DISTRIBUTION OF POPULATION
Dr.. LaidlaV Sees IN Census Figures
Hope for Back 20 the Farm
Movement.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Referring 10 the announcement
just made by the Census Bureau of the
population Of New York State in 1910.
which places within our citv's limits 52.3
Per cent Of the population Of the state, as
against 47-3 per cent in 1900, 1 would call
attention to some facts of high Importance.
The cities OF $4,000 and over in New
York State numbered II in 1900 and q IN
1910. In the q cities now belonging to
tee $4,000 class there were. in 1910, $751;
571 people; whereas. il 1900, the popula-
ton Of u cities of $4,000 and over num-
bered only 4,457. .oS3. and in 1890 3.153,52s-
The increase of population in cities Of the
% 600 class, 1900-'10, was. therefore
1s7453S, whereas the whole increase Of
the state was only L644.3S5- The 21 cities
which now belong 70 the $4,000 class had,
in 1900. 4.651462 people and their increase
has, therefore. been 1,680,1 109 persons, or
81 per cent of the entire increase of the
population Of the state during the last
decade.
N cities of $4,000 and over. and outside
Of them. the percentages OF the population
Of the state in 1sso-'oO and 1910 are as
fellows:
Population in cities of $4,000 and over,
1890, 52.5: 1900. 6I3; 1910, 69-4- Popula-
ton outside cities Of $4,000 and over, 1890,
475; 1900, 3a7; 1910. 30.6.
IN 1890 the population in cities Of 5000
and over in New York state was $3.50. o42,
OF 6S.5 per cent Of the population Of the
state In 1910, as shown above. the popu-
lation Of cities Of $4,000 and over alone
comprised 69.4 per cent Of the population.
SO far as can be at present ascertained,
the population IN cities Of 5000 and over in
New York State, 1910, is as follows:
Cities of $4,000 and over. 6,331,571
cities over 5000 20 %, 900, 4S7,57S; total.
6,S19.149.
Seventy-four and eight-tenths per cent
Of the population Of New York State IS.
therefore, now urban" or resident in
cities Of 5000 and over, as against 68.5
per cent in 1900 and so per cent in
1890. The gain Of population in cities
Of 5000 and over. since 1900, has been
1s2e.107. and outside Of cities Of 5000
and over 5,2TS persons. From 1890 10
1900 there was an actual loss OF popuIa-
t1or outside the cities OF 5000 and over
The state increased its population, 10000
1-265.720 persons, and places of 5000 in
Fa abitants or more increased their popuIa-
ton 1,3S0165.
TabuIating all the matter hitherto sent
out. and placing the populations, 1910, Of
unaunounced places at the same figures as
obtained in 1900. the population Of the
state 1919 and 1900, may be distributed as
shown in the accompanying table:

From the Regular Correspondent OF The Tribune.
Trenton. y J., Nov. 27.-When Woodrow

nor Of New Jersey two of the most monen-
tous problems that have ever confronted
new Governor will be awaiting him for solu-

taxation; the other the settling of some
grave financial questions, one Of which will
be the providing of funds for the paying
back by the state Of about $4,000 10 some
successful litigants.
For It IS not many months ago that the
Court Of Errors and Appeals declared IN
constitutional an amendment to the col

the state the burden of repaying the moneys
