PRESIDENT SCORES
THE SPOILS SYSTEM
Returns Without His Approval
Bill Providing for TAX
ing Census

WASHINGTON. Feb. 5-"The evil eff
fects OF the spoils system and of the
custom of treating appropriations to
the public service as personal per-
quisites of professional politicians are
peculiarly evident in the case of a great
public work like the taking of the
census, work which should emphatic
ally be done for the whole people and
with an eye singly to their interest. -
In these words President Roosevelt
today summed up a message to the
house returning without his approval
a measure providing for the taking of
the next census, because of a provision
that appointments shall be made on the
basis of noncompetitive examinations.
As passed by congress the bill per-
mits representatives and senators to
designate persons for positions after
they have undergone a single examina-
ton.
The reference of the president to a
division of the spoils without a fight
by the professional politicians" on both
sides provoked general laughter.
After providing for a reprint of the
census bill as it passed the house the
bouse adjourned. thus postponing ac-
tion on the message

GERMAN ANDCzECH
DEPUTIES BATTLE
Racial Clashes Cause Close
of the Austrian Par
Lament

VIENNA. Feb 5-The session of the
Austrian parliament came to an end
this morning after a scene of turbu-
Ience extraordinary even for an as
sembIy where violent outbreaks were
comparatively common.
The trouble, which arose from the
old racial feeling between the Ger
mans and the Czechs, broke out dur
ing the debate on a government bill,
the object Of which was to reconcile
these differences. The radical Czech
obstructionists, who had been hinder
ing the debate on this measure for sew
eraI days with continuous din from
drums and tin whistles, so exasperated
the Germans this morning that the OPP
posing deputies came to close quarters
and q fierce scrimmage ensued. One OF
the radical Czech deputies named Spec
eek. who has been particularly violent
in his obstruction, was captured and
whipped until he howled for mercy.
Another Czech was bitten by German
on the cheek and sustained an ugly
wound and black eyes and sore heads
were numerous
The premier. Baron Won Bienarth,
seeing the uselessness of attemptin g
to pass legislation. closed the session
and sent the deputies home
The departure of the ministers was
followed by another free fight,
in which the opposing factions rushed
upon one another to the strains of
revolutionary songs. and wild confusion
reigned for half an hour The depu-
ties finally became exhausted and the
battlefield was gradually deserted.
The sudden closing OF the session
and the political import of the dis
order have had an adverse effect upon
the bourse.

Local Shippers Renew Efforts

The California shippers are not dis
posed 70 withdraw their opposition TO
the recent advance in freight rates.
Active plans have been begun TO renew
the campaign. The shippers viii strike
through two agencies. the state legis-
lature and the Interstate commerce
commission
Preparations are being made for
meetings st which the shippers will
ask the legislature 70 pass the Cart
wright resolution calling fer an appro-
priation OF $4,000 TO be used 10 resist
the rate increase. The resolution en-
powers the attorney general of the
state TO proceed against the transpor-
tatiOn companies either through the
medium Of the interstate commerce
commission or the federal courts. The
attorney general is given authority to
employ extra counsel
The shippers believe that the matter
is one OF public concern in that it i'm
poses an additional tax amounting TO
some sS.O00, 000 q year upon the people
of the state II is understood that
The shippers viii hold meetings TO
strengthen the hands Of the proponents
Of the resolution IN the legislature.
The plan TO seek aid direct from the
Interstate commerce commission origi-
mated with G. J. Bradley manager OF
the California traffic association. After
2 careful study OF the rate bill Brad
ley was convinced that the commission
had the power 70 make an investigation
on its own account without waiting for
q formal protest He has addressed a
letter to the commission in which he
calls attention TO this provision. The
communication has been directed 10
President Knapp Of the commission
It says in part:
We desire 10 call your attention TO
