DECLARE It A BLOW
At THE MERIT SYSTEM
Advocates Predict Opening of
Doors as Result Of Tariff
Bill Provision.

That a direct blow il aimed at the
civil service system In the compromise
agreement OF the tariff conferees re-
lating to the employment of persons
to assist in collecting the income tax
was asserted at the Capitol today.
The particular branch of the civil
service system affected. 1t is said. is
the internal revenue force, engaged in
Internal revenue work all over the
country. The conferees have inserted
the following phrase which will do the
deadly work. 1t Is said:
Basis Of the Charge.
"That the force authorised to carry
out the provisions OF section Of this
act {the income tax section). when not
employed COLLECTING the income taxi.
shall be employed on general internal
revenue work"
It is provided that the special employees
engaged to aid in collecting the income
tax need not be selected from the eligible
list of the civil service commission. but
may be appointed under rules laid down
by the Secretary of the Treasury. This in
itself, the friends Of the civil service sys-
tenn declare, Is an attack upon the system
and a return to the "spoils system"
Claimed to Open Door.
But the action Of the conferees in say
ing that these income tax employees may
be employed to do the general work OF
the internal revenue bureau means ulti-
mately the substitution, II Is declared. of
men and women not selected under civil
service rules for those chosen under the
civil service system.
