TOLMAN President, The Association of State Civil Service Employees WHY CIVIL SERVICE WORKS And Why It Doesn't Work Better GOVERNOR DEWEY In his address to the Association of S t a t e Civil Service Employees emphasized some of the reasons for Civil Service. He contrasted an early diseased form of Civil Service administration in New York City with t h e State service today. Ais a business, t h e Governor said Civil Service administration is better t h a n is most private administrations. The employees earned t h e i r jobs through competitive examinations. They are generally competent and proud of their skllL They know they can earn a d v a n c e m e n t , by Increasing their knowledge a n d skills and they a r e generally ambitious to advance. T h a t is all to the good. W h a t t h e S t a t e government chiefly lacks a t t h e highest levels, Paul Lockwood, Secretary to Governor Dewey; Kathleen Grace; A. J. Goodrich; Mrs. A. J.

Right O u r top executives are too busy with a multitude of details to find side of the table, Mrs. Charles D. Breitel; Charles D. Breitel, Counsel to the Governor; Charlotte t i m e f o r their real job—forward-looking planning. Perhaps t h e Morse and Mrs. Helen Anil. Association c a n help to make good their lack. I think t h e Governor is right on both counts. Civil Service h a s proven efficient wherever it is honest a n d universal. Civil Service fftils where it is dishonest and mixed with politics. POLITICS PLAYS I T S PART Tlie highest level of jobs represent generally an area outside competitive Civil Service. I n theory, they are either political a p p o i n t m e n t s or advisory, policy-making positions "which cannot satisfactorily be filled by Civil Service tests." T h e Association does not believe t h a t political appointments can be justified on any basis of efficiency, although they may be o f t e n expedient. I t knows t h a t politics play its p a r t in appointments to t h e lowest as well as the highest positions. It believes t h e best should serve the S t a t e in all positions. As a minimum, we believe in career men serving in all positions except elective and top policy-forming jobs. If creative planning is what we need, as the Governor states, I suggest t h a t the answer is Civil Service for all executive a n d a d m i n istrative positions except elective officers. By this I do not m e a n to Left (front to back), James Leslie, Ercella M. Schilling, Leon Corbett, Nettie Corbett, all of Pilgrim limit the prerogative of t h e Governor.

T h e m a k i n g of final decisions is t h e highest prerogative of t h e executive. IThis cannot properly be delegated to subordinates or to deputies. But If t h e spade work of research is a t h a n d , imaginative interpretation of t h e facts and constructive planning f o r t h e greater welfare of all fche people is possible, even f r o m busy executives. TESTING F O R POSITIONS So I suggest for the top positions, a type of testing and proving possible candidates entirely a p a r t f r o m political consideration. W h y not appoint f r o m the staff of the department, if t h e best m a n is to be found there, as is often true? B o t h Governor Dewey find Governor Lehman have done this on occasions. I n case of doubt, why not make a provisional or temporary "acting" appointment? W h y n o t have eligible Msts of competent m e n of b o t h political f a i t h s and of none instead of recommendations of p a r t y bosses? W h y not have informal oral examinations to determine t h e best possible candidate? And why not pay top executives salaries high enough to a t t r a c t unusual ability a n d integrity to t h e highest positions of trust in the State, t h a t is, to the policy-forming positions, where t h e f u t u r e welfare of t h e people will be largely determined? Yes, Governor, we can have constructive imaginative s t a t e s m a n ship if we really want it, b o t h a t the top level a n d all the way down.

Of Mr. Fisher t h e Governor said t h a t he h a d won "a respect and affection rare in my own experience" a n d described his own tribute to Mr. Fisher as "rich, m e a n ingly and grateful." " I have a wholesome respect for the kind of people you elect as C L I F F O R D C. SHORO president," the Governor said em-1 phatically. T h e two other praised were Mary Goode Ki'one, Chairman of the S t a t e Personnel Council, and William F. McDonough, Field Rep>esentative of t h e State Association.

His presentation was given as a general plan for consideration in the f u t u r e . He agreed t h e resolution should be tabled meanwhile. Another interesitng analysis was offered by Jesse MacParland, who headed a committee on t h e subject. He pointed out some of t h e difficulties t h a t m a y arise with such a plan, considering t h e m a t ter from- geographic, economic a n d political viewpoints. Mi'.

The Governor lauded t h e rem a r k s of Mr. McDonough about t h e necessity of public employees being represented by groups of their own choosing, staffed by officers of their own selection, instead of allying themselves with outside organizations.

At least 300,000 aztd perhaps two-thirds ot the 470,000 n o n school State employees received salary adjustments during the war period, according t o a survey undertaken by t h e Civil Service Assembly and the Ctnincll ot State Governments. Of 56 States which had reported by Dec. 1, 1945, 40 indicated that at least one general increase for employees h a d been efEected since Jan. 1, 1940. Of the 4 States reporting no general wartime i n crease, one State. Rhode Island, did i n effect increase salaries through t h e adoption of a new pay plan which began Feb. 16, 1942, a n d which reflected i n creased living costs up t o that period. Of 38 States which reported on t h e groups or classes of employees receiving p a y adjustments, 19 reported that all, a n d 9 reported that substantially all State e m ployees h a d received increases. Ten States h a d reported increases for only part of the total number of employees. I n I I States, groups In the lower salary or wage bracket received the largest percentage of wage increases a n d pay adjustments were made earlier for this group than for t h e higher salaried employees. Various Methods Used Pay increases were directed by legislative action In 17 States. I n 13 States adjustments were made through administrative action, usually by direction of the governor, state personnel board or budget officer. S i x States reported pay adjustments both by legislative and administrative action. A variety of methods were used in the administration of pay a d justments in the States. Of 33 States reporting o n the types of pay increases, 3 States declared that flat dollar amounts had been added to all salaries. T e n i n dicated that increases were made on the basis of graduated dollsur amounts. I n 12 States adjustments were made on a percentage basis, a n d in 9 States a combination of the above methods was used. Twenty States using percentage increases or combination methods of salary adjustments reported from 5 to 15 per cent increases In salaries. Increases above 15 per cent for t h e lower-paid employees were reported in 4 States, 18 per cent being provided in one State, 20 per cent i n 3 States, a n d 25 per cent in one State. A c o m parison of t h e reports of the 44 States suggests that in most cases pay adjustments did not exceed 15 per cent of salaries as they existed o n Jan. 1, 1940.—^Elram "State Qovemment."
