The objection that | only one party is represented at a time is met by requiring that the first depnty shall bea member of the opposite party from that of the commissioner. ‘The principal departure of the proposed measure from the existing law is the extension of the merit system to offices having a3 many as twenty-five employe. At present the kaw applies only to offices where there are as many as fifty employes and more. Other provisions change the Pendleton statute, how- ever, in important respects, and the whole | measure is worthy of careful consideration.

No matter what the question is, if he finds that his grounds of twenty years ago are untenable now he abandons them withont hesitation and with the frankest statement that he finds them to be un- tenable.
