CENSUS DATA WILL
 NOT AFFECT TAXATION

Washington, October u.-(Special0 ) That the facts and figures gathered by the enumerators, supervisors and special agents of the fourteenth decennial census will have absolutely nothing to do with valuation on property for taxation pur- poses is a point I desire to emphasize with all possible vigor," said Director of the Census Sam l.. Rogers today in speaking of the forthcoming 1920 enuner- aton.
 Some difficulty has been experienced in the past continued Mir Rogers "in getting absolutely accurate values of land and other property because of a certain amount of. confusion over this point Many people were enormously inclined to connect the census with taxation. We hope to avoid any such confusion this time"
 The act of Congress which, under the constitution, provides for the taking of the fourteenth decennial census makes it unlawful for any enumerator, special agent, supervisor or other employe of the census bureau to divulge any information whatsoever concerning the census re- turns. A heavy fine and possible impris- onment, or both, is the penalty prescribed for violation of this provision of the law
 The proper tabulated figures of the cen sus are given out nowhere but here in Washington, and then only upon the ex. press Authority of the director of the cen- Sus bureau.
 Actual work by the commentators in the various census districts will begin on January 2. 1920. {t is expected that the population statistics of all cities and towns will be gathered in approximately two weeks. Final figures for rural dis tr1cts, however, can hardly be gathered in less than @ month.

REPUBLICANS BRAG OVER SEVENTH DISTRICT PESJTIT

Washington, October u.-(SpeciaL)- The manner in which the republicans are using the "close" vote in the Seventh Alabama district, indicates what they
 would have done had the people of that district sent C. H. Kennamer to con gresS.
 This is from the official publicity buI1e-
 tin of the republican party:
 Republican leaders in the House have expressed the deepest satisfaction over
 the remarkable campaign recently waged by the republican candidate in tho Seventh Ala bama congressional district which resulted in the election of his dem-
 ocratic opponent by only few hundred votes. Together with the recent election of an additional republican member of
 congress from Kentucky in a normally
 democra tic district, the result in Ala
 ban1a is taken to indicate that there IS d sturdy corridor of republican strength extending from KeAucky. through Ten nessee and Alabama to the gulf. and that
 the day is not far distant when repub- licanism will predominate in that zone

SEEK TO PROTECT
 WATERWAYS TRAFFIC

Washington, october u.-(Speciai-)- Democratic senators do not intend leav- ing the commercial projects in connec- tion with inland waterways to the ten der mercies of their traditional enemies the railroads.
 The effort is now under way to retain the projects under the strong and protect ing wing of the government. Otherwise little doubt, in the minds of the senators, exists but that the rivers, by the rail- roads. would be strangled to death.
 The interstate commerce commission of the senate, framing the bill under which railroads will be restored to their owners and operated in the future. has accepted an amendment proposed by Senator Ransdell of Louisiana Under this ameidment, the rivers will be operated in the future by the United States shipping board.
 Senator Underwood. member of the committee supported the Ransdeil amendment, and Senator Bankhead stat ed this morning that he would heartily support it when it reaches the floor.
 They agree that the rivers would rare better under the shipping board than un- der the interstate commerce commission.

GROWERS OF CASTOR BEANS
 TO BE PAID

Washington. October u.-(Special)- If any Alabamian contracted with the government to raise castor beans for the production of oil for lubricating pur- poses, during the war, suffered financial loss, he will be reimbursed. Alabama raised castor beans, but not In the great quantity that Florida raised them. That state suffered heavy losses. For the beans furnished by the govern ment for planting were from India, and not acclimat ted Therefore, they did not produce as they would have produced
 in India.
 Senator Fletcher of Florida took the
 case to the state department. The de- partmerft was made to see that these
 Floridians who lost money at the in-
 stance of the government were in the
 same plight as those miners and manu-
 facturers who invested and lost because
 the arfnistice was signed before the
 period of their greatest production.
 The department will settle with castor
 bean producers just as it will settle with
 manufacturing and mining interests. This will not necessitate extensive litigation,
 which otherwise could not have been avoided.

MOVING PICTURE TAX
 WILL BE PERMANENT

Washington, October 1l-(Special.) )-I' looks pretty blue for operators and pa irons of moving picture shows. The peti- tion of both that war taxation be elimi- mated as far as they are concerned-fol both are tAxed-meets with disfavor.
 It is even indicated that the taxation will never be removed-that it will be made permanent.
 Following the day of the. reception by Alabama senators of telegram from H C. Farley of Birmingham urging the elimination of this taxation-ins which telegram he charged that the taxation was discriminatory as far as it applied to operators, and preventive of recrea- tional and educational opportunity as far as it applied to patrons-the ways and means committee of the House adversely consider this telegram >and innumerable others of an identical character from all parts of the country.

RIVER TRAFFIC TO BE
 UNDER SHIPPING BOARD

Washington, October 11.-( Especial To Representative Blackmon of the Fourth Alabama district, Walker D Hines, director general of railroads sets out in detail his reason for reject ing the proposal that the government operate a barge line on the Alabama river. a proposed project close to Sthe hearts of Mobile, Selma and Mont gomery
 MT Hines writes: Information now obtained shows that no equipment suit able for this service is available al the present time, and the only known equipment which would be suitable and which might be procured in. time will not be available for several months and not until the end of federal con tror as now contemplated.
 T feel that the railroad administra- ton is not in position to commit the government to few institution of such a service, and that the question whether there is to be hereafter< any service on the upper Alabama river to be operated by the agency now operat ing the Warrior river barges should be passed upon by the successor to the railroad administration in the opera tion of the Warrior river barges.
 Tn addition to this, I think I should say that our investigations do not in-  least for considerable time after it's institution, can be made to pay it's costs including the amount chargeable for the use of the equipment.
 T am told there is or recently has been private packet service on the upper Alabama river Perhaps under the existing circumstances the support of such a line by those interested in the~development of river traffic fur nishes the most immediate opportunity for assisting such development"
 In all probability. the shipping board will succeed the railroad administra- tion as the agency charged with oper- ating inland waterways. AS MT. Hines indicates that his chief reason for look ing with disfaVor on the Alabapla river project is the fact that control by the railroad administration will soon ter minate. it is pointed out that Mont gomery and Selma may carry their case, unprejudiced by it's present re- buff to the shipping board.

the committee, declared himself opposed l to the petition. He intmated a belief that the patrons should pay luxury tax and that the operators should pay be- cause in his opinion they are guilty of profiteering.
 Representative Kitchin of North Caro- lina, the ranking democratic member of the committee, and formerly its chair man, was likewise disposed to view the case Mir. Kitchin is said to adhere to belief that the taxation should be made permanent.
 The reports throughout the country are to the effect that all moving picture com panies are equally or proportionately as prosperous as those of Washington. As Washington theatres play to packed houses night after night and day after day, the people appear not greatly dis posed to grieve that the government makes them pay extra
 At that, the tax is a nuisance, as all patrons will agree.

Washington, October 11.--1SpeciaL At times, I become very tired of the Senate's way of transacting business. believe that we should have a cloture rule and attend to business just as all other parliamentary bodies do. I be- lieve in being courteous to every sen ator. But when matter of such great importance as the treaty of peace bends before the Senate, with the interes; of our country and the world at stake I think senators should make their personal engagements conform to the business of the country, rather than subject the business of the country to delay in that it might conform to their Down convenience"
 Tired of the endless and fruitless de- bate on the league of nations, and aware of the distress of the business of the United States and the world in general Senator Underwood thus ex- pressed himself when Senators Hitch cock and Lodge, respective leaders of the democratic and republican parties, moved to further delay. And the pro- posed agreement not only imposed ad- ditional postponement, but failed to carry a provision that at the conclu- sion of the period of talk" on the Shantung feature of the treaty the vote should be ordered
 As result of the statement of the Alabama senator, the indications are that the Senate, following four or five speeches regarding the Shantung fea- ture, will proceed to vote on that fea- ture. The efforts of the republicans to amend, will be fruitless, according to democratic prognostication.
 Further explaining his position to protest against endless debate which leads to nothing and cannot change a vote, Senator Underwood said:
 Tt is not my purpose to interfere with the management of the treaty fight in the Senate. l think the sena- tor from Nebraska has been an excel his side of the case, and~it is not my disposition to interfere in any way with his leadership, but I do protest against the pendency of the treaty be- fore the Senate an unnecessary length of time.
 T do not believe that the debate is going to affect any votes i'll the Senate. We have got to come to final con- clusion. If the treaty is going to be ratified, 1t ought to be ratified now, and, if it is going to be amended by the
 
 rope for further consideration the bet ter it will be for this country.
 From my standpoint I do not see that there is any justification whatever for further extended delay in the con- sidera ton of this matter. Therefore think if we are going to enter into an agreement concerning it's consideration we ought to have attached to that agreement an opportunity to vote.
 T am perfectly willing to enter into any agreement that will bring about a vote. I do not say that I intend to ob- ject to the proposal of the senator from Massachusetts and the senator from Nebraska, but I am not going to sit in my seat without protest and hear 1t intimated that the treaty can not be voted on because it is for the convent ence of this senator or that senator when it is not for the convenience of the country to wait any longer on the deliberations on this floor"
