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.

the offices paying $180 or less to be \Z
filled upon inspectors' recommenda- ^
tions. \
Rules and regulations to govern ^

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
