GEN. cox CIVIL HRvIcE BILL


tits believed that the bill introduce
ed in Congress few days ago by Gen.
Cox, of the Raleigh District, author
izing the creation of commission to
examine the civil service, will be fav-
orably reported by the Committee on
Civil Service Reform, and passed by
the House. 1t has the approval, it is
stated, of the President and the mem
bers of the Cabinet.
It is designed to secure information
as to possible improvements in the
civil service not now attainable in any
official way, and provide recommend
ations Tor which Congress can act.
The Redistribution of the employees
with more regard to just proportion be-
twsen their duties and their salaries
and with reference to an arrangement
by which clerks of the same class will
be interchangeable among the depart
ments, so that when one department
is short it can borrow from another, is
the principle object of Gen. Cox.
Politically the BILLS said to please
the Democrats, because it will, if pass
ed enable them to assure their constitu-
ents, of whatever political faith, that
steps have been taken to gather infor-
nation upon which they can legislate
more intelllgently than now.
