Absolutely Confidential Treatment of

tain the approximately exact
number and value OF live stock
on the ranges inthe United States
on April Is next, the date of the
livestock inventory, as required
by the act Of Congress providing
for the Thirteenth Decennial Cen
sus.
Fearful that for one. reason or.
another the livestock raisers
may be deferred from freely stat
ing the number and value of their.
holdings, the Census Bureau is
exerting unusual efforts to assure
the ranchmen and farmers, espe-
cially OF the western range states,
that their interests, whether per-
sonal or corporate, can not pos
sibly be affected in any way by
their frank and full disclosure of
their livestock possessions. The
information gathered by the Gen.
sus Office is held strictly conf,
Dental not only inrespect to the
fact that under no circumstances
is it ever impaired to any one
not connected with the Census
Office, but in respect to it's ever
being given to any other branch
OF the government.
ASSURANCE OF SECRECY.
'In behalf Of the Census Bu-
reau, today said Assistant Di-
rector William f. Willoughby,
Il can give as positive assurance
OF the confidential treatment Of.
Information called forby the live
stock questions in the general
agricultural schedule as | could
il d confidence we're to be imposed
upon me personally and private
~. The Census Bureau is con-
cerned only in the collection and
publication of statistical facts.
The spirit ofevery act of Congress
providing for the various decen-
NAL censuseS has been. and is.
that the Information as to indi-
viduals, firms, and corporations
is to be given inviolable secrecy.
1t is as much privileged informa-
ton as that impaired by a client
to lawyer, by a patient to a
physician, by dying man to a
minister. 1t can not even be i'm
parted to another branch of the
Federal Government, no matter
how much the information may
be desired. No court ever has or
ever will ignore this Immunity
from personal or business in
volvement bestowed in return for
information required by United
States Census inquiries. To do
otherwise would impair, if not
wholly destroy, the scientific eff
cheney OF the census work. SO
far as the livestock census is
concerned, the bureau, following
fair, impartial, and unbiased
methods, quickly separates the
person, firm, Incorporation from
the facts furnished, aud private
or corporate identity in connec-
tion with any census data re-
mains forever sealed and sacred
