nation with reference to the special work
that they would have to do The appli-
cations would not necessarily be rated
beforehand, but there might perhaps be
certain qualification prerequisite in
terms of previous experience for admis-
sion to the written examination. A study
of the positions concerned, however.
might lead to the conclusion that the es-
Enlistment of a prerequisite for admis-
sion to the examination would not be adj
visable, and in such case the written ex-
animation would be given before any rat
ing was done. 1t is also true that in eX-
aminatons of the type such as would be
held for prohibition agent applicants who
pass the written part of the examination
are given an oral or character examination
to test points not brought out in the
written examination"
In other words, there are at least three
tests in sitting out those who are quail
fed for the task. This is not cumbersome.
Assistant Secretary of>Labor r. c. White,
recently chose several hundred men for
the border patrol. 1t was done quickly,
without political interference, and high
grade set of men was chosen. If each of
these men had been sponsored as a politi-
cal appointee, it would have taken longer
and many of those chosen would have
been less fit for the task.

Bureau and a Customs Bureau in the
Treasury Department, also for civil serv-
ice for prohibition agents. The provisions

IN SENATE ON PENDING CIVIL SERVICE BILL

sioner of Internal Revenue has the legal
responsibility for the enforcement of pro-
hibition although the work is actually
done by an assistant Secretary OF the
Treasury, with some subordinate officials.
The Secretary of the Treasury has asked
congress 10 remedy this anomalous situ-
alton by providing for a separate bureau
OF prohibition enforcement, definitely To-
eating responsibility and authority.
The proposal to place all prohibition
agents under civil service has been be-
fore Congress for more than four years.
At present, enforcement agents are polti-
cal appointees. States which need the best
officers often get the worst because, in
many cases, the political leaders are hos
tile to prohibition and endorse agents ac
cordingly
Civil Service
Civil Service for prohibition agents is
desirable for these reasons:
l.. Civil service would take the appoint
ment of prohibition agents out of politics,
so far as it can be done.
q Prohibition agents would be chosen
for their qualifications for the work ratll-
er than their political usefulness to some
politician.
g. Inefficient or corrupt agents would
not, as now, be retained in office by po-
1itical leaders.
fo+a To
law aggressively because they know if
they reach certain violators with large
political influence IT may mean their dis
missal. Civil service would give them the
largest amount of personal security in the
performance of their duty.
5. Civil service would provide corps
of officers whose selection was based upon
fitness established by examination rather
than upon political favor.
g. 1t would introduce into the Depart
ment the merit system which would favor
the promotion of efficient men and the
elimination of the incompetent or unsat-
isfactory.
l. 1t would provide an experienced per-
sonnet since the good men would be re-
tanned and protected.
Two objections are urged against plac-
Ing prohibition under civil service. The
first is that it is hard to secure eff
Gent agents The answer to this is that it
is much harder to secure the right kind of
agents under the present system. In some
instances local wet leaders have forced
endorsements upon members of Con-
gress to their detriment. The plan for
choosing agents under the proposed law
is the same as that followed in all cases
under the Federal civil service law. The
Civil Service Commission takes into ac-
count the kind of work these men have
to do and adapts the examination &C
cordingly.
The chairman of the Civil Service Com
mission replied to a question about the
difficulty of getting the right kind of men
appointed for prohibition enforcement
agents as follows:

been less fit for the task.
Answer to Second Objection
The second objection, that it is difficult
to discharge these agents once they are
in the service, comes from msunder-
standing OF the provisions of the Federal
law. Under the civil service law the per-
son in charge of enforcement could sus-
pend by wire any person guilty OF mis-
feasance, malfeasance, or even discharge
him for the good of the service. The
largest possible latitude is given to the
officer in charge in this matter. The agent
is given reasonable time to file a reply.
1t is not the Civil Service Commission or
anyone else but the head of the enforce
ment department who decides whether the
agents defense is sufficient. Under this
plan, derelct officers will be removed
more quickly than under the present sys-
TEN, where they are often retained, even
though unfit, through the political in
fuence of their sponsors. Chairman Dem
ing, of the Civil Service Commission, out
lined the procedure for removal as fol-
lows:
"In cases of suspension or removal an
employee may be suspended Immediately
by wire or otherwise for reasons which
the head of the department deems are suf-
fcient He is given a reasonable time in
which to file his reply, which he may
make either personally or by signed state
ment, and which he may accompany by
supporting afidavits, and the head of the
department determines whether the de-
