Congressman Evans has done a good work at Wi'sh ingtor. during his first term, which is always a hard time for a congress man until he gets onto the ropes. He has made no effort to do spectacular things, but he has worked along con structive lines, especially in matters looking to elliciency in governmen tal affairs. Several amendment , which ho has proposed and which h.ivo been incorporited into legisl-i lion h ive had a big influence to that end. Notable among these nave been amendments to cut down the great number of depurtmunt.il em ployes. A report made to congiess showned that a largo number i the old employes were from 80 to 85 per cent inefficient. A bill was intro duced to retire all such niplvycs, those who had been long in the ser vice to receive a pension. li.s amendment, which was adopted pro vided that in case of employes who were classed as 90 per cent or i ion inefficient was dropped fiom the rolls no one should bo employed in their place, as they had admittedly been doing practically nothing. He has also been particularly active In doing things for his constituents, and is always ready to answer any reasonable call9ln this dlrectlno.
