RULES G0VEBNIH6 THE POSTMASTER SERVICE
Must Give Entire Time to Postbflice —No Sideline Businesses—Rules Included in Mr. Gray's List.
Appointment of Postmasters at Presidential Offices. Postmaster General Burleson has made it plain that postmasters in the presidential grades will be held to strict accountability in the matter of the time they devote to their respective oflices and the character of service they actually- perform. From information received by him it is apparent that some postmasters, after securing the appointment, have imposed a considerable portion of the duties of the postoffice upon the subordinates in order to utilize the time for personal ends, and he proposes not merely to discourage this practice, but to stamp it out. It is the policy of the administration to require in all cases conscientious and efficient service from its officers and employees. Neglect of duty and inefficient service on the part of postmasters will not be tolerated.

Clerks and carriers attached to postoffices are required by law to render service for eight hours daily and the Postmaster General sees no reason why the postmaster wiio is the directing head and whose compensation greatly exceeds that of any of the employees under him should not give at least an equivalent in time and effort. The postmaster is selected for the position which he holds because of his presumed superior ability, his qualifications for rendering satisfactory public service and his personal standing, and it is not fair to the Government that he should employ his time arid energy in other directions. It is believed that if all postmasters honestly devoted to the service the amount of time consistently expected of them, and gave to the work of their respective offices that degree of efficient personal supervision and direction which good business rules suggest, instead of leaving their proper duties to subordinates, the service would not only gain in efficiency, but considerable economy would be effected in a better distribution of duties and a. consequent reduction in clerical force.
It is important that the integrity of the postal service be preserved

since the general welfare of the people depend so much upon it. The personnel to whom the people must look for good service should therefore be of a high class.
In making new appointments to offices of the presidential grades, the Department will require here• after in addition to the usual qual• ifications with respect to ability, character and business experience, an assurance from the appointee that his whole business time will be devoted to the duties of the of• fice to which he is appointed.
There was some inclination to laugh at Congressman Gray's list of questions to the applicants for post office appointments in fact, some applicants themselves objected to some of the questions asked in the congressman's list, but from the above rules promulgated by the Postmaster General it is evident that Congressman Gray knew in advance what would be required of the men he recommended for post• masters in his district. Anyone who heretofore might have thought the' requirements set out for applicants was unfair, will surely have to reconsider such conclu• sions now, as they have become the permanent policy of the Postoffice Department. The purpose of the rule is .to secure the proper and efficient service to the people.'
