The charge Is made that favoritism Is rampant in the . departments, and that, While promotions and demotions as ft matter of theory are dependent upon, the operations, of the civil service law; the administration of the law- in reality Is a farce- In recent years the grumbling against the administration of i this law has grown louder, with each succeeding qongress.
