particular case seems safe.

FOR RESTRICTION OF
. RUBuC ACCOUNTANTS
LAW PROPOSED TO CREATE A
BOARD OF EXAMINERS TO
PASS ON QUALIFICATIONS.
Special to The Netos.

Special to The Neios.
Jackson, Miss, Sept. 30.-An effort
will be made during the next session
of the legislature to have the law
makers pass a bill providing for q
board of examiners to pass upon the
qualifications of public Accountants,
and enact a law providing that Ii
censes are to be issued to those who
pass the required examinations and
who are to be known as certified pub
lie accountants The accountants
who are interested in this matter will
also seek to have the legislature pass
a law requiring that none but "certi-
fled public accountants" can engage
in auditing work, employing the same
license method to raise the standard
of this profession in Mississippi as in
the case with doctors and dentists.
1t is said that large number of pub
lie accountants in Mississippi are be-
hind the movement, and they will
have meeting at an early date to
draft the proposed law anu urge its
passage, contending that both them
selves and the public will be bene-
fitted
"a merchant wants to know when
he employs an accountant that he is
fully qualified, just as much as a fell
low with bad tooth wants to know
that real dentist is going to work
on" said one accountant today. He
went on to say that in many states
there were laws that nobody except
certified public accountants" who had
passed examinations and been given
license could take contracts for audit
ing work.
why" he continued, there are
many Mississippi merchants who have
credit in the East who are often re-
quired to furnish information about
their business. These houses will &C.
cept reports only from a certified pub
lie accountant. No matter how high
the standing of some accountant here
might be he must be able to write
certified public accountant in sign
ing his auditing report. The result is
that frequently Mississippi merchants
have to send out of the state for men
to do auditing work, whenswea should
be given the jobs. If men to do audit
ing work were licensed, and only IL
censed accountants could be employed,
you can readily see of what great ben
eft it would be to those who have
auditing work to be done. Competi-
ton would not by any means be de-
stroyed, but the licensed accountants
would always be bidding for jobs. 1t
would be the same system exactly as
is applied to doctors and dentists, all
Of whom must pass examinations be-
fore boards created by the legislature.

Gulfport, Miss, Sept. 3O.--At the
request of Congressman Pat Harrison.
Governor Brewer some days ago
wrote to President Wilson asking him
to direct the Secretary of the Navy.
to provide instruction in elementary
seamanship at the Gulf Coast Military,
Academy OF this city. This action
was taken following a conference be-
tween Mr.. Harrison and the principals
of the academy, Colonies Hardy and
McGehee, and the Congressman has
just been advised by Governor Brew
er that the President has complied
with the request.
President Wilson states In his let

real pleasure to me if this request
can be complied with in every particu-
lar and since the academy can meet
every condition imposed by the law
providing for the establishment Of this
instruction, which is limited to one
school in each coastwise state, and the
Secretary of the Navy has expressed
the hope to Mr.. Harrison that the
school will avail itself of the opportun-
ity offered, it is believed that the re-
quest will be granted just as soon as
the necessary formalities are dis.
