President Roosevelt Wants Higher
Class Of Census Employees.
SPECIAL MESSAGE 70 CONGRESS
faint of Spells System viii Not Only
Hampea and Delay the Taking of
Census, But Cause People to Doubt
Its Honesty.
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. =
Congress reconvened today after hol-
iday recess, but both houses ADJOURN
ed until tomorrow after brief ses-
sions. out of respect to the memory
of the late Senator Mallory of Flor
ida. The Senate was in session only
four minutes and the House for only
half hour.
In a message TO the House today
President Roosevelt urged that in
preparing for the work of taking the
next census the 1000 or more adj
ditional employees needed, be appointed
only after competitive examination
under the lules of civil service and
strongly denounced the patronage sys-
tenn of making the appointments
saying that the civil service commits
sion was surely capable of securing
most efficient force. The competi-
tive examination used in selecting
the force at Washington of the last
two censuses, the President said
served only "as a cloak to hide the
n1kedness of the spoils system"
Such examinations, he declared
We're useless as checks upon patron
age appointments.
They prevent he said, those most
incompetent from being appointed
but they do not SECURE the appoint
ment OF the most competent and they
afford no check upon political APP
pointments."
The President said 1t is idle to say
that such examinations are fair "for
the unSairness and favoritism come
in the choosing OF the men who shall
be allowed to try them"
1N1e President declared that the
great majority of the clerical en-
ployes of the last two censuses was
far below the average ability and
that statistics show only about 50
per cent. of the applicants who were
employed in the last two censuses
were able to pass the competitive
examinations under the civil service
rules.
"The faint of the spoIls system
he said" will not merely hamper anc
DELAY Ire economical and efficient
{, taking OF the census. but viii impair
the belief of the public in It's hon
