wisconsln's Law Completely Drawn

The law of Wisconsin is very com
pete in itself and includes in the
statue many things which are in other
states left to the discretion and wis
dom of the administering officers. The
advantage of this is in added effec-
tiveness and permanence. If these
many matters of detail are written in
the law and not left to the admins
tering officers, they are mandatory
provisions, firmly established, certain
of enforcement and not subject to the
varying wisdom of commissioners or
subordinates. Then the commission
ers may change, and the adminstrat-
ing officers might come to be out OF
sympathy or positively hostile to the
purpose of the law. If it is a general
law and leaves much to their discre
ton. why, naturally, their discretion
will practically repeal the law, but if it
is a mandatory law with the details
quite completely involved in the stat
fute itself, then it has larger effect
and certainty, for in sense 1t en-
forces itself This is one of the good
features of the Wisconsin law.

Satisfactory Rules.

II have examined the rules drawn
by the Wisconsin commission and
find them very compete and salts
factory, comparing them with the
rules in force in the other civil service
reform states. A compromise was
effected here with respect to the ser
vice in the state institutions under
the administration of the board OF
control. There was danger of disa
greement with the board of control as
to the supervision over the employees
in the charitable and penal institu-
tions. but that incident was satisfac-
torily adjusted and the civil service
commission has adequate power with
out interfering with or destroying the
necessary disciplinary authority that
must be exercised by the board OF
control. After examination Of the
Wisconsin law. and the rules that
have been formulated. and observing
the unquestiouable ability and ear.

Put Into Their Task-Civil Service
Reform Movemen. Spreads With
Funeral of Every Boss.

The Wisconsin state civil service
law is the most complete piece OF
civil service reform legislation in the
| entire country, the men who are
charged with the administration OF
| the law are earnestly and with great
ability placing it in operation and the
outlook is most favorable for decided
success when the law shall be in full
practical operation" said Elliot IL.
| Goodwin, secretary of the National
Civil Service Reform league. He has
| been in Madison for two or three
days, comforting with the Wisconsin
commissioners and President Moulton
and Secretary Mason of the Illinois
commission, regarding the laws of
these states and the formulation OF
rules for the enforcement of the laws.
| Mr.. Goodwin is a graduate of Har-
ward, and for the last five years has
devoted himself to furthering the civil
service reform movement. He has
! been of valuable service to state leg
| islatures in assisting and suggesting
in the process of legislation on this
subject, acquainting the law makers
with what has been accomplished in
other states and what has been the
experience of those who have expert
mented in this comparatively new
| field of public administration. Last
winter Mr.. Goodwin participated in a
hearing before the legislature while the
state civil service bill of Assembly
man e. n. Warner was under discus.
sion There were also present Rich
ard H. Dana, counsel of the National
Civil Service Reform league. and
A. W. Cooley, United States civil SER
vice commissioner. They made a
number of suggestions in view Of
strengthening tha original bill and
most of their suggestions were adopt
ed and involved in the measure which
became law I'VE were not very
strenuous, however, in favor of the
amendments that We suggested" saiu
Mr. Goodwin yesterday, referring to
his first visit to Madison. "The bill
as originally drawn was good meas
ure, but there were many details in
respect to which the experience of
other states pointed to opportunities
| for improvement.
