Is the great civil service reform in augurated years ago by the Federal Government due for the dis card and the old spoils system reinstated? The recent wholesale decapitation of state employes, without cause and without a hear ing, would indicate that the trend is in that direction—that we are taking our first step backward in this regard. New reforms and political policies are frequently tried out in Oregon first, and the present local situation may portend far reaching effects national ly- After many years of the spoils system the Federal Govern ment reached the sane determination that it costs considerable money to educate employes to the point that they become effici ent in handling the public business, and that such'investment was being wasted through the constant upheaval with the change of administrations. Far sighted men then caused Congress to adopt the principle of a continuation of employment for Government employes during good behavior, with proper provision for the ousting of inefficient workers through the filing of charges, giv ing the accused ample opportunity to be heard. The Civil Service law thus came into being, and it has been strengthened and its scope enlarged as the years passed until now the greater portion of all Federal civil employes are covered by the law7 and its opera tion. The result has been that the great investment in the educa tion of employes has been safeguarded, and that employes know their services will be retained as long as they are efficient and during good behavior, with nothing to fear from political changes.
