Civil service reform and partisan appointments analyzed
The report argues that while removals have been irregular and often partisan, there have been meaningful gains in civil service reform. Indiana, Maryland, and other states show mixed results, with some offices transformed into business-like operations and patronage reduced. The authors condemn corrupt practices but acknowledge progress and call for broader, principled extension of reforms.
