John J. Jackson, from which we clip

"The civil service law never con-
templated that the President or the
commission, or both. could make any
rule or regulation which could have
any force and effect of law. True, the
President may make rules and regu-
lations administrative in their nature,
which would govern the policy of his
adj inistration, and he could enforce
the same by the removal of any per-
son from office who refused to abide
thereby, but they could not have the
force and effect of law, nor would the
courts enforce them. Such rules and
regulations are purely administrative
and may be altered, amended or ap-
proved by the President at any time,
or by his successor in office.
