C.--More than a quarter of a million persons have been adrfert to the direct* full-time federal government pay roll by the Roosevelt administration, it Is Indicated by figures released by the civil service commission. I.PSS than 1 In 100 of the new appointees passed civil service examinations. The anniiat^vayroll of the a<V'pd employees alone Is more than $4.r»0,<H»H.fl00/ a figure equal In yearly one-seventh of the national doticlt. predicted for the current fiscal year This Is over and In addition to a federal payroll which was $S00,(K)0.00U at the time of Presi dpnt Iloosevelt's inati>;urHtir.n. • From t021 to r.i.'Ht tlie average nnm- I tier of direct, full-time federal employees was 570,(MKi On March 4. liKt.t. j the figure stood at JVG1.481, accojrdinK to 1 the general accounting ollice./ At I lie I dose of IU3S It waK, 8i!\7S0. nn Increase of 2;V>.:>01 In 34 monllrs.

Besides creating these now Jobs, the administration, during the snine months, made approximately. 6I.;"00 re placements of personnel In agencies which existed before the New Deal with Its many bureaus came Into power. The average number of appointments made was actually about ."! 10.SOft. or an average of 1V.317 federal appointments a month. None of these figures Includes employees in the Ju diciai or legislative branches of the government; Ihe army, navy or marines; federal construction Workers; CCC enrollees, OF 2,228,064 persons on direct work relief. Uow this wholesale granting of federal appointments lias begun a reversion to the "spoils" system of Andrew Jackson's time Is only hinted at in the fact that Franklin p. Roosevelt is the tlrst President since the civil service law was enacted who has failed to extend Its scope. Only 10.R per cent of federal employees In executive civil service came under statutory merit regulations in 1884; this became 51.2 per cent In 1904 ; 67.2 per cent under Wilson; 74.8 per cent under Coolldge, and 80.8 per cent under Hoover. By the end of the 1935 fiscal year, after 28 months of the New Deal, the percentage had dropped to 57, and It Is still slipping. 40 Votes for a Job; An explanation of this pew spoils system Is ventured by Lawrence Sullivan, veteran Washington correspondent, in the Atlantic Monthly for Feb ruary, UKUS. He writes: "Mr. Farley estimates, from long experience and careful checks, that every job, on the average, is worth forty v ites In the next election. .
