PERQUIsITES ARE DOOMED.
All Collectors in Customs Service to
Be on Salary Basis.

Provision made In the regulations for
the customs service under the new or
ganization plan for the sale Of blanks
used in the transaction of customs bust
ness at I cent each, as prepared by the
government, or for the acceptance of
blanks prepared by importers. but con-
forming to the regular blanks, means the
doing away with one of the great per-
qusltes of customs officers The new
reorganization plan puts every collector
and deputy collector on a salary basis,
modifying the fee and perquiste system
largely in vogue.
, Along the Canadian border the sale of
blanks At 10 cents piece was one of the
perquisites Of the collector. Frequently,
and especially along the Maine frontier.
and also to a large extent in the far
west along the International line, the
collectors received from this source three
times the amount of their salary. One
port Is known to have collected $4,000 a
year from this source. The collectors
were not required to make report on
these perquisites and there are no figures
available in the Treasury Department
The collectors. vino made a good thing
out of it. were reluctant to make public
the extent of their profits.
This system prevailed generally, years
ago. in the customs service Chester a..
Arthur, the last collector of the port Of
New York to receive such perquisites. re-
ceived an average Of 100000 year from
this source.

thought pathetically. And mentally she

genius she had agreed to conduct Mamie
on tour of inspection through the house.
Mamie had felt this last episode coming

More than once she had woke up in

she must go home. If she waited to see

President Wilson'S sudden and vigor-

Many who assumed that the presi-

though he called none by name and
designated none personally even by

and prepared interviews to justify
their position. ...s
Men prominent for many years in
official life, including former United

either the sugar or wool interests in
an organized effort against the Under
