Kicker - Article IX, section 14 OREGON CONSTITUTION.  Damn who put that in the Constitution?? - oh yeah,  WE THE PEOPLE.   Wow those politicians, they get you to vote for any old thing - must be the governments fault WE voted for it.  Maybe we need MORE teachers so people can actually READ their ballots.

Civil service - oh yeah there were those abuses of political power in the early 1900's so put in all these laws about public employment to stop corruption and graft.  It must be government's fault that corrupt politicians got elected.
