CENsUs HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH TAXATION

Washington, October 7.--"That thu
facts and figures gathered by the emu
merators, supervisors and special
agents Of the Fourteenth Decennial
Census win have absolutely nothing "a
do with valuation OF property for tax.
alton purposes Is a point l desire 10
emphasize with all possible vigor,
said Directors OF the Census Sam L.
Rogers today In speaking Of the forth
coming 1920 enumeration.
"Some difficulty has been experience
ed In the past" continued Mr.. Rogers,
''in getting absolutely accurate values
Of land and other property because OF
a certain amount OF confusion over
this point. Many people were erron-
eously inclined TO connect the Census
with taxation. We hope 10 avoid any
such confusion this time"
The act Of Congress which. under
the Constitution, provides for the TAX
ing OF the Fourteenth Decennial Cen
sus makes Il unlawful for any emu
merator, special agent, supervisor or
other employe Of the Census Bureau
to divulge any information whatsoever
concerning the census returns. A
heavy fine and possible Imprisonment,
or both, Is the penalty prescribed for
violation OF this provision OF the law.
The proper tabulated figures OF the
Census are given out nowhere but here
In Washington and then only upon the
express authority Of the Director Of
the Census Bureau.
Actual work by the enumerators In
the various census districts win begin
ON January 2. 1920. II Is expected that
the population statistics OF all cities
and towns will be gathered In approx
mately two weeks. Final figures for
rural districts, however, can hardly be
gathered In less than month.

WELL WATER FOR IRRIGATION


In southern California hundreds cf
thousands Of acres of land, including
many OF the most valuable orange
orchards, are irrigated with water OBJ
tanned from wells. Some Of these
wells have artesian flows. but most Of
them are pumped, chiefly with large
centrifugal pumps diven by gasoline
engines OF electric motors. Many Of
the wells furnish several hundred
gallons Of water a minute during long
periods OF pumping. A single well
may deliver enough water TO irrigte
a few hundred acres Of orchard that
produces annually many thousands OF
dollars worth OF fruit In the eastern
part OF the United States water Is
seldom pumped out Of the earth In
quantities 10 great.
Pumping Lowers Water Tabh

irrigation season must necessarily
deplete the supplies OF ground water.

the water level creeps slowly upward
again toward the high mark OF the
previous spring. The irrigators Of
the region, however, understand that
the valuable water supplies tapped by
their wells are not inexhaustible, and
IL is with no idle curiousity that they
ask how the water level of the last
spring compares with the water level
