Civil Service and the Census.

Baltimore Herald.
AS amended by the Senate, the bill
making provision for the twelfth
census exempts the Census Bureau
employees from the operation of the
civil service law. Should the measure
run the gauntlet of the House and of
executive approval in it's present
shape, it will open the way for the
appointment, without examination,
OF men to perform duties requiring
great accuracy and experience. The
narrowing of the lines by successive
civil service extensions seems to have
prompted Senator'S to SEIZE upon the
census as means of rewardiDg
POLITICAL services.
