TAFT LAYS DOWN.
A SERVICE RULE
Rural Delivery Carriers Must
Keep Clean" =

President Taft has issued an Execu-
tive order designed to remove post
office employees outside the sphere of
political influence. In nearly all
branches Of the government service to
which the Civil Service Commission
rules apply, the Civil Service Commis-
sion is required 10 certify three eligible
candidates for any position, from which
the department or bureau head selects
one. In the case of the rural free de-
livery carriers, however the Civil Serv-
ice Commission adopted a rule provid-
Ing that only one name should be certi-
fed 10 the appointing officer.
The Executive order provides that in
all rural free delivery appointments
three eligibles shall be certified.
The Presidents order also lays down
the strict rule that while rural free de-
livery carriers shall have the right to
express political opinions, they shall
not engage in the management of any
campaign. or otherwise participate ac-
lively in them. In the event OF a viola
tiOn 6f this rule, a rural carrier may be
removed from office or disciplined by the
Civil Service Commission.
