A SUGGESTION FOR CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

SIR: Every one seems to be convinced that
Clv Service Reform is necessary, and various plans
have been proposed One member OF Congress proposes
An Examining Board. I fear that such Board would
be selected from politicians for political aims and pro
duce results. Another proposes oahs from officials
TO the effect that they have not paid any money for
political purposes Such law should, II enacted, be
called law to promote perjury" II IA or ought To be
well known, that every month"; CustOm-House officials
have ~ take when receiving their salary similar oath
affirming that they have only expended their salary for
their own and their families benefit while In spite OF
this oath they are before each election practically
PEELED to pay certain political demands on pain OF being
removed. There seems to me very simple remedy to
reform Civil Service Congress will only exact
law providing that every person appointed to Office by
the Government shall be liable 10 instant remova IL
this is not lawful penalty, TO heavy fine, II such
offcehoder, during his term OF Office, shall except by
casting his Vote take any active part in any election
Acting politicians by such law would, rs soon as ap,
pointed TO Office, become "dead stock" / understand
that In England oiceholder cannot even vote while
holding office. BIS

Lodge Dues.
EAST LOTHIAN, Sept. I'D Isl

EAST LOTHIAN, Sept. I'D 1870.
Dear Bro. Po1zer In looking over THE
CLARION of the 18th inst, see a communi
cation from H., on the subject of Lodge
Dues. He thinks a. dimited from b. both OF
June having paid all lodge dues on the 9th
of Dec. 1861, afiiliates with him on the 9th
of August 1870, and as they have no mem
bership fee to scare away those who wish to
join their Lodge, he thinks the Brother is
not required to pay the Annual Lodge Dues,
having affiliated so late in the season, and
complains that they have to pay dues to the
Grand Lodge for him. Our worthy Broth
er Grand Secretary thinks his understand
ing of the law is incorrect, and relieves bis
anxiety by assuring him that his dues to
the Lodge commences from the hour of at
fili2tion, thereby securing to him at least
the dues to be paid for him to the Grand
Lodge. Now as you said you had been in
viting discussion, and think that the Iiqtts, are
saving themselves TO deliver it on the floor
of the Grand Lodge, and as don't profess to
be light neither great nor small. nor do
design to make amy on the floor of the
Grand Lodge, thought | would drop you
a line, and ask you to pardon me when / say
] think, in my humble opinion that Brother
H., and Brother Grand Secretary, are both
incorrect. Anciently, such thing as an
nual Lodge Dues were unknown to thc Fra
ternity. so has dimits, only TO form new
Lodge. Anciently, every accepted candidate
was required to clOthe TIE Lodge satisfactory
to the Brethren, how much we don't know.
1t is to be presumed that his ability and all
the circumstances, were taken into consider
alton and whatever satisfied the Lodge, was
to be his part in al coming time for all con-
tingenCies hence annual Lodge Dues is a
modern regulation, ! suppose, for the con-
venience as well as the ability for each
Brother TO clctii1 the Lodge annually, on
the 9th of December with an amount be-
lieved to be sufficient to meet all contingent
cieS for the next Masonic year. Then if this
proposition be true no Brother ought to di-
NIT only for the purpose of forming a new
Lodge, or for the purpose of joining some
other Lodge for his convenience; conse-
quently, ailBatIon, fee is wrong, and every
member of every Lodge, if he either be-
came so by utilization, or being made Mas
ter Mason. on the 18th he is in duty bound
TO clothe the Lodge on the 9th of December,
with whatever amount is specified in the by
laws of the Lodge or be guilty of a INSIDE
meanor, and liable to the exercise of disci-
pine.
These are my humble views on the sub
ject of Lodge Dues. 1 give them to you for
what you may consider them worth.
