invites some comment, and that rs
how the increase, estimated to be up
ward Of 81 100000. will decrease eX-
penditures." It seems to us that.
whether the fee be or 10 cents, the
expenditures ought to be reduced to
the minimum consistent with the high
est efficiency. And. in this connection,
it may be suggested that the postal
authorities should proceed at once to
get results.
Every citizen is justly proud Of The
postal service. It's operation, in .
general way, admits Of little complaint,
but there is ample opportunity for
greater efficiency in the transmission
of mail and prompt delivery. To ac-
complish this would not add cent to
the cost of the service. but. to the
contrary, probably would be actual
economy, Il is time now that the
Government gave some attention TO
wiping out deficits by a reorganization
of the service by clearing it of the
remnants of the old political system.

las secretary. The principal topics of
discussion will be proposed bylaws and
the advisability of using part of the
income for prizes for essays on the
best methods of bringing about indus
trial peace.
No doubt the ma tier Of essays on
the best methods of bring about indus
trial peace Is of moment, hut there is
much force in what John Mitchell. for
mer president of the United Mine
Workers, has to say in ietter to Deo-
dore Weed. of the Department of Com
merce and Labor. Mr. NG,chell says he
believes the organize tioa will accom-
plish little for good if it confines its
efforts to discussing questions once a
year or once in two years. He feels
that when a dispute of sufficient rag
nitude arises. then the organiza ton
should act. He would not have it act
in minor disputes, but in important
ones, which vitality affect great nun
Der of persons.
Mr.. Mitchelrs idea if carried out at
the forthcoming meeting may result
in the Foundation getting away from
theory and taking hold of the actual
practical task of composing industrial
differences. On account of what he
is advocating there viii be unusual in
terest in the meeting. If an organiza-
ton of persons of such high influence
as those composing this one sets out to
take action in important labor dis
putes with view to adjusting the
various differences it win indeed be a
step on the highway to peace in the
industrial world.

GIGANTIC NATURE OF THE
TASK OF TAKING THE
NEXT CENSUS.

Director of the Census Durand has
lately announced the appointment Of
a formidable corps of experts, stats
ticians, sociologists, and political
economists, to aid him in the work
of taking the next census. These are
retained especially to help in prepare
ton of the list of inquiries which Is
looked on as one of the most vital
phases Of the forthcoming enumeration.
1t is announced that agriculture, manu-
features, and population are to be given
special attention.
This serves to call attention to the
gigantic nature of the task that con-
fronts the Census Bureau. Taking
everything into considera ton, it is the
biggest job of enumeration and com
pilation that has ever been undertaken.
Some figures compiled by a writer in
one of the prominent weeklies lately
emphasize the huge task ahead of the
census officials. Saying nothing of the
fact that the population of the coun-
try is in the region of 90,0OO,OOO, it ap-
pears the wealth of the country is
Sl2O 600. 100000. The business amounts
TO $4,000, 100000 every year, and in the
banks of the nation are deposited
$4,000, 1000, 600.
To collect the necessary data on
population is in itself a vast work,
and the more so as it will be gone into
in this enumeration with unusual
thoroughness if all the plans are carried
out. When it comes TO taking a census
of agriculture it is to be remembered
that American farms are valued at
about S25.OO0O 100000, and that the an
nual production amounts to Ss,O00,000,
600. When IL comes 10 taking a census
of manufactures it appears the coun-
try produces Sl5OOO,0OOOO0 in manu-
featured articles every year, and that
the annual wages paid in the manufac-
turing industries amount to S230,0O0,-
600. And there arc various other
phases of the taking OF a complete
census which will have to be explored
Anyone having any doubt as to whether
there are busy times ahead for Mr.
Durand and his subOrdinates should
mediate briefly on some of the nine
cipher statistics which one encounters
when ne comes TO figure on the pro.
portions of the growth of the United
States.
