ment with reference to the merit system.
He said Mr.. Porter's plan of non-com-
petitive examination was nearly, but not
quite, as bad as the old spoils system.
Non-competitive examinations, while pre-
venting the appointment of the most in
competent persons, did not secure the APP
pointment of the most competent.
He was not arguing to show that Mr..
Porter's Department should be put under
civil service rules, but only to demonstrate
that Porter's plan should not be applied
to all the Departments.
Mr. Porter interrupted Mr.. Roosevelt
and said that he had no such intention,
that the Census Office was temporary
affair and his system was only to meet its
needs.
Mr.. Roosevelt charged that Mr.. Porter S
system of promotion i'll the Census Office
was based upon political influence, and
that was one of the best arguments In
favor of the Commissioners merit system
Further replying to an argumIent made made
welt denied that the civil service rules en-
couraged the growth of Departmental
barnacles.
He said that two-thirds of Mr.. Porter;
men had either failed to pass the Commits
sioners' examination or had passed a
very low rating. In conclusion Mr.
Roosevelt said that he had never made Al
attack on any Department. But" saiC
he, ''if any Department from that of thu

makes an attack upon the Commission
