PRESIDENT TAFT'S ORDERS. Under President Taft's order of October 15, 1912, fourth-class postmasters were divided into two classes, class "A," those drawing more than $500, and class "B," those drawing less than $500. Competitive examinations were prescribed for future applications for class "A" appointments, while the ( class "B" positions were to be filled i upon recommendations of postofhce / Inspectors.

BURLESON'S STATEMENT. In his statement the Postmaster General said: "I feel that President Taft's order of October .16, 1912, last, did not go far enough in that It failed to apW ply a merit system to the entire service it was intended to cover. It had the effect of placing within the classified service a large number of postmasters who have not been required to demonstrate their fitness for such appointments. Fundamentally a reform movement measure has for its purpose the righting This Br of an existing wrong. Therefore, if the application of the merit system to the postal service was needed in . . order to correct an existing evil, hinged then the scope of the order affecting I0.]*11 the change should have been broad , ? a enough to have corrected as far as " possible the condition then existing "s . as a result of the former system as z?or wl1 well as to accomplish the desired , ?
