OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Of Men Over
Political Assess
sion Of the Classified Service. Etc.
WASHINGTON. Dec. THE ninth an.
nual report Of the United States civil
service commission was made public
yesterday. II gives statistics on n
examinations held during the past MS
cal year. The report shows that the
appointment and promotion OF men
over women in competitive
tions was In the ratio Of four to twelve.
On the subject Of political assess
ments the report says: 1.-The commits
sion deems the stand it has taken in
reference to political assessments
TO be Of special Importance
and perhaps the most note
worthy feature Of it's work since
last report. During the presidential
campaign it made use Of every means
In it's power 70 protect government EN-
pleyes frem being assessed for political
purposes and 10 procure the punish
ment Of those seeking ~ assess them IN
violation Of law. In tho opinion OF the
commission this practice will not DC
practically broker up until II is made 9
criminal ofense for anyone whatso
ever TO solicit political contribution
from a government employee in any
place whatsoever. Such employees woult
then be left at liberty to contribute
any cared to, but they would not b
asked to do SO.
The commission recommends tina
the classified service be extended Z
clerks and writer's in navy yards. 4
officials OF the district of Columbia; Z
the internal revenue service. To custom
houses with twenty-five employees, AM
TO free delivery post Offices.
The commission also urges h adoT
ton Of n new classification in the Gus
toms and postal services. aud a modifi
cation Of the rules SO that the numbc
Of excepted places and of places subjec
to non competitive examination u
greatly reduced in all branches OF til
service.
The report is signed by Commission
crs Lyman and Roosevelt. Commi'
sioner Johnston also approves the r.
port. but does not concur with ths
part which refers TO the extension
the civil service. to ''clcrks and write
in navy yards; to officials Of the distri'
of Columbia: To internal revenue ser
ice: TO custom houses with ~twenty-i,

wages from rising here during war
times: but this feature has been neg

foreigners to work in the protected IN

Mr.. Harrah's primary reason for vot-

dishonest and corrupt use in tsss OF the

..auufacturer contributed to Wanna
m,ker' fund under a pledge that II

Mckinley tariff under the false pre-
tense" OF protecting American work

LAS a matter of fact" he writes. 1.-THE
nc, was the result of "A deliberate con-
,,iracv on the part Of a small number
81 manufacturers to enrich themselves
nj the expense of the nation, and to get
n grip on the workingman from which
ne cannot free himself"
R%ecounting the effects OF the bill in
The formation of trusts, the shutting
down Of mills and the reduction OF
wages, this expert manufacturer says:
LAS usual, the men who could least
afford il had to bear the brunt OF the
cut. In no instance was there any re-
duc,ion made in the percentages OF the
partners in a firm or in the salaries OF

And again, speaking Of temporary
suspensions made to reduce production,
he says:
The men who were in the greatest
Mood Of work to make a living and who
could least pear enforced idlcness were
The very ones who were the longest un
employed"
The act, he declares, "ruthlcssly
places at the mercy of the employer
the mechanic and the laborer in ncet
of work." and that was one OF the pur
poses of its passage.

The Council Acts as a Board of Equal
ization Yesterday.
After the adjournment of the regular
session, the city council sat yesterday
afternoon as board of equalization for
the purpose of hearing the petition of
the Sunset Telephone company for re-
duction of assessment from $4,000 to
$11 900. In their petition the corpora
tion sets forth the fact that it is very
poor and not paying many dividends |;
that during 1891 only five dividends
were paid and that the present income
of the company is not equal TO its ex-
penses.
Percy T. Morgan. auditor of the COM
pany, made sworn statement to the
effect that during last year the receipts
were $67 1920. 15, and expenditures $780,
478.20; that during the present year
there will be no profits, but a deficit,
owing to change of the present system
of overhead wire to underground cables.
The total assessment of all the proper
ties of the telephone company was
$3.50, $50.
Senator r. B. Carpenter requested
that the auditor of the company be
sworn and make a statement to the
council under oath. He did 90. He

At the afternoon session of the council
the protest OF Walter S. Saunders against
the opening of Third street east was
heard. A statement of the case was
made on behalf Of Mr.. Saunders, who
objected to being assessed for improve
ments to 100 teet of property which he
did not own. The property in question
belonged to M. Saunders, and all that
was requested was that the assessment
already made by the commissioners be
divided or segregated.
Councilman Rees moved that the pc
tition be referred back to the commits

proper parties were assessed.
