ESTIMATES $12,93o,000 FOR
TAKING NEXT u. s. CENSUS.
Director North Requests Application of
Civil Service Rules In Making
Appointments.

Washington, Nov. 29.-The cost of
taking the next census, as estimated by
Director North in his annual report,
will be s12,930.000. The director points
out this sum is but $4,000 more than
the cost of the same census IN 1900,
and says this will be accomplished ''in
spite of the enormous growth in the
population during the last decade. a
growth largely composed of foreign
born people who do not speak English,
class which it is very expensive and
very difficult to enumerate."
The increase, he says, heretofore
from decade to decade, has been about
so per cent.
The enormous saving, says the dtrec-
tor, will be effected by reason of the
existence of the permanent census bu-
reau and Reconsideration Of the bureaus
own tabulating machines.
Notwithstanding the congressional
requirement that appointments must be
made on the basis of noncompetitive
examinations, the director says per-
sona1 and political pressure in the end
become the determining factor, and he
asks to be relieved from this unfortu-
nate situation" He favors the appoint
ment of clerks on the basis of their
standing on the fst of eligibles.

His Mind Was Made Up.

It was during a trial in an Alabama
city more than 90 years ago that one
of the jurors suddenly rose from his
seat and precipitately fed from the
court room. He was arrested in his
flight before he had left the building,
and brought back.
What do you mean by running off
in that way?" asked the judge, who
knew the man to be simple, honest
farmer.

The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1908-11-30

can campaign admitted today that II it
had not been for the work done In
Lake, st. Joseph and other northern In
diana counties among the new foreign
voters. Bryan would have carried In
diana by small plurality. 1t is esti-
mated that in Lake county alone over
1000 foreigners were voted for Taft
who could have been voted for Bryan
IL the democratic Organization had been
as strong as the opposition. The re-
publicans outgeneraled the democrats
at South Bend. where hundreds of ig
norant foreigners were voted for Judge
Taft
In indianapolis, however. where
Judge Taft pulled through by plural
ity of less than 900. the democrats had
an organization superior to the repub-
lfcans. and the result was that the re-
publicans were unable to get by with
all OF their foreigners.
The fact that many are declaring that
Judge Taft's victory in Indiana was
due more to the fears entertained by
the business classes regarding Bryan
than to any positive strength Of the
republican nominee or his party. is ad-
ding to the misery of the republican
leaders who are inclined to believe
that the democrats won by chance
blow and that it would not be diff
cult to put the mout of, the running
two years hence
In the calm that has followed the
election storm the republicans have had
opportunity to compare the vote with
that OF other years. They have dis
covered without going far that county
after county has returned to the place
it held before Bryan became candt-
date for president in 1896.
