nected with the census office, but in
respect to its ever being given to any

Assurance of Secrecy.
In behalf of the census bureau,
today said Assistant Director Viii
liam f. Willoughby, Il can give as
positive assurance Of the confidential
treatment of information called for
by the live stock questions in the
general agricultural schedule as /
could if a confidence were to be i'm
posed upon me personally and pri-
yately. The census bureau is con
cerned only in the collection and
publication of statistical facts The
spirit of every act of congress pro-
yidng for the various decennial cen
suses has been, and is, that the in
formation as to individuals, firms,
and corporations is to be given in
vOlable secrecy. 1t S as much priv
LEGGED information as that impaired
by client to a lawyer, by a patient
to physician, by a dying man to a
minister. 1t can not even be impaired
to another branch of the federal gov
eminent, no matter how much the
information may be desired. No court
ever has or ever will ignore this
immunity from personal or business
involvement bestowed in return for
information required by United
States census inquiries. To do other
wise would IMPAIR, not wholly de-
stroy, the scientific efficiency of the
census work. So far as the live stock
census is concerned, the bureau, fol
lowing fair, impartial, and unbiased
methods, quickly separates the per-
son, firm, or corporation from the
facts furnished, and private or cor
porate identity in connection with
any census data remains forever seal
ed and sacred in the great safes Of
the census office"

LIVE STOCK ON RANGES.
Confidential Treatment of
the Answers to Census Emu
meratorS.

Washinfiton, ID. c.. Feb. 1.-THE
United States Census Bureau is max
ing extraordinary preparations to as
certain the approximately exact num-
Der and value of live stock on the
ranges in the United States on April
IS next the date Of the live stock
inventory, as required by the act Of
congress providing for the Thirteenth
decennial census.
Fearful that for one reason or
another the live stock raisers may be
deferred from freely stating the
number and value Of their holdings,
the census bureau is eXerting I'M
usual efforts to assure the ranch
men and farmers, especially of the
western range states, that their in
terests, whether personal or corpoT-
ate, can not possibly be affested in
any way by their frank and full dis
closure of their live stock posses
sions, The information gathered by
the census office is held strictly con
hdential not only in respect to the
fact that under no circumstances is
it ever impaired to any one not con
nected with the census office, but in
respect to its ever being given to any
other branch of the government.

The Directors Report.

In his annual report for 1909 to
Secretary Nagel, of the department
of commerce and labor Census Di-
rector Durand stated:
THE thirteenth census act is more
specific than that for the twelfth CEN
sus with respect to penalties upon
supervisors, enumerators. or other
employees who disclose information
which they secure, or who make false
returns. While there is no evidence
that employees of the census bureau
in the past have been guilty of i'm
proper disclosure of information
except, possibly, in a very few cases
these more specific provisions for
penalties are highly advantageous.
Although the census law requires
persons Intercepted to furnish the
information called for on the duly
authorized schedules, reliance for
prompt and accurate returns must
rest largely upon the good will of
those making the returns. Manufac-
turers, farmers, and others will not
freely disclose the needed informa-
ton unless they feel assured that il
will be treated in strict confidence.
The census bureau exists solely for
the collection of general statistics.
and is not, and should not be, an
instrument for disclosing the affairs
of individual persons. firms. or cor
poratons Returns made by the cen
sus bureau are in no case published
in such a way as to Identify the bust
ness operations of individual persons
or concerns, nor are they disclosed
to any person aside from employees
OF the bureau itself not even to 9TH
er departments of the government
or to Their departments Of cmfwy p
or to other bureaus of the depart
ment Of commerce and labor"
