I-deem ‘the present an opportune time to place before the vitizens of Casper an outline of the benefits and. satistac- ton which should be derived from the merit system. which has_ been. carried out successfully in practically all _post- offices today, and which we, hope will eventually be a success in our home office. This is not a new experience, for it dates back as far as 1883, when the merit system was first made a law over the system called “the spoils system" and signed by President Arthur. Casper is vastly and rapidly becom- ing a city which ranks in the first class and should readily have the sup- port of the first class ‘also, this systeni | will tend to eventually bring it up to the standard it deserves. The follow- ing Is a brief outline which will tend to explain the system: The object of this aw was for the Purpose of providing a system to pro- mote efficieney in the conduct of gov- a ernment business.

The test of competitive minations has been found to be thorough and practical, another proof: is the muci larger amount of good work done hy persons so selected. 4 Offices are created, not for’ the ben- efit of those who fill them, but for the public convenience. It is an agency for the good of the people, and that every person in the office is the agent and servant of the people. » In consequence this law has done much to promote efficiency of public service and to inspire confidence in the employes and should have the support of all good citizens. !
