HOUSE PASSES z|HLMAN
ACCOUNTANCy MEASURE

The House, without q dissenting
vote, yesterday passed the Zlhlman bill
to establish q board Of accountancy
resentative Zihlman told the House
that at tho hearings on this measure
IL was shown that each Of the forty
eight statse Of the Union now has a
law establishing a board to pass upon
the qualifications of the applicants
for certificates as certified public ac-
countants, and such laws are anala-
gous to this bill for the District.
Because of the absence or such q
law in the District, number Of as
sociations. Representative Zihlman
said. have been incorporated and
issue certificates upon the payment
of q fee without regard to the quail
fcation or training Of applicants.
The bill defines a public account
ant" and creates a board to be ap-
pointed by the District Commission
ers, composed of men skilled in the
science and practice OF accounting.
1t directs such boards to conduct eX-
aminations in the theory and prac-
tice of accounting and such related
subjects as the board may deem ad-
visable. 1t authorizes the board to
grant a certificate as certified pub
lie accountant" to such persons as
successfully pass these examinations.
The bill provides that none shall as
sumo the title or hold himself az
certified public accountant in the Dis
trict without receiving a certificate
from the proposed board of account
ancy.
This bill passed the Senate March
16, 1922. and now goes to the Presi-
dent for his signature.

TEACHERS SALARY BILL
IS DISCUSSED IN HOUSE

The so-called teachers pay bill was
the theme of discussion in the House
yesterday before Chairman Focht Of the
House District committee had an op-
portunity to call it up for considera-
ton.
Representative Blanton of Texas, 4
minority member of the District com
mittee. accused Chairman Focht of
"sandbagging" this measure. Focht
denied this and said he hoped to call
up the bill later on in the day, but
that he had three or four important
measures on which he hoped to get
action without lengthy debate
Representative Blanton charged
that the pay OF school officials had
been raised and that the teachers
were denied a raise through failure
to bring the bill up for vote.
Chairman Focht replied that Rep
resentative Blanton evidently had
changed his mind, because several
d-ys ago he had been against this
bill and was urging that the entire
expense Of the schools should be borne
by the District taxpayers.
