DRIFT TO THE CITIES LESS PRONOUNCED CENSUS INDICATES

yielding to the lure of the city. Fig
ures OF the thirteenth census now be-
ing compiled show that. The attrac-
ton of the average wage of $3.50
for an eight hour day in the city is
stronger than the drawing power of
the $40 month and keep" for the
twelve and fourteen hour day on the
farm, but there are indications that
the tendency toward the city is slight
ly less. 1t is too early yet to make an
accurate estimate.
Advance census figures indicate
that so names will be added to the
list of municipalities having popula-
ton of $4,000 and upward. There
were 100 names on that list ten years
ago. The $4,000 population places
call themselves thriving cities. Each
has been deemed important enough
by the makers Of standard publica-
lions like the World Almanac to war
rant place in their statistics. Now
the list will be so long that the more
daring editors are expected to raise
the minimum to $4,000. A few de-

CLOSE TO 9g.0OO,0O0 OF US
Census Announcement of Popu-
Iation Due in October.
All the Counting of the People is
Done by Hand and Not on
Tabulatipg Machines.

Washington will be about the
middle of October before the people
of the United States learn their true
number as revealed by the official
count of the thirteenth census. 1t is
generally believed that the number
will be about 90,000,000, and census
officials are known to share in this
general belief, although officially they
know nothing about it. This belief is
based on the fact that an increase
slightly in excess of the 100000
increase during the previous decade
would bring the population in 1910
to the 90,000,000 mark.
About 800 of the more than 1900
clerks in the census Office are compil-
ing population figures only, while the
others are working on other statistics.
Contrary to the general opinion, all
the counting of the people is done by
hand, the tabulating machines being
used only in classification as to race,
sex and other conditions.
In two cities evidence of fraud has
been discovered, and in one, Great

port of Attorney General Wickersham

New York.-President Taft's mes
sage to the coming session of con-
gress will cover fourteen principal
subjects, writes staff correspondent
of the World from Beverly. How each
of these will be treated has not been
settled in detail, but in general way
the President has made up his mind
on most of them. The subjects are:
/. Conservation. Recommends
tons will be guided by reports from
interior department experts now in
vestigating and from congressman,
each of whom will report for his own
district. The only official informa-
ton is that the recommendations will
be constructive and progressive, but
within the law.
2. Economy in government. This
subject has progressed no further at
present than pruning in the depart
ments. A commission is investigat-
ing and the administration is trying
to find some way of large saving with
out touching army and navy appro-
priations
3. 1t is hoped the railroad stocks
aud bonds commission, though not
yet appointed, will report in time to
get into the message.
To Remedy Laws Delays.
a. AS Mr.. Aldrich has announced
his intention of retiring March
next, it is expected that he will sub
init the report of the monetary COM
mission to the coming session, and
that the President will base recon-
mendations on it. Both this item
and the preceding one may be COW
cred in special messages.
5. Reform in federal, civil and
criminal court practice is subject
on which the President feels earnest
ly. He was unable to get any action
at the last session and will lay the
subject again before congress.
6. Ship subsidy, or the subsidizing
of mail carrying steamers, will be
urged again.
Z. An act fixing employers liabil-
ity and supervising employees COM

Jackson, the capital of Mississippi,
stands at the head of municipalities in
the older sections of the country in
the matter of gain. She grew from
1916 in 1900 to 21,262 this year,
an increase of 172 per cent. Yet the
citizens of Jackson are clamoring for
another count, believing the growth
was really greater. During the pre-
ceding census period her growth was
from 1920 to 1916, or 80 per cent.
The seven cities that grew faster
between 1890 and 1900 than between
1900 and 1910 are Washington, Prov
idence, Wilmington, Moline (Ill),
Ann Arbor (Mich.), Peoria (Ill.)
and Cumberland (Md). The five
that increased their gains the past de-
cade are Columbus, Brownsville
(Tex.) Jackson, Lynchburg and East
st. Louis.
Drift to Cities Less Marked.
Statisticians in the census Office
believe that while the drift is still to-
ward the cities, it was not quite so
marked as 1t was ten years ago; that
there may be. Just little eddying

fewer farm boys are responding to
the call of the city. But there can be
no certainty until long after the total
population has been figured out and
until after the figures prepared by the
immigration bureau showing the des-
tination of immigrants have been con-
sidered in connect on with the census.
The So counties of Texas that have

827, 008, as compared with 551,944

state and are considered fairly repre-
sentative. Texans are counting on
an increase in the house, if the pres
