Merit Board Cuts States Expense

Merit Board Cuts States Expenses.
The 1911 session of the Wisconsin
legislature required only one-third as
many employees as the session of 1901,
and the average cost for legislative
clerical help has been reduced 45 per
cent. in the past five years, or since
the installation of the civil service
system. These facts are shown by the
records of the state civil service COM
mission. The statement was made by
Secretary E. E. Doty.
While there are several states which
have civil service commissions, Wis
consin is the only one that selects en-
ployes of the legislature by the merit
rule. Opportunities for significant
comparisons are numerous. In 1901,
for example, when employees were
chosen under the spoils system, it re-
quired a clerical force of 255 at an
average daily expense of 1902 to as
sist the lawmakers In 1907 the same
work was done by los employees Sc
lected by civil service rules at an av
erage daily cost Of only $287.
The session of the legislature,
which ended July II, last, cost the
state approximately $4,000 for cler-
ical help, an average daily expense Of
about $685.. In 1901 it cost the state
$3.50 for legislative clerical help for
each bill introduced during the ses-
sion. The cost per bill in the 1909
session was only $3279, and the fig
ures indicate that the cost for the
last session was about $50 per bill.
This is in striking comparison with
the legislature of Illinois which elect
ed Lorimer. Upon the above basis,
each bill introduced in that legislature
cost $113.

Fog Bound Steamer.

New York, Jan. 3.-Tugs were hur-
ried out today to find tho Now Eng
land Navigation Company's steamboat
Priscilla and bring her $50 hungry
passengers ashore. The Priscilla is
anchored somewhere in the sound, Off
College Point, l.. l., fearing to make
the hazardous trip through He'll Gate
in the densest fog New York has e1-
perience in many years. The Pris-
ella was due yesterday, but her cap
tain was unwilling to force in through
the fog. The food supply ran low.
Wireless messages were sunt to the COM
pany's office 10 New York asking that
tugs be sent with food, as the fog
showed no sign OF lifting. The tugs,
however, could not get to the Priscilla
last night for the same reason that the
Priscilla could not come into port. The
continued fog around the harbor played
havoc with shipping, many liners hay-
ing been held up for thirty hours or
more. The Minnewaka, from South
ampton, anchored off Sandy Hook yes.
terday morning at 5 O'Clock and is still
there, her captain unwilling to attempt
the trip into port. The other steamers
anchored off the Hook are the Verde,
the Bermudian Prinz Eitel Frederick
and ten inbound coastwise vessels.
