Sees No Legitimate Reason.

There is no legitimate reason for
appointing the employees under this
bill without civil service examination.
for
"a The civil service commission
states that it is able and ready to I'LL
the places by examination.
"b. In case Of an emergency re-
curing examination to be waived. the
President has full authority to sus-
pend the civil service law. and in fact
he has within recent months done SO.
notably in the cases Of the food and
fuel administrations and the United
States employment service.
Repeated experience shows that
while plausible reasons can always be
found for including exemptions in q
census act, the real motive is always
to be found in the opportunity thus
given for patronage and spoils. At
the present moment. when politics
is adjourned" and the country expects
public considerations only to prevail.
the passage of the census bill with
patronage provisions would be q na.
tional disgrace"

the supervisors.
Mr.. Foulke contended that the
supervisors being political appoint
mentees, will appoint the enumerators
on a political and patronage basis.
In conclusion, he said:
Past experience shows beyond a
doubt that the grossest abuses, frauds,
inaccuracies, corruption and extraya-
gance have followed every exemption
Of census employees from the provisions
of the civil service law.
THE present bill is in many re-
spects, as already shown, more OBJ
iectionable than any previous bill.

Mr.. Foulke's Comment.

In making protest against any re-
turn to the spoils system In the ap-
pointment of census employees, Mr..
Foulke pointed out that President
Roosevelt vetoed the census bill IN
1908 because it left the appointments
open to the spoils system. and Presi.
dent Taft threatened to veto the bill
unless it was changed when he sue
ceeded President Roosevelt.
The House bill, in sections and Z.
throws open the door to the spells
system, he said. 1t provides that the
temporary clerks and employees In tho
census office, some $500 in number.
shall be appointed by the director
Of the census, and in section that
they shall be subject to such special
tests as the director may prescribe to
be conducted under the Civil Service
Commission. But there is no provision
such as exists in the present census
law that an appointment must be
made from those graded highest. Mr..
Foulke contended that the director
may select any applicants he sees AT
and that this is patronage, the only
limit being that the applicant must
pass examinations prescribed by the
director himself. the questions Of
which may be made as easy as he
chooses.

Appointing Census Employees.
DISCUSSES PENDING BILL

A strong protest against throwing
open to the "spoils system" the thou
sands of appointments which must be
made for the taking Of the fourteenth
decennial census Of the United States
has been fled with the Senate census
committee by william Dudley Foulke,
chairman of the census committee Of
the National Civil Service Reform
League. Mr.. Foulke was formerly
member of the civil service commits
sion.
The charge is made by the repre-
senatives Of the National Civil Service
Reform League that the bill, which
has passed the House and which is
now before the Senate committee, will
mark a return to the spoils system Of
the eleventh and twelfth census, with
attendant scandals, and that the for
ward step taken when the law for the
thirteenth census was passed will DO
lost.
Director Rogers First Witness.
Director Rogers Of the census bu-
reau was the first witness heard by
the committee today. He was closely
questioned by the senators as to the
need of making the detailed census OK
the industries OF the country. etc, at
time when the United States is in
the midst of war. He replied that 1t
would be great mistake not to con-
tinue the work of the census bureau.
and that the demands for information
regarding the industries, because OF
| VIZ. conditions, made its continuance
necessary.
! Mr.. Rogers went over the bill In
detail. explaining how 1t differed from
| the old law. He strongly urged the
committee to grant increases IN
salaries for his assistants and CHIEF
statisticians during the three-year
| census period. The next census. he
said. would be taken as Of the date
of January 1. 1920. The census period
begins July l, 1919.

rye and barley flour for export by the
Government. he is DESTROYS that all
merchants he acquainted 9Th the real
facts in the case and the restrictions

During the latter part of May, COM
plants reached the ONCE from whole
salers and jobhers in Tampa and Jack

large stocks of rye and barley flour
which We're in danger of spelling IL
they were not taken care Of.
Mr.. Beacham communicated with
the Grain Corporation of the United

planned to them the conditions exist

only places which had reported great
overstocks at that time. Very reluc-
family the Grain Corporation agreed
to take over part of the stocks and
os'ered price for sue. amounts as
could be handled below the purchase
price. or the present marketing price.
Mr.. Beacham was also advised that
only a certain amount of barley and
rye -four could be taken from this
state. and instructions were given
him to accept nineteen hundred barrels
from Tampa and nineteen hundred
barrels from Jacksonville.
These amounts were quickly got
ten together. and prepared for ship
ment. 1t wos not the intention of the
food Administration TO take all the
barley -four that could be offered by
merchants in this state as the Food

TALLAHASSEE, June 30.-(SpeciaD
Governor Sidney J. Cats has direct
ed the following letter to every board
of County Commissioners In the State,
urging them, IL possible, to lower the
millage OF county taxes, for the year
1918. The Governor has fixed the mil
large for State taxes, for 1918, at eight
mills, instead Of nine mills, and If
further reductions can be made. tax
payers may be greatly benefited:
Tallahassee. June %, 1918.
Honorable Board of County Commits
sioners. -. County. Florida.
Gentlemen:
am pleased to announce that by
authority vested in me by law i have
fixed the millage for State taxes, for
the year 1918, at three and one-half
mills for the General Revenue Fund
and two and one-half - lis for the
Pension Fund. This is a reduction in
the millage levied for the yean 1917 OF
on half mill for the General Revenue
Fund and one-half mill for the Pen
sion Fund, making the State millage
for 1918 eight mills instead of nine
/ know this will be appreciated by the
tax payers of your county.
In this connection, and in view OF
the fact that in most counties an
earnest effort has been made to as
sess property on more equitable
basis, thereby increasing the .valua-
tons, permit me to suggest that your
Honorable Body do not increase, but,
If possible. make reduction OF the
millage for county purposes in your
county for next year.
Every day we are brought face to
face with the facts that only by the
exercise OF rigid economy on the part
OF the people can they survive the high
cist OF living brought about by the
war in which re must all have hand
in the winning. AS individuals must
Practice economy il beaooves thise
intrusted with handling the state and
county funds to exercise care and
judgment in spending the peoples
money. It Is no time for extravaganza
and unnecessary expenditures.
In making the reduction in the pen
sion fund it viii not prevent any of
the Confederate Veterans and widows
from getting their PENSIONS promptly.
BY rigid economy in all parts of the
state Administration. the reduction of
a half mill in the General Revenue
Fund is made possible. No new build
inEs or expenditures OF any nature
have been projected or made. which
could with safety be postponed. and
believe similar action on your part
will meet with. hearty approval OF
your people.
While the law places the responsi-
bility of fixing the county. tax rate up
on you, / feel sure that you will not
object to my calling your attention TO
these matters. There are certain ex-
penditures that are necessary, and
know that your discretion and judg-
ment will prompt you to do the best
for the people whom you serve.
Assuring you of my willingness at
all times to cooperate with you for
the welfare OF the people. and with
