 General Shuts who, with the aid of

 ments, and have parceled out the best lands to syndicates or individuals
 with large capital. These have been cultivating their properties by their native labor system, which compels the blacks to work for the planters for very small wages during a part of the year. Under the new administra- tion this semi slavery will be abol- ished and the country will be reor- ganized much after the methods now used in Uganda and British East Africa.

DUPLICATE CENSUS
Director Sam L. Rogers Says
Aim Is to Avoid Work
of Other Bureaus.

Elimination Of duplication of work
sought in the taking of the four
teenth decennial census, sam L.
Rogers, director of the census, states
in his annual report made public to-
day. Efforts will be made, the report
says, to make the census bureau s
publications and statistics as valuable
as possible to the various organiZa-
tions and interests, both government
tai and non-governmental which
have use for them.
ITO these ends it has sought and
has received, in greater measure than
ever before. the full and hearty CO.
operation of other federal bureaus
and offices and of outside agencies to
whose activities the census StatlSCcs
pertain" the report says.
Increase of 20 Per Cent.
The revised estimate of the cost of
the fourteenth decennial census is
S1S,S44,O00. Mr.. Rogers says in the re-
port. This amodnt represents an in
crease of % per cent over the CORE
spending amount expended for the
1910 census.
There are several significant points
of difference between plans for the
taking of the fourteenth census and
those for past censuses. the report
says. Among these are provision for
census of forestry and forest prod :
ucts; Redistribution of clerical sal
aries; a provision requiring civil serv-
ice examinations for applicants who
are temporarily absent from their
places of legal residence: omission OF
provisions for securing information in
regard to Unemployment on census
date; change Of census date from
April Is to January l; provision for
mid -decennial census of agriculture
to be taken in 1925 and at ten-year
intervals thereafter; provision for hi
email census of products of manufac-
turing industries, and provision for
aScertaining the amount of incum-
brance on mortgaged homes. This re-
fers only to mortgaged homes occu-
pied by their owners of which, in
1920. there may be about 100000, the
report says.
Work Of Fiscal Year 1919.
During the fiscal year 1919 the bureau
carried on the compilation of the re-
suits of Quinquennial census of electrical
industries: completed the work on it's de-
cennial inquiries relating to transporta-
ton by water and shipbulding brought
well toward completion the preparation
of its deccnnial report on religious

COURT REFUSES DRY LAW
ORDER ON Mr.. LANSING

Justice Hitz of the District Supreme
Court has refused rule on Secretary
Lansing to show cause why he should
not recall the proclamation that a
sufficient number of states had rati-
fled the dry amendment to the Con-
stitution. Counsel for Robert A.
Widenman of New York. who sought
a mandamus against the Secretary of
State. noted an appeal to the Court
of Appeals.
The appellant claimed that the proc
lamation was issued before the time
allowed for a referendum in certain
states had elapsed and that the rati-
fication by the legislatures in those
states was not sufficient. Justice HitZ
held that the states may not interfere
in the method adopted by the United
States in relation to AMENDMENTS to
the federal Constitution.
