So it will be seen how very pleasant is the Civil Service prospect of " Automatic Salary Increase. " XVI PROMOTION The practice of what used to be called " pitch- forking " is by no means a lost art in the British Civil Service. As the present writer has found that this expression has not always been understood by outsiders, he may explain that it is the likening of the putting of a Civil Servant low down in a classification — from near the bottom to the top of his class or over several classes... — to the lifting of hay or corn to the top of a rick. It has, of course, always been done on the real or assumed ground of " merit " ; but we regret to say that, not unfre- quently, this explanation of the act has proceeded on assumption only, and that prejudice or open intrigue have been the motive " influences " at work. Yet whilst improper influence has, too frequently, been exerted in favour of particular persons, the very people, the " Heads " who make the pro- motions in such an improper and irregular manner, are the loudest in objecting when others make unwise attempts to bring about the advancement of persons they are, for one reason or another, interested in ; and they bitterly resent open requests to favour particular officials.
