the appointing officer and can not under

peal to or inquiry by the commission. Re
moval for religious or political reasons is
illegal" -Excerpt from letter written by
William c. Deming, president, United
States Civil Service Commission to Mr.
Wayne B. Wheeler
Why This misunderstanding
Many misunderstanding concerning
civil service come from the fact that some
states have poor civil service laws and the
people think the Federal law will work
just as badly. Those having had expert
ence with both systems agree that we can
get more efficiency and integrity in the
service under the proposed plan. Col
Mutt, in charge of the Narcotic division,
chooses his men under the civil service
law. The best recommendation for plac-
ing prohibition agents also under civil
service is found in his report which tells
of the increased number of cases made,
their successful prosecution and, as the
report says, "a more effective operation of
the field force and more efficient means
for disclosing violations of the law"
Mr.. F. c. Yellowley, who has been in
the Internal Revenue service and the pro-
hibition enforcement service for many
years, has repeatedly stated that civil
service would increase efficiency OF prohi-
bition enforcement very materially.
Civil service for prohibition agents has
been endorsed by both major political
parties and by practically every temper-
ance, enforcement and civic organization.
