THE NEW INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION.

The results accomplished by govern
mental commissions are usually un-
satisfactory. Frequently commissions
are established as pretext for de-
laying legislation. and often their
work is demoralized and rendered OF
no value through the selection of their
clerical ana investigating forces by
political methods. Even in cases
where an earnest effort is made, much
time is lost am a large amount of
money is wasted because of inherent
lack of Capitalization in the direction
and supervision of their work.
The Commission on Industrial Rela
tons which has just been appointed by
President Taft. if it is to be success
ful. must overcome two exceedingly
strong obstacles. one of these is the
strong tendency towards decentrsI
izatiOn which will inevitably arise
from the composition of the commits
sion itself, its members being repre-
sentative in equal numbers Of labor.
capital and the general public. The
second difficulty is to be found in the
wide range Of authority conferred upon
the commission. There is danger OF
too little concentration. and by at
tempting too much TO accomplish moth
inc. This tendency may be obviated
by making preliminary surveys and by
outlining its plans carefully before any
detailed work is undertaken DURING
recent years d vast quantity Of origi-
nal information has been collected by
the former Immigration Commission
and Tariff Boar. the Federal Bureau
Of Labor am Corporations. and by 9TH
er governmental agencies. and these
data have been only partially digcsteG
and published. As a preliminary to its
own work. tho new commission should

PEACE PROMISE.

The official announcement that The
peace ambassadors of the great powers
have agreed upon Albanian autonomy
and the concession of commercia
port on the Adriatic TO Servia clears
the European international atmosphere

not, in truth. positive assurance

The latter had declared her willing
adjustment by the great powers. and
from that declaration she cannot re-
cede. The issues were entirely her own
affair, and the other parties TO the
Balkan concert are eliminated from
right TO interfere or to protest. Even
were they disposed so to do. obviously
the policy would be suicidal, as bear

CIVIL SERVICE IN THE CITY GOV
ERNNENT.


The commendabie purpose of the
ordinance offered last night at the
meeting of the City Council by Council
man Vonderlehr is to require the es-
adjustment Of rules and regulations
concerning the admission OF persons
into the service of the city and the fit
ness OF such persons in respect to age.
health. character, knowledge and abil-
ity for the branch of the service which
they seek 10 enter. To effect this end.
the proposed law would create a board
of examiners. The aim. of course. is
to establish civil service regulations
concerning the qualifications of per-
sons who would enter the citys en-
ploy.
The superiority Of such a system,
rightly safeguarded. cannot be ques-
toned. Wherever municipal civil ser
vice regulations have been employed
and enforced. municipalities have vast
~ improved the quality Of the service
rendered them by their employees and
is demonstrable merit The test it es-
tablishes is fitness for the position
sought. and not political pull or the
promise Of future political hustling.
Civil service IS Il supreme protection
70 the peoples welfare when it is used
in the selection of applicants TO ill
positions requiring more than an ord
mary degree of skill. experience. tech
meal or expert knowledge. Under its
workings. the expert can be secured
with certainty. while the inexpert are
automatically eliminated upon their
own showing.
The greatest benefit that such
system confers upon a city is that II
prevents the political manipulation Of
municipal positions. It cuts the bands
Of well oiled city political machinery,
because the politicians cannot control
the appointments The appointee Is
under no obligation to the politicians.
He has no debts to ray. either in dere-
LECTION OF his duty or in endeavors 10
elect or re-eIect politicians to office.
The result is that public servants
chosen because OF their merit render
efficient service TO the city.
Civil service Is the most democratic
method OF securing municipal employees
and officials. because il opens oopor-
tunity to al II discriminates only be-
tween fitness and unftness. II selects
the best man without regard TO his
valGe as a political worker. II requires
merit. but not facility Tor rounding up
the boys or handing out candidates
