Getting A job For Jones
Is A Congressman's Task
r of the major Duties of a Secretary in
Washington Is to Place Folk

Member.'-: oi the house and senate in this session complain they
are expected to transplant practically their entire district* to
Washington.
fi I j.
This is the third of five stories
on secretaries to congressmen
the persons who hear the brunt of
the mail that now pours in on rep
resentatives and senators.
By RII.LA SCHROEDER
Washington, May 27—Job hunting is
one of the major duties of the con
gressional secretary.
In the old days it wasn’t so bad.
Bill Jones from the district thought
a year or two in Washington would
be good for his son or daughter. He
uating classes, President W. P. Few
delivering the baccalaureate address,
on Sunday morning.
There will ho a number of addi
tional events carried out as a part of
the busy program. Os considerable in
terest will be the first opportunity of
commencement visitors to see the re
cently placed finely carved figures of
Washington Duke and his sons, James
B. Duke and Benjamin N. Duke,
which rest on elaborately chisled
sarcophagi in the Memorial chapel of
the University chapel.
Commencement this year in a sense
will serve for the dedication of the
entire university plant, u dedication
which was deferred on account of the
building program being completed at
the depth of the depression. Accord
ing to Henry R. Dwire, Duke director
of public relations and alumni affairs,
a record attendance is expected at thei
finals this year.
wrote his congressman and tlie mat
ter virtually was settled.
But today is a different story.
This session members of both the
houses and the senate complain they
are expected to transplant nearly their
entire districts to Washington. They
must find jobs not only for Bill Jones’
progeny but his entire family and its
connections. Then, very probably,
Ihey must find a job for old Bill him
self, for he is finding farming rough
going or the insurance business not
what it used to be.
Will Defeat Some
The question of jobs promises auto
matically to retire a number of the
new members —especially those who
campaigned on the promise “TTI get
you a job in Washington.” And not a
few of them did just that.
Os course, there are capable jobget
lers, such as Senator Boh Reynolds of
North Carolina. Bob promised his
hackers a job and Washington depart
ment and bureau chiefs complain
North Carolina, since the election of
Senator Reynolds, has filled more
than twice its quota of jobs. Tn other
words. Senator Boh kept his promise
New York state, too, has exceeded
its allotment with Representative Sol
Bloom in charge of his delegation’s
job pool.
But not all senators and a very few
congressmen have the situation so well
in hand. The lament “J can’t find a
job for Bill Jones” is heard from one
end of the senate and house office
building to another. Job hunting has
become a science and it takes foot
work and brains to cope with it.
How It Works
The job seeker applied to his duly
elected representative for a post —say
with the PWA.
Many of the congressmen insist that
everyone in search' of a job first get
the indorsement of his district or state
leaders at home. Such indorsement
says that Mr. So-and-so votes right
and so has his family for generations.
Ts he has the proper credentials,
his case is turned over to the mem
ber of the congressman’s office staff
who has been given the task of find
ing jobs for constituents. *
Sometimes a not to Emil TTur.ia, pat
ronage boss of the Democratic Na
tional committee, will satisfy. But
say the job seeker is insistent that he
sees a job in the PWA (hat he desires
to fill.
A not to E. K. Burlew, in charge of
personnel of the PWA, may turn the
trick but like as not it von’t. Burley
j has grown a bit weary of letters from
| congressmen. Ts he had every job
available in the U. S. government at
his command he couldn’t meet all the
demands. A telephone call may in
spire him to extra efforts. Or a per
sonal visit from the secretary or con
gressman. And then, of course, it de
pends somewhat upon whether or not
the job actually exists.
Only One of Many
Burlew (who won’t thank us for
this) is only one of several dozen per
sonnel directors. But space forbids
the listing of every name.
Curiously enough a congressman
doesn’t always make a friend of Bill
Jones when he gets him a job. Or one
for his offspring. Many of the mem
bers recall grimly a comment made
by Boise Penrose when he was the
subject of a bitter personal attack
by an old friend. He told his secretary:
“Get out the files and see when I
got him a job.”
Lawyers to Advise
Way Around Tax

tax section of the revenue act. Tt was
not stated definitely, but it was in
timated, that the principal thing these
lawyers have been employed to do is
to figure out away by which the gas
oline companies can avoid paying this
tax, either by voiding or changing
their contracts with individual station
operators, or by any! other means.
It was expected when this filling
station tax section was passed, how
ever, that the larger gasoline com
panies that operate a large number of
stations under their trade name,
would immediately try to evade the.
new law by any legal means that
could be devised. As a result, an- at
tempt was made to make the new
chain filling station tax section as
HENDERSON, (N. C.) DAILY DISPATCH, MONDAY, MAY 27, 1685
nearly air-tight "as possible and to
make it mandatory for this tax to be
paid by the parent companies rather
than by the individual station mana
gers. The law specifically says that
the tax must be paid by the com
panies whose trade names are used at
the stations, rather than by the in
dividual operators.
The lobbyists for the gasoline com.
panies, who stayed here, for weeks
while the new revenue act was under
consideration, publicly stated that if
this law was passed they would re
lease most of their stations from any
control or contracts they may have
had with them in the past, so that
each station would be individually op
erated. They also said that if they
could not arrange their contracts so
that each individual station manager
would have ot pay the tax, they would
then increase gasoline prices enough
so that the public would nave to pay
the increased tax. In fact, their prin
cipal talking point against the chain
filling station tax was that it would
merely increase gasoline prices that
much more. It now waits to be seen
just what course, the gasoline com
panies will pursue to either evade the
tax or to pass it on to the public.

said. It is estimated by Federal and

response to a. telephone call, day or
night. I was at the home of a friend
of mine when he delivered a case of
bonded liquor. The prices are just as
low if not lower than in Virginia or
South Carolina, since these Georgia
liquor dealers do not have to pay any
State, county or city taxes and vir
tually no effort is made by local of
ficers to enforce the State prohibition
law.
In. ract, it was ihe bootleggers and
wholesale liquor dealers who prevent
ed the repeal of the State prohibition
law in Georgia by supplying the funds
for the campaign conducted by the
drys,” King said. “For those who are
now in control of the liquor business
in Georgia know they can sell liquor
more cheaply and make a larger pro.
fit under the present prohibition law,
than they could under a state liquor
control plan, since they now do not
have to pay any state tax or any state
license fees. They also know that as
long as they sell government bonded
liquor the Federal alcohol tax agents
will not bother them and that they
need have no fear of town or county
officers.
“I stood on the street the other day/
with the prosecuting attorney for a
district in western Georgia and asked
him if he did not know we were stand
ing within sight of at least twelve
speakeasys or open saloons, as well as
near the main office of one of the
large liquor dealers there who had an
extensive delivery service. He said he
knew this as well as I did, but that
it was useless to make any arrests
since it was impossible to get a jury
to convict any one arrested for viola
tion of the State prohibition law. This
same attitude prevails among the law
enforomeent officers in every section
of the State.”
A large portion of the funds spent
by the drys in their campaign for the
retention of the prohibition law in
Georgia came from wholesale liquor
dealers and distributors in Jackson
ville, Florida, whose biggest custom
ers are Georgia, bootleggers, King said.
He said that he had positive know
ledge of a group of Jacksonville li
quor wholesalers who made up a pot
of $5,000 and presented a Methodist
bishop with a certified check for this
amount for him to use in the dry
campaign. This bishop knew that this
$5,000 had been contributed by these
wholesale liquor distributors in Jack
sonville, but accepted the money just
thq same, King said.
“The real facts in the Georgia situa
tion are that the bootleggers and li
quor dealers joined forces with the
churches and the drys in order to
keep the State liquor law in effect,
so they would not have to pay any
State, county or city licenses or be
subject to any local control,” King
said. “As a result, the State, counties
or towns are getting no revenue from
the sale of liquor and the bootleggers
are making a much larger profit than
would be made by legitimate liquor
dealers if its sale were legally per
