Pre-War Figures.

Washington, Sept. IA break In
retail food prices will be shown in a
price report covering the entire
country now being prepared by the
labor department, officials predicted

Unless spectators and middlemen
are repairing a harvest of profits be-
tween the producer and consumer, re-
tail food prices must now begin 10

has 2,7S4 FEWER PEOPLE
Figures Conflict With Congested
Housing Conditions.
State Shows Gain in Population
of Only 20,O26.

In spite of the fact that housing
conditions were never so inadequate,
assessors found 27s4 fewer people in
Shawnee county than year ago. This.
despite the recent federal report
showing that Topeka's population
independent of all suburban cities
jumped above the $4,000 mark
The annual report issued today by
]. c. Mohler. secretary of the state
board of agriculture, showed an in
crease of 20.O2e in population of Kan
sas counties during the last year
These figures gave the states popu-
lation at 1.77s.s1s as against 1,75e,-
793 last year. Shawnee county's pop
ulation seemingly was not a matter of
vital concern to assessors. The fact
that Topeka cannot provide adequate
living quarters for her growing pop
ulation apparently meant little If any
thing. They found but 63,749 resi-
dents in the county as against Sc, ,533
last year.
Chamber of Commerce Asleep.
Topeka has made wonderful
growth in the last year The Santa Fe
railway pay roll is the largest in his
tory, and since January 1 the Rock
Island has brought more than 800 men
mostly with families-to the city.
Other industries have grown. Many
homes have been built and old unoc-
cupied houses OF years past remodeled
and made inhabitable. Large houses
have been made into duplex apart
ments and every roof in the city shell
ters inhabitants. When the assessors
first made their report it was ques-
toned and finally the county as
SCISSOR admitted the count was not cor
rect. But the city Chamber of Com
merce feh asleep and allowed the re-
port to go without correction or addi-
ton. 1t is Topeka's fault that such a
| disgraceful set of figures is shown in
the states annual population report
Gain Only la Per Cent.
| The population gain for the state
last year was but liza per cent, ac.
cording to figures by the assessors
Their record also shows a gain for the
entire state of but 4-s2 per cent durine
! ten years, or S3,45S. On the other
hand, a gain of e.64 per cent or 1O7,-
274 was registered for the last five
years.
Sedgwick county showed the largest
