MORE TROUBLE FOR MERIT
Pretty Puzzle Put Up to Civil Service
Board by SUDDEN Office
Seeker

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 30. Special
"A question has been put up TO the civil
service commission which promises to be
a poser and still further ,harrass that
body, which has been severely tried since
the converting Of the Legislature. Fred
Wyic of Morrisonvile, son of former
Senator George Wylic, a clerk in the
secretary of states Office. desires to be
transferred 10 legislative position which
will nay considerably more than the sal
AIRY he is now receiving, although only
Temporary position. The reason for this
is that Secretary of State Frcar insists
that every member of his department
shall give his Who'll" time TO his duties
for the state while his predecessor Wal
ter l.. Houser, allowed many of his
clerks to take courses in the university
ut the time they were on the payrolls for
the state Young Wyle has not taken
the civil service examinations for legiS-
latiyc positions but claims that he can
be transferred from his present position
to legislative position under the rules.
If the commission decides in his favor.
there may be q score or more similar re-
quests and the persons who took the
civil service examinations with the eX-
recitation of having first crack Mt the
fifty odd legislative jobs will undoubtedly
bc even more indignant than they are
now. The full list of legislative appoint
mcnts will probably be made public to-
night or Wednesday, the delay, according
to general opinion being due to the man
iplation and jugglcry of the appointing
powprs so that men friendly to those III
authority win be appointed.
