olvlL-sERvIcE COMMISSION
New Membership and the Law Under
Which IL Must Work

What today is uppermost in the
minds of reformers and economists is
whether reorganization of the federal
civil-service commission will supply
the shortcomings of the law. Com
missioner McIlhenny, elevated by Mr..
Wilson to the craftsmanship, is a
Roosevelt adherent. They were
rough riders together Appointed by
his friend, Mr.. Roosevelt, he was re-
tanned in office by Mr.. Taft. His
long experience should aid him great
ly in the performance of his new and
more responsible duties. The new
commissioners are Mr.. Wales, a stur-
dy Vermont republican. for many
years the efficient chief examiner of
the civil service, and Mr.. Galloway. a
southerner and democrat, who en-
joys an extensive acquaintance among
the senator's.
The president has ignored the re-
quest of the national civil-service as
ISOLATION, that one of their own ofici-
ais be given a place on the federal
commission. Our belief is that the
new commission will not have a free
hand until the ciyil-service law is
changed to clothe the board with au-
thority to do more than prepare and
pass upon examination papers and in
vesigate violations. Congress has
continued TO be lenient toward the &C
tive participation in politics of thou
sands of government employees in
the classified service. Their benefit
associations ought not to .e permit.
ted to become powerful political weap
ons with which TO compel Congress to
do all that which has been tried late
ly. Permanent tenure of office and eff
ficiency, which alone are the corner
stone of any civil service, will be
swept away unless in return for that
protection employees under penalty
are made to refrain from active parti-
cipation in political campaigns and
from lobbying for salary increases.
The civil-service law should be so
| amended as to make IL the duty OF
the commissioners to recommend
changes with respect to conditions un
der which government employees work
and the terms upon which they may
be retired after years OF faithful serv-
ice. The board also ought to be Civ

dismissal of any employee pernicious-
ly active in politics.

TROLLY BILL GOES

At BOSTON
Enabling New Haven to Control
Electric Roads
BY BIG VOTE OF 80 TO z
Advocates of Measure Believe They
Can Pass it Over Veto of
Governor.

Boston, June THE Massachus-
etts Senate yesterday passed the
trolley merger bill, permitting the
New Haven railroad to control the
Worcester, Springfield and Berk-
shire systems, by a vote of so to 2,
one of the nay votes being on pair.
Advocates of the measure believe
that this strength insures the enact
ment of the bill even if Gov. Foss
should veto it, as he did last year,
for the support of the bill in the SEN
ate yesterday was much stronger
than it was last year, when the vote
was % to 8 before the veto and %
to 16 after it. That Gov. Foss will
veto the bill is not considered at all
certain.

At the regular meeting Of the South
Side Improvement association last
night. the proposition of having a net
work of street car lines constructed
in the southern part of the city was
discussed and a committee appointed
to take up the project with the officials
of the T. H. l. & E. traction company.
The rapid growth of the southern
part of the city as well as that part
known as Beallview south of the cor
poration line will make necessary
that street car line be constructed
there and at the meeting last night
the first steps toward procuring the
improvement were taken. The COM
mittee which will take up the matter
with the traction officials is composed
of Hans Kohl, B. A, Kennepohl, A. w.
Blickwedel and Cash Beal.
| The proposed line will extend as far
south as NJ street which is barely
outside the corporation line, South
Thirteenth is the only street which
extends as far as NJ street and it is
proposed that the line shall be eX-
tended east on NJ to Thirteenth, north
On Thirteenth street to E, east on f

General Manager Jefrries of the T.
H. I. & E. company, which operates
all lines in this city, visited Richmond
several, months ago for the purpose
of viewing the route proposed by the
Commercial club directors, through
the southern part of the city. Mr..
Jeffries at that time seemed favorable
| toward the proposed extension though
| he told the club committee there was
! little chance of procuring the line pro-
posed to extend north through Spring
Grove to the Reid Memorial hospital
The line proposed by the Com.
mercial club was similar to the route
proposed by the South Side associa.
south as far as I street. The associa-
! ton believes If the line were placed
on M street all the patrons of the
! street line would be accommodated
and it would be much better paying
proposition to the company.
The proposed line will open up a
new territory to home builders and
will accommodate the crowds who at.

(National News Association


WASHINGTON, March 19.-With
the democratic administration in
Office just half a month today and i'm
patient Office seekers pestering sena-
tors and representatives for jobs.
Democrats in in both the house and
problem confronting them was the
patronage question.
Every democratic congressman s
Office is visited daily by dozen job
seekers and the strain on the law
makers is getting heavy. Some in des-
peration are leaving the city, not to
return until congress convenes.
Among the democratics delegations
from Ohio and Indiana where substan-
tial pluralities were rolled up for
Woodrow Wilson, the situation is get
ting acute. Senators are being berat-
ed by the local political leaders for
their inability to turn out all repub-
lican officeholders.
Great pressure is being brought on
Postmaster-General Burleson to turn
out of Office 10000 fourth-class post
masters. If this be done it is said the
democratic patronage situation will be
relieved greatly. Democratic con-
gressnen from the west and south are
incurring indemnity daily they de-
clare from officeseekers in their dis
tricts which they fear will kill their
chances of denomination. For this
reason they are using every influence
to have the administration bury ap-
pointments and save them from de-
feat.

NEW YORK. March 19-That Alex
Schinas, the assassin of King George
of Greece is not half-witted. obscure
man, as dispatches from Athens and
Salonika state, but is well educated
and was once a candidate for the
Greek chamber of deputies was the
statement made today by Debetrius
Batassi, Greek consul In this city.
81 have just met a man who was
formerly personally acquainted with
Scinas," said the consul THE man is
poor misguided creature and is .
rabid anarchist. He is not an ignorant
man no matter what his appearance
may be. This man Schinas picked up
his anarchistic doctrines in another
European country as anarchists in
Greece are almost unknown Several
years ago Schinas opened a school in
a small Grecian town. The authorities
learned that he was teaching the
creed of anarchy and his school was
closed Six months ago he was a can
didate for election to the chamber of
deputies but was defeated and his de-
feat weighed heavily on his mind. AS
a result of his brooding he probably
went insane.

ing Discussed This
Afternoon.

Says That Few Teachers
Could Take Advantage
of Law Now.
.SuPT. MOTIFS OPINION

A joint meeting of the school board
and the pricipals of the various
schools of the city was held at the
Starr school this afternoon at which
time the Teachers Pension law was
taken up.
The members of the board are dis
satisfied with the provisions of the bill
which will necessitate that five-sev-
enths of the pension fund be paid by
the tax payers of the city. 1t is the
unanimous opinion of the board that
the teachers should pay the greater
portion of the fund.
The teachers take the stand that
they are entitled to the pension as
provided for in the new law and de-
mand that the board accept.
Supt. T. A. Mott believes the board
should accept it and create a harmo-
NOUS spirit among the teachers of the
city schools.
THE plan is being accepted at Terre
Haute and Evansville and will be TAX
en- up by other cities in the state
said Mr.. Mott. ut is not impractical
and is merely the same as giving
teachers an increase in their salary
to which they are entitled. There are
only from 10 to Is teachers who could
be pensioned. having taught more than
thirty years and there is not more
than 2 or who would want to be
pensioned.
THE teachers want the law carried
out here but are desirous of having 1t
done so in a harmonious way. If the
law is unsatisfactory they will be rea-
sonable and permit the board to waive
it, until amended to the satisfaction
of the board
Attorney Gardner who has been en-
ployed by the school board to 60 over
the provisions of the bill stated il
was not necessary to have it accept
ed or refused by Saturday but could
be acted upon at any time.
