OLD SPOILS SYSTEM IN PARTY POLITICS ATTACKED IN SPEECH

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec 8. An appeal to the party in power to turn its back on the "spoils system' and adopt a thorough-going application of the merit principle was made .by Richard H. Dana, Boston, president of the National Civil Service Reform League, in address before the annual convention of the league. "Let me ask the administration," said he, "whether there is any other issue it could now take up which would so appeal to the public at large and so rebound to its own credit in the history of the country. Experience has shown, that any flagrant use of patronage always loses votes tor the party responsible. Mr. Dana said that counting employes of states, counties, municipalities and township, the army of civilian public employes in the United States numbers above 8,000,000, or one for every seven families. The payroll of thi3 army !s about $3,000,000,000 a year, of which $600,000,000 is spent by the federal government. Wast 5 of Salaries. One quarter of the total of salaries paid, Mr. Datia charged, i3 wasted in supernumerary employes, unnecessary duplication of work, inadequate management and antiquated methods, "Could waste be stopped in the public service," he said, "there would be a saving to our over-taxed country of $700,000,000 a yeac" The Civil Service Reform league proposed two methods of eliminating this wastp, Mr. Dana said. First by turning efficiency and employment experts into the various departments to replace the ImiKficient, standardize work, modernize methods and put promotion on a basis of merit Instead of seniority or politftal pull. Second, by requiring that officials in the higher grades responsible for the management of the lower1 grades be selected on account of fitness. Mr. Dana appealed to the administration, to congress and the general public to support this program. "We as a country have let matters drift on far too long, he said. "We are not only wasting our patrimony, but are continuing bad habits which are becoming more firmly fixed."
