THE 1920 ENUMERATION

"That the facts and figures gath
cred by the enumerators, supervisors
and special agents of the Fourteenth
Decennial Census will have absolutely
nothing to do with valuation of prop
erty for taxation purposes is a point
! desire to emphasize with all possible
vigor," said Director of the Census,
Sam L. Rogers today in speaking Of
the Forthcoming 1920 enumeration.
"Some difficulty has been exper-
fenced in the past" continued Mr.
Rogers, ain getting absolute accurate
values of land and other property be-
cause of a certain amount of confu-

were erroniuosly 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 taking the
Fourteenth Decennial Census makes
it unlawful for any enumerator, spe-

The proper tabulated figures of the

Actual work by the enumerators in

that the population statistics of all
