DEMOCRATS OUT
FOR 1000 JOBS
Bring Up Request in Consid-
ering Agricultural Census
Question.
MAY PUT IT THROUGH
Test Vote Defeats Idea-Legislative
Bill. Carrying $38, ,740.733. Probably
Will Be Passed in House Today.

A lively fight was staged in the
House yesterday over a provision in
the Legislative bill that would II en-
acted, create 1000 Jobs for an equal
number of Democrats. 1t authorizes
an appropriation Of S2,s57, 900 for an
agricultural census to be taken by the
Census Bureau. The work Of making
the census was authorized in an act
passed in 1909, but no money was pro-
vided for the purpose at the time. The
item was inserted in the legislative
bill over the protest Of certain Demo-
cratic leaders.
The appropriation was attacked yes
terday by Representatives Good, OF
Iowa, and Gillette, Of Massachusetts,,
on the ground that the decennial CEN
sus and the Agricultural Department
note all statistics OF this sort that are
needed. Nevertheless, Democrats In
sisted that the appropriation should be
granted, and the charge was made that
they were Influenced by a desire TO
provide Jobs for the faithful
The provision was defeated on test
vote, 72 to SO. However. this vote is
not final When the legislative bill
comes up for final passage a record
vote will be called for, and the chances
are the provision will then be passed.
Consideration of the legislative Dill,
which carries a total appropriation OF
$3S,74O,733, was concluded yesterday.
1t probably will pass today.
This will mark a record Tor the
House in work accomplished before the
holiday recess. The House then VIII
begin consideration of the postofiice
bin. and the chances are IL Will De put
through before the new year.
