CROWDS GATHER DAILY
TO Get CENSUS REPORT
TOTAL COST OF CENSUS WILL
BE SIS, 0oo, 900, REQUIRING
YEARS TO COMPLETE.

Crowds gather daily at the cen
sus bureau in Washington to receive
the latest census figures, and then
comes the rush of newspapermen,
congressman and civic organization
to be the first to wire
the count "home." Announcement
of the city populations began Feb
ruary /, and about 900 have been
made. At least 1000 more city pop
ulation announcements are expected.
The population of the United
States will be ready for announce
ment some time in October, and it is
expected to show a total population
of about 100, 100000. State pOpula-
ton announcements are expected to
begin in about six weeks.
MANY Complaints About Count.
Complaints, protesting the count
are flooding the bureau, but IN two
cases only have the complaints beer
found justified. The 5000 clerks and
statisticians employed in the census
bureau use complicated machinery
which makes mistakes almost impos'
sible.
The bureau is almost half finished
with the agricultural and manufac-
lures census. The present census
is expected to show that there are in
the United States 100000 farms,
as compared to 100000 in 1910,
To complete the present census will
require at least three years, accord
ing to Director Rogers. The entire
cost of the census, including printing,
will be about $25, 100000. Approx
mateIv $4,000 enumerators were
REQUIRED to collect the ordinary pop
'ulation returns, now all in. They re-
ceived about 100000 for their
work. The results of the 1920 pop
ulation will be printed in IL large
volumes.

BANK In TENNESSEE.

PURPOSE is TO AID YOUNG PEG
PIE, PRESIDENT TELLS A
BANKERS CONVENTION.

MEMPHIS. - Tennessee's woman
banker, the only woman bank presi-
dent in the country, while here at
tending the Tennessee state bankers
convention, declared she would lend
to men in preference to some wo-
men.
She is Mrs. j. F. Runyon, wife of
a physician, whose financial institu-
ton is located at Clarksville, in north
central Tennessee. She and the
cashier, the wife Of the state attor-
ney for the county, are the only Of
ficers. All the directors are women.
"Men come to me, tell me their
business and borrow money!" she
said. "Our bank is only seven months
old It's purpose is to aid young peo-
pie who want to save, and that was
the prime motive for it's foundation.
The idea was carried out solely by
women, but man suggested it.
The bank has a capital of $4,000
and its first six months deposits ag-
gregated $4,000.
When called upon to address the
convention Mrs. Runyon declined
with thanks, saying she never had
talked to so many men.

GOVERNMENT BUSHES
WAR CONTRACT PAY
BAKER SAYS 5000, 100000 RE-
MAINS TO BE ADJUSTED
BEFORE JULY /, NEXT.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-War de-
partment officials declared there was
no real foundation for reports that
delay in settlement of army contract
obligations of the government was
responsible for tightness in the
money situation.
Secretary Baker said the policy OF
the war department from the begin
ming had been to adjust war con,
tracts as rapidly as possible, ana
that every effort was being made to
complete these adjustments by July
first.
The aggregate amount of the
claims originally submitted was about
S4.OOO,O0O. Secretary Baker SAID
that the amount still claimed on un-
adjusted contracts was about $780,
600 900. The total number of con-
tracts outstanding at the time OF the
armistice was between $4,000 and
$4,000. -
The total number remaining to be
adjusted is about 13 per cent II
this percentage is applicable to the
5000. 100000 yet to be paid. 1t would
mean that fraction over $10O,OOO;,
600 would be paid on the l,oOo
claims.

SEN. SMITH FOR One
TERM FOR PRESIDENT
WOULD ALSO CUT PAY TO $780,
600 ANNUALLY. $4,000 YEAR
AFTER THEY RETIRE.

WASHINGTON. = Two measures
affecting the Office and compensation
of the president of the United States
were introduced in the senate by
Senator Hoke Smith. The first pro-
vides a constitutional amendment for
single term of four years for the
president.
The second reduces the salary of
the president from SIS, 900 to $780,
600 per year, but stipulates that af-
ter retirement from Office the presl-
dent shall draw annually from the
government $4,000 for each year
that he lives.
Party Plans.
The single term resolution is in
keeping with the party declarations
of the democratic party and early in
the Wilson administration there was
a movement in both houses to pass a
constitutional amendment for ratifi-
cation. This was held up on sugges-
ton from the white house and the is
sue has not since been revived. John
Bassett Moore, the great interna-
tional lawyer, recently announced
that the single presidential terms
should be made effective.
Cut in Pay.
Senator Smith believes that a year.
ly salary of $4,000 while in office
and a certainty of $4,000 per year
after he leaves Office is the better
method of compromising the president
of the United States. 1t would solve,
perhaps, the old question, what shall
we do with our ex-presidents?" and
retiring executives with a livelihood
assured would not be compelled to en-
ter business or return to some. EN-
ployment possibly not as dignified as
should go with the name of ex-presi-
dent of the United States.
Senators representing the South
ern states, including Senators Smith
and Harris, have appeared before
members of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and urged the diversion
of traffic from northern ports to the
ports of the south Atlantic so that
freight congestiono at New York and
elsewhere might be relieved.

OPPOSES COMMITTEES
TAX REVISION PLAN
COMPTROLLER GENERAL w. A.
WRIGHT HAS READY HIS RE-
PORT TO LEGISLATURE.

ATLANTA.-In his annual report
to the legislature, copies of which
will be off the press in a. few days,
Comptroller General Wright renews
his advice against the plan of tax
revision recommended by the special
tax commission whose report was
submitted to the legislature in 1919.
The tax commissions plan was
published prior to the converting of
the legislature last year. Knowing
Of the plan through this publication
Comptroller General Wright advised
against it in his 1919 annual re-
port. The plan was embodied in
bill introduced at the beginning of
the 1919 session. The bill was re-
ferred to the constitutional amend
ment committees of the house and
senate and hearings were held. The
adjournment of the session found it
pending and it will come, up at the
1920 session as unfinished business.
Hence Comptroller General Wright
renews his recommendation that the
Legislature do not pass the bill.
Georgia operates on what is
known as the uniform system of ad
valorem taxation. That is to say all
kinds of property, both real and per-
sonal, are supposed to be returned
at their fair market value and are
taxed at the same rate. The tax
commission recommended that diff
ferent kinds of property be separately
classified and separately taxed. Thus
real estate would be in one class
with real estate rate; stocks, bonds,
evidences of debt, ETC., would be in
another class and have their rate ;
household goods, jewelry and other
personal belongings would constitute
another class and have their rate
and so on down the list.
Comptroller General Wright takes
the position that the principal defect
of the present tax system is the lack
of adequate machinery for its en-
forcement.
The comptroller generals report
shows total estimated revenue of
I$8,467,791 for 1920; total appropri-
ations by the legislature of $9,074,-
SIG for 1920, leaving an estimated
deficit Of $600,824 for 1920.

EQUALITY FOR THE
NEGRO IS. URGED
PROFESSOR OF NORTHERN UNI
VERSITY SPEAKS TO A
MEETING IN ATLANTA.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Settlement of the
race problem through conferences be-
tween white and negro leaders can
come only if the white race acknowl-
edges the equality of the negro race, >
declared Major Joel E. Spingarn, Co.
lumbia University professor, author
and veteran of the great world war,
at the National Association for the
of Colored People at
the Bethel A. M. E. church. Major
Spingarn proposed a new plan for
"beter race relations" through per-
manent commissions in the southern
states, to consist of five leaders of
the two races in each state, to be
chosen on "a basis of leadership and
not politics"
The duty of these state commits
sions would be to investigate causes
of friction, make recommendations
for legislation and promote harmony.
Spingarn said there are two ways
of dealing with the negro problem in
the south. One is the method of in
dividual leaders of the two races
meeting, which only can come "if the
white race acknowledge the equality
of the negro race" The other is the
economic method.
"When labor in the south is so
scarce that its lack becomes a men
ace to industrial development the
white race will yield to negro de-
mands for equality" said he.

THE PRESIDENT IS
RECOVERING SLOWLY
HAS AGED Fl YEARS IN ONE.
CONDITION is STILL FAR
FROM SATISFACTORY.

Contradictory reports continue to
come out of Washington anent the
physical condition of President Will
son. One day he is said to be regain
ing his health rapidly, the next he is
pronounced a confirmed invalid. The
latest report is that the president is
still a very sick man. Infrequent
automobile trips, which give the APP
pearance of recovery, it has become
known, are to be accepted in only a
nominal degree as indication of re-
turning health and strength, accord
ing to the statement.
The white house physician, Admi-
raj Grayson, is devotIng more time
to his distinguished patient than Fl
several weeks and there are at least
three trained nurses in constant at
tendance, it is said.
The presidents recovery, accord
ing to this report. amounts to but
little more than intermittent flashes
of returned mental vitality. Physi-
cally, it appears, Mr.. Wilson has
made no progress and he has aged
twenty years in the last year. This
statement is verified, it is declared,
by those who have caught recent
glances at the chief executive as his
car whizzed away from the city
throngs to quieter thoroughfares in
the outskirts of the national capital,
where he would be less observed. He
is but a specter of his former self,
and pale, and his coun-
tenance impresses one as the reflec-
ton of sorrow and depression
which the light has not
broken in many weary weeks.
There is no evidence that the
president has ever walked. His left
arm and left leg remain helpless, it
is said. While he has taken several
trips in the white house automobile,
no one outside has ever been able to
see the method by which he was
transferred from his wheel chair to
he car and back again. Cabinet
members will not be interviewed on
he question of the presidents mo-
,ility, as they have witnessed it at
he several recent cabinet meetings.

OLD AGE PENSIONS
FOR U. S. employees
MAT IA nary DER NEW LAW
TO BE w. DAYS.
5000 ELIGIBLL

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Work is
under way for the establishment of
system, under which 425,000 gov
eminent employees may look forward
to old age pensions under terms of
the newly enacted federal retirement
bill.
The first move was the appoint
ment of John S. Beach, New York,
thirty years a government employee,
as chief of the retirement division in
the pension office. He will direct the
work in the next ninety days so that
government annuities may be availa-
BILE for 5000 persons Immediately
eligible.
Here are the chief groups of gov
eminent servants who may eventu-
ally profit by the pensions:
City mail corriers, $4,000; rural
mail carriers, $4,000; postoffice
clerks, 100000; railway mail clerks,
21,OO0; mechanics in navy yards, 49,
600; employees in government de-
partments in Washington, $4,000;
all custom house and internal reve-
nue. employees under civil service:
The postal employees and mechan-
les can have pensions at 65, after fif-
teen or more years of service. Rail
way mail clerks are permitted pen
sions at 81; the remaining employees
at 70.
The postoffice department has APP
proximately 1000 persons now over
the age required for pensions
Among those of this class who re-
ioiced particularly were six men who
are more than IS years old; thirty
who are between 80 and 85. and $50
between rs and 80 years.
In the pension bureau alone, out
of 874 employees, twenty-siX are
more than 80 and the oldest is 88.
Those acquainted with the senti-
ment of hundreds of the postal en-
ployes declare that surprising por-
ton of the aged workers will not
welcome retirement; that they will
enjoy their work and only want the
pension law so they can look into
the future without worry.
The new law provides pensions
varying from $3.50 to $720 annually.

FEROCIOUS LION
CAUSES SENSATION
POLICE CALLED TO CAGE 900
POUND PET IN FASHIONA-

A full grown, bushy-haired hon,
weighing 900 pounds, caused much
excitement in the fashionable Hotel
Belleclare. New York city, where it
occupied a first floor suite with his
owner. The lion, owned by Thomas
R. Zann. a retired lumber merchant
of Leavenworth, WASH, arrived at
the hotel in a large canvas covered
wooden case. which was hoisted
through a window The management
thought the case contained piano.
Zann telephoned the clerk, asking
that fifteen pounds of raw meat
"the best in the house, be sent to
his room. The astonished clerk
called Albert Father, the manager,
who asked Zann to repeat the order.
When it was done, the manager
asked Zann what ne wanted flfteen
pounds of raw meat for. ITO eat
Of course" came the reply.
Waiter Beat Hastv Retreat.
The beef was obtained by a waiter
and when he entered Zann's room
The lion was on window seat, but
he sight of the raw meat was too
much. The lion made one lunge and
n a few seconds was sole owner OF
he beef. The terrified waiter in
formed the manager of his discov-
cry, and the manager told zann that

Then he went to a police station and

TROUBLE IS AHEAD
FOR The CANDIDATES
WILL FACE MANY DIFFICULT
PROBLEMS DURING SUMMER
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.

WASHINGTON, D. CT is going
to be a hard summer on presidential
candidates.
Evidences of this fact already are
beginning to appear on the horizon.
There are gathering clouds of trou-
bles, which will bother the nation
during the summer, and the presl-
Dental candidates will be called on to
offer their theories for solutions.
First there is excellent promise of
a nation wide railroad strike. Ac-
cording to excellent information OBJ
tanned here the railroad labor or
CARNATIONS are planning a strike by
July 1, unless they are given sub
stantial wage increases; not that the
leader desire a strike, but because
the men can not be held in leash. If
there is strike the presidential can
didates are going to be worried until
they make a stand in favor of OF
against the strike.
Ticklish Matter
Rather ticklish sort of propo-
sition, in view of the fact that there
are nearly 100000 votes among the
railroad workers.
The farmer is going to have his
troubles. this summer too, and they
are going to be taken TO the presi-
dental candidates.
Already reports to the department
of agriculture and the department of
labor show that there is a serious
shortage of farm labor, which is
making the agricultural industry one
of great difficulty, and the difficult
ties will increase as the summer goes
on.
The farmers are going to ask the
candidates what they intend to do
about it if they reach the white house.
The H. c. L. will still be with us
during the coming campaign and re-
ports received by the department of
agriculture, the department of JUS
tice and the treasury department in
dictate that there will be little allevi-
alton of the high living costs during
the campaign months.
Good for Hecklers.
This problem is going to be thrown
into the face of every candidate and
it will make excellent material for
the hecklers.
1t looks like an open season for
hecklers, and hecklers are the bane
of presidential candidates.
That there is unrest throughout
the nation is denied by no one. I'm
rest leads to heckling, and there are
not likely to be many campaign
speeches which will be delivered
without heckling.
ANY embryonic presidential candi-
date who is now preparing his cam
paign speeches might as well save his
time and energy. Set speeches won't
be of much value during the coming
campaign. Events are going to break
too fast for set speeches.
The present campaign, which is
gong to be a warm one, is also GO
ing to be a campaign of uncertain
ties and of new problems for the
candidates to solve each and every
day.
