A MINORITY REPORT.
1t Is Made by Nfr. Fithtan Against a
Permanent Census Bureau.

1t Is Made by Mr.. Fithtan Against IL
Permanent Census Bureau.
WASHINGTON. Feb. s.-Mr. Fthian, Of
Indiana, OF the committee on census,
has made a minority report against the
passage of the bill reported from the
committee providing for permanent
census bureau. The present census
office, he says, is divided into
twenty-five divisions, all but seven
of which should be eliminated.
Many Of the statistics taken uuder the
present census are merely Implications
of reports made by other bureaus. The
census Office has been enlarged from
time to time more to create Offices and
salaries than for legitimate purposes.
Consequently the census has become
tumble Of figures and ir-
relevant inquiries filing volumes
which make their appearance
so that they are only useful for waste
paper. It is claimed that the cost Of
maintaining permanent census bureau
would not exceed 100000 a year. The
minority claim it would be treble this
amount. Messrs. Baker of Kansas and
Lawson of Georgia sign the report with
Mr. Fithian.
