T PAGE EIGHT HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON Fobrunry 20, 1948 Merit System . Bil nterest of Leag Local Organization Supports . Measure Also Giv . en Approval by State Representative , ' Loula Craver, state representative from Klamath county, Is one of the sponsors of the merit system bill, one of the projects of the Oregon League of Women Voters, in which the local league has taken keen Interest, according to Mrs. Everett Dennis, president of the Klamath league. House bill. No. 177, embodying the merit system, was first read before, the house of representatives January twenty-sixth, and is now in the . hands of : the judiciary committee of the house, . The League of Women Vot ers is urging interested citi- zens, ' outside the league, as well as its own members, to write to members of the ju diciary committee asking their support and urging a fa vorable report on the merit system bill, Eugene Marsh is chairman of the group. Let ters are also being sent to Representative Henry Semon and Craver. Along the same line, the National League of Women Voters has decried the Mc Kellar bill in the national legislature which requires senate confirmation of all government positions carrying a salary of more than $4500 as the "most brazen patron age raid since the civil serv ice' act was passed 60 years ago." This bill is now pend ing before the senate judici ary committee. Pointing out that many thousands of positions in Washington and throughout the country would be affect ed. Miss Marguerite M. Wells, national league president, de clared the McKellar proposal would "wreck" the entire civ il service system. . ' She explained that under - the terms of the measure: f "Government employees Who have given a lifetime of service to their government , in technical and scientific, as well as. administrative post ' tions, would have to cultivate the favor of senators to keep . their jobs after June 30, 1943. ""No new or present employ ees could be hired in their : positions who are not 'cleared' by their senators, who have not been reviewed by a con gressional committee, and ap proved by a majority of the j senate." , . ; Asserting that congress can ' ' not be both legislator and administrator, Miss Wells said: "If the senate takes the time to investigate each one of the thousands to be affect ed by the McKellar bill care- fully, there will be no time to legislate. If it only relies on the recommendations of the .senators from the state where the applicant resides then there can be no purpose other than politics for the move. The principal function of con gress is the making of laws. It has plenty of tough legis lative decisions to make, and soon." - Chances ' for success of house bill No. 177, merit sys tem, in the Oregon legisla ture will be greatly lessened if the federal government sets such a bad example for states " as it would if the McKellar bill should become a law. Mrs. Dennis, president of the Klamath League of Women Voters, suggests that voters write to Senators Charles L. McNary and Rufus C. Hol man, address U. S. Senate, Senate Office Building, Wash ington, D. C, asking that they do all in their power to de feat this bill. ..
