The militia department, of all save one, the marine, where the hand of the reformer was already at work, suffered most from the criticism of tha Deity? | civil service commission. This critical trip was named by the government to report upon "the operation of the civil service act, and kindred legisla- tion, with a view to the proposing of such changes as may be deemed ad- visable in the best interest of effi- ciency in the public service." The memorandum which accompanied the commission, from the privy. council, suggested the nature of the work. It covered classification of the service, salaries, temporary employment, pro- motions, discipline, efficiency and |] sufficiency of the departmental staffs, "and all other matters relative to the service which in the opinion of the commissioners, required considera- tien." The commission was, therefore, com- prehensive enough. It held offive about a year. It must have been in- dustrious during that period in order to cover the ground it did.
