REVENUE RULING.
Collectors Agnew and Brady are flooded
with applications for the positions OF
deputy. collector. gauger. and storekeeper
in their respective districts. understood
TO be made vacant by the recent order
OF the Presidents. There will be grieV
Gus disappoint ment among Republican
applicants for these positions. Colonel
i3lddN. SHtuklUE OF 'Nt erect VI the re-
cent civil order of the Presidents, In re-
lation TO the internal-revenIe service, said
that 1.-The principle for which he had so
long contended-namely. the right OF col
lectOrs TO appoint their dcputieS-Was con-
coded. As a matter OF fac,, however.
there was little or no present advantage
resulting from the order. No appoint
ment Of deputy collector can DO made un-
less the applicant successfully passes an
examination conducted by the Civil-Ser-
vice Commission. under regulations pre-
scribed by the Secretary Of the Treasury.
Storekeepers and gaugers whose Offices
pay 500 and over per annum are still i'm the
classified service and appointments can
only be made from the regular list OF
eligibes furnished by the Ciyil-Service
Commission. As TO the position OF store
keeper and gauger paying less than 500
per annum. an applicant can only be APP
pointed after he has passed examination
by the CiYil-SerYice Commission. under
regulations prescribed by the Secretary
OF the Treasury. These regulations are
in course OF preparation az the Treasury
Department and will be issued In a few
days"
NO SWEEP OF DEMOCRATS.
Colonel Brady Is a high authority. who
Is frequently appealed 10 by the Commits
sioner himself. and collectors I'm all parts
of the country have been referred 10 him
by tho revenue authorities here. His in
depreciation OF the Presidents order has
the endorsement of the department and
IL is apparent that there will be no sweep
OF the Democrats In Office, and that APP
pointments in future must come from the
eligible list.
