MERIT SYSTEM
FIGHT NEEDS
OUTLINED
By J. EARLE MOsER

Before any real strides can be
made in establishing a complete
merit system in the Federal serv-
ice, appointments of poStmaSterS
in first, second and third class
offices must be eliminated as
prime patronage tidbitS, House
Civil Service Chairman Robert
RamSpeck insists.
The Georgian, whose fight for
extended leave ended Saturday
with q scratch from several pens
in the hand of President RooSe-
welt, indicated recently that the
minor postmasterShip plum con-
stitutes the largest single draw
back to the merit campaign.
In his words:
"If we can once break down
SpOiIS in reference to post
masters, the first part Of the
spOilS fight will be over. There
are about $4,000 Of them at the
present time, constituting .
great force to work against"
His bill to do this very thing
now is on the House consent cal
endar, and as it was blocked pre-
viously by unexpected objections,
he Is expected to seek a special
rule for it's consideration. He also
recently indicated that his com.
mittee shortly will report out his
bill to give the President author
ity to bring apparently permanent
agencies under civil service law.
Drawn Battle
The battle of the pens" turned
out q draw. as predicted.
After the leave bills were
signed, each major organization
received pens used by Mr.. RooSe-
welt, and Representative Ram
speck received two. SO every
body'S satisfied.
Incidentally. Mr.. Ramspeck also
received a gold watch from the
D. c. Department of the A. F. G. E.
During the presentation, Presi-
dent James G. Yaden Of the D. c.
group drew a laugh with his un.
Intentional statement:
"This token is in appreciation
for all the things which we
have done for you"
Mr.. Yaden quickly corrected
himself amid filters.

BY J. &.

Raleigh. Aug. 6.-There is still an
other commission, authorized by the
1885 General Assembly in the spring
Of 1885, which Governor j. G. b. En-
ringhaus has not yet appointed, 1t was
discovered here today. This is the
commission or committee to study
and investigate "the high and unrea-
sonabe retail prices of fertilizers,
authorized in House Resolution 1886
introduced by DR.. r. l.. Carr of Dup
lin county and ratified May IL, 1850
The resolution carries no approprla-
ton, however, not even per diem ana
expenses for the members, so that
those who are appointed on it must
pay their own expenses.
When Governor Ehringhaus ap-
pointed the various members OF the
liquor fact-finding commission, the
gasoline price investigation commits
sion and the county road debts com
mission, the general belief was tha'
he has at last named all OF the com
missions he had been directed to ap
point by the 1885 General Assembly
even though he had waited more than
a year after the passage of the re-
solutions to name them. But today
some one came across the resolution
authorizing the appointment of the
fertilizer price investigating commit
tee and pointed out that it has not
yet been appointed.
This resolution directs that the fer
tilizer cost investigating committee

but that if something was not done
the next legislature might do some
thing about it. The representatives OF
the oil companies listened courteously
but with an air of GOODNESS, made lit

oline prices all over the State were

average price was about % cents q

Both the governor and the public re-
sented this action and the go-to-hel
attitude of the oil companies. But
there was nothing they could do about
it.
But the 1885 General Assembly met
in January. The big gasoline com
panies had their usual highly paid
high powered lobbyists here. But
neither the governor nor the mem
bers of the legislature had forgotten
the answer of the oil companies tC
the governors plea for fair treatment

venue bill came along, Representative
Barker of Durham proposed sec
ton which would tax chain filling
stations on the same basis they are
taxed in West Virginia and thus in
crease the taxes paid by the gasoline
companies very greatly. He also pro
posed that the State set up it's owr
gasoline terminals and buy it's owr
gasoline, amounting to more than 5,
100000 gallons year, from the re
