ADMINISTRATION MUST HAVE FAITHFUL EMPLOYES Otherwise Policies Cannot Be Executed and Popular Government is a Failure There probably is no one better qualified to speak of the proper relation which the civil service bears to the administrative agencies of the government than John H. Bartlett, first assistant postmaster general. Until his appointment to this position a month ago, Mr. Bartlett was president of the United States civil service commission, and is an authority upon the practical workings of the civil service commission in connection with the federal government. In commenting upon President Harding's recent order dismissing 32 officials from the bureau of engraving and printing, which order has been severely criticized by some civil service reformers, Mr. Bartlett in an authorized statement says: "It would seem to be reasonably sound doctrine that in a government by the people when a new administration comes in with a fresh mandate from the people to carry out certain policies it should have the privilege of having a perfectly free hand to select all those higher officials to whom must be entrusted administrative policies and executive discretion. If it can not have this power the will of the people will be defeated. "It goes without saying that an administration desirous of accomplishing great reforms and of carrying out great policies must surround itself with men and women whom it can absolutely trust. When I say trust I mean trust with its secrets as well as with its funds, for it is well known that the opposition to any power is constantly on the alert to make the administration a failure. Federal employees who are constant tale bearers to the minority party are a menace to the success of an administration." Without attempting to define eith- ing great reforms and of carrying out great policies must surround itself with men and women whom it can absolutely trust. When I say trust I mean trust with its secrets as well as with its funds, for it is well known that the opposition to any power is constantly on the alert to make the administration a failure. Federal employees who are constant tale bearers to the minority party are a menace to the success of an administration. "Without attempting to define either by maximum salary or by descriptive language just where civil service should leave off and administrative officials not under civil service should begin, it is very clear to everyone who knows that this administration has carried forward a very progressive policy with reference to civil service, not only as to the highest officials but also as to the great body of federal workers not possessing administrative functions. The civil service commission has found the president intensely interested in this work and prompt to back it in all those forward movements in order to make legal civil service within its legitimate sphere better, more practical and more business-like. Anyone who attempts to charge that this administration has shown any idea of uprooting is charging what he can easily know to be absolutely unfounded. "The only real division of opinion is how high up shall civil service go. This emphasizes the necessity of defining where civil service should end. Having that definition fixed once and for all, then, when that is done there is necessity of perfecting civil service as a great personnel agency of the government, developing it to the limit within its properly defined sphere, insisting that it keep within that sphere, leaving to any administration the right to carry out its own policies surrounded by those in the higher positions who are loyal and enthusiastic for its success. "One prevalent idea is that civil service progresses in proportion as it reaches up to take in higher officials. This is wrong. This should not be the test. A better test is that it progresses in proportion to the progress it makes in perfecting a system of handling the lower paid routine servants of the government whom it is clearly intended to protect. The great body of workers of the country should not change from administration to administration. Efficiency of government as well as justice to the employees demands this.

NOW. THEREFORE PRUNING WILL GET RESULTS Fruit trees, fruit vines and bushes, as well as flowering bushes, require careful pruning to get the best results—fruit and flowers. There is some difference of opinion as to whether the pruning should be done in the fall or in the early spring. Despite the argument as to the time, the pruning is absolutely necessary if crops are to be the best possible under weather, soil or other conditions that may prevail in any particular locality. In pruning fruit or flowering trees and vines it is well for the one who wields the pruning knife to know just how to do the work. One not acquainted with the operation would best post up on the task before one seriously wounds the trees or vines. It is not a difficult task, but one that is as necessary each year as cultivation—for crops cannot be expected unless the proper attention is given. WHEREAS, said Board of Trustees as the legislative body of the City of Anaheim, found and determined that said petition was signed by not less than one-fourth (1-4) in number of the qualified electors residing within the above described territory, as shown by the registration of voters on file in the office of the County Clerk of the County of Orange, State of California, and WHEREAS, the said petition contains a request that the said legislative body of the City of Anaheim call a special election within the boundaries of said territory for the purpose of submitting to the electors therein residing the question of whether said new territory shall be annexed to, incorporated in and made a part of the City of Anaheim, and WHEREAS, on the 17th day of February, 1922, the said legislative body of the City of Anaheim did pass and adopt an Ordinance designated as Ordinance No. 415, entitled, "An Ordinance of the City of Anaheim calling a special election to be held on Tuesday, the 4th day of April, 1922, in certain unincorporated territory in the County of Orange, State of California, and contiguous to the City of Anaheim, proposed to be annexed to said city; providing for the holding of such election and submitting to the electors residing in said territory the question whether said territory shall be annexed to, incorporated in, and made a part of said City of Anaheim, designating said territory by the name of "North and East Addition," establishing an election product and polling place in said territory, appointing the officers of election for said special election, and providing for the publication of notice of said special election;" and WHEREAS, in pursuance of the provisions of said Ordinance No. 415, and in accordance with the provisions of an Act of Legislature of the State of California, entitled "An Act to Provide for the Alteration of the Boundaries of and for the annexation of territory to Municipal Corporations, for the incorporation of such Annexed Territory in and as a part thereof, and for the Districting, Government and Municipal Control of such Annexed Territory," approved June 11, 1913, and all acts amendatory thereof and supplementary thereto, and designated and referred to as the "Annexion Act of 1913," notice of said special election was published for a period of not less than four successive weeks immediately preceding the date of said election in "The Fullerton News," a newspaper of general circulation, printed, published and circulated in the City of Fullerton, being within the County of Orange, State of California, and outside of the incorporated limits of the City of Anaheim, the affidavit of the publication of which said notice is on file in the office of the City Clerk of the City of Anaheim, which said notice did distinctly state the date of said election and the proposition to be submitted to the Electors thereat, to wit: that it was proposed to annexe to incorporate in, and make a part of the City of Anaheim the territory sought to be annexed designated as "North and East Addition," the boundaries of which are hereinbefore described, and which said boundaries were specifically described in said notice, and in which said notice the electors in such territory were directed to vote upon such question in the manner provided by law, and which said notice contained all other matters and supplied by the architect.
