Half Public Employees in Politics
Chicago December 3 More than half the public employees in the United States are in politics and form the substructure of political machines, according to Richard Henry Dana of Boston, president of the National Civil Service League. He said the league will push for civil service extension, not job protection, as its immediate aim. He noted federal civil service includes about 475 000 people with roughly 400 million dollars in annual salaries, only 61 percent under merit system rules. Adding city county and state services, the total nears 900 000 appointees with about 700 million dollars in salaries, the larger share tied to political patronage.
