Presidents rule Z, section 2, and is clearly
contemplated in the civil service law
itself, paragraph ., section of the civil
service act. This has been the case since
the adoption of the first rules, in 1888.
IF persons are being appointed from
states from which 1t is not proper to
accredit them. the commission is not
to blame, for here again Congress has
the proof of citizenship and the COM
mission cannot go behind such proof.
THE general reason for waving the
apportionment rule is to secure persons
Of special fitness for special positions.
This is particularly true of male stenog-
raphers in Washington In this city
are found a great many men and women
whose knowledge and ability are OF spe-
cial value to the government in certain po-
sitions. They are people who have served
the government frequently in the past
under temporary appointments, which
were quite numerous. and made by the
department heads according to their dis
cretion until President Roosevelt modi-
fed the rule so as to require them to
be made upon certification from the COM
mission.
District Of Columbia's Quota.
For instance, in the District alone
since the law has been in effect there
have been 963 appointments in all. The
District Is only entitled to twenty-eight
under the apportionment rule, but, all
things considered, 1 think the number
1t has is quite small when all the con-
ditions are taken into consideration, for
appointees from the District are, as q
rule. very well qualified, indeed, for the
services to which they are appointed.
The same is true too. OF persons from
Maryland, Virginia, New York, Penn
sylvania, Massachusetts and nearby
states. They are people who have been
tried and found all right, but even they
have not been certified by the commits
sion until after the departments them
selves have first proved to the satisfac-
tion of the commission that their ap-
pointments were for the best interests
Of the service.
When certifcations are called for by
reQuisition from the departments the COM
mission takes up the states in their order
in its search for eligibles, the one having
the fewest number of appointments under
its quota being taken first and the others
in like order until the requisite number
Of eligibles is found There Is never any
portionment rule Is waived for the reasons
already stated. No one is ever csruued
by the commission for appointment until
after he has first passed the required ex-
animation
Commissioner McIIhenny felt that the
civil service commission was blamed for
many things unjustly, and he courteously
devoted great deal of his time to The
Star reporter in obtaining and explaining
various data relating to appointments in
the government service.
