unnecessarily worked up about this bill
and are exaggerating its dangers.
Now, what are the facts? There
ident. so far. in regard to the Civil
Service Commission. and that has
been the provision that of the three
commissioners who at present head
it up only two may belong to the same
party. 1t has been, in other words, q
bipartisan board, and under the terms
OF the law the President was re-
quired to keep it bipartisan. no mat
ter whom he might remove.
Drastic Reforms Needed.
We have been in urgent need for
years OF a drastic reform Of the civil
service. That Is conceded by every
student of our Federal Government.
One object of that reform should be
to provide for a very considerable
extension of the merit system and the
training of a continuing, absolutely
non political efficient personnel.
This was very clearly in the minds
OF the Presidents Committee on Ad-
ministrative Management. who wrote
the original report which was to
form the basis of legislation.
This committee-Louis Brownlow.
Charles E. Merriam and Luther Gulick
recommended that the present BIZ
partisan board OF three should be re-
placed by a single executive officer,
the Civil Service administrator, and q
non -salaried Civil Service Board of
seven members, all to be appointed by
the President. The board was to have
no administrative duties, but be charg-
ed with the protection and develop
ment of the merit system.
The committee justified this on the
basis that a single head would give
the Civil Service Administration the
unity. energy and responsibility inn
possible by a full-time board OF several
members"
Restrictions Recommended.
So far, so good. But in the original
recommendations the President was to
be restricted by definite rules govern
ing whom he should appoint The
traitor and the board. instead of being
bipartisan should be non-partisan.
Therefore. they recommended that the
administrator should be selected on "a
competitive. non-partisan basis by q
special examining board designated by
the Civil Service Board and should be
appointed by the President, with the
advice and consent of the Senate. from
the three highest candidates passing
the examination conducted to fill the
post"
In this manner" said the commit
tee. careful attention to the profess
sional and technical qualifications re-
quired by the Office and the merit prin-
ciples would be extended to the very
top of the Civil Service Administra-
ton. The President should be able to
remove the head of this managerial
agency at any time. but would be re-
quired to appoint his successor In the
manner stated above.

Prof. Raymond Pearl, noted Johns
