state or territory for at least one
year previous to such examination; "
Senator McCumber asserts tiAt
this provision will preserve the letter
as we'll as the spirit of the civil ser
vice law, which provides that ap-
pointments shall be made under an
apportionment on the basis of the
population of each state. He claims
that while this is the law, it has been
evaded, and explains the present sit
uation in the following way:
Heretofore persons have been APP
pointed to positions in the govern
ment, many of them forty or fifty
years ago. These positions were later
put under the classified service.
These persons never returned to their
home states, but held those states
as their residences, constructive res
licences purely. In many instances
they have married and raised famil-
les. Their children have grown up
and have taken civil examinations in
Washington or vicinity, claiming as
their residence the states from which
their fathers originally came. and
when appointed have been entered as
residents of those states. In this way
the practice has grown up of the
father and several members of the
family holding official positions at
salaries ranging from $50 to 5000 per
month each. In some instances as
many as five members of one family
are holding positions charged to a
state in which members of the fam
lily have never resided, but of which
the father was a resident possibly
forty years ago.
"Under the system we have what
are known as official families. That
is, the children again marry and their
children claim residence in the state
from which the grandfather original
ly came. 1t is true, of course, that
they must certify that they are resi-
dents from the state from which
they are appointed, but it has been
found very easy to secure this GER
tification by merely claiming resi-
dence. Under my amendment parties
seeking any place in the classified
service will have to take the exam
nation in the states in which they
live, and before being permitted to
take examination they will have to
show that they have actually been
domiciled in the states for a period
of one year prior to such examina-
ton.
"This will effectually put q stop
to the official family proposition. It
will be the means of bringing new
life into the departments from the
states and will give residents of vari-
GUS states an opportunity to secure
appointment in the federal service
instead Of these appointments being
all made from Washington and ada.
