1 This list does not include the civil service laws applying to cities, counties and other sub-divisions of States. For more complete list and review of the then existing civil service laws see National Municipal Review, vol. 3, no. 2, April, 1914.

2 For example, the several amendments strengthening the Colorado civil service law were adopted by the “initiative” on November 5, 1912, by vote of 38,426 as against 35,282; in Illinois the following “Public Policy Question” was submitted to the vote of the people on November 8, 1910: “Shall the next general assembly extend the merit system by the enactment of a comprehensive and adequate state civil service law thus permitting efficiency and economy?” The vote was 411,676 in the affirmative and 121,132 in the negative. In Ohio on November 6, 1912, the people approved by a majority of more than 100,000 the constitutional amendment incorporating the merit system in the fundamental law of the State. Twelve municipalities and counties of New Jersey have voted on the question of extending the state civil service law so as to make it applicable to local officials. The total vote in favor of the law has been 140,773, against 83,204.
