tho entire system OF appointing The boards was
WRONG and that ak OF them ought to be under

The Commits sIoner believed that the head OF n
BUREAU was the bcst-quaiihcd person to pass on
tho efficiency OF a clerk, and that he ought not to
DO hanpercd IN removing Il clerk for inofnciency.
If permitted to do So he could remove AT least one
hundred clerks from his Office without affecting
the efficiency Of the force lie thought IT would be
desirable 10 have definite tenure Of office. not
eXccadng ten years that every year about 10 per
cent Of blood could be infused into the force
This would do away with the abuses resulting from
clerks remaining In ONCE too long The Com
missioner thought that some reform would have
TO be enacted. the country would have the in
fiction Of civil pension list. He believed 1t was
q mistake to include In the classified service the

ions and all others receiving salaries exceeding
