DsIvs Into incomes.

Muscatine, April "a test case may
be made of the census law in Musca
tine. Several local attorneys who have
made somewhat of an investigation OF
the law with reference to the census
believe that the enumerators as well
as the state executive council have
gone beyond their authority In seek
ing information relative to the income
of those INTERCEPTED. When approach
ed by the enumerators they refused
to give the desired information.
Under the census law the enumer-
ators are authorized to file charges
against those who refuse to answer
the proper question and the bellig-
erent barristers are now quietly await
ing the next act on the part of the
nose counters.
Those who have refused to give
the information relative to their an
nual income claim that the executive
council is without authority to force
an answer to that question In that
the law does not provide that such
information be gathered.
Despite the fact that the statutes
provide that a refusal to give out the
desired information carries with 1t a
sentence of thirty days in Jail, the To-
cal attorneys who have withheld the
information feel that they are in no
danger of going to Jail.
The question which has been raised
here has been presented to Attor-
ney General Cosson and ruling from
him is now awaited,
