AShING FOR MORE CLERKS.
"a AoJECT FOR MAKING THE CIVIL. SER
VICE COMMISSION MORE INDEPENDENT.


washington Jan. tspeciaD.-rhe Civil Service
Oiiinisslon is asking for clerks in order that
~ may catch up its work and thereby exuedite
lhe Governments business. With this end in view
as amendment will be attached to one of the ap-
preparation bills in the Senate providing for the
employment by the Civil Service Commission Of
eleven more clerk to add to the examining force
which at present consists OF forty men, The au-
thorization OF these additional clerks will fix the
hnlt OF the number OF examiners at fifty-one. The
real purpose of the movement, however is of more
far-reaching Importance than the mere empoyment
or additional expert clerical help or fixing the
hnllt TO the number Of examiners ffty-one. The
ultimate object is invest Civil Service Com
mission with character so independent and fso-
lated that its functions be interfered with
from political sources or it's operations hampered
py incompetencv in ITS clerical staff. When 1t is
known that there before the Commission
sixteen thousand examination papers unacted upon
Its needs be understood and when II is further
known that there are now four hundred vacancies
In various departments of the Government waiting
to be filled from the sixteen thousand applications
represented by that number OF unexamined papers
before the Civil Service Commission still better
understanding of the situation be obtained.
1t is explained that the congested condition In
the Commission is due to two causes. One is an
insufficient number of examining clerks The
other and what is said the chief cause is the
ineficiency of the present system of detailing
clerical help TO the Commission The clerk. are
not selected by the Commission but are detailed
Naturally. this has resulted in encumbering the
clerical force OF the Commission with great deal
OF incompetency. and, to this, II is said is due
the fact that the Commission has got so far behind
with its work. while four hundred Civil Service
positions in the Government service are waiting
20 De hlled from the eligible list A high order of
aoiIty is required of persons assigned to the ex-
