THE OPEN SEASON
Upwards of fifty thousand ap
pointments to public offices carrying
salaries aggregating more than one
hundred million dollars a year are
to be made by President Harding.
Some of these have already been
made, many other will be announc
ed during the next few months,
while still others will be made as
the terms of present Democratic
office-holders expire.
The first fruits from the shaking
of the official “plum” tree were (
cabinet officers whose salaries are:
$12,000 a year each. Others to time J
include nearly a dozen amba sadors \
whose salaries are $17,000 each, ■
|
many ministers at $10,000 each, as- i
sistant secretaries, federal judges,
attorneys and marshals,.* custom col-!
lectors, members of various Govern-!
ment boards and commissions and
postmasters by the thousands.
In contrast to the huge patronage
roll of the President are the ap
pointive perquisites of Vice Presi
dent Coolidge, whose immediate ap
pointment comprise only his secre
tary, clerk, page boy and a private
telegraph operator. Their salaries
total $7,700 a year. The Vice Presi
dent himself receives $12,000.
As is the usual custom, ambassa
dors and ministers now serving are
expected to pre ent their resigna
tions to President Harding without
delay so he may have a free hand
in creating his own diplomatic corps.
There are 44 ambassadors and min- j
isters but. some of these who have'
risen from the ranks in the diplo-.
matic service may be retained and
practically all of those now in serv- j
ice will continue in office until their'
successors are named and qualify. j
Among appointments in immed- j
iate or early prospect, some of which
have already been made, are seven
members of the Shipping Board, at
$12,000 each; two members of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, at
$12,000 each; five members of the
Federal Reserve Board, at $12,000
each; three member of the Tariff
commission at $7,500 each; two
members of the Federal Trade Com
mission at $10,000 each; some of
the nine members of the Railroad j
Labor Board at $10,000 each, and:
four members of the. Federal Farm!
Loan Board, at $10,000 each.
Four of the nine members of the i
. i
Supreme Court also may be appoint
ed by President Harding. Chief
Justice White and Associate Justice
McKenna, Holmes and Day now are
eligible, by both age and length of
service, to voluntary retirement. The
salary of the chief justice is $15,000
and that of associate justices $14,
500.
Postmaster comprise the bulk of
Presidential patronage. There are
nearly 50,000 postmasterships re
maining in the Presidential class,
although President Wilson placed a
great many in the civil service. All
have four-year terms and it is inti
mated that President Harding will
appoint something like 15,000 during
the next year, as the Republican
majority in the. senate refused con
firmation to several thousand post
masters as well as other officials, in
eluding member of the Shipping
Board, during the last session of
Congress.
Although not classed technically
as patronage, the President has the j
selection of officials for many choice j
places in the army and navy, thru'
recommendations for promotion. In
this list are chiefs of war depart
ment bureaus, .including the chief of
staff, and eleven major and twenty
two brigadier generals. Selections of
general officers made by President
j Wilson were held up in the senate
I this year in the Republican block
I ade of Mr. Wilson’s nominations,
j and these appointments will now be
| made by President Harding.
j
In various executive branches of
| the Government, the department of
justice leads in patronage, with a
roll of about $130,000, including a
solicitor general at $10,000, one as
sistant to the attorney general at
j $9,000, seven other assistants at
! $7,500 and solicitors for the other
departments.
In the treasury department, the
; principal plums are treasurer, at
! $8,000; the commissioner of internal
revenue at $10,000; the prohibition
enforcement commissioner at $7,500;
the comptroller of the treasury at
i $0,000; the comptroller of currency
at $5,000; the director of the mint
at $5,000 and several departmental
auditors at $4,000.
Four assistants to the postmaster
j general are the best jobs in the
Postoffice department subject to po
j litical change.
In the interior department, an
.assistant secretary and commission
er of lands, patents, pensions and
i education at $5,000 each, a commis
i sioner of Indian affairs at $3,500
I
and directors of mines and Geologi
' cal survey at $6,000 each are the j
! cream, of appointments,
j In the department of labor, an *
assistant secretary at $5,000; com
missioners of labor and lighthouses
1 at $5,000 each, the director of the
| census at $6,000; the immigration
j commissioner general at $5,000; the
; commissioner of fisheries at $6,000
j and the chief of the children’s bur
j eau at $5,000 comprise the principal
patronage.
Three members of the civil serv
ice commission—one at $4,500 and
two at $4,000—and a public printer
at $6,000 are other choice Presi
dential plums. Also there are Mexi
can and Canadian commission mem
bers with big salaries.
Many positions of honor without
salaries also are to be filled by Pres
ident Harding. Among these are ap
! pointments to the commission of fine
| arts, the national advisory committee
J on aeronautics, the geographic board
the federal electric railways com
mission, the pan-American commis
sion and 'the Hague court.

WERE YOU EVER HOROSCOPED?
Ancient astrology was taught by
the Chaldeans, Egyptians and Arabs.
They fixed ithe fate of each of us
at the hour of birth, by the positions
at that time, of the stars in the
heavens. According to their arrange
ment—how close ithey are to each
other, and in what parts of the sky
—so it is supposed will the future
life of one born under them be ar
j ranged. This Celestial page of desti
i ny, of which the lettered symbols
are the seven planets, the moon,
! the sun and the constellations of the
zodiac, is called a HOROSCOPE.
Send the date of your birth, day and
year, and the locality of your birth
i place, and receive a personal chart
I and typed horoscope, bearing the
' “ups and downs” of your own life.
