question with the kepp commission
The result OF tie ensuing disc iss,on
has been the issuing OF orders by a
number OF bureau chiefs bearing on
the law of 1890. which requires the
heads OF departments TO report TO
congress each year the number Of
employees who fall below the standard
Of efficiency and their salaries.
This provision OF tho law never has
been repealed, but 1t has not been
enforced and very little OF the So
called ''dead-tlmber" has been weed

this law and there are indications
that 1t is to be enforced in something
