Not Much Improvement.

Mr., McCumbcr said the census bill as
agreed 10 by the conferees did not dif-
FER materially from the measure which
was vetoed in the last congress by
President Roosevelt. who claimed that
it contravencd the spirit of the civil
service law. BY the operation of the
law and according to the provisions of
the census bill as agreed to by the con
ferees. he said. employees of the govern
meut are not apportioned among the
several states. The fact. he said, is
that whole families are employed in
government departments credited TO
states which the younger members of
families have never seen. Mr. McCum-
bcr urged tho necessity Of his amend
mont requiring actual residence by the
applicant from state which was
stricken out by the confcrees.
Senator Gallinger said it was noto.
rious that whole families are employed
IN the government service in this city
and that the law of apportionmcnt is a
nero farce in It's application.
