Takes a Step Backward.

Takes "a Step Backward.
1t seems tritle paradoxical that
in state which has taken such ad-
vanced ground for the publication Of
politics ms has Wisconsin there should
be- disposition on the part of con-
siderable portion of the legislature to
take n backward step. Yet SO must
the measure be regarded which was
introduced by Senator SanbOrn pro-
Eiding for taking all legislative EN-
ployes from under the jurisdiction of
the state civil service commission. 1t
appears that the legislature built more
wisely than it knew two years ago
when ii passed the civil service law
at least so the friends of civil serv-
ice reform wonld say--as it does rot
seem to have been the intent to put
these positions out of reach of the
members who have found them so con-
venient for the payment of political
debts or the giving of nice bcrths %
members of their families or other
relatives The attorney general has
ruled. however, that these places must
he assigned on the basis of merit alone
and the commission is going ahead on
that assumption and giving eXau4ira
items to all corners.
VIII Have Hard Sledding.
That Senator Sanborn. who has
been so conspicuous fighter for TIE,
form in past sessions, should lie will
ing TO father such a measure caused
some comment and that the session
should start in with a measure it
was the first introduced III either
hoUse-Mas pointed out as uifartrn-
ate but 1t was important that the
point should he settled at once thai
organization might be effected. How
ever, indications are that the measure
| will have hard Shedding and lis pas
sage I'm the assembly is exceedingly
doubtful. as Speaker Ekern is under
stood to be strongly opposed to chang
ing the operation of the law as con.
.ued by the attorney general. Friends
of civil service are working hard 10
save the objectionable clause and are
using the powerful argument that the
tendency all along the line is to put
such positions on a merit basis and
that tne character of the work de-
mands skilled and competent hands,
which is the result in only a limited
degree when such places are open to
general scramble.
An interesting member of the lower
house is l.. II. Palmer, the only color d
Wisconsin legislator, If not indeed III
the entire north. and it is a strange
caprice of fate that he should also rep
resent the weaIthiest district in the
state. He is fine-looking member,
% years old and is caterer at his
| home in Milwaukee.
