The Permanent Census Bureau.
o the Editor Of The Evening Star:

~ INC 1Iuitoi VI 1ne rfeHlHS SlhF.
The proposition of Chairman Hopkins of
the House census commit tee to introduce
a bill at the coming session Of Congress
providing for a permanent census bureau,
and for the transfer without examination
of all the census clerks not needed in the
permanent bureau to the other government
departments, under civil service rules, on
recommendation by Director Merriam,
seems to be attracting some attention and
leading to comment, both adverse and fa-
Vorable. According to the article in The
Star of the 10Th, the civil service commits
sioners seem likely to be unit against the
transfer proposition. and from the same
source it is gathered that President Roose-
welt is also an interested party, presuma-
bly, opposed to the transfer proposition In
the interests of preserving intact and in
violate the letter and spirit of the civil
service laws. Of course, most of the GEN.
sus clerks, and many others not personally
interested, think differently about 1t. May
1t not be that there. are two sides to this,
as to most questions? While no one is ad-
vocating and comparatively few desiring a
general breaking down of the civil service
laws 1t Is claimed that ethe spirit of the
CIVIL service laws would not be In the least
violated by a transfer Of the census clerks
to the classified service. since they have
already passed an examination equal in
stringeney to those required by the civil
service commission, and have had in addi-
tfon a couple of years experience in the
government service, an unusual equipment
for those entering the classified service.
Why would not compromise work we'll
here? Instead of simple transfer Of CEN
sus clerks to the classified service on the
recommendation Of the census director,
why not provide that all census clerks who
desire to enter the classified service be per-
mitted to take an examination or exami-
nations of the regulation kind prepared by
the civil service commission, and that on
successfully passing the same all such per-
hn
service at such time as the census bureau
Is through with their services? This plan
would in no wise violate the spirit of true
civil service, and would assure the gov
ernment the services of a set of trained
clerks, whose services it needs and would
also assure a worthy set of clerks employ
ment instead of their being ignominiouslv
dumped by the government after it had
kept them long enough to have them well
trained for further efficient service.
