v/ P TEE "% of the census, and his staff. FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 25, 1919 ~ GONGRESS ADDS . T0 CENSUS WORK Bureau Prepares to Comply With New Provisions. " TOEMPLOY100,000 PERSONS An Addition to Agricultural Schedule Will S8how How Many Women Farm: ors There Are and the Incumbrance on All Farms—Some Questions to Be Omitted in This Cendus—Will Cost $20,000,000. The. census bureau believes in pre- paredness. It never entirely demobil- fzes. Once in ten years it expands sud- dealy like an army golng to war, for & Job quite ds big in Its way that has to be done in 80 days. This Is the count- ing of all the people In this great coun- try, their cousing and their aunts, and the horses, sheep, cows and almost the Mlades of grass on which such crea- tures feed. The fourteenth time for doing all this and more is still months off, but he time is short to do what has to be "<done to get ready. 'The task grows in features and details every time it I8 undertaken. The hureau is working Bard on its arrangements to comply with the additions the recent congress Bas made to its schedules, One of the first new things in the law is a proviso that in making ap- polntments preference shall be given . to honorably discharged soldiers, sea- men and marines or their widows if qualified to serve. 2 Will Employ 100,000 Persons. There will be a force of about 100,000, including 80,000 enumerators, 4,000 clerks In Washington, and 400 supervisors with a force of special clerks and agents, The cost of taking the census will approximate $20,000.- 000. One of the largest of the tem- porary war buildings in the city has been requisitioned by Secretary Red- feld for Samuel L. Rogers, the director - An addition to the agricultural # achedule will show how many women farmers there are and the fncum- brance on all farms. To the old ques- tlons whether the house or farm 18 qwned or rented, free or mortgaged, will be adaded inquiries regarding fts value, the amount of the mortgage, 1t any; the rate of Interest, and the ob- ject of the debt. Any objection enter- tained to answering these (Intimate questions will be softened and the quiz y the enumerator made a pleasure through use of good advice and illas- tratlon by means of films run in the moving pleture theaters before the census Is begun. One such film prob- ably will show that it s no disgrace to owe a mortgnge on a home, since most homes are obtained that way. and that it is a fact a community hav- ag the largest number of such mort- gages {3 ever more prosperous than one out of debt. Another new provision I8 a schedule to ascertain the amount of land re- claimed by drainage as well as the amount improved by irrigation alone. which was covered last time. It will inctude the crops produced on re- clsimed land, the location and char- acter of the enterprise and the capital Invested: The data which may result Is expected to be a revelation to the people at large, Some Questions to be Omitted. The unsatisfactory data obtalned ten years ago by inquiries regarding the kind of timber on farms, the enumera- tion of Unlon and Confederate sol- diers and the unemployment of citi- zena In general, has led to their aban- donment. There will, however, be a census of forestry and forest prod- ucts. A census will be taken also of Guam, Samoa and the Panama canal zone, but not of the Philippines, as that government will take a census of 1ts own this year. The 1910 federal census began April 16, The 1920 census will start on January 1, as a date better suited to ascertain the crop yield of the preced- ing season and, particularly in the South, because it is a time prior to the general change in farm tenancy and before the breeding season of domestic animals. It is also a date when most “city folks” sre at home and travel Is at its lowest volume. It is expected that within two weeks all places of 2,500 inhabitants will have been canvassed. What Is known as the “hand count” will begin about January 15 and bulletins announcing the pepu- lation of cities soon will follow. Wash- ington’s probably will be the first be- cause the District of Columbia is closest at hand. According to Director Rogers dum- my population schedules &s now pre- pared, 30 questions will be asked of each individual or some one represent. ing him, There alsc are agricultural, THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER industrial and other schedules extensive questionnaires, and these are belng studied in the light of experience {n preceding national counts. The chief work now Is in arranging for the tabu- lation of this immense amount of highly specialized Information, It will be done by machinery so much im- proved over that used ten years ngc that the work will approach the wiraculous., Literary Rocks.
