ADOPTS IOWA METHOD.
South Dakota Will Hereafter Use New
Census Plan.

Des Moines, Ia, May 31.-South Da-
kota has adopted the Iowa plan of TAX
Ing q state census. The Iowa statute
was copied almost in every detail, ex-
cept as to date on which to have the
work done.
A special agent Of that state. Fred q.
Goodfellow. was in Des Moines calling
on Secretary Dawson of the Iowa ex-
ecutive council for the purpose of pro-
curing information AS to how to pro-
coed with the work and the system OF
classification of the census after it is
taken. which Iowa will adopt.
Secretary Dawson is the director Of
the census n is pushing the work Of
t%abulating the census now. He has de-
vtsed the O convenient system of
blanks, n South Dakota without a
doubt will adopt his system. 1t is not
copyrighted.
Mr.. Goodfellow il the curator Of the
Historical society Of South Dakota. 1t
has charge of the census in that state,
while here the executive council in
Iowa has charge. There. as here, the
assessors are the enumerators, but IL
the authorities of this state had it to
40 over gall 1t is probable that the
provision to make the assessors do the
work would be eliminated. 1t has
worked unsatisfactory in W ways
the counties have hesitated about pay
Ing the assessors additional compensa-
ton for the difficult work of taking the
census. n the people have hesitated
about giving information as to the
value Of their property and kindred
matters to the assessors.
Mr.. GoodfellOw said that he expected
a substantial increase in the population
OF South Dakota.
