The task should be done in the Territory a lot more thoroughly than it probably will be done in many of the larger centers of population.

Purpose is to determine as nearly as pos- | sible the number of unemployed and partially unera- | ployed in the nation that corrective steps might be taken. There is considerable difference of opinion as to the method of taking the census, some feeling the plan as now to be carried out is not entirely adequate | and perhaps they are correct. But in view of the fact| that any kind of a census of the unemployed—still the nation’s biggest problem-—is better than no check | there for all to see—they don’t grow tough enough to at all. It falls to the-Ipt of all of us to cooperate in|stop the bullets they invite. every way possible that some fairly accurate conclu- | sion may be reached. Acting Gov: E. W. Griffin expressed it clearly yes- terday when he said: A’ greaf ‘many people have had honest dif- ferences as to the best method of taking this and the punishment due them were the long fallible processes of the law.
