The house indulged in it's annual
joke of striking from the legislative ap-
porpriatiOn bill all provision for the
civil service commission. This action
is taken each year in committee of the
whole and the provision is then invar-
iably restored when the bill gets back
into the house. where the members
have to respond TO their names upon
a roll call. Most of the day was devoted
to debate as to what section supplied
