Tivo h u n d r e d a nd iw e n ty thousand citizens of M i c h i g a n
huve signed petitions calling fo r the adoptio n of a sweeping
amendment to the C iv il Service laws of the Sta te w h ic h would
i^iooide f o r a n a i r t i g h t a d m in is t ra t io n of the m e rit system. Civ il
^e/oice was in a u g u ra t e d in M i c h i g a n iji 1937 following an e x l^dusiive study by a group headed by P r o f. James J. Pollock of
University o f M i c h i g a n . A C iv il Service la w w h ic h most ob^^loers considered a good one was voted on the basis of this
^^Uiiy, but most of its provisions were suspended or ignored when
Republicit7i a d m i n i s t r a t i o n came in to power. G o v e rn o r D i c k is hostile to Civ il Service a nd consequently its a d m i n i s t r a has languished In the last two years. A p p r o x im a t e ly tw o of the S ta te employees at present are not covered by Civ il
However, the same groups w hic h origin a lly advocated Civ il
^^loice hav e since been h a m m e r i n f f a w a y to get a n ir o n - c l a d p ro a m e n d m e n t added to the S ta te ’s C o ns titu tio n. Such an
^>'^endment w ill be voted on in th e general election Nov. 3. Its
l^^ssage is expected.
One o f the in te re s ting features of the a m e n d m e n t is t h a t it
