CIVIL SERVICE
ADHERENTS LIKE
NEW JERSEY LAW
No Foundation, They Say, for
Statements That the Measure
Is a Weak One.
From a stan Correspondent

TRENTON, April dissatisfaction Is
expressed by adherents of civil service
over the passage of the civil service
law in this State. 1t was feared at first
that some of the amendments made to
it might nullify good features, but Sem
ator Alderman, of Union County, who
introduced it, is satisfied that he got it
through.
Elliott H. Goodwin, of New York, in
speaking of the bill. said:
Il believe the New Jeresy law con-
tains the essential elements for n sue
cessful administration of the merit sys-
tenn in New Jersey. Only six States
have adopted civil service laws apply
ing to the State service, and the New
Jersey law, while not as comprehensive
as the laws in force in New York and
Massachusetts, is broader in it's scope
than those that have been adopted in
the States of Wisconsin. Illinois and
Colorado.
Il do not personally favor a bi-par-
tisan commission Of four, but l regard
1t as a decided improvement on the
plan for an elective commission.
THE crucial period for a civil service
law is right at the beginning. Its sue
cess will depend entirely upon its adj
m~inistration, and Governor Fort. with
the interest which he has displayed in
the passage of the law, certainly can
not fail to appreciate this in connection
with the first appointments of civil
service commissioners to draw up rules
and put the system in operation
Edward X. Sumerwell, of East Or
ange, said:

the essential principles of the merit

scheme for stopping the work of

ever a peddler appears in that
section the merchants send out a
man and team to follow the
peddler and whenever he stops
at a farm house to solicit trade
the man sent out by the mer-
chants also stops and underbids
him on every article offered for
sale. The peddlers soon find
they can do no business and quit
the field. The scheme might be
tried successfully in any COM
munity.
