APPEAL TO GOVERNOR.
Ci5H Service Reformers Want Ben
der Case ReOpened.

The Civil Service Reform Association has sent
a letter to Governor Higgins on the dismissal OF
the charges of collecting campaign assessments
made against H. H. Bender, Fiscal Supervisor Of
State Charities and Mr.. Prescott, his assistant.
The letter asks:
If Mr Bender was not guilty of violations OF
the law. technical or otherwise. then for what is
he reprimanded? If he has nothing to fear from
examination into his conduct, why has he been
to the expense and trouble of carrying the case
TO the Court of Appeals in an attempt TO estab-
lsh that the State Civil Service Commission had
right to conduct the investigation. and why
have he and his secretary persistently failed to
appear before the commission TO answer the
charges?
The Civil Service Reform Association wants
the Governor to reconsider his action owing TO
certain moral aspects of the case, well as the
unfortunate results that must follow from this
official vindication Of Mr.. Bender in the face Of
the commissions report"
The Governor is asked II the contributions to
Mr. Bender were voluntary when they were
made by Democrats and women as well as Re-
publican employees Of his office who were depen-
dent on him for promotion or dismissal. The
letter says this instance was not a spasmodic
attempt at collection. hut took place every year

Would Mr.. Prescott. who not competi-
tive employe but subject 10 appointment and

make himself liable 70 criminal prosecution by
soliciting funds would employees have given
his solicitation had he not been acting and
had he not been known to be acting for his su-
perior?
The association thinks the Governors act will
be construed by employees as a notice that they
are expected 10 contribute. though not through
a public official. The letter continues
Mr.. Bender in receiving money for the use OF
the state committee. certainly actedsas an agent
but II seems to us clear that Section "a OF the
law prohibits and makes 1t a crime for a public
officer or empoye 10 act agent of a politi-
cal committee for the solcita ton or for the re-

ployes' VINO viii not look 10 it for protection but
will make their peace and seek advancement
