THE HATCH BILL-At the first

THE HATCH BILL-At the first
session of the Congress, both Hous-
es passed and the President signed
the Hatch Bill, which forbade un-
due political activity on the part of
Federal employees. Senator Hatch
(Dem.) of New Mexico, recently in
troduced a new bill in order to elm
mate an unwarranted descrimina-
tion between Federal employees
and other public servants paid
wholly or in part from Federal
funds. The new Hatch Bill pre-
cludes state employees, who are
paid in part by Federal funds, from
taking an active part in political
campaigns. After a bitter fight
among the Democratic Senators
lasting several days, in which Re
publicans have taken no active
part. the bill was scheduled to
come up for a final vote on Friday,
March s but no final agreement
was reached and the fight contin-
ned. President Roosevelt has al
ready given his blessing" to the
bill and others contend that every
argument used to support the orig
inal Hatch Bill can also be applied
to the present bill. If passed the
bill will effect approximately 250,-
600 employees in states who are
paid in whole or in part out of Fed
eral funds, including Social Secur-
ity employees and State Highway
employees where the states accept
Federal aid for highways. Several
amendments have been offered and
DEBATED by a very narrow margin
which if passed would have weak
ened the bill to such an extent that
merely a worthless shell would
have been left.
THE 1910 CENSUS ~ After a |
stormy career in the House last
week, the S5,000,000 appropriation
bill for the taking of the 1910
Census went to the Commerce
Committee of the Senate. The sub
committee considering this bill has
favorably reported a resolution de-
signed to forestall census-takers
from asking people bow much
they make. This resolution
will be voted on by the full commit
tee sometime next week, ana then |
against questions to be asked by
will be reported to the Senate for
consideration. Vigorous protests
the census-takers are still pouring
in to Senators and Representatives
from their constituents. President |
says that the opposition
to these questions ''is an obvious
political move. Everybody con-
nected with Congress knows that is
the motive" Senator Tobey, Re-
publican of New Hampshire, leader |
of the Congressional fight against !
questions which might be construed |
as an invasion of privacy declares
that "the President has lodged the
real issue and creates a smoke |
screen to cover it up" The Tobey
resolution if adopted, would not
have the status of law, but would |
merely put the Senate on record.
However, if the resolution is adopt |
ed he Department of Commerce
would probably delete some # the
questions so strenuousiy objected to !
by citizens.

then he would nonchalantly con-
