STOP The ERRORS
STATE AUDITOR CARROLL GIVES
WARNING TO CENSUS TAX
ERs THROUGHOUT STATE.

WapelIo County Men Are Doing Good
Work But Many Cards Are Being
Sent Back for correetIons-Poor
Work OF Few Kills Value OF Work.
"stop making errors is the COM
mand Of the state auditor, B. F. Car
roll, to the men who are busy gather
ing the census statistics for the 1905
state report. This command is being
circulated on postal cards In many OF
the counties Of the state where the
mistakes and errors in the cards are
especially numerous and to the men
who are making the most mistakes.
The cards from Wapello county are
going in regularly each week from Au
ditor Criley's Office in the court house.
So far there has not been so much
complaint about the assessors who are
doing the census work in Wapello
county but many cards have neverthe-
less been sent back for corrections.
This adds double work not only on the
census taken but on the county auditor
and the census force in the state au-
ditor's office at Des Moines.
The Population Card.
| The postal cards that are being sent
out over the state cover the points
upon which there seems to be the
greatest liability to make mistakes.
The greater majority Of the mistakes
are apparently on the population card
which is only one of five cards asking
for statistics concerning each individ-
ual citizen for the census report.
The card of warning and instruction
will prove Of interest to all and the
points made upon 1t may help many
in making preparation for the coming
Of the assessor so that the questions
that he asks may be promptly and cor
rectly answered. The card is as fol-
! lows;

their duties on the way back were ex-
planned. Many people would like to
take a trip to London and back at the
expense Of the Territory, but in this
case the return trip will be one in

the fact that both Of hese vessels may
