year's work is by Charles G. lends.
, the president. He gives his attention
to the remodelling of the law by the
recent General “notably. He points
out that the changes brought about
developed a new situation and threw
the commission into the “greatest
confusion." The year’s work, in con-
sequence of changes in the law, Mr.
Morris points out has been less, and
or a less interesting nature as com-
pared with what was done under the
1913 stntute.
Mr. IMerrie says in his review:
“During the past year the commission
has been operating under two plans
so widely dlflerent in theory and 0!
feet that it seems desirable to out
line their main differences.
“The Civil Service law or 1913 was
planned to include as large a pop
tion as possible of the subordinate
employee of the state under the merit
system. Otllcers directly charged
with the duty of establishing the
policy of the state or of any of its
departments or institutions. whether
elected by popular vote or appointed
by a higher authority. were specifics!
