The twenty fifth annual report of the civil service t orn mission is or especial interest, con taining: aa It does a resume of the com mission's work during the first quarter of a century of its existence, together with a mure detailed statement of the v change brouelit about durlntr Tesl dent Roosevelt's terms of office. The report shows that since its cstabllsh- : men t in 1J the rowth of the merit . system has been continuous, and appre ciation of Its advantages over the pat ronage system which preceded it, has become practically universal. Both pol- ' Kical parties unite in their platforms to indorse the principles of the system - and the workings of the civil service law, and the commission enjoys the support and sympathy of administrative officers and the federal courts, In this connection It is interesting to note that six states and nearly 100 cities of the : country have adopted competitive sys tems, for civil appointments. As the report says: "The end of a quarter century of en forcement finds the system firmly es tablished and faithfully supported. It f- is justified as a practicable method "f obtaining economy and efficiency In the service, and as a remedy for many abuses. . a One item of Interest brought out by the report is the astonishing Increase during the fiscal year ended June 80, 1908, in the number of applicants for civil service examination, over the fig ures for the preceding year, there hav 4ng been, In round numbers, 167,000 such applicants in 1908 as compared with y 2 in 1807; while application for the regular spring examinations for de partmental service showed an even greater increase, amounting to the total of 82 per cent This increase in the number of persons desiring to enter the government service may doubtless be attributed to the financial depression throughout the country during the great er part of the year and the large num ber of persons thrown out of employ ment - In the matter of appointments It is shown that during the fiscal year last past more than 41,000 persona were ap pointed through competitive - examina tion. .; . . L-.: Twelve Thoaan & Positions Added. - The report also brings out thC fact that during the last fiscal year more than 13,000 positions In tha government service were added to the number sub ject to eompetltive examination under the civil service rules: these figures be ing exclusive of , the, large number ef fourth class postmasters recently brought into the competitive . class, by executive order..' This increase waa duo to a great extent to new work and to transfers of unclassified and excepted positions to the competitive class, this fact being emphasised by official re ports from the . various -.. departments showing large increases in the work of oiiices without corresponam vo tne rorce or em L'VJ"iZt-t-Z " ...r rent" z such room erable number of persons into the class- elTU Serrica Reform, ified service. - The report concludes with a resume The report, calls attention to the im- of the progress of civil service reform provements brought about by various under President Roosevelt. Here the menamenta to the rules. Including the liact is brought out that the number of ointments to i positions subject to competitive exam ination has nearly doubled since SeDtem- "If a bridge Is to be built for th accommodation of the people, let it be at Rrnndwsv Thus W. P. Olds, of Olds. Wortman & King, presents ma views regarding the different sites pro posed for the construction of a new brldare over th Willamette river. Mr. Olds explains that he Is not informed as to the different factors entering Into the engineering problem of building bridges, or the attitude in which the traction companies would re ceive the Broadway plan, but should the Broadway site , be feasible he Is an advocate of It. "The center of population on the east side is rapidly moving north, and I think some provision should be made for transportation to and from the northeast side and the west aide, de clares Mr. Olds. "Should1 the Burnstde and Morrison street bridges be capable of handling the traffio there would be little reason for such a or dsre as la auacrested bv r. c. Swigert for Glisan street. North end residents would lose but little more time and be put to only a little more Incon venience if it were necessary for them o cross on either the Burnslde or Mor rison street -bridges. For them these two bridges are but little more dis tant than would be the Glisan street structure. "The Broadway bridge would be of Incalculable benefit to the north end. and It would also tend to bring the residents of that district nearer socially and commercially to those of the west side. - "Again, failure to erect a bridge communicating with the north end will mean a great loss to the merchants of the west side. Before many years the center of population on the east side will have moved so far north that, with out such means of communication, it would be dlfficutt for them to transact business In the west aide. This would mean the establishment of a business district on the north end that would compete with perhaps serious effect with west side business.. "I am not In favor of a bridge at Hancock street, a location advocated by some Albina residents. A structure some distance either north or south of that street would afford better accom modations." Mr. Olds thinks the subway plan "a dream." "Tunnels will perhaps b ulti mately necessary for team, railway and traction lines, but at present It is not to be seriously considered," he says. rancls I. McKenna, a real estate dealer, who owns larae bloclcs of prop erty On the lower npnlnnnlfL hoRtrie other owners, believe firmly in the sub way, xi, nowever, sucn is not practi cable at present he favors any means for further facilitating transportation across the river. y "Now as to the bridge proposed at Gliean street, I am not fully enough ln- jonneu, mr. Aicnenna nam, to give an intelligent answer; but I do think it would be better business proposition iur ma city u. penn o,uuu,UVU or In. 000,000 for the construction of a sub way, than ito pay nearly $2,000,000 for a urioge. However, as to tha lor A Hon nf Driages, ir one structure at the Gllsan- uregon street site can be made to ac commodate tha steam railways, street cars and other travel I shall be decided ly in favor of the combination bridge. l am opposed to building two struc tures together. "But the residents of fhe peninsula r out nine concerned aoout tne loca lion or tne structures, it la not ma terial to them whether thev cross st Hancock, Broadway, Ulisan or Burnslde streets. It is not of any Importance to them whether they come up on the east or- the west side of the river. "What is of greater lmDOrtancs to residents of the peninsula Is the ob structing of our harbor. The life blood of the city la the harbor. Damage to the upper harbor might temporarily benefit the lower harbor or waterfront around the peninsula, but the people of that region are too broad to assist In tearing down one part of the city for the purpose of bringing temporary bene fits to themselves. "I am a strong advocate of the sub way plan, and in a tunnel see the only possible solution of the problem of pro viding proper connection with the east and- west sides. Every bridge built ob structs the harbor and we cannot af ford to destroy the city s most valuable assnt. And for the reason that I onnose cluttering up the harbor with a number of bridges, the plan to build two bridges, a railroad structure and a city roadway, side by side but upon the same piers at Glisan street, finds little favor witn me. am i nave stated, tne sue would be aa satisfactory to the people of the peninsula as any proposed, but we cannot see tne necessity or building two bridges side by side when one will serve." P. L. Willis, a leading lawyer, who la a large holder of property on the east side of the river. Is a subway-ad vacate. Next to the underground route the Glisan street bridge project appeals to him as the most feasible presented. VI am firmly of the belief that the puuamg or a subway la the only solu tion of the east side traffio problem," Mr. Willis asserts, "but if we may- not " ' x oeueve a Driage witn a west ern approach on Glisan street will best answer. I have not examined the pro posal carefully and am chary, about making a definite statement. "The plan of cutting a tunnel under the river has long appealed to me aa a means or aoing away with most of the troublesome bridges and at the same time providing better transportation fa cilities across or I might, say, unirer the river. - It has satisfactorily solved the problem in a lartre numher of cities and I see no reason for lta failure here. "Possibly, as has been said, a sub way would be of no esDeclal value ex cept for trains and streetcars. It may be said tnat pedestrians could rarely be Induced to travel its irlonmv lenrth. and that teamsters and automobllists would UHtialv prefer the delava on tha bridges to a dark Passage through th tunnel. But, conceding these facts, would not it be a great advantage to take the trains and streetcars from ntf the bridges? Statisticians say that more than 80 per cent of the people who cross the bridges dally, ride on the streetcars. Perhaps we might dlsnensn with a bridge or two, then, if there; were only pedestrians teams and auto-j mobiles to cross It. "As I understand it a great manv persons are frightened by the amount of money it would take to build a sub way. Many say- it would be extremelv , difficult to secure enough, I am, how ever, of a different belief. There would be no great trouble experienced in rais ing $5,O0O,uO. or twhaps $6,000,000, for the building of what will undoiihtcrfl v be necessary before many years elapse. ana wiiai wouia even now De a great boon. "I do not particularly favor the nlnn to build a bascule bridge at Broadway, for the reason that I am of the opinion that there should be no obstructions In the river below the present steel bridge. The harbor is too valuable to the city of Portland to be filled with obstructions." FREM BILLS KANSAS Sunflower State .'Keeps Up Its Imputation for ,the Limit in Legislation Topeka, Kas., Jan. 8. Members of the Kansas legislature, which will convene in regular session one week from today, are. preparing some freak -measures to occupy the time,- of that body during the next few months. Reformers with hob bles promise to be much in evidence, though there '. Is grave doubt- as to whether very many of their net meas ures win ever aaorn tne statute dooks. Among the measures to be .-proposed will be one to regulate the price of meals on dining- cars. Another bill will propose the establishment of . a free state dormitory Tor the accommodation of members of the legislature. - Sena tor Anson Cooke of .Mitchell county wants a law that will enable people to know to a certainty that a person is dead .' before they bury him. Another member has framed a bill making It a prison offense for a man to treat an other to anything whatever while run ning for office. Representative Har baugh-will introduce a bill to conrnel people to brand their chickens as they do their cattle aus a means -of nroteetlon against thieves. While these and many other freak bills probably will be Introduced there will also be many measures of a more substantia character that will be con aldered and acted upon during the ses sion. A state bank rinnnstt guaranty law will receive attention, and aa both parties are pledared to enact auch a law it is probable tbat It will go through in some form or another. Ktata nuVill- cation of school text books is proposed, and there are also some amendments to tne tax law prosnised. The election of a United States sen ator will attract Tittle attention, as the choice of Joseph Im Bristow to succeed Chester I. Long was made certain by the result of the primary last fall. 'ioirr OX PRIMARY CHOICE IN ILLINOIS Springfield. 111.. Jan. B. A maloritv'nf the members of the Illinois areneral as. sembly have arrived in the city In an ticipation .of the Opening of the forty sixth session of that body tomorrow. Governor Deneen has completed his mes sage in readiness for presentation to the legislature aa soon as it convenes. The message is looked forward to with more than ordinary interest. The gov ernor,' it is said, wjll make numerous recommendations, especially In" respept to the management of the state institu tions, which have come in for: much criticism during the past year. Deep waterways is another important subject wmcn win receive : considerable atten tion in the message. Interest in the early days of the ses sion will center in the election of a United States senator to succeed Al bert jr. Hopttins. In the August primar ies . Senator Hopkins was indorsed for reelection by a majority vote.

In another section of the report atten tion is again directed to the deplorable lack of facilities for carrying on its work, under which the commission la bors.

Concerning the last. Colonel Goethals, chairman and chief engineer, reports: "I have endeavored to observe all civil service rules inlso far as they ap ply to position in the service of the commission, andtfrom time to time have impressed upon subordinate officials the importance and necessity of the pol icy. It is believed that in the last year there have been few, if any, Irregular appointments." Abases Are Bestrioted. Even in the midst of the presidential campaign much has been gained, dur ing the year, in restricting abuses aris ing from partisan activity of officehold ers. The commission now possesses Ju risdiction over cases involving employes In the competitive service, and its 'in vestigation of several cases of Improper political activity and the collecting of political assessments resulted In re movals both by the president and by the heads of departments. The penalties im posed had a widely deterrent effect and the commission reports that violations of the rules became noticeably less both in number and in degree, as the' cam paign progressed. New regulations governing promotions, and transfers in the customs service at I the larger ports have been adopted which it is confidently believed will re sult in a higher degr.-e of efficiency, and some slight modifications in the labor regulations, which expfrienoe had shown to be desirable, have also been adopted ' The report shows that the passage of the new salary law has operated bene ficially as regards the securing of dib bles in first and second class pontof flceS, especially in the south and west and has checked the alarming increase in the rate of reslgnai ion from tit po--talurrvlce.

The more important extensions of the merit system during the present admin istration include the classification of the rural carrier service, the federal service in the Philippines, the Isthmian canal service and the forest service. The creation of new bureaus, the exten sion of government activity to new fields, and the closer supervision and in spection found necessary for the proper enforcement of the law, have necessi tated large Increases in the classified branches, while at the same time the powers and responsibility of the com mission have been greatly extended. Most of the Increases may be attributed to growth, the number of rural carriers for instance having advanced from 6000 In 1901 to over 39,000 in 1908. Many and Important improvements have also been effected during the period-by numerous amendments to the rules and regulations, In order to carry out more effectually the provisions of the civil service act. The more Import ant or these amendments effected by the president are enumerated In the report.
