yoDd question.
II the present transfer tax appraisers
are not doing satisfactory work the
Controller can remove them out Of hand.
and he has at call an admirable list
from which to choose their successors.
If they are doing satisfactory work
they should not be displaced. even if
they were exempt, as the law forbid
ding removals for political reasons an
plies TO exempt as well as TO competi-
tive positions. as was again decided in
the Supreme Court here on Tuesday.
To undo the extension of the compet-
tive system to these positions and make
them again political patronage would be
utterly ipexcusable. 1t would. more
over, be a fat violation Of Governor
Dix's campaign pledges.
While candidate the Governor said:
Il am in complete sympathy with the
policy Of maintaining the Civil Service
'as now constituted and of promoting a
reasonable extension thereof" and in
reply 10 the question, Are you in favor
If retaining In their present positions

eidedly So" Also, when. asked If he
would, as had been stated, exempt
from the Civil Service positions now
under its protection he replied: 40
"such statement has been made with
my consent or knowledge" and prom,
ised an administration which would be
in complete sympathy with the letter
"and spirit and purpose of the Civil
"Scryice laws and of the merit system"
The request Of Controller Sohmer is
entirely antagonistic TO the spirit and

centres altered throughout the coun-
try. The pension districts, as arranged
many years ago, are now uneven in size
and the work done in them varies
greatly. The pensioners on the roll of
the agency at Augusta, Me-, pumber
about sixteen thousand, and those on
the roll of the agency at Concord, \. H,
about fifteen thousand But the Colun-
bus (Obio) agency has TO lock after
$4,000 and the Topeka (kan) agency
after 10000 The cost Of paying each
cord and rs cents at Augusta to s. nj
Columbus and 40 at Topeka. II Is OBJ
vious thar the smaller agencies are
maintained at high cost, and that con-
solidation would result in greater eff
cheney and economy. But the Senator's
from the states where small agencies
are operated are opposed 10 consoida-
ton because such procedure would
cause only 2 single office 80 grow where
eighteen Offices grew before, and that IS
a reductio ad obsuTdum in the philosophy
OF many members OF the upper branch
of Congress.
II is intimated that if the Senate
again forces the House of Representa-
tiyes to provide for the eighteen exist
inc agencies President Taft will end the
comedy by rearrareing the pension dis
ticts and greatly reducing their num-
her. He has the power to do that under
the law BY which the agency system
was established. II would be better to
have one central disbursing Office ar
Washington. But If the Senate will not
agree TO that, it would be an improve
meDt 10 cut down the agencies from
eighteen TO four or five, thus removing
the chief obstacle to eventual consolida.
