JOBS
TO Be PR0BED
Senator'S and Representatives
Want to Have Their Say
in Appointments
Stated That q Thorough In
veshgatiOn Is To Be Start
ed After Holidays

Washington, D. c., Dec. 23.-An in
vesiigation into the conduct of the
library Of congress, with particular
reference to the appointment of en-
ployes in the library, may be under
taken by the senate Immediately at
ter the Christmas holidays.
Many members of the senate and
house are said to be dissatisfied with
the manner in which appointments
are made in the Library of Congress.
The employees Of the library are not
under the civil service. The appoint
ments are all made by the librarian,
Herbert Putnam.
Complaint of Senator'S.
Some senators complain that Mr..
Putnam does not give due c%onsidera-
ton to their requests, and claim that
there should be some ,app0rtionment
Of the 513 places under the librarian
among the states. At present the en-
ployes are appointed by the librarian
Of congress under the act Of 1897,
which provided that they shall be ap-
pointed ''solely with reference TO their
fitness for their particular duties"
The librarian himself is appointed
by the president, as is also the super.
%intendent of the library building and
grounds, "by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate"
At present it is said when a senator
makes a request OF the librarian for
co%nside4 ation for an applicant for
a position in the library he receives
from the librarian in reply a printed
form, merely stating that the senator's
request has been received and will
be given consideration. That is the
end of the transaction, according to
the senators. They say that in only
rare instances has any appointment,
as suggested by them, been made.
Plan 70 Take Control.
A suggestion was made that when
the legislative, executive and judi
cial appropriation bill comes up for
consideration this session a provision
shall be placed in the bill providing
that all appointments, promoting and
demotions. etc., in the Library of
Congress shall be made only after be-
ing referred to the Joint committee
on library. 1t is considered likely that
the latter course will be adopted whe-
Their a formal investigation is made
of the library or not.
Mr.. Putnam said that he had not
heard of a proposed congressional in.
vestigation of his Office, nor was he
aware of complaint by members Of the
house or senate. He did not care to
make a public statement, he said, in
the face of a proposed inquiry, but he
said all appointments to the Library
Of Congress are made in accordance
with existing law.
1.-THE law is specific" Mr.. Putnam
said. "and states that all appointments
are to be made solely on efficiency and
competency for the work to be. done
We pursue that system

GOVERNOR HAS
MADE PROTEST

Governor L. B. Hanna has sent the
following letter, which is selfsexpIan-
State Of North Dakota, Office Of the
Governor, Bismarck, Dec. lS.-Hon.
David F. Houston, Secretary''o Agri-
culture. Washington, d. C.
Ny Dear Mr.. Secretary: On be-.
half of the people of the State of
North Dakota, I wish to protest
against raising the embargo on pota-
toes coming into the United States
from foreign countries. North Dako.
ia is a large producer of seed pota-
toes and our seed potatoes, on &C
count of being free from disease and
possessing high terminating power,
are in demand. If potatoes are al
lowed to come into the United States
from abroad it will be found that a
large majority of them are tainted
with disease. and this disease cannot
be prevented from spreading over the
United States.
l served four years in congress in
the Sixty-irst and Sixty.second con-
crosses and during that time was a
member of the committee on. agricul-
ture, and while a member of that
committee ! had the opportunity to
get some information as to the very
large amount of plant disease which
had been allowed to come into the
United States from foreign countries,
and we are appropriating now i'm.
mense sums Of money to try and
stamp out the different plant life dis
eases which never should have been
allowed to come within our borders.
n hope that you will take official &C,
ton and keep potatoes from Europe
out of the United States, and by do
ing this you will render a great serv-
ice to the agricultural interests and
to the people of the United States in
general.
Sincerely,
=. !. -. Z. 3. HANNA,
Governor.
