Publicity Will Inevitably
Destroy the Boss" System

BY JOHN T. DOYLE. Secretary United States Civil Service commission
I is a function Of the civil service commission to afford to the
public the fullest information respecting the observance of the
rules and the DISTRIBUTION OF PATRONAGE. A
most efectual remedy for the "boss' system and the misuse Of
patronage is publicity, and nothing so much fosters that system as the
lack Of information respecting the administration of the service. If
appointments are shrouded in darkness it would be NATURALLY
believed that evils exist.
Secrecy is not an element of our political system, and it is only
falsehood and corruption that are sought to be kept in darkness. The
appointing officer who means and acts we'll recognizes his obligation to
the public and COURTS IT'S OPINION.
Records Of employees need to be kept by a central body in order
that statistics may be compiled in a uniform manner. They need to be
kept by a body OUTSIDE THE DEPARTMENTS to guard against
laxity and to bring all appointments to the light Of criticism. Where
the service records are open to the public IN ONE CENTRAL
PLACE it is enabled to keep informed of the workings of the civil
service laws and rules, and confidence is thus inspired in the honesty of
their administration.
PUBLIC CONFIDENCE, INTEREST AND SYMPATHY ARE ESSEN.
1IAL TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY LAW, AND IT IS ONLY eY
ENLGHTENiNG THE PUBLIC AND FAMLiARiZlNG IT WITH ITS
WORKINGS THAT INTELLIGENT PUBLIC OPINION CAN BE EN-.
LISTED IN AID OF THE MERIT SYSTEM.

AM disposed to think that the matters of organizing corpora.
tions and of initiating movements for inviting the confidence
of the public are MPERFECTLY SAFEGUARDED with
- us and that it would be wise if in view of our recent expert
ence we should surround them with precautions which as yet
we have not adopted. Iii is with nations as it is with ~men-CAUTION
CONES WITH EXPERIENCE; but the curious characteristic of
our administration of public trusts is that people evince a disposition
to repose confidence in men o n what might be called their general
record, without exacing from corporations scrupulous accounting not
only of moneys, but Of the policies AND PRINCIPLES which in
spne action.
1t would be interesting, for example, to note how far the average
insurer, If ne had been consulted in regard to the contributions Of large
sums OF money for particular purposes would have authorized such a
contribution, BUT THE CORPORATION NEVER CONSULTED
Him. The corporation assumed it had the right to protect the inter-
ests OF shareholders, who are the insured; and the methods by which
those interests were to be PROTECTED were, it believed, or appar-
emily believed, wholly within its own discretion.
THE QUESTION 49, OUGHT THEY TO BE OR HOW FAR OUGHT
THEY TO BE LEFT TO THE JUDGMENT OF THE CORPORATIONS?
Our friends in foreign lands have found a great deal to commiser-
ate in the situations that we have uncovered, but to our everlasting
honor be it remembered that we ourselves uncovered them. There are
other nations and corporations that have been made aware of the same
situation with which we in America have been dealing, but which have
principally distinguished their interest in them by their efforts TO
CONCEAL THE FACTS. Therefore those who are fond Of girding
at American corporate corruption may wisely pause a little and reflect
upon the lesson that has been given to the world BY what the legislature
of New FORK state has done in the direction Of fearless and UNSPAR-
ING scrutiny.
