LEGISLATURE is
ITS OWN DUPE.
Attorney General Says State Civil Serv
ice Law Must Stand as
Printed.

MADISON, Wis, May 1.-[Spe-
ciaI. 1.-The argument on the civil service
Law. in which the constitutionality of
the enactment is brought into question,
was made in the supreme court today.
A petition was filed asking that the
state banking department be relieved
from the operation of the law. The ar
gument was made that the Legislature
r cant to exempt this department when
eXempting departments created by a
twothirdS vote of the Legislature, and
the craftsman made a mistake.
Double Wrong Is Alleged.
The brief of the petitioner says that
if this department will be relieved from
the operation of the law on this ground
it will not be necessary to go into the
discussion of the constitutionality of the
law. On the latter basis the brief sets
out four sections that are claimed to in
validate the whole act:
Section 8 of the law, authorizes the COM
mission to make rules and regulations which
are given the force of law This is an I'M
authorized delegation of legislative power
it is claimed.
Section % excludes from the classified
service every person who shall not nave
taken the examination prescribed. This IS
an unwarranted interference with the
rights of citizens of the state.
Usurps Power of Others.
Section "a makes 1t unlawful for the sec
rotary of state to issue any warrant for the
payment of any salary unless the pay roll
shall have the certificate of the civil sery-
ice commission as thus usurps the con-
stitutonal power of this officer to audit
state accounts
Section 80 provides that whoever, after a
rule has been duly established and pub
lished, appoints selects a person to Of.
flee except in accordance with these rules,
is guilty of a misdemeanor. This unusual
punishment is imposed for the mere viola
ton Of a rule executed by the board.
Says Legislature Was Duped.
In answering the argument that the
department should be exempt from the
operation of the law on account of the
expression two thirds vote of the legis-
lature, the attorney general contends
that this expression was a mistake of the
craftsman, is not correct, and that the
craftsman did well in doing this as it
fooled the legislature into fooling itself.
The legislature was duped and even If 1T
did use the language quoted, it did not
relieve the subordinate officers of that de-
partment from the operation of the law.
The brief criticises Mr.. Berg for his
position and shows in a broad way the
value of the civil service law.
