BILL PUTS CURB
ON ACCOUNTANTS
Commissioners viii Ask
Congress to Require
Certificates.

Upon recommendation Of Auditor
AIonzo TweedaIe. the Commissioners
viii forward to Congress a bill creating
a board of accountaucy i'm the District,
and prohibiting any person from using
the title Certified Accountant or the
9hbreviatjon, C 2. A." until he has
received from the board a certificate
of his qualifications.
The proposed bill provides that the
board shall consist of three members
to be appointed by the Commissioners
Tae members of the board first to be

tce OF accounting, and shall have ac-
lively engaged therein I'm the District

to the date of the passage of the act.
Those appointed later must have Ger
uhcates from the board of account
anCy. The term of office is three years.
The penalty provided for using the

DEMOCRATS DIFFER
OVER CENSUS BILL
Will Not Vote as Unit
Against Veto, Says
Underwood.

Democrats i'm the House viii not be
unit I'm voting against the Presidents
veto of the census bin which provides
for the appointment of about 5000 per
sons outside of the civil service 20
enumeratc the new census, according to
Representative Underwood of Alabama,
who called OF the President at the White
House tOda The Presidents veto went
up to Congress yesterday, and whom
the bin comes up again next week there
is promise OF a hot fight.
Representative Underwood said his
vote would go to sustain the President,
though he felt sure the Democrats would
not stand together on the proposition.
He explained that ne had always stood
for the civil service, in line with the
Presidents Ideas. and that he had al
ways favored the Government Printing
Office i'm doing the census printing. He
would not be consistent therefore, he
added, If he came out now against the
President
The Presidents view OF the bill as
means TO provide SPOTS for both parties
is shown in the following language Of
ITO provide that the clerks and other
employees shall be appointed after non
competitive examination, and yet To pro-
hltt lildL -LtE Sllatl ne etlCCltl WltllJelL
regard to political party Affiliations,
means merely that the appointments
shall be treated as the perquisltss of the
politicians of both parties, instead II
as the peTQuisites of the politicians OF
one party
Il do not believe in the doctrine that
to the victor belong the Tpuus, but I
think even less of the doctrine that .he
spOils shall be divided without a fight
by the professional politicians on both
sides. and this would be the result of
permitting the bin in its present shape
to become q law
Members OF the House admit that they
are perpleXed as to what course to fol-
low. Personally they prefer the bill as
it stands. for 1t gives them a chance to
put a number of faithful friends at
work without the necessity of a civil
service examination. No definite action
viii be decided upon by the House until
the members have been thoroughly can
vassed and the sentiment made plain.
If sufficient strength can be mustered,
the bin VIII undoubtedly be passed ~OVeT
the Presidents veto. but more trouble is
looked for i'm the Senate, where the
demand for civil service examinations
IS stronger than in the House.
