OHIO LAW IS PATTERN
Notice of Bill to Greatly Ex-
tend Civil Service Is
Given House.

Helena.-(Staff Correspondence -
Some measures which may we'll be
classed as important were among the
notices and bills introduced today in
the house and senate. One Of : the
measures which would seem to be of
Importance with regard to the gov
eminent of state, county and city is
Fl. r. 226 by Dodds, Flathead This
bill provides for civil service in all
departments of the state, county and
city government with but few excep-
tons. These exceptions are chief dep
uties and a few stenographers.
This measure is based on the Ohio
law said Representative Dodds, "and
think its measure which will work
for the best interests of our govern.
ment. We all know the waste OF time
there Is in the process of breaking in
new deputies with each administ,a-
ton. This law IL passed will increase
the efficiency of clerical help in state.
county and city government immeas-
urably. My bill provides for a civil
service commission consisting of the
governor attorney general, superin,
tendent of education and secretary OF
state. This board can appoint a chief
examiner. who will be in general
charge of the work over which this
board will have executive power"
Representative Stimpert has given
notice of another unfair competition
bill similar to the one killed in the
house last week. The penalty clause
which was one of the main objections
of the bill. has been moderated. it is
understood.
Representative Searles of Mineral
county gave notice of 4 bill effectually
putting the kibosh on nepotism. Uncles,
aunts, sisters and third cousins will
do an hegira from the state house il
the Searles bill carries. 1t was un-
derstood that this bill was aimed at
one of the Republican state officials,
but 1t will act in the nature of two
edged sword and many a deserving
democrats" relative will be looking for
another position.
Representative Mcmillan today no.
tced his bill amending the law gov
crning disorderly houses. Mr.. McMil-
/ lan's bill provides that it shall be UNI
lawful for any disorderly house to OPP
crate outside the city limits and in
this way Mr.; Mcmillan hopes to put
the matter up entirely to the cities
themselves.
Representative Holt, Cascade, has
noticed measure providing for COM
pulsory hail insurance on all agricul-
tural land. 1t is thought that this is
the bill favored by the farmers as the
failure of state hail insurance in other
states is laid to the fact that only the
districts where hail was exceedingly
prevalent insured their lands and as a
consequence the revenues of the de-
partWent Were not sufficient to pay
the losses.
