cert nights. There will be four more con-

cials concerning desired amendments to the
laws relating TO collection OF statistics. As
the statutes now stand, the laws on this

tive. There is no punishment provided for
false returns, and not enough provision for
= variety Of statistics. Among other things
suggested is collection. in the future, OF
statistics relating to births and deaths in
the state.

established. those At its head have suffered
from the handicap Of inadequate laws. The

and submit crop statistics Is still fresh In
the public mind. More elaborate returns
are desired. together with stringent provls-
Ions against false returns.
