AN EUROPEAN CENSUS.
Inquisition to which the German Govern
ment Subjects Its Citizens.

Inquistion to which the German Govern
ment Subjects Its Citizens.
Americans who are loudest in their
groanings about several census ques-
tions should look at the inquisition to
which the Germans are subjected.
The German year book gives the fig
ures of even the income tax. An in
come of $3.50 or less is not taxed, and
up to $3.50 the tax is nominal. For in
comes over $3.50 the owner must swear
as to the truth of the figures he gives
The exact rental of each dwelling is
obtained and the average rentals for
different conditions are published. The
showing for the year 1885 makes the av-
erage rental for single room without
stove-vr an unbeatable" room, as the
expression used is--a sum that corre-
spends in our money to $50 per year. 1t
makes the rental for single room with
a stove in it or single "heatable"
room-S50; for living apartments con-
sisting of two ''heatable" rooms, SS5 per
annum; for apartments consisting of
three such rooms, $50; for four ''heata-
BILE rooms, $500, etc.
No personal liberty in Berlin. The
the preparation of an accurate census.
No room can be rented at hotel or
boarding house, and no apartment or
house can be legally leased, until the
landlord has sent to the police the
name and purpose of the newcomer and
the length of time for which he
will probably make the city his
home. The same method is in vogue in
other German cities. The experience
of one of the professors of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania last summer is sig
nificant as TO the effectiveness of these
methods. Wishing to communicate with
an American lady who was abroad, and,
as he thought, in Leipsic, he wrote to
the police of that city. The answer de-
clared that no person of the name was
in the city. A similar letter IS sent
to the police headquarters of Dresden,
and a similar answer was received.
When, later, however, the professor
wrote to the police of Berlin, the reply
announced that Mrs. - was living at
No. - street on the - floor. -Scien-
tific American
