THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND., WEDNESDAY, AUG. 31, 1921. FOULKE WARNS HAYS AGAINST VIOLATING MERIT SYSTEM LAW WOMAN SCULPS BUST OF HARDING TRANSPORT QUESTION IS NEXT PROBLEM IN CLOTHING CAMPAIGN FACTS ONLY TRUTH ALWAYS

mJ&BfflM'S

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Aug. 31. William Dudley Foulke, of Richmond, has written the following letter to Will H. Hays, postmaster general: "I have Just read in today"s Indianapolis Star an article, which says Representative Merrill Moores. as a courtesy extended by the postoffice department, will be given opportunity to indicate which of the three highest eligibles for the postmastership of Indianapolis he desires to be named, and that Mr. Moores will recommend a Republican, if members of his party get place on the eligible list. Sees Law Violation. "7 presume that this is a mistake so far as the 'courtesy' extended by the postoffice department is concerned, or at least so far as your knowledge of it is concerned, for this would be a distinct violation of Section 10. of the civil service law, which provides 'That no recommendation which may be given by any senator or member of the house of representatives except as to the character or residence of 'the applicant shall be received or considered by any 'person concerned in making any appointment under this act. "If it be said that the act does not yet apply to presidential postmasters,

it seems quite evident that the spirit

and purpose of it does. Since the ob

ject of the president in making these offices competitive was to give them,

so far as possible, the status of competitive classified employes, and the main objection to allowing the choice

out of three, Instead of appointing the

head of the list, as done under Presi

dent Wilson's order, was that those

appointments would now go by recommendation of congress, and upon political considerations so Jast a3 that would be possible among the three highest. Cites Burleson Case "I desire to recall to your memory the fact that it was upon this question of Article 10 that Postmaster General Burlesan had his first trouble with the friends of the merit system, which resulted in more serious question afterward. He invited the advice or the representatives of the district relative to the comparative qualifications of the three eligibles for fourth-class postmasters. The National Civil Service Reform League, at its annual meeting in Chicago. 1914, specifically and especially condemned this act, and President Dana, after the postmaster general had replied that he had merely asked information from representatives not in their capacity as members of a political party, but as representatives of their district nd community, replied that under such a loose construction a judge prohibited from sitting in a case in which he has any interest might ignore the law, giving as his reason that he was not to sit as a party Interested, but as an Impartial judge. "The league's criticisms were continued against Burleson for some years. He declared they were unjust and that we owed him an apology. He was asked to speak before the league at its annual meeting in New Haven, Dec. 5, 1916, and did so, setting forth his justification in a written address, to which I replied. An account of this joint debate is found in the book, "Fighting the Spoilsman." a copy ot which I send by the same mail, on pages 249 and 254. I think you will find it interesting. Denies Allegation "I called his attention to the fact, when he denied that he was asked for comparative recommendation, that his order said it was his practice to ask congreesmen to advise him relative to the character and fitness of the three eligibles, that this was the thing which the statute said he should not do, and that congressmen had interpreted his request as authorizing political recommendations. "The controversy ended with considerable discredit to Mr. Burleson, ana was among the make-weights which lead to his great unpopularity. I feel very confident that such a controversy annot arise under the administration of one who has consistently given !-uch support as you have to the merit system."

Arrangements for sending in clothing from country districts to be assembled with contributions collected in Richmond, is the next step in the plan to forward clothing to European sufferers from Wayne county, according to Mrs. A. W. Roach. An effort is being made to have some firm or individual donate the use of a motor truck for this purpose. At least 100 sacks of clothing had been contributed at the end of the days drive, according to reports from stations in Richmond, Tuesday. Mrs. Roach said Wednesday it was her belief that the out of town stations would form a total at least this large. Public is Willing.

The response to the call was general and immediate. Some of the stations received so much material that it was necessary to send In to headquarters

for more sacks in which to pack the

clothing.

Because freight charges are so high at present, a movement is on foot to

have free transportation provided for

the contributions from the middle

west. It is believed that all contribu

tions will have been received and sent

out by Saturday.
