Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln and the Patronage Nounced The second inaugural of President Lincoln takes place at Washington to-day, and an immense throng of politicians have already ocked thither, to push their fortunes. Lin coln was firm, however, and March 7 the same paper stated: Office-seekers were informed that no general removal of officers would be made. This really unusual willingness to diminish the power of the patronage, even though personal annoyance was the main cause of it, was a long step on the road to reform, and it is by no means improbable that Lincoln, with his wonderful capacity for growth, might have accepted the idea of appointment by ex amination, and advanced it to an earlier victory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Patronage to Proficiency in the Public Service: An Inquiry Into Professional Qualification and Methods of Recruitment in the Civil Service and the Municipal Service HE old saying that the success or failure of all institutions depends on the men who work them is a political platitude of the first water; but it is ao quiring a new aspect of truth with the gradual evolution of modern political science from the old art of govern ment. For with this development success or failure comes to depend not only, as hitherto, on the spirit and character of the men who work the institutions, but also, to an ever-increasing extent, on their mil knowledge and professional qualifications. The this transition is necessarily a slow one, and in our own day we shall see no more than its mere beginning; but still we can note that the most significant characteristic of the progressive development of State activity, public ownership and administrative regulation which has been one of the outstanding political features of the past cen tury, is the alteration in the methods by which the greatly extended functions of government are carried out.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fighting the Spoilsmen: Reminiscences of the Civil Service Reform Movement Among the voluntary associations which have existed in this country for the propagation of various political and social movements there are two which have fairly won an honorable place in history: the Anti-Slavery Society which played an important part in the movement for the abolition of human bondage, and the National Civil Service Reform League which, with its constituent local and State associations, has done much to bring about the establishment of the competitive system in the civil service. The history of such organizations ought to be preserved, not only on account of the things they did, but as an illustration of the power of comparatively small groups of men, when properly organized and skillfully led, to accomplish by long and persistent efforts great public reforms. It shows what immense possibilities there are in voluntary association with self-sacrificing devotion to a cherished cause.

Download or read book The Civil Service Law written by William Harrison Clarke and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Civil Service Law: A Defense of Its Principles, With Corroborative, Evidence From the Works of Many Eminent American Statesmen The improvements in the revised edition of this work consist in an Appendix, a new Index, the addition of fresh matter to about thirty, pages of the Introduction and various chapters, and the correction of a few errors. The Appendix possesses much historical value, for it contains pertinent quotations from the works of many contemporary and recent statesmen not quoted in the body of the book. The warning of Storey and Washington (pages 225, 226) concern ing the dangers of party Spirit, should be read and heeded by every American. Parties, when they strive solely for principle, are the life of a nation; but when they strive solely for pelf, patronage, and power, they are its death. Even corrupt party leaders may destroy a republic; sometimes even ambitious leaders may do so. Did a nation ever make a narrower escape than did our own during the slaveholders' rebellion? Who but ambitious party leaders caused that rebellion? Some truthful words concerning the crime of buying and selling votes have been added to page 52. This evil cannot be too soon remedied. Voters should be educated up to a higher standard. The American who acknowledges any man as his political boss, at the polls or elsewhere, disgraces the name American. Independent voting and an educational test for voters are what is wanted. The man who can not both read and write the English language, should not be allowed to vote. This would supersede the necessity for the so-called Force Bill, for the rule would apply to blacks as well as whites. A few words concerning the crime of business men neglecting to vote would be an important supplement to page 52. The subject of civil service reform is still one of the greatest issues of the' day. The Christian Register (boston) truly says: We are yet on the threshold of this the most important reformation in American political history. Other newspapers have testified to the same effect, extracts from a few of which appear on page 240. There is much work yet to be done. But the outlook is hopeful. If civil service reformers are as vigilant in the future as they have been in the past, ultimate victory is assured. A people who have the intelligence to discover their mistakes and the courage to correct them, are capable of self-government; otherwise they are not.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Civil Service: The Merit System, the Spoils System Two facts are noteworthy with regard to the effect of the use of the merit system on partisan contests in politics. The total cost of the executive service is over Of this about three-fourths is now paid to those employees who are under the merit sys tem. This very large sum is no longer held out as prizes for partisan activity, or treated as the spoils of the enemy. The other fact is that the feeling of the people that the government is theirs, and does not belong to the party in power for the time being, is greatly strengthened. The entrance examinations are held in all parts of the land, and men and women are selected for the departments at Washington with no regard whatever for their party views or the influence of politicians. This has been of great effect in laying to rest the passions bred by the civil war, and giving to the dwellers in the South a sense of their common rights and duties as citizens of the nation. It is a great and lasting gain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Civil Service of the United States: The Theory, Methods, and Results of the Reform Introduced by the President Pursuant to the Act of March 3, 1871, Stated by the Civil Service Commission in a Report to the President To the Senate and House of Representatives: Herewith I transmit the report of the Civil Service Commission authorized by the act of Congress of March 3, 1871, and invite your special attention thereto. If sustained by Congress, I have no doubt the rules can, after the experience gained, be so improved and enforced as to still more materially benefit the public service and relieve the Executive, members of Congress, and the heads of Departments from influences prejudicial to good administration. The rules, as they have heretofore been enforced, have resulted beneficially, as is shown by the opinions of the members of the Cabinet and their subordinates in the Departments, and in that opinion I concur; but rules applicable to officers who are to be appointed by and with the advice and consent of the Senate are, in a great measure, impracticable, except in so far as they may be sustained by the action of that body. This must necessarily remain so unless the direct sanction of tie Senate is given to the rules. I advise for the present only such appropriation as may be adequate to continue the work in its present form, and would leave to the future to determine whether the direct sanction of Congress should be given to rules that may, perhaps, be devised for regulating the method of selection of appointees, or a portion of them, who need to be confirmed by the Senate. The same amount appropriated last year would be adequate for the coming year, but I think the public interest would be promoted by authority in the Executive for allowing a small compensation for special service performed beyond usual office hours, under the act of 1871, to persons already in the service of the Government.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Party and Patronage: An Address Prepared for the Annual Meeting of the National Civil-Service Reform League; April 28, 1892 If Charles Lamb had been an American by birth, as he is certainly an American by affectionate literary adoption, he would have added probably to his list of Popular Fallacies the pleasing delusion that a republic is a self-adjusting system of liberty and equal rights, and that to upset a throne is to set up justice. When Voltaire was insulted by the London mob for being a F rench man, an offence which John Bright said is forgiven by John Bull only with the greatest reluctance, the Frenchman turned upon the steps as he entered the door, and, with exquisite sarcasm, appealed to the nobleness of the English character, and complimented the mob upon their institutions and love of liberty. Voltaire knew that in England the surest appeal was to the national self-com placency, a virtue which is not wanting to the English-speaking race wherever it is found.

Download or read book The Civil Service of Great Britain Classic Reprint written by Robert Moses and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Civil Service of Great Britain This essay is not an exhaustive history of the civil service of England. Its object is to present the steps in the reform of the English civil service with particular emphasis upon the success of competitive examinations and of the brilliant and farsighted plan to attract the most intelligent and capable young men in universities into the government service - a plan first introduced by Macaulay in the civil service of India and later adopted in the Home service. It may be said, then, that in this study the emphasis has been upon examinations, personnel, and prospects, rather than upon organization, economy, and conduct of business. In writing this monograph the author has had constantly in mind the influence of the reformed English civil service upon the civil service of the United States. This influence begins with the early American reformers, especially with the American author of the only existing complete history of the English civil service, Dorman B. Eaton, our first United States Civil Service Commissioner. Mr. Eaton was sent by President Hayes to study the English service, with a view to reforming the American "spoils" system, and embodied his researches in Civil Service in Great Britain. This book was a leading contribution to the reform movement which resulted, after Garfield's murder by an office seeker, in the Pendleton Act for open competition in 1883. Mr. Eaton began his volume with the Norman Conquest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
