Committee on The Census Reports
 Amendment to Bill.
 Washington, April 9--.The records of the.civii service commission and of the several departments in Washing ton. disclose the assignment of a vast number of government employees to various states in which. as a matter of fact, they never resided" said Senator Lafollette today
 He Is chairman of the committee on the census which has reported an amendment to the census bill requiring applicants for positions within the gen. eral classified service of the govern ment to take their examinations in the states to which they are accredited as legal residents
 Tt was to correct this abuse of the civil service law which requires an ap- portionment of employees of the civil service among the several states and territories that this amendment was adopted" said the Senator. Many people come to Washington. live here for twenty-five or thirty years and their children claim the former resi- ience of the father, although they may never have been in the state for the purposes of apportionment This is not in accord with the spirit of the civil service law and either the section requiring apportionment should be re- pealed or the apportionment should be made on a basis of actual residence"
