"TJhe purpose of, the Commission."
said the statement issued with the
report, "was not. as conceived by some,
merely to cut salaries and wages, but
rather to classify and place on a bus
iness basis the compensation paid em
ployes of the State. The Commission
spent approximately six months In the
work assigned to it and after mature
consideration made its report to the
Governor on October 1, 1925.

i stances inefficient employes were be
ing pnid salaries higher than efficient
employes in other departments. In
some instances in the same depart
ment different salaries were paid - to
employes of comparatively the same
degree of efficiency, training and ser
vice. ' It lias been the purpose to
eliminate inequalities and discrimina
tions wherever found and while the
Commission realizes timt the full ben
efits arising from its work will not be
immediate and tiiat some errors will
have to be eliminated when they are
made apparent by the p radical work
ing of the plan, it believes that the
report will justify the action of the
General Assembly in enacting the law
and that by following up the work
outlined in this report much per.
j inanent gpod will result." ** *
“The Commission has provided first:
classification of employes according
to the duties assigned them by the
heads of departments; and second:
has prescribed a range of salaries ami
wages for each class of employes.
"Uniform working hours, sick leave
and vacation leave have been provid
ed in the rules, thus preventing one
employe from obtaining advantage
over others.”
