THE CEN SUS
Committee

Sioux City Journal-The federal gov.
ernment does some things we'll and
elsewhere it fails miserably. 1t is now
engaged in demonstrating how not to
| take a federal census. To the i'm
I partial observer the system devised
enumeration appears to be lamentably
! inadequate and inefficient to the point
of absurdity The purpose Of the cen
sus is to provide an accurate count
tain statistical information 1t is idle
to expect, however, that the present
census will be accurate in either par
ticular, which is to say that its tables
will be of little real value.
If the officials at the top of the cen
sus organization in Washington had
devised a workable and efficient plan,
or accept the services of vOun-
teer committees in the efforts to Sc
cure an accurate count 1t is moth
ing short of humiliating that such
committees should be necessary, and
that they should discover such abund-
ant evidence of federal inefficiency as
has been disclosed during the taking
of the census in Sioux City The city
has desired nothing more than an accu-
rate count of its population, but few
who have knowledge of the way the
count has been proceeding entertain
any expectation that it will be any
where near accurate.
The taking Of the census costs the
federal government millions of dollars.
If the work is worth doing at all, it is
worth doing thoroughly. If it is not
thoroughly done, and if the returns are
not accurate and complete, then the
millions expended will have been
wasted
The taking of the census is, or should
be. business undertaking The work
Of enumeration should be approached
from that viewpoint. and the force Of
supervisors and enumerators should De
organized on that basis, if satisfactory
results are to be expected If business
men or the organized industries were
to approach their undertakings in the
needless spirit which Uncle Sam
tackle the gigantic task of taking the
census, they would be laughed at fort
amateurs Worse than that, they
would be fore-doOmed to inevitable
business failure.
The federal government has been IN
the business of taking censuses for a
good many years. 1t has been al il
long enough TO have devised a work
able plan and an efficient organiza-
tion.
So far as has been observed in Sioux
City, the federal government is not
concerned as to whether the enume-a-
tion is complete. The only evidence
Of concern visible is on the part OF
the people of the city. as represented
by the Chamber Of Commerce The
should be so thorough.

CHINESE FOLD HILL SACRED
F4uan1 Shan Created Shrine More
Than Three Hundred Years Ago,
is Tradition.

More than 300 years ago IN the Ming
dynasty, a Buddhist priest named Pu
Men visited the Huang shan In the
South Anhni hills. He was charmed
with the place and became infatuated
with the idea of making ii sacred
mountain. A journey 10 Picking and
an audience with the royal household
resulted In an appropriation Of large
sums of money for developing this
fairyland OF the gods. A brass pagoda
was prepared for the first temple. II
was decorated with 1000 little Bud
dhas and WAS called Thousand God pa
coda. The temple whose balls II
decked was christened the Purple
Sand temple and IS now restored and
called merciful Light hall
AT that time, says the North China
Herald. hundreds Of priests came TO
the mountains, and there was a period
of Buddhist prosperity. Roads were
built 10 the tops Of oil the important
peaks. aud al least one temple was
erected far above the line Of perennial
springs.

NavieabIe Waters Defined.

There has always been more or less
controversy over what constitute navi-
gable waters. and the legislation set
ties this question by setting forth the
following definition: 'Navigable wa
ters' means those parts of streams or
other bodies Of water over which con
gress has iuri LECTION under its au-
thority to regulate commerce with for
eign nations among the several states
AMI which either in their natural or

rapids. together with such other parts
of streams as shall have been author
ized by congress for Improvement by
the United Slater or shall have been
recommended to congress for the i'm

Congress believes # has protected
the public by giving the commission
power to reserve sites where It is
deemed desirable. and by giving state
public service commissions power TO
regulate service and rates for cleo
tric!ty generated on government sites.
Power on the public domain and on

ment on water power legislation. Col.
Theodore Roosevelt, when he was pres
ident, saw the importance of making
appropriate use of this form of power,
and he urged congress during his term

Mr.. Taft, also pleaded for legislation
that would take care of the subject,
but congress could not agree. Presi-
dent Wilson when he came in took UP
the subject where his predecessors had
left it.

charges" There is a proviso that
when licenses are issued involving the
use of government dams or other struc-
lures by the United States or
