CIVIL SERVICE LAW ATTACKED.

Wisconsin statute Held Unconstitu-

brought by the State banking department

exempt. Points urged are that the COM

tary of State in auditing vouchers, that
rules and bylaws, and Illegally seeks to
hold jurisdiction over the banking de-
partment. Bank Commissioner Bergh Sc
