Patronage Burdens
In Government
| Are Not Desirable

Washington, Dec. president
Coolidge and Congress were called
upon in a report of the Council of the
National Civil Service Reform
League, submitted to the forty third
| annual convention of the League to-
| day, to eliminate the patronage bur-
dens by providing for an extension
of the merit system of appointments
throughout the entire government
service.
The enormous pressure Of office
! seekers" was said by the report to
have contributed to shortening the
lives of a half dozen presidents, in
| Guiding President Harding. No single
| measure, it was declared, could more
effectively tighten the labors of the
chief executive, than one which
would give relief from these impor-
tunities by providing other means for
| the selection of those in the service
of the government"
The report said that the progress
of the competitive system during pre-
vious administrations was followed
by "a period of comparative retro
gression under President Wilson,"
and that "the retrograde movement
was not fully arrested when Presi-
dent Harding assumed Office" The
practice of the Post Office depart
ment, under both administrations, Of
submitting eligible lists established
by the Civil Service Commission for
postmasters ito members of Congress
and local politicians for recon-
mendations as to whom among the
