STATE
LEGISLATURE
MACHINE MEASURE CLIPPED

By the adoption Of substitute,
the senate Monday checked the re-
organization of the state civil service,
inflated in the assembly by passage
of the Dahl bill. The bill, as it
reached the senate, abolished the
present civil service board and created
a new board comprising single conn
missioner and two advisory conn
missions.
The bill was regarded as part OF
the political program of Gov. Blaine.
The Senate State Affairs committee
overturned the whole scheme by rec
ommending a substitute which merely
fixes the salary of the present exam
iner at $1,000 The adoption OF this
substitute kills all the reorganization
features.
The reorganization failed to develop
any strength in the senate, and ap-
parently it had few friends. The sub
stitute was adopted practically with
out discussion. 1t is probable that
when the amended bill goes back to
the assembly it will be killed and that
will terminate the entire reorganiza-
ton episode.
Back of the adoption of the substi-
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1923-05-24

tute amendment is the desire of GER
tain senator's to check what was re-
garded as political activities within
the civil service commission itself.
Just before the late John Hardwood
resigned as chief examiner his salary
was $4,000. 1t is said tina. Mr.. Hazel
wood was not wanted by the Blaine
appointees on the commission and the
salary was reduced to $4,000. He re-
signed, and Robert Sharp, Blaine
choice, succeeded him and it is said
that almost Immediately the salary
was restored to it's former figure. The
substitute fixes the salary at $4,000,
and no future commission may bring
about retirements by REIMBURSEMENT.
