Charges I that the Democratic party under the. Wilson administration has wrecked the merit system of government service and prostituted the federal civil serv ice commission to the demands of spoils politics was made in the House to-day by Representative Fess , of Ohio. "During the years froip 1883 to 1913," said Mr. Fess, "the civil serv ice commission gained a real place as one of the government bureaus. It was the one commission that stood for efficiency rather than partisan ad ministration. The commission itself in its personnel was so created Roose velt, to avoid partisanship, made it Democratic, and Taft continued It so. "The advance of the merit system was constantly supported by the party in power by legislative enactment. It was loudly proclaimed in the Demo cratic platforms every four years. Gives Wilson's Record "This administration must be judged by the record it makes. Up to date its record on the civil service is as follows: "June 23, 1913: Technical services in the office of the supervising archi tect exempted from the classified ser vice. This was a rider on an appro priation bill. "October 3, 1913: Agents, deputy collector, inspectors and other em ployes in connection with the income tax exempted from civil service rules. "October 22, 1913: Deputy collectors of internal revenue and deputy United States marshals exempted from civil service rules. This was a rider upon an appropriation bill. "December 23, 1913: Employes un der the federal reserve act, are not in cluded in the civil service regulations. "July IC, 1914: Commercial at taches, department of commerce, ex empted from regulations of the merit system, by a rider to an appropriation bill. "August 1, 1914: Commissioner of immigration, New Orleans, by a rider upon an appropriation bill was ex empted from the operation of the merit system. "August 1, 1915: Commissioner to five civilized tribes taken out of the civil service regulations." Representative Fess also pointed out that the entire lists of officers un der the rural credits bill, just passed by the House, are outside the civil service and that the same tactics are pursued in the shipping bill.
