BASE DRAFT ON
FIRST ESTIMATE
And Not on Actual Registration-An
Injustice to the State of Mis-
sissippi.

From the reports sent out by the
War Department it seems that each
state will be required to give her
quota of men for the war army based
on the estimate of the Census Bureau
and not on the actual registration.
The statement isuued by the War De-
partment yesterday morning to that
effect has caused much comment here.
The statement pointed out that
those failing to register threw a heav-
Ter burden on those who registered and
that statement is true if that policy
is carried out.
Mississippi was fifty thousand short
of the Census Bureau. Michigan and
Ohio were that much above the estl-
mate. 1t was figured that one half
of one per cent. of those registering
would be drafted. Based on the above
plan Mississippi's percentage will be
greater than one half of one per cent.
and the other two states named will
be less.
AS pointed out here that does not
seem to be fair. Should failure to
reach the estimated number be due to
wholesale Sinking that would be
proper but almost anyone would know
that fifty thousand people in the state
of Mississippi would not shrink their
duty to that extent.
If investigation should prove that
that number in Mississippi were slack
ers then let the full quota of men
based on the estimate be drawn from
those who did register, but if investi-
cation proves that the estimated popu-
lation was wrong then only the origin
al per cent. of the number registering
should be drawn.
Mississippi's population is very lit
tie, if any, larger than it was in 1917
when the last census was taken. The
population now is based on an esti'
mated annual increase added to tht
actual population in 1910. The pei
centage of the increase yearly since
1910 is based on the per centage OF tn
increase between the years Of 1900 ant
1910, during which ten years Missis
sippi waxed great and prospered ant
knew not the boil weevil. Since 1911
the population of this state has bee'
a shifting one more or less and man!
Of its citizens, especially the negroes
have moved to other states.
! Very probably some Of the fit.
thousand wei the estimate registering
in Ohio and Michigan were some o
the fifty thousand who the Censu
Bureau estimated should have regis
tered in Mississippi.
!, If Mississippians have fallen shor
in their duty let Mississippi bear tn
burden but if the increase in her pop
ulation has not been correctly est
mated she should not be made to suffe
, while some other state whose popula
, ton was equally misestimated, thong
!. in the other direction, is allowed t
carry a lighter burden. Let the draf
be based upon the actual registration
