WASHINGTON LETTER
CONTINUED from page i,

and duplication of work and
methods of business in the var
ious branches of the Government
service has functioned quietly.
Out of 33 recommendations made
in the report submitted to Con-
gress in 1922, eight have already
been adopted in whole or in part.
Recommendations dealt primar-
lily with the transferring TO a
single organized unit under the
Department of Commerce the
collection and dissemination of all
statistics.
In every town there are ambit-
ious folks wanting to enroll as
workers for the government. The
annual report of the United
States Civil Service Commission
has been discussed by several
members of Congress who were
concerned over their patronage
list. 1t is significant to note that
the Civil Service Commission re-
commends the continuation of
the merit system and urges its
extension to apply to the select
ion tenure pay and promotion of
all nonpolitical employees.
Quite courageously the Civil
Service Commission recommends
the removal of postmasterships
from patronage. The change in
legislative methods has lie t
the average congressman high
and dry when it comes to reward
ing the faithful henchmen back
home.
1t seems unlikely that any
serious movement will be under
taken this year when the support
of every political leader will be
needed to secure the renomina-
ton for the present incumbents.
The Civil Service Commission is
also making an effort to wipe out
political activity on the part of
Government employees. During
the fiscal year of 1925 the Com
mission took action in 108 cases
of complaint relating to political
activity and assessment. In AZ of
the cases the charges were not
sustained. In So cases the Com
mission recommended warning
and reprimand, in 6 cases it
recommended removal, and in z
it recommended reduction in sal
airy.
However, the Civil Service ex-
aminations frequently relieve
congressman of embarrassment
where there are. numerous con-
tenders for one office. He can
usually pass the responsibility
along to this Federal agency over
which he has no control and thus
save himself from. political ex-
plantations.
