Per Cent in six Months, Ac-
cOrdinE to Commander.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The United
States Civil Service commission today made
public a statement declaring that Surveyor
General c. G. Goodale OF Colorado was sup
planted by ]. +. Vivian as a result Of an
Investigation made by hat commission.
This investigation was made upon COM
plants against the surveyor general and
some of his assistants for violation of the
civil service law by collecting political as
sessments.
The commission says the payments were
so regularly demanded that they we're
called the dog tax and were apportioned
among the clerks so hat each had to pay
one, two or three days salary per month,
as the needs Of the campaign demanded.
Employees paid these assessments irrespec-
tive Of their political beliefs and under
both democratic and republican admins
trations.
The clerks were also asked to do political
work, and some OF the women in the ONCE
were directed to go from door to door and
ask persons who were strangers II they
had registered, a work which they found
most disagreeable. In addition to the re-
tirement of Mr.. Goodale. two clerks in
the ONCE, Charles ]. Christian and job d.
Fleming, who were more active in making
the assessments, have been dismissed.
Post Exchange Promotes sObriety.

tiaI during the last six months. He says:
The post exchange is the greatest measure
for the promotion OF sobriety and discipline

CHICAGO. April A-wHh the most holly

Graeme Stewart, the republican nominee,
