THE NEED or PUBLICITY"

Governor Cunmins OF Iowa discussed
the subject OF Industrial combinations
in his, inaugural message. Among
cher things he said: Il am unable to
aeTee that we can cure whatever evils
nay exist in these organizations BY
publicity" So far as is known nobody
con ends that publicity is cure-alI
resident Roosevelt says that the
first essential in determining how to
deal with the great industrial combira-
tons is knowledge OF the facts-pub-
licity-" The facts being known. it viii

regulation are needed.
Governor Cummins said also that the
affairs Of these industrial combinations
are already sufficiently public so that.
every Intelligent man understands in a
general way of what they are com
no*ed. what they are doing and what
obey are earning" This is too broad

able to find out anything. Only a few

\ MOST OBNOXIOUS MEASURE.

The census committee of the house
has prepared Il bill creating a perma-
nent census bureau With the propo-
sition that there shall be such q bureau
the Tribune has expressed its SYM
pathy. There are certain features o.
the bill. however. which deserve any
thing but sympathy and which ought
20 be eliminated.
1t is proposed. for instance. that the
e.,CC clerks now employed by the cen
gus bureau shall be put at once under
tle classified service and be eligible
to transfer TO other departments. This
means the addition of 2.70O persons who
viii be eligible for appointments with
cut passing = civil service eX3mina=
ton.
f: is expected that the census force
can be reduced from 200 to 800 this
year and still further reductions can
b. made until by 1910 the number of
c.-rks employed will be only about 200.
This is the plan outlined by Chairman
Hopkins in explaining his bill. Sup
pose. then. that all the reductions have
been made and that the force is
h ought down to the ultimate 200. What
h.ppeas to the other $500? They are
PASSED over TO the general classified
service. In other words they are in
simulated into the civil service without
ever having taken the competitive civil!
service examinations This is, clearly
unfair. The men and women now on
Tie CiVil service waiting list have Sot
there by the regular route. These cen
suS clerks are coming in by an under
ground passage. There is no reason
why they should be allowed TO do 81.
Most of them have secured their pres
nF II
amount of personal merit combined
with a great deal of political influence.
Practically all of them owe their places
90 the influence of congressman. If
trey are put on the civil service list
their political influence will stin give
them a sinister advantage over their
rivals. When vacancies happen they
viii be the first to profit thereby. They
viii fill all the vacancies that will occur
Ger d year or more. Injustice will be
cone twiCc-in the first place by admit
ting them to the list when they have
no real right to be there; in the second
place, by making it possible for politi-
cal influence to play even a larger part
il the appointments than it does at
present.
The bill reported by the census COM
Tnittee has been sent back to it. There
il should stay until it has been purGed
of its Objectionable features. As it
stands il is not so much a bill to create
q permanent census bureau as to create
= lot of patronage for congressman and
20 add to the number of half idle clerks
in the already overmanned government
With industry and effic-
isncy in those departments there might
be a reduction of - per cent in the
clerical foree.-Chicago Tribune.
