Three Important Changes.
If the tentative agreement of the
conference last week is adhered to

three important and substantial
changes in the present Bishops law.
The most radical modification to be
proposed is an amendment to the
I present law which will make option

SERVICE BILLS
Peoples Lobby Gives Reasons
For FavOriug the Colby Meas
ure As Against ThOmpsOn's
DEMAND FOR CIVIL SERVICE.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25:-The execu-
tive committee of the Peoples Lobby
today made the following announce
ment concerning and comparing the
Colby and Thompson civil service
bills. now before the legislature:
The Colby bill (senate 23) is a
carefully drawn and comprehensive
measure covering all departments of
state, county and municipal govern
ment. 1t expresses the mature judg-
ment of the leading civil service ad-
vocates and organizations and 1t pur-
poses to complete the task so far as
the state of New Jersey is concern
ed. There are few minor particu-
lars wherein improvement might be
made or upon which discussion, at
least, might be profitable.
The Thompson bill (assembly 81
is entirely different, both in scope and
method. 1t is at most but a fore
runner for civil service legislation
and is limited and crippled to meet
the favor of individuals who care
nothing for reform, but are willing
to do something to satisfy public de-
mand.
Is insufficient.
The Peoples Lobby cannot favor
anything so insufficient, particularly
as it's passage would injure the
chance of the better measure and
confuse public thought on the sub
ject, thereby delaying the establish
ment of a complete system.
The Thompson bill provides for the
appointment of commissioners by the
chief Justice. The Colby bill for
their appointment by the governor
On general principles 1t is a misun-
derstanding and misuse of judicial
function TO have such appointments
made by the chief justice. In prac-
tical operation under existing condi.
tions, there would be no advantage In
having the chief justice make polite
al appointments.
We prefer the Colby plan for a
more responsible and better remun.
Grated head for the commission. I'm.
der this plan there would be three
commissioners at salary of $2,50C
each and the president to be elected
by and from the commission would
iSS0ifC thO nOOkblOldt ouHl vi PEgOOU
The Thompson bill favors three com.
missioners of equal authority, serv'
ing not more than 200 days in yeal
at SIS per day, which divides respon
sibility and is a bad arrangement fol
payment of salary to either faithful
or faithless officials.
Only to State Departments.
The Thompson bill applies only tC
state departments and has provi
sion enabling a municipal govern
ment to call upon the people, by ref
erendum, to decide whether or no
they wish the system extended to tina
municipality. There is no initiative
given the people; that power is givel
1 the existing municipal government
