another interview with the President
Yesterday afternoon i'm reference to plac-
ing the employees of the Government
Printing once in the classified service.
1t has been known for some time that the
President favors the plan. and IT is very
probable that within a short time every
employe of the office. except the COM
pOsitors ana other skilled craftsmen, Will
be under the protection OF the commits
sion. The growth of this civil Service
Commission has been something re-
markahlc and with few more extern
sions of its powers. II Will be raised to
The dignity of a separate governmental
department, and its head will be awarded
a seat among the official advisers OF the
President. A little over twelve years
ago the fun working force. of this COM
mission consisted of the three commits
siOners and one secretary whose ser
vices cost the government about $1,000
per annum. To-day the names of sixty
two employees are carried upol its rolls,
entailing cost of nearly 100000 year.
