Civt Service.

The civil service bill has not been
threshed out on the floor. but it will
afford room for talk. In fact, there is
a good deal of talkiu, these days as.
members find that anybody can make
a speech. The Illinois legislature has
turned down the League bill, but ad-
vances one confined TO state institu-
tions. The Wisconsin bill provides five
classes.
In the classified service one deputy
or assistant Of each principal executive
officer and the chief clerk or secretary
of every board or commission are ex-
empt from The requirements Of the

Railroads and Rum.

The two big topics under the white
dome these days are the railroad rate

hard after All are expected to cut

What of railroad regulation? Il
there is anyone who definitely knows
what is going TO happen, he has not
showed his head. 1t IS of crucial in
terest, for Governor LaFollette's fu-
ture is related to it. One of his lieu
tenants says in all sincerity that one
thing is absolute; if the governor does
not get what he deems a full meas
ure, lie will stay in the state. If he
can show a refusal TO go to the SEN
ate as an object lesson-something
which would impress the whole ma
tion-his friends say that, with the
primary election law next summer,
he can not fail 10 get fourth nomin-
alton. 1t would be daring thing to
ask the state-but the governor is a
daring man--and he has only about
$4,000 majority TO protect him. and
that of a presidential year. But the
"ins" always have an advantage in
operating the primary election system.
OF course, the opposition would be
mighty, especially as the anti-cigar-
cite law and this temperance land
slide are counted upon TO ALLEVIATE GER

itics. Moreover. there are not few
of his Iieutenants in the legislature
who wish him to go to Washington,
some that he may pass round the
"plums" Of federal patronage, and 9th
ers that the home field may be cleared
for their own ambitions. These will
hope for agreement on a railroad law
that will withdraw any reason why
Governor LaFollettc may not accept

The Situation.


The assembly has passed a bill with
an easy majority. The senate is di-
vided The four Democratic votes are
important, and they take their stand
on the elective ature--they want the
three commssio- ers elected, Worth,
of Dodge. and others are apparently
set IN this matter, for they regard it
as a Democratic principle, and Neal
Brown, the sage OF Wausau, and 9th
ers are abetting them in the matter

contest in tie senate. Some say Il Is

if nm elective commission were named

one can imagine this assembly ac-
cepting this feature and il is ques-
ton whether the senate can pass such
a bill as the assembly wants wiinout
