COST Of CENSUS
WILL BE $4,000
Supervisor, Moore Plans This Eft.
innate ON Work in His
District.
MAKING OUT VOUCHERS
Expense of Counting Noses in
State of Virginia Will Be
About 100000.

Cost of taking the 1910 census In
the Richmond district, not including
the expense incident to ascertainlns
data and statistics regarding manu-
featuring industries, will amount to
at least $t6,to0, according TO super
visor Moore, whose Office force was
busy Wednesday morning making out
vouchers for payment OF enumerators
who have finished work in his district.
Vouchers for enumerators in the rural
sections will not be made out until
after this part of the work Is COM
pleted May Is and whereabouts.
Enanerators will he allowed 3, Ia
and cents per capita, according to
density OF population in which they
worked. For barns and stables
enumerated in cities, 10 cents will be
allowed. Reward. for enumerating
farms is 20, % liz and IS cents eaech,
according to density of the rural popa-
lation.
- Some Doubled Up.
Some enumerators In Richmond
doubled up considerably on their
work and did the work of several men.
They Will, of course, be paid in &C.
cordance with the total amount or
work done. Census takers who fell
down on their job earned practically
nothing, as the little work they accom-
plfSned nad 10 De uOne over AGAIN.
The average pay of the enumerators
who worked the full sixteen days al
lowed in Richmond will be in the
of $50.
With the estimate of Supervisor
Moore as a basis. cost of taking the
census in Virginia will be about
100000, there being ten supervisor
districts throughout the State.
Work to Consume Three Years.
For taking the entire census of the
country, including manufacturing In
dustries, the government has at Its
disposal the sum OF $2S,000,00O APP
propriated by congress. A goodly por-
ton of this money will be devoted to
defraying the expense OF compiling
and tabulating data after 1t reaches
the bureau at Washington. This work
will necessitate employment OF thous-
ands OF clerks and will consume at
least three years.
Most of the census work in Super
visor Moores country districts Is ex-
pected to be completed by Saturday
night. In only three districts, 1t Is be-
lieved, the time limit will have to
be extended for few days.

TAFT BILL FACES
STORMY VOYAGE
Senate Probably Will Refuse
Concurrence to Measure
Passed by House.
CONFERENCE TO FOLLOW
Long and Short Haul Clauses
Likely to Cause Heated
Debate.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. May IL
Senators proceeded serenely to-day
with the job Of fixing UP their rail-
road bill, despite the fact that the
House with much contention and
heavy labor passed q measure on the
same subject yesterday. Senators.
well aware OF the fact that the shoot
Ing up OF the bill in the House has
been from angels. different from those
employed In the Senate. will indulge
themselves only In grim smiles when
they hear officially that the House
asks their concurrence"
The House version Of the bill will
be referred to the Senate Committee
on Interstate Commerce. The COM
mittee most likely will let 1t rest In Q
pigeon hole until the Senate bill has
been about completed. Then the COM
mittee, In all probability. will recon-
mend that the Senate bill be adopted
as = substitutes: the Senate will follow
the recommendation, and the Senate
bill will be sent to the House for con-
currence. The House will refuse to
concur and will ask for q conference.
which will take place without further
delay. A conference committee usual
ly consists of committee consisting OF
two Republicans and one Democrat
from each branch of Congress.
THE prediction when we began
work on the railroad BILL" said a
Senator to-day. was that we would
reach a final vote in three weeks.
Every prediction since that time has
been the same and when you ask
me now how long it will be before
the vote is taken I can do no better
than to repeat three weeks'''
The debate on the long and short
clause In the Senate will probably con-
sumo the greater part or all Of this
week. Then there will be contention
over the sections designed to author
ixe the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to regulate the issue of stocks
and bonds by railroads and a number
OF minor but troublesome amend
ments.
Several Important Changes.
Most important of the changes In
the Presidents handiwork made by
the House were the insertion OF. pro-
visions for the physical valuation of
railroad property: placing telegraph
and telephone companies under the
Jurisdiction of the Interstate Com
merce Commission; to have the COM
merce court judges appointed by the
Supreme Court Of the United States,
TO extend the law to ships plying be-
tween the United States and Hawaii.
and to prevent q director OF one rail-
road serving as an officer or director
OF another line.
The House eliminated two sections
which proposed to allow railroads,
under certain conditions, to consoli-
date and to enter into rate agree
ments. In the Senate. 30 far, these
same sections have been amputated.
Also the proposed wide jurisdiction of
the commerce court has been restrict
ed; interested shippers have been
gisn the right to be represented in
the trfai OF cases appealed from the
commerce court. and II has been nro-
vided that the Interstate Commerce
Commission shall have no authority
over steamship. freight or passenger
rates.
