LAWYER LECTURES
ON CIVIL SERVICE
Charles Wesley Reed Declares
Republicans Must Give
State New Law
Speaker Goes Into Deep Discus
sion of the Abuse and Weak
ness of Present System"
BERKELEY. Jan. 30.—"A Civil Serv
ice Law for California" was the sec
ond subject discussed in the series of
lectures by prominent Californians,
given at the University of California
under the auspices of the League, of
the Republic and the department -of
political science. The lecture was
-given this afternoon by Charles Wes
ley Reed, the attorney and former su
pervisor of San Francisco. : ?
Reed declared that California Is
pledged to a civil service law through
the republican party, now having fi**'.l
control of the state administration. X '?•?
"The party is pledged in Its plat
form to a civil service law," said Reed,
"but has done nothing as yet to trans
late its pledge Into reality. „.. It is,
therefore,' incumbent on the next ses
sion of the legislature to carry out
the promises made to the people. ' *
"Civil service succeeds because it
works well; it has justified itself. In
the natural course of events it will
spread until all political places in the
nation, state and city will be occupied
by the new system.
DESCRIBES ITS WEAKNESSES
Reed went into a discussion of the
abuse and weaknesses of civil service
reform," so that, as he said, "in its
adoption in California, its question
able features may be avoided.
"Civil service reform makes its way
always in the teeth of opposition from
those having the appointing power,'*
he continued. "They devise every ex
pedient that their brains can concoct
to destroy civil service, . and then, In
delighted contemplation of their own
handiwork, they say civil service re
form is a joke. A really good officer.
Intent on getting the best| possible
staff, can generally do better work
than a strictly service office. Civil
service men having been appointed for
life, have no particular. incentive to
work and often 'soldier.* It. is inevit
able that some incompetent, some bad
and some temperamentally impossible
men should be certified, and it is very
hard to get charges brought against
them for removal. However much? the
appointing officer may rail against civil
service, he does not want to take the
bread out of ; a man's ; mouth7by caus
ing his removal. ■:, - :-*?'*?• ?
"In the process of time old age; palsies
the hand and deadens the faculties of
the civil service employe. His salary
is smalL If he has a family, and most
of them have, it is impossible for him
to save. Pensions are not provided.
Sympathy, a .sense of justice and of
mercy prevents the removal of the old
men. The service gets worse,with the
passing of time. Old age is, therefore,
a serious problem in any scheme of
civil service reform. ?•
LAWS BASIC PRINCIPALS
'What are the basic principles of the
new civil service law? The selecting
power should be absolutely taken away
from the appointing officer. Removal
for '. cause 5 by the appointing power
should be made comparatively easy,
with the veto on unjust removals by
the civil service commission. To make
the civil service law respectable, the
civil service commission must be a re
spectable power. Even with observ
ance of these principles, the civil serv
ice reform will go to pieces on the
rocks of classification if care is not
exercised. Classification looks easy, but
most of the difficulties met with are
due to .foolish classifications or to
classifications made by hostile ' com
missions for?the . purpose of defeating
civil service reform. ..Between the folly
of the well meaning commissions and
the malice of the evil disposed commis
sions, . classification has all but de
troyed civil service reform in San Fran
cisco.
"Classification must be according to
duties. If all the employes having sim
ilar duties are J put Into - one class, and
a list of ellgibies to fill all positions in
that class is made -up from the results
of open, free and competitive examina
tions, the first requirement of an ef
ficient and. workable system will.be at
tained. All positions requiring peculiar
skill or? responsibility should be filled
by promotional examination from the
common or lower grade, thus securing
to the lower grades the rewards of
efficiency and promoting ambition.".*? 7

'GEKS ARE ALWAYS
GEKS,' SAYS OGDEN
Student Argues That the Good
Enuff Klub Was Not a
Secret Society
OAKLAND, Jan. Once a Gek, al
ways a Gek." This ,was the, slogan of
the embattled Gamma Eta Kappa high
school fraternity in Judge Arnot's court
today, the second day devoted to Frank
M. Ogden's efforts to force his rein
statement as a pupil of the Oakland
high school.? "-
. Legislators may thunder and school
boards ordain, but a "Gek" can not be
changed any more than can the skin
of • the Aethiope or the ; spots of the
leopard. Whatever the I mystery of .the
"Gek" ordinances the effect is everlast
ing. ? After initiation as a "Gek" one
Is never the same. This was the tes
timony by Clinton Worden, one of , the
high school, students expelled -j for * his
profraternity leanings, who was called
as a witness In I young Ogden's cause.
Worden testified in relation to the
"Gek" fraternity? to the Good Enuff
klub, formed after the banishment- of
frats" from 7 the high ; schools. ?• He was
suspended for a year because he was a
member. ?'"•?-"•'? •.•'. "■ 7-
- Worden said that after the drafting of
the club constitution he ■ laid *it on .the
desk of Principal Keyes for "inspection
and approval at 19 j o'clock in the morn
ing. He found It there at 3 o'clock in
the afternoon, and, believing it had
been approved, removed it and the club
was 7 launched. 7
Bruce? Hill, sergeant at arms for the
club, was ..cross examined as to -testi
mony previously given by. him' before
the school board. - His brother. Albert,
was also a witness. Malcolm Hook,
Guy. Era! and Hayward C. Thomas said
that both fraternity, and Good Enuff
klub were literary in their tastes; but
that the club . added athletics, had a
baseball, team and contemplated- a bas
ket ball 'team. - The witnesses said that
its members were not necessarily Geks.
Ogden bases his plea for reaJmission
to the school on the ground that the
Good Enuff ' klub was not a secret so
ciety and did not come under the : ban
of the law. ... ..'.*. X'
