An act of Congress, passed in June,
1906. authorized the census bureau, in
cooperation with the bureau of fish
cries, to collect and publish fishery sta
tistics once in ten years, after the
completion of the decennial censuses Of
population, agriculture and manufac-
lures. The first inquiry made after the
passage of this act covered the year

Among the important annual in
quiries which must be made by the bu-
reau Of the census is the collection of
mortality statistics from a death reg
istration area containing about 10 per
cent Of the population Of the entire
country. Statistics of birth are also
collected from states having adequate
birth registration systems.
Since 1902 the bureau of the census
has published annual reports giving
Evening star., 1916-10-01

financial statistics Of cities of 10000 in
habitants and over. These reports give
a complete presentation of the financial
transactions of all cities of the size
specified, and the collection and pub
lication of these statistics have been Of
great assistance in establishing a uni
form system of municipal accounting
throughout the United States
Under the title General Statistics of
Cities. the bureau is now publishing
annual reports relating to the various
governmental functions and activities
of all the large cities of the United
States.
The census bureau is about to issue a
report, relating to the fiscal year 1916
giving financial statistics of states
The accounting officials of many of
the states have manifested a keen in
terest in this report. which will be the
first of its kind ever issued. and have
actively co-operated with the bureau in
it's preparation.
Statistics regarding cotton production
and distribution are continually being
collected and published by the bureau
of the census for the benefit of those
interested in this important staple,
and there are now issued annually
twenty-six post card reports on the
subject. Ten OF these are issued at in
tervals of varying length during the
ginning season, showing the amounts
of cotton ginned to specific dates; four
are issued at intervals during the gin
tonseed crushed and linters obtained
and twelve are issued monthly, show
ing cotton consumed, cotton on hand
active cotton spindles and imports and
exports of cotton.
The census bureaus statistics in re-
gard to the cotton industry have been
of great value, both to the producer and
to the manufacturer, and have tended
to minimize the effect of speculation,
which in earlier years seriously in
fiuenced the market price of this i'm
portant commodity. In addition to it's
regular reports upon cotton, the bureau
has been asked by Congress, the act be-
ing passed in August, to ascertain the
extent to which cotton is used in the
manufacture of explosives.
Tobacco statistics are also collected
at frequent intervals by the census bu-
reau and distributed for the benefit of
those interested in this product. Under
the authority of recent legisla ton. be-
ginning October l, 1916, reports, in the
form of post cards. will appear at quar-
terly intervals, instead of semi-annual-
ly as formerly.
These reports will show the number

program of what it will undertake in
the way of statistical Investigations be-
tween this time and that.
Tho principal lines of inquiry covered
by the census bureau are comprised in
the following: Population, agriculture.
manufactures, mines and quarries,
wealth. debt and taxation, water trans
portation, marriage and divorce, re-
Hgious bodies. fisheries, dependent, de-
fective and delinquent classes, electri-
cal industries, federal employees, births
and deaths, municipal and state finance,
cotton and tobacco. In addition, va
rious inquiries are authorized from time
to time by an act of Congress or by
order of the President of the United
States the Secretary of Commerce.
The program which the bureau has
outlined for the next three years in
cludes statistical compilations which
are in some cases supplementary to the
regular census inquiries, but in others
are Independent of them. Among the
compilations now being made are some
which will provide additional statistics
upon occupa tions, and particularly with
reference to occupations of women and
children. These will be of special i'm
portance as basis for legislation
regulating child labor and the employ
ment of women. Additional statistics
will also be compiled relating to the
foreign-born, and also the fecundity of
women of different nationalities.
i.
But the most important and the most
extensive of the bureaus tintercensa"
inquiries is the census of rnanufac-
lures. which. in addition to forming
part of each regular decennial census,
is taken IN the middecennial year. The
last such inquiry, therefore, was made
in 1915. The primary or fundamental
statistics obtained from it have already
been made public, and the compilation
of the more detailed figures for the
Anal reports is now in progress.
These reports will first be issued in
the form OF a bulletin for the United
States as a whole. a series of state
bulletins. and a series of bulletins, be-
tween fifty and sixty in number. relat-
ing to important industries, and will
later be bound together in three, or
four quarto volumes of about 1000
pages each.
In addition, an abstract containing
500 ovtavo pages will be published.
Some idea of the magnitude of this
census may be gained from the fact
that uniform reports had to be secured
