Vote on Civil ssr,iee Commission.

Vote on Civil Ssrsiee Commission.
1t Is interesting to analyze the vote
cast in the house to withhold the
salaries of the civil service commits
siOners. Eighty eight representatives
out of $50 went on record as favOring
such q policy. OF these eighty eight
fifty were democrats and thirty eight
were republicans. Forty nine of the
eighty eight votes were furnished by
southern representatives. If any sec
ton of the country has especially
benefited by the application of the
merit system TO appointments, the
south is that section. Under the
merit scheme appointments are APP
pOrtiOned among the states according
TO population. Each state has GER
tain quota, which, under normal con-
ditiOns, 1t can always keep flied.
The southern states have been in the
political minority in this country for
nearly fifty years. Under ithe spOils
system southern white democrats
would virtually be barred from feder-
81 office; but under the marit system
they fill thousands of places in the
federal service.-Tribune.
OF the Florida congressman Davis
voted against the salaries, while
Lamar and Sparkman were paired
and did not vote.
