THE DAY OF DECISION
THE ANNUAL eleclioii ol oiii,cei-3 and directors oi the
Civil Service Employees Association is important to every;
member. It provides tlie democratic control oi' tiie Associa­
tion by tlie members of the Association. It puts the oiticers
in their proper place as trustees of your interests to serve
only during your pleasure. The 'member is the real kingpin
of the organization. His dominant position is safeguarded
by the Constitution.
The Nominating Committee has selected a slate that gives
the members a ciioice between candidates for many Asso­
ciation ofhces and directorate. There will doubtless be a
greater area of choice, when the petitions are in.
W h y Y o u S h o u l d V o te
Why should you vote? There are many reasons, n y voting,
you help select the best possible leaders for the coming year.
You do more. You make it possible for your officers really to
speak for you in their conferences with Administration
leaders and legislators. There is all the difference in the
world in the power and potency of a President backed by
the actual vote of 46,000 public employee members and the
same President or any officer elected by a minority vote of
the members. If you want results from your Association, you
must join or renew your membership, you must vote, and
you must do y()ur part. You must take an active interests in
your chapter, in your conference, and in your Association.
You should vote because you owe it to yourself and to
your associates to vote out of office any persons who prove
incompetent or who betray their trust, and to vote into office
only persons you believe will be faithful, honest and efficient
servants of all the members of the Association.
I do not wish you to take my words as injplying that the
slate of the Nominating Committee is not above reproach.
I am gla(i to testify that in my opinion they are all high
on the eligible list. They all have, I think, ability, interest
in the Association, patriotism in both the large and the
lesser sense, the will to work with others for common ends,
tact, grasp of essentials in complex situations, the power to
follow the main issue in spite of false leads and detours,
the ability to give and to take without loss of equanimity,
leadership and ability to express themselves with some
clarity and occasional brevity. Like Lord Stanley’s Daughters
and their Pirate lovers, all of them are noble and all of them
are lovely candidates. What I urge is that you take your pick.
N e e d e d : A c t iv e P a r tic ip a n ts
Long experience has demonstrated the value of an Asso­
ciation that draws added strength from each of its members.
We receive many letters from people who think that they
buy certain benefits with their annual dues. What we need
is the realizati()n that the Association is a big team of men
and women united to win better things both for ourselves
and for.the others through constantly worlcing together with
understanding and enthusiasm. We do not want spectators.
We need active participants.

it is a moot question whether the practice has ever been
as widespread as it is today.
R is in g S p o ils S y s te m
In the case of the DPUI, the standard for job-seekers was
not “How competent are you to fill the position?” but,
brazenly, “Have you a letter from a political leader?” Un­
less the people of New York State awaken to the implica­
tions of the rising spoils system, they face a certain lowering
in the quality of public employment; they face a situation
where numbers of public employees are beholden to political
leaders rather than to the people who pay their salaries.
T tvo T y p e s o f P u b lic E m p l o y m e n t
We have two types of public employment in New York
State. The overwhelming number of public jobs is supposed
to be filled by the merit system, under the procedure in
which all who are qualified have an equal right to compete
and where the jobs go to the most fit. At the same time, a
limited number of jobs go to the political party in power.
Most — but not all — of these are policy-setting positions,
and are allocated to the party sa that the program on which
it has been elected may be carried out. That seems to be the
way in which our party system can best operate.
A b o u t S e c tio n 2 5
A special section was written into the Civil Service Law
— Section 25 — designed to eliminate political considera­
tions in appointment to public jobs. There is clear evidence
that this section has not been enforced 'as assiduously as it
should be.
Even now there seems to be a curious divergence of
ofiicial opinion as to what should be done in cases like that
of the DPUI political hirings. One official of the State Civil
Service Department told The LEADER; “Our only authority
is to set up minimum qualifications and to see that provisionals meet these qualifications. If they (officials of the
State Labor Department) nominate anybody for the job,
whether from a political clubhouse or from the gutter,
there is nothing we can do about it as long as the appointee
meets the qualifications. We don’t know how widespread the
practice of political appointments is, nor is it our job under
the law to look into this sort of thing.”
Another high-placed Civil Service Department function­
ary asserts, on the contrary, that “the State Commission has
law-enforcement duties, as witnessed by its constant in­
vestigations to see that local civil service jurisdictions
throughout the State hew to the line. Section 25 of the Civil
Service Law, which deals with the hiring of temporary as
well as permanent appointees, is quite explicit when it says
that “no appointment. . . shall be in any manner affected or
influenced by such (political) opinions or affiliations.”
^W atchdog* i s ISc e d e d
As one of the most important protections of the merit
system. Section 25 ought to be implemented by the addition
of a new “watchdog” unit within the Civil Service Depart­
ment for the purpose of helping enforce it; and a small
appropriation should be made to assure the vigorous en­
forcement of this law in all departments and in all locali­
ties supervised by the State Civil Service Commission.
W h a t C o rsi C an D o
State Industrial Commissioner Edward Corsi, in whose
department occurred the conditions described in the Times,
can perfbi'm a service to the public by taking two vital steps
immediately: fii’st, he should issue a directive to the per­
sonnel officials of his department, requiring full, unequivocal
enforcement of the law forbidding political appointments in
non-policy-making positions; second, he should have a study
made in his agency to determine how widespread such ap­
pointments are in the Labor Department.
The merit system is in a bitter struggle for its existence.
Men must line up and say where they stand, and what
they will do about it.

nuisance, an d h as a full sense of

Is a close second on all these
scores, b u t th e U. S. Civil Service
lags badly. I t Is u n h e a rd -o f to re ­

NYC give o u t th e eligible lists.
W hen a S ta te list comes out,
it’s in th e a p p o in tm e n t order, w ith
veteran preference effectuated, but
th e NYC lists are in th e order of
percentages only, so th a t one h as

U. S. E xam s Tops
T he F ederal Civil Service is far
and aw ay ah e ad of th e others in

T he S ta te probably deserves sec­
ond place, w ith NYC not too far
back, alth o u g h th e gap between
them and th e U, S. is tre m e n ­
dous. Seldom does one h ea r com ­

A nother good p oint for th e U. S.

necessary to proceed. T h u s civil
service ad m in istra tio n will vary,
as to quality, in th e different
regions, a n d m ethods will differ
even from those of th e ce n tral
