From Arena of National
Affairs At Washington
Washington, An; !•' "PcU.'.c*
has been completely eliminated from
municipal appointment* In Kansas
Citj.” John T. Doyle, secretary of
the I’nited Stales Civil Service Ccm-
mtswlon, sail! tonight. Mr. Doyle
has just returned from Kansas City,
where he assisted the city governim-nt
In establishing the civil service sys-
tem for Its municipal appointments
provided for by the city's new char-
ter. Secretary Doyle said the muni-
lpal and civic leaders of St. Ixmla
and Baltimore where new charters
with civil service provisions are un-
der consideration, should go to Kan-
sas City and study the plan adopted
and now being worked out there.
"The first distinctive feature is the
number of place* excepted from ex-
amination." Mr. Doyle said. “The
civil service of the city is divided into
the the exempt service and the’clas-
sified service. The exempt service
comprises only the officers elected
by popular vote, the sorgennt-at-arms
of the common council, mayor’s sec-
retary and stenographer, the city au-
ditor, city counseler, one assistant,
the city clerk, city assessor, mem-
bers of the park beard, secretary of
the board of hospital and health, fire
chief, chief examiner of the civil ser-
vice board, members of the public
utilities commission and a few others
"The classified service comprises
all officers and positions in the city
service no. specifically designated In
the exempt service. These are ar-
ranged in two classes designated as
the eora'petltlve class and the labor
class In Kansas City they have
included In the civil service several
heads of departments, such a* the
city engineer at $1,000 a year, coun-
selors at $3,600 and $1,860 annually,
city electricians and other*.
The second distinctive features of
the Kansas City service plan is that
they did not do as is susally done
elsewhere—classify or 'blanket In
employees already In the service of
the city. On the contrary the new
charter requires that when an eligible
list is established positions for which welfare.
I they had been appointed through com
i petition.
"Still another distinctive feature
J of the Kansas City plan," Mr. Doyle
•explained, "is that the charter re-
quires the appointment of the man
I standing highest instead of giving
j a choice from among three, as is
usually the case. A most Important
feature fas the creation of hoards of
examiners, made up of citizens ex-
pert In the lines of examinations,
who serve without compensation. In
this way severnl hundred men of the
highest standing in the community
were enlisted iu the civil service
work which is now In progress In
Kansas City.
"The boards were mada up of rep-
resentative leaders In different po-
litical parties, of different religious
faiths an social positions, lawyers,
priests, labor leaders and others
leading in all phases of thought In
the community have been given
places in these boards, upon which
they serve without pay with the true
Kansas City spirit of Interest in civic
The result Ua* been that
the register Is established thereby
becomes vacant and must bo filled
front tlic regis:. r. This requires that
all Incumbents of positions In the ser-
vice of the city must take the ex-
aminations In compettltlon with out-
sider? In order to retain their posi-
tions."
XXinhIn out Incompetents.
"This meets one of the objections
to the system
the examinations have received the
entire confidence of the community
and been conducted quite without
criticism.
"One feature that has attracted at-
tention has been the fact that the
examinations thus far have brought
forward men who would not have
been thought of for appointment in
the old time regime, when the city
already adminls- *“ bossrldden. Those who have
i come forward to take the examina-
tered In some cities, which was that
a large number of incompetent per-
- >ns were protected in their positions
and given the same advances as If
tions have shofn themselves marked-
ly superior in their examinations to
the old class of men."
