THE ANONYMOUS LETTER WRITER
BUSY.

The experience of members of the territorial
grand jury with anonymous communications
is familiar one to newspapers. Whenever
any important event looms up in the public
mind, It is the signal for flood of letters and
postal-cards to the papers, many of which. are
anonymous. If there is any sort of issue or
controversy involved, some of the letters are
sure to be abusive and meanly abusive at that,
since the anonymous letter-writer is usually a
coward
The discussion of the county jail scandal has
brought to the Star Bulletin, and presumably
also to the Advertiser, the usual unsigned and
nasty communications, which are promptly
dropped into the waste basket and forgotten.
1t appears that the jury's investigation Of the
county Jail conditions has made it the target
for the sllking letter writer who is afraid to
Sign his name. f5rtanately tracing such
Communications to the source is usually i'm
possible, but if the grand jury could do it in
this instance, it might rid the community of a
skunk or two.

EFFICIENCY, CIVIL SERVICE AND
POLITICS. 80

q
Boston, that city of conservatism and tradi-
tion, is not too old to take lessons, and Homo
lulu might bear In mind the movement in Bos-
ton now for civil service in city employ
bona fide civil service.
Former Governor George r. Carter, writing
from the Hub City to friend here, encloses
this extract from a Boston paper showing the
strides that another and younger city, Chicago,
has made in street work:
BY applying up-to-date civil service meth
DDS, Boston could spend millions for the repair
Of streets without increasing the taxes, accord
ing to r. HI. Dana, president of the National
Civil Service Reform Association. He cites
Chicago as an example. That city had very
poor streets, but under few years of civil
service efficiency millions had been saved to
the tax payers and the streets were put in good
condition
The civil service commission is given an
appropriation to employ efficiency engineers,
who examine the efficiency of all city employees
and recommend the dismissal of those who are
not up to the standard, in an effort to have city
business run on the same lines as any large
business concern. The engineers also measure
the efficiency of the men in groups and if the
4tOHp tdiiuIc 10 uOt Tic lduiJ VI Lie luultlOudlc
IN It, then they examine the efficiency of the
man in charge of the group. Work is stand
ardized and wages are paid according to the
standards in the great department stores, rail
roads and other concerns
1t would be almost a crime to raise Boston
taxes for street paving, when by little com
hon sense application of civil service efficiency
millions could be saved every year, Mr.. Dana
Says. s
The trouble now is that the men who de-
terrnine our policy of work and the men who do
the work are both in politics. The head of an
operating force is also the political adviser Of
the u ayor This is hard on the mayor himself,
# he wants to be honest with the taxpayers, and
It is certainly unjust to the taxpayers. Ny
point is this-4let the people elect the men who
are to say what work must, be done, but have
the men who do the1work, and who say how it
Is to be done, out of politics entirely, where
they can act as businessmen. There is not the
Slightest reason why Boston should not have
good streets and save instead of lose money at
the same time. The money can be saved out
Of the present payroll, where fully half of the
entire street appropriations goes into paying
men of whom large part are either inefficient
because they know they can be, or through the
iaxness of their superintendent, who know
what is good politics and what is not.
