome of this system continued without reform or amendment would be the crration of a nation where every man and woman would have the learning of books, and none would have that learning of the hands which is so vital to national prosperity and progress. We must restore the dignity of labor by teaching the trades in our schools. We must offer to every child that training of hand and heart, as well as head, which will enable him to go forth into the world equipped to care for himself and to take his place as a citizen, a credit to himself and an asset to society. My ideal is to turn out of our schools children equipped wrth a high school education, as that edu-cation is now known and a trade. v.
