NEW CENSUS
DEMANDED
Salem'S Business Interests Re-
qulre it.

Much Indignation and disgust is be-
ing expressed by all classes Of citizens
oser the results Of the recent so.called
census Of Salem, as well as other towns
Of our state.
In 1890 our city had about I 1900 with
in the four warde Of the city, and it is a
fact that none will attempt to gaineay
that we now have fully rs many ii not
more people than We had at that time.
There are now more buildings with
in the city limits, and it is next to i'm
possible 10 end a vacant house. No we'll
informed citizen who Is at all observing
but must admit that ~ city is greatly
wronged by the so.called census recently
ioisted upon US by set Of politician
e~numerators, for We now have more
people than ten years ago, beyond any
question.
1t would not he right TO say that all
the enumerators failed in their duty,
but the simple fact that Supt. VIM was
constantly appealing to the newspapers
and private citizens TO assist in taking
the census, is Of itself evidence that the
work was deficient. The census depart
ment had no confidence in its own work,
and why should it not be subject to
criticism?
The fact that our population has been
cut down about one.half on paper ( but
not in fact , lie the plainest evidence TO
any thinking person that the thing is a
fraud. or all previous enumerations were
frauds. This cutting down, which is the
same process that has been applied to
all other growing towns in the state, will
prove a great detriment to our city, and
should be corrected. In the first place
IL will cost Salem several letter carriers,
and will in a number of other ways
injure our city and it's standing abroad.
How can this be remedied2 The city
could easily take a census, at
small expense, and with such proof
OF the ineficiency Of the official census,
could go before the department aud
get a hearing that would proove fruit
iul. Such a census could at least be used
10 maintain our interests before the pos.
tai department. One man has volun-
teered to take the first ward census free
of charge, and no doubt others could be
found willing to volunteer their services.
A meeting OF citizens should be called TO
take this matter in hand, or TO confer
with the city council for action that
would set the capital city Of Oregon right
before the world,
