U. S. Treasury Controversy
"i Looms Up Again With Peti-
:! tion to President to Uphold
) Dover Against Blair G. 0.
; P. Patronage at Stake.
i WASHINGTON', , June 16. The
Blair-Dover controversy In the treas
ury threatened to break out afresh
today when It became known that a
petition had been circulated among
republican members of congress ask
ing President Hurdlng to uphold the
policies of .Mr. Dover,
"ithe petition, it was learned, had re
ceived the signatures of about 150
' members, and plans were being made
tp present It to the president within
the next 48 hours.
Mr. Dover is assistant secretary of
I he treasury, appointed by l'resldeut
1 1 ;, l it in K to reorganize the personnel
of the department, after the chief ex
ecutive learned, according to the pe
tition circulated today, "that he was
not receiving the party support to
which he was entitled" front that
branch of the government.
Mr. Blair, as commissioner of In
ternal revenue, directing a bureau
within the treasury department, is
understood to have opposed some at
tempts of Secrctury Dover to place
new men in the bureau.
Both are republicans.
130 Democrats 'Named.
Circulated with today's petition
was a document giving the names of
almost 150 office holders in the de
partment who were declared to be
democrats occupying key positions.
Many of these republican house
members, circulating the petition,
were disloyal to the administration
and through their lack of coopera
tion were obstructing the work of the
government. "
The list included officials in the of
fice of Secretary of the Treasury Mel
lon, the office of Commissioner Blair
and the different units of the revenue
bureau bb well as Under-Secretary
Gilbert, who was described as an "ac
tive democratic politician," who took
"the stump for Governor Cox in the
campaign of 1920."
The charges were declared by Sec
retary Mellon in a formal statement
to be "so false and for the most part
ho ridii ul'iiis" as ordinarily not to
require notice.
Mi'llon tiivcw Views
Mr. Mellon branded the memorial
to the president, "the product of a few
selfishly ambitious employes and
some discredited former employes."
Mr. Mellon said the administration
of the treasury was in tbe hands of
republicans and was governed by re
publican policies and that such demo
crats had been retained from the
Wilson administration wer kept be
cause of their qualifications.
He added that he had no evidence
that the democrats retained had been
guilty OC. partisan activity.
Mr. Mellon's statement was made
public after the regular meeting of
the cabinet and after a conference of
Mr. Mellon with Under Secretary Gil
bert and Interna; Jteyenue Commis
sioner Blair. ;
The matter was brought up defi
nitely in the senate today by Senator
Caraway, democrat, - Arkansas, who
said events promised the retirement
of Secretary Mollon.
"T,he president has surrendered,"
suld Senator Caraway. "Mr. Mellon
may not be Informed yet, but Dover
Is going to drlvo him out, together
with every other efficient man that
cannot show he has contributed to
the republican campaign fund. Mr.
Dover went into the treasury not be
cause of his efficiency, but to spy
out good jobs and have republicans
in them."
Senator Caraway said Mr. Dover
had been trained "under Mark Han
nil'" anil referring to the recent bu
reau of enKravin dismlHsuls, declar
ed the president had not satisfied the
hungry job hunters by removing men
and women from the bureau of en
graving under a cloud."
HIGH JINK8 TONIGHT
(Continued from page one)
for. a year or so. However, he said,
that he was positive that water would
be abundant despite the belief of a
number of skeptics who are in fear of
a lack of sufficient water. He stated
that everyone who had closely inves
tigated the system was of the same
opinion.
Engineer Chadwlck, of the Rogue
River Valley Canal company, gave a
short speech outlining the system and
explaining the remarkable feature of
bringing the water from the east to
the west side of the Cascade range
without a tunnel. He stated that he
expected the connecting canal be
tween Four Mile and Fish Lakes to
be completed by next summer.
This canal will insure the excess
water necessary during the growing
season. This feature of the system
makes it superior to the usual system
which seldom has a reserve Biipply
because of the excessive cots of pro
viding one.
Prof. W. L. Powers of 6. A. C, gave
a short talk on the benefits which
should be realized from the system.
lie slated that water was a revolu
tionizing agent in arid sections of the
country and that although the Rogue
Hlver valley was not arid, that it
would make a great and beneficial
change here.
The D. O. K. K. band played sev
eral pleasing selections. Out of town
visitors were heard to remark on the
excellence of the band.
