If critics succeed in destroying the

CIVIL SERVICE HEAD
ANSWERS
Says illinois Governor Mis-.
taken in Charges of
Failure.

President Deming of the Civil Serv-
ice Commission today charged former
Gov. Lowden of Illinois with polite
oratorical. .exaggeration' in connec-
ton with criticisms of the civil serv-
ice made by the governor Saturday
night before the national conference
of social work.
In his opinion" declared Mr.. Dem
ing, referring to Gov. Lowden. he
asserted there has been no progress
in civil service since the law went
on the statute books forty years ago
Taken at IT'S face value. that state
ment means there has been no prog
ress whatever in the United States
civil service.
Il would say, that Gov. Lowden may
be charged with hyperbole or polite
oratorical exaggeration," continued
Mr.. Deming. He pointed out the
growth of the service from approx
mately $4,000 positions forty years
ago to 100000 persons on June 80,
THE elevating and moral effect
of competition of that character in
the federal civil service. which is in
progress all the time, will doubtless
be. conceded by Gov. Lowden." Mr..
Deming said the governor was in err
ror in saying that 1t is not possible

nations, "because these characteristics
of human nature are being tested IN
