FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1907.
Secretary Gage RESPONSIBLE,


The civil service commissioners will not
give up the fight over the deputy collectors
Of internal revenue, but in few days will
present to tho Secretary of the Treasury
and the Attorney General, q statement OF
their views which will be in direct conflict
to the position assumed by Secretary Gage
regarding tho power Of removal by co..
aectors Of internal revenue, and will also
ssontrovert the opinion prepared by Assist.
INIT Attorney General Boyd, sustaining
thc Secretary. In the first place, 1t Is held
that notwithstanding the law Of 1864, d.
reeting the appointment Of deputies by
the collectors, such appointments, unless
authorised by the Secretary, are not legal.
Tho Constitution gives the power Of up
pointing subordinate officials to the courts
the President and the heads Of depart
Inents. Congress cannot take AWAY or
abridge this power and any law passed for
1t therefore follows, 1t is claimed, that
sither deputy collectors Of internal reys-
nue. are not officers of the United States,
or else they secure their authority, as such
officers directly from the Secretary Of tho
Treasury. The collector himself can giyo
thom no authority, except as tho power
may have been delegated to him by the
secretary, in whom the authority is vested.
In the letter sent by Mr.. Gage to tho
secretary OF the civil service commissioners
regarding the case Of Collector Brady, he
declares that as the appointing power is
vested absolutely in the collectors, the
terms Of all subordinates he may appoint
expire when he goes out Of Office This
the civil service commissioners are pre-.
pared to show, is an untenable proposition
no matter what the Attorney General may
think about it.
I The commissioners will mako their
statement cover every question involved
In the controversy oyer the appointment
and removal of deputy collectors. and in
the meantime they are giving no particular
attention to the case of Collector Parlctt
