CENSUS SUPERVISOR
 OUTLINES HIS PLANS ASKS FOR APPLICATIONS FROM THE WILLING AND COM
 PETENT. Franklin F. TowIe, Who Has Charge of the Count in Arizona, Maps Out Maricopa County Into
 Districts.


 In an interview yesterday with Franklin F. Towle. of Globe. Super visor of the census for Arizona, MT Towle said:
 I wish to urge those who feel competent to perform the task, and who are actuated to a large extent by public spirit and a desire to have the census of Arizona as full and correct as it is possible to make it, to forward at once their applications to me"
 Mir. ToWle has just completad a trip through the territory. He has been in every county, dividing it up into districts so that the work of the enumerators may be smplified and systematized.
 Since his appointment last Sep tember by President Taft as sup ervisor for Arizona, he has set about the colossal task with a vim and a determination to make the thirteenth census as far as Arizona is con- cerned. the most reliable and com Diet compilation of statistics that has yet been gathered together With this end in view he will select with extreme care the enumerators- for they are the ones who will come in direct contact with the people and gather the statistics He wants only those who will devote eight hours day to the work for thirty days.
 The work begins April 15, and will be completed in a month.
 As the task of gathering the data will be somewhat more difficult in Arizona than in eastern states. and on account of the higher price of labor, MT Towle will ask the auth critics for the maximum rate of S6 a day for his enumerators. This rate will apply to country districts where the enumerators will work by the day. In the larger cities three cents a head will be the prevailing rate, the aggregate not to exceed the SC rate. The census in cities hav- ing more than 5000 population ac- cording to the last census. will be taken in fifteen days There are but two such cities in Arizona Phoenix and Tucson.
 Those who wish to comply with the request of Mir Towle should ad- dress an informal letter to him at Globe, and he will send the appli- cant the usual blank form to be filled out. It will require 250 enum- orators to take the census of Ari& Zona. Some of them, in such coun- ties as Navajo. Apache, Coconino and Mojave, will have to travel by pack horse into remote districts and take the census in that manner They will be expected to furnish their own means of conveyance as the per diem rate is supposed to cover expenses
 The 1910 census of Arizona will be much larger and more complete than any previous census. It will em- brace population. agriculture and live stock statistics In addition there will be a special census of mines and quarries which will be taken by emissaries from Washing ton. as those branches are not un- der the direction of the special dis trict supervisors. There will be some new statistics on live stock that have never been collected before. In the past it has been the custom to collect figures only on range and farm stock. but the new orders are to get all stock. The householder in the cities and towns will be asked if they have horses. cows, chickens, etc. They will even be asked the number of eggs the hens laid during the year.
 There was some criticism of the last census relative to Arizona. To large extent it was incomplete as it was taken during the month of June. when, the anpual hegira of the population to the coast and elsewhere begins. Many of the residents of Phoenix. for example. were on the trains when the enumerators were busy. This year. the census will be taken in April before the rush
