Editor essays 10 eriticise the plan
adopted by the census department 10
ascertain the recorded Indebtedness
Of each county In the United states,
and he eharaeterizss the plan n an
outrage on the people equal to the
one peTpetrated by the notorious
Galloway. Il 10 very apparent that
Mr.. Editor 10 deficient In the first
principle Of critic on this subject,
viz: knowledge Of the subject.
The plan 10 substantially as fol-
lows: Six counties In Kansas are
taken - Inquiry counties, and by
eorrssPondenees with the mortEsgur
and mortgage In each Instance the
amount still due on each mortgage
will be Aseertained. Itit 10 found In
The inquIring counties that - per
cent Of the aggregates Of unraneelled
mortgages have been paid In, a.
partial payment which the records
do not shoW them the amount APP
PeariRg Of record In Saline county
will be reduced 5 per cent. Agaiu
70 10 per cent Of the mortgages In the
in9uirlng counties are found 60 he
fully paid hut not released, then the
amount In Saline county will he d.
minished in the same proportion.
The date obtained On theJ inquiring
counties will also be used 10 make
other corrections 90 that the result
Whes reached will he very close %
the exact amount Of the recorded
debt Of eseh county and the aggre-
gate for the whole state will not vary
more than q small traction Of one
per cent from the exact amount aud
Of course the exact amount II what
we all desire 10 know.
"a little knowledge IL Dangerous"
especially In the prosecutions Of an
editor. aud editorials are surely
more satisfactory when based upon
. full knowledge Of the facts In the
case.
