VETOES CENSUS BILL
President Returns Measure to
Congress Without Approval.
Message Says Measure is Evasion of
Civil Service and Is Unworthy to
Become Law of United States At
tack on Spoils Rule,
"The cll effects of the spoils sys
tem and oi the custom of ti eating ap
pointments to the public borvlco as
puiBoiinl perquisites of professional
politicians are peculiarly evident In
the case of a gret public work Hko
the taking of the censuB, a work which
should emphatically bo done for the
whole people and with an eyo single
to their Interest."
In these woids President Roosevelt
summed up a message to tho houso of
representatives, returning without his
approval the bill providing for tho
taking of the next census, uecauso of
tho provision providing that appoint
ments shall bo made on tho basts of
nou-competltlvo examinations instead
of through tho civil sen lea commis
sion. As passed by congress the bill
permitted members and senators to
designate persons for positions after
they had undergone a simple examina
tion. Incidentally, tho president re
ferred to tho provision authorizing
the printing of census reports by pri
vate concerns and laid stress on tho
poiut that where work was so allotted
the eight-hour law should be applied
in effective fashion.
Outside ot those mattery tho presi
dent said that on the wnole the bill
was satisfactory to him and ropre
sontod an Improvement ou previous
'legislation on tha subject.
President Urges Wireless on Liners.
To in event loss ot llfu by disasters at
sea, such as so nenrly happened when
the liner Republic went down recently,
the president sent to congress a mes
sage urging tho passage of a bill sim
ilar to that Introduced by Representa
tive Burke (Pa.), requiring the equip
ment of ocean going vessels with wire
less telegraph apparatus.
Before sending the messago the
president conferred with Mr. Burke
on the subject. The president had.
been advised by the commissioner ot
navigation that in his opinion such
legislation, was most urgently demand
ed nnd he argued in strong language
for the passage of this or a similar
bill. The message follows:
"To the Seuato and House of Repre
sentatives: Your attention Is Invited
to recent events, which have conclu
sively demonstrated tho great value of
radio-telegraphy, particularly known,
as 'wireless telegraphy,' as an Instru
mentality for the preservation of life
at sea.
"While the honor of the first prac
tical application of the scientific
principles involved may belong to an
other country, It Is gratifying to know
that our Inventors have been quick to
Beize upon and develop the Idea and
that several systems of approved sci
entific merit and commercial prac
ticability have been put Into opera
tion in tho Uulted States.
"Furthermore, through the liberal
ity of congress and the Intelligence
and Industry of tho navy department
our Atlantic, gulf and Pacific coasts
aro equipped with a chain of shore sta
tions, designed primarily for the na
tional defense, but capablo of. receiv
ing and transmitting messages by any
of the systems of wireless telegraphy
now In general use. Even our distant
Insular territories and Alaska are so
equipped.
"So far as our own country Is con
cerned, steps have been taken thus ef
fectually to prevent the establishment
of a monopoly In the practical use of
the new applied art.
Suggests Reasonable Limitations.
"I deem it highly desirable that the
congress before adjournment should
enact a law requiring within reason
able limitations, as determined by
what tho government of the United
States has already done and by what
prudent and progressive ship owners

considerable number of passengers on
routos where wireless installations
would bo usoful, should be required to

The subject is now under considera

that le--'tlon to effect the same gen

"Our, Interest in Its onactmont Is
