CENSUS REPORT READY
First Published Copies Of Iowa Census
For 1915 Ready For Delivery-Valu-
able Maps and Charts Prominent
Feature of Work.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. Sept. First copies or
the printed and bound volume of the
Iowa census for 1915 were delivered
to state officials today from the state
document department. Distribution OF
the same will be made at once. 1t Will
go to the members of the legislature,
officials, persons making requests, IL
brarieS, etc.
The edition printed is not as large
as IN the past since it has been found
the number authorized by law was not
in demand One Of the important
changes is that while the major part
of the edition is bound in cloth, as us
ual. the library edition is in buckram
instead of half sheep, and the books
therefore look better.
The maps and charts included in the
volume this year are quite helpful 10
the whole work. There are eight maps
of the state, showing comparative facts
as to urban and rural population, dem
sity of population increase or decrease
of population, etc. An interesting chart
shows at a glance the growth Of 'popu-
laIon for forty-tiVe years, urban and
rural and the total population; and II
will give one clear conception of how
the state has been advancing as to
population and the fact of the urban
population overtaking and passing the
rural Another shows the comparative
changes in total of funds raised by tax
alton for various classes of purposes,
and it will be useful to all who are
making a study of the taxation prob
lem. Still another chart makes a COM
parative showing of the growth Of the
cities of the first class for a series OF
years.
One difference between the present
census and its predecessors is that the
question OF nativity Of population has
not been permitted to overshadow all
else In the volume of ten years ago,
the tables relating to nativity of the
population were very complete, but at
the expense of many other matters,
which have now been brought up to
a much higher standing than ever be-
fore. These other things relate to cit
les and towns, the movement Of popu-
lation education and school attendance
wealth and assessment of property,
colleges, state institutions, libraries,
railroads, insurance. mining, and a host
of other things.
Concise tables giving main facts OF
the census are given for ready refer
ence. and altho the book contains vast
~ more informal ton than any other Of
its kind ever published it is smaller
than the report Of ten years ago.

1oWA'S ADJUTANT GENERAL

BUT NOT PART OF 1T
Brigadier General crowder Decides
and Ruling Is Approved by Secretary
Of Notwithstanding Of ,Guardsmen
Leaves State Organizer on Outside,
According to New Law.

Washington, Sept. 7.-Adjutant Cen
eral Logan of the Iowa National guard
Is not a member of the guard.
This Is the effect of an announce
ment just made by the secretary of
war, who recently sent to Brigadter
General Crowder, judge advocate gen
eral of the army for decision the ques-
ton as to whether the adjutant gem
eral of a state, territory or the Dis
trict of Columbia was an officer in the
National guard within the meaning OF
the national defense act of June 3
last. ,. + a..
General Crowder responded by rul-
ing that an adjutant general was not
a member of the militia, altho nomin7
ally at its head, and his decision has
been approved by Secretary of War
Baker and so announced
The decision reads in part:
A National Army.
The National guard is to be a ma
tional army, composed of men who,
while normally engaged in civil pur-
suits and available to the states for
the purpose of local government, are
nevertheless federal soldiers, under a
special obligation to the federal gov
ernment and subject to its paramount
control, organized. trained and equipped
to engage in warfare promptly and eff
fectively whenever occasion shall re-
Quire. Congress has sought thus to
provide an effective fighting force for
the nation.
"Altho such functioning of local gov
eminent may be necessary 10 the ac-
complishnent OF the national purpose
and certain state officials may be
ever so intimately related to the Ma
tional guard-it does not follow that such
an official, tho at local law he may be
regarded as a military official, acquires
under the act the status Of an officer
of such national army
Appointed by Governor.
He is appointed by the governor a
other officials are, and is not general
ly required TO be chosen from the or
ganized militia, nor is he necessarily
regarded as an integral part thereof.
Like other heads of departments of
state governments appointed by the
governor, he generally holds office at
the pleasure Of the governor appoint
ing him and goes out of office with
him"
Adjutant General Logan, Is, however
head Of the militia of the Hawkeye
state-that is he IS the ranking officer,
IN charge of all able bodied citizens
ranging from the age of IS to As who
are subject to the call of the Iowa
governor for service. There is a fine
distinction between the National guard
and the militia Of a state, the former
being that portion of able bodied citi-
zens who are permanently organized,
while the latter is the entire adult cit
izenry who are subject to call for SER
vice.
