REFUSES TO PUT HIS SIGNATURE
TO CENSUS BILL.
OBJECTS TO SPOILS SYSTEM
Work that He Thinks May be Done
by Congress if the Eight
Hour Law is Applied.
Washington "The evil effects of
the spoils system and of the custom
of treating appointments 1o the pub
lic service as personal perquisites of
professional politicians are peculiarly
evident In tho case of a great public
work llko the taking of the census, a
work which should emphatically bo
done for the whole people nnd with
an eye single to their Interest."
In these words President Roosevelt
summed up a message to the house
of representatives returning without
his approval the bill providing for tho
taking of the next census, because
of the provision provldln; that ap
pointments shall be made on the basis
of non-competlllve examinations In
stead of through the Civil Service
commission. As passed by congress
the bill permitted members and sena
tors to designate person for posi
tions a?tcr they had undergone a
simple examination.
Incidentally the president referred
to the provision authorizing the print
ing of census reports by private con-
erns and laid stress on the point
that where work was so allotted the
light hour law should be applied In
iTeetlve fashion.
Outside of these matters the presi
dent said that on tho whole tho bill
was satisfactory to him and represent-
d nn improvement on previous legia
at Ion on the subject. The house
idjourned without action on the
message. '
The president says he vetoes the
bill with extreme reluctance, realiz
ing the value of time In beginning the
census, but declares it Is of high con
sequence that It shall be conducted
with extreme accuracy, that it shall
not be c;ien to suspicion of bias on
personal and political grounds nor to
bring a waste of the people's money
and a fraud.
"Section 7 of the act," he says, "pro
vides lu effect the appointments to
the census shall be under the spoils
system, for this is the real meaning
of the provision that they shall bo
subject only to non-competitive ex
amination. The provisions added that
they shall be selected without re
gard to political party affiliations. But
there Is only one way to guarantee
that they shall be selected without re
gard to choosing them after competi
tive examinations from the lists of cli
glbles provided -by the civil service
commission."
Continuing, the message says:
"To provide that the clerks and
other employes shall be appointed
after non-competitive cyn,"tion.
atnl yet to provide that iney shall
be selected without regard to politi
cal party affiliation, means merely
that appointments shall be treated
as 1 lie-perquisites of the politicians
of bqth parties, Instead of as tho per
quisites of tho politicians of one
party. I do not believe In the doc
trine that to the victor belong the
spoils, but I think even less of tho
doctrine that, the spoils shall be divid
ed without a fight by the professional
politicians on both sides; and this
would be the result of permitting tho
bill In Its present shape to become a
law.
WEST BOOTS GRIGG BILL

tion it will Introduce a bill of Its own

ning of Cass, chairman of the senate
committee on highways, says it Is de
sired to have a county highway com
missioner who shall appoint a deputy
for each road district. The deputies
shall be responsible to the county
highway commissioner and that officer

officio city comptroller. In cities of tho
metropolitan class.

Stoecker of Douglas county would
place In the hands of the State Rail

provides that no corporation operat

the governor shall Instruct the sec
retary of state In what newspapers to
ndvertle the amendments to the eon

bined ferro of republicans, against it

DRY FARM STATIONS
The Lower House Endorses Two Bills
for Same
The house stamped Its approval
upon furtherance of dry farming ex
periments for sand hl'l farmers when
It indorsed in committee of the whole
two bills for the establishment or ex
periment stations in the semi-arid re
gions of the west and northwest.
The limitations upon the location of
these stations require that they be
located somewhere In Kimball. Scotta
Butte, Sioux, Sheridan, Cherry. Keya
Butte, Souix. Sheridan, Cherry. Keya
Paha. Brown or Rock counties.
Brown of Keya Paha pleaded. In
asking for the establishment of one
of the stations, that It has taken the
dwellers In the sand hills twenty-five
years to find out what they can grow
in those regions.
Tho bills carry appropriations each
of $15,000. Representative uaiK, in
urgln j their passage, declared that he
believes the state could not spena
money to better advantage than In
testing the resources of the sparsely
populated, semi arid portions of the
west.
There is a tendency on the part of
a good many of the members to con
sider that the establishment of ex
periment stations will answer the pur
pose of a western agricultural college.
Mr. Kelley denies this, however. He
says a college Is a college and an ex
periment station Is an experiment
tlon, and this legislature will leave
one platform unfulfilled If it does not
provide for a school similar to the
Lincoln school somewhere in the
west.

nnd that losses could be prorated. The
bill was Indefinitely postponed.
As to "Dope Fiends."
Senator Henry of Colfax does not
