SPOILS SYSTEM IN VOGUE
IN STATE
Hirst Says Governor Blaine Has
Made the State Commissions
Political Bodies

"The present state administration
has reverted to the spoils system and
has disrupted the state civil service
commission" A. r. Hirst, candidate
for governor, charged in a
campaign speech at Spooner.
eve have all been proud of the
fact" Hirst said, "that for years un-
der Governors La Toilette, Davidson,
McGovern and Phillip, state service
has been lifted to a high plane and
placed on the merit basis. The pre-
sent administration has reverted to
the spoils system in every depart
ment, including the civil service COM
mission.
"In the first place the law has been
violated for the first time since its
adoption by having all three mem
bers of the commission of one pOliti
cal party. The next step was bill
in the legislature backed by the
governor, which sought to make the
commission a one-man body, the APP
pointment to be in the hands of the
governor.
Gwen in the old spoils system
days, the appointment spoils were
divided among the heads of eight or
ten departments. The present adj
ministration would go this one better
and put the spoils in the hands of
the governor through his appointee. "

WALSH BILL WOULD
: KILL SHIP BOARD.
Would Turn Merchant Fleet
Over to Department of
Commerce.

The United States Shipping Boar3
would be done away with and the
merchant fleet of the government
would be turned over to the Depart
ment of Commerce, though still re-
manning under the operation of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, by the
terms of bill introduced today by
Senator Walsh of Massachusetts,
democrat.
1t was Senator Walsh's original
plan to have the merchant fleet made
an auxiliary of the Navy. with new
assistant secretary of the Navy in
charge. But he reached the conclu-
sion that the Department of Com
merce vas the more proper DIVISION
to handle the merchant marine.
The bill creates Il bureau of mer-
chant marine" headed by a commits
sioner of merchant marine, in the De-
partment of Commerce. 1t retains the
present Fleet Corporation as the actual
operating agent, but authorizes the
elimination of the word emergency
from it's title. that the world may
realize that the American overseas
merchant fleet is Il permanent instl-
tuition
Explaining the provisions of his
BILL Senator Walsh said today:
The commissioner OF merchant
marine, under the direction and con-
vested with the power now possessed
by the board to investigate and regu-
late shipping.
Gives Power to Sell.
The power to sell and dispose of
the merchant fleet owned by. the
United States is also vested in the
commissioner of merchant marine.
The commissioner is directed to IN
vestigate the necessities and require
ments of the foreign and coastwlse
trade of the United States and to de-
termine what steamship lines should
be established for the purpose of pro-
noting, developing, expanding ana
maintaining the foreign and coast
wise trade of the United States.
1T provides for establishment OF
such lines under private ownership
and control if possible. and gives
preference for the purchase of veS-
sells for establishment of such lines
to citizens who have the support,
financial and otherwise, of the do
mestic communities of the Cnited d
States primarily Interested in their
establishment.
In the event private capital can
not be Interested, operation of the
lines is directed by the Emergency
Fleet Corporation. The object is to
insure an adequate and permanent
American merchant marine, owned
and operated by private capital, If
possible, otherwise to be operated di-
rectly by the government.
This bill permits officers of the
Navy to volunteer, subject to the ap-
Droval of the Secretary of the Navy,
for service on merchant vessels oper-
ated by the fleet corporation, and
makes provision for the training of
American born boys aboard govern
ment operated vessels as a means of
providing a constant supply OF Amer
lean citizens trained as officers of
merchant vessels.
The expense of maintaining this
naval reserve service is TO be defray-
ed from revenue derived from sale OF
ships by the Department of Com
merce.
"ProYis;on is made for making the
merchant marine and naval auxiliary
by transferring all vessels suited and
necessary for military and naval pur-
poses to the War and Navy depart
mentS in time of war or emergency
by order of the President
