Bajiks, Dunne and Staples and Representatives Lonergan, . Bailey, Bronaugh,' Meindl, Kuehn, Olson' and McCourt, of the &Iultnomah county 'delegation ' : ' ' ' " , A bill to place under civil service l rules the appointed employees of counties with a population of 150,000 or more, which would or the present affect only Multnomah county, butf would -before many years include Marion county, ; and other -Oregon counties. " - It is proposed that the act shaU take effect on the first day of . July next. ? ,There are two sides to the question of the civil service. In theofitlslairtoilie iod It is designed to give effici : ency in the public service, by requiring examinations as to qualifications, and;by assuring appointees tenure of office during good behavior and proper performance of their duties; relieving; them of the danger of dismissal at the: whim of appointing officials, or through political changes. J The other side of the shield is the danger of building up a sort of autocracy of job holders, under a sense of security of tenure ;ving the narrow man or woman a kind of aloofness; as much as to say "the public be damned." ; . . - -".i., , Howe ver," this danger does not exist as to the vast major , ity of the ef f icientmen and women in this country under the . protection of the civil service rules , j ..' i And the advantages of the system far outweigh the draw . backs, in improvinglhe work performed, the consideration of ' the rights arid feelings "of the public served, and in the well being and-general morale of the public servants. .
