Spoils System
Picks Up Speed
New Deal Adds More to
Rolls; Merit System
Is Ignored.
Month after month the records of
the United States Civil Service Com¬
mission show increases in the Fed¬
eral payroll. Not only are large
numbers of New Deal supporters be¬
ing hired for both emergency and
regular departments of the Govern¬
ment, but many thousands continue
on the rolls without any regard to
the merit system. Mr. Roosevelt
repeatedly has declared his approval
of selection of employes by civil
service examination, but for three
years armies of men and women
have been taken care of under the
Farley spoils system.
The payroll of the executive de¬
partment alone showed the enor¬
mous number of 810,418 employes
for the month of April. The May re¬
port reveals that this host of New
Deal payrollers has increased to
817,856. Washington observors are
calling attention to the fact that as
New Deal leaders continue to point
with pride to the New Deal’s rescue
of the country more “emergency”
help is required by the bureaucrats.
Tugwell Payroll Grow:,
Harry Hopkins’ administration of
Works Progress now has 35,257 em¬
ployes in addition to the 3,500,000 or
more now on Work Relief. Secre¬
Wallace is using 18,657 employes
for his emergency conservation
work and wjll have 100,000 field work¬
ers on the job before election day.
Rexford Guy Tugwell needs 19,544
for his resettlement work although
Congress specifically objected to
voting money for relief and recov¬
ery unless it was assured Mr. Tug-
well’s experiments would get none
of the funds appropriated. The Tug¬
group indicated its contempt
for Congress when it added ilmost
1,000 employes In May.
The Civil Service report has an
item called “Director’s Office” of
the Emergency Conservation work.
This office has only 60 employes,
but a footnote at the bottom of the
table carries the following interest¬
ing additiqnaj information:
"Reports in addition to regular
personnel: 277 nurses, 7,532 mili¬
tary personnel, 346,580 enrollees
(Civilian Conservation Corps),
1,327 intermittent employees, 6,-
961 enrolled Indians, 1,135 enroll-
ees in Hawaii, and 193 enrollees in
the Virgin Islands.”
These footnote additions make a
total of *64,005 employes. If added
to the 817,856 on the main list the
grand total of Executive Depart¬
ment payrollers would be 1,181,861.
The aggregate net payroll for the
Executive branch for the month
of May was $126,867,718. that rate
the annual wu.pid payroll be fof this of $1,500, branch
alone ;n excess
000,000. Tjiat amount is more than
the entire receipts of the Govern
ment from income taxes the fis¬
cal year 1936. But'9f»MC r £ c y *nd the

"Emergency” Is Excuse
These conditions have been grow
ing worse for three years and Wash
ington is asking why reform, if de
sirable after election, would not be
equally desirable between now anc. tin
November. At present Pr»08t of
departments hif§ employees only
after the applicant has submitted
recommendations from his or he:
district New Deal party leader. Mr
Roosevelt’s destruction of merit sys¬
tem standards always has been at¬
tributed to the necessity for haste
in getting men and women to work
It is now considered by friends of
the merit syatem that that excuse
has grown threadbare.
The Washington Post has protested
editorially that tile spoils system
even had invaded the air service
The Post says:
“Among the recommendations
made by the Senate sub-commit¬
tee which has been investigating
the Bureau of Air Commerct is a
proposal that all employes except
division heads be brought under
civil service rules and regulations
and that promotion be based sole¬
ly upon merit. This stress upon
the importance of the merit sys¬
tem is strong indirect proof that
the committee considers politics
and the spoils system to be largely
to blame for the disrepute into
which the air service has fallen.”
Lest We Forget Source
of American Blessings
Under the title “Lost We For¬
get” the Connecticut Economic
Council issued a Fourth of July
Fortnightly Letter in which it said:
“Lest we forget the real source
of the blessings \ye now enjoy, lest
we forget that the same source,
if eherished and preserved, will
bring us even greater blessings
as time goes on, let us, on this
160th anniversary of the birth
of liberty in America, re-declare
our independence by refusing to
trade our freedom from govern¬
ment interference for crumbs
which might drop from a bureau¬
cratic table—re-declare our inde¬
pendence to the end that in Amer¬
ica the way may be forever kept
open for ‘improvement of condi¬
tion to all.’ ”

!hr (nowill
of Bureaucracy
By RAYMOND PITCAIRN
National Chairman
- Sentinels of the
During the past five years the pop¬
ulation of the District of Columbia, seat
of our national government, has in¬
creased more than 22 per cent.
No state, or group of states, ha 3
approached that rate of growth during
the same period. It compares with a
population increase of 3.9 per cent for-
the nation as a whole.
What caused the jump? A recent
report ol the Census Bureau, whose es¬
timates supply the figures, attributes, itt
to an unprecedented peace-time influx
of Federal employes to jobs in the
scores of new bureaus and commissions
functioning during the past few years
at Washington.
These are significant facts. They in¬
troduce an arresting element of novelty
in the American picture. Except during
the brief emergencies of war-time our
most striking growths heretofore have
occurred along what might be de¬
scribed as. our geographical and indus¬
trial frontiers.
Population increased at the swtftesC
pace in states where new and produc¬
tive lands were being developed by
agriculture; in cities where aew andl
productive industries wore originating:
and expanding.
Inevitably such growth meant treater
opportunity for the men and women
who took part in the development;
greater wealth for the nation and Its
citizens as a whole.
But ar. unprecedented increase of
job-holders at Washington has quite
a different meaning It shows only a
growth ef Bureaucracy. Unlike the men
and women who, by their energy and
their labors, continue to develop Amer¬
ica and to bear the costs of its govern¬
ment, many political job-holders pro¬
duce little or nothing. They consume,
instead—out of the share ci all men
and women who labor in the borne. o»
the farm, in the factory or in business.
And the greater the number of those
who merely «*Bsume, the greater the
'nrden on those who produce.
Are you one of these nervous
people who lie awake half the
night and get up feeling “all in”?
Why don’t you do as other light
sleepers have been doing for
more than two generations—
take Dr. Miles Nervine?
One or two pleasant effervescent
Nervine Tablets or two or three
teaspoonfuls erf liquid Nervine
will generally assure a night of
restful sleep. Perhaps yo-u will
have to take Nervine two or
three times a day just at first
Nervous people have been using
J)r. Miles Nervine for Irritability, Sleepless¬
ness, Nervousness, Indiges¬
Restlessness, Nervous Headache, Travel
tion, Nervous
Sickness, for more than fifty
