OFFICERS Of CABINET
BLAME REPUBLICANS
FOR BURDENO Of TAXES
Daniels Charges That G. O. P.
Slogan Must be known as
Opposed to Covenant.

Rockford, H., Oct. 7.-Secretary
of the Navy Daniels, speaking at a
Democratic meeting Thursday night
laid the blame for present world
conditions at the door of the Re-
publican party. mot only have
the Republicans failed to do things
themselves" he said, "but they have
attempted to hold up progressive
legislation advocated by the Demo-
crats."
'In 1918 the Republicans won control
of congress" he continued. From the
day they organized, this congressional
Republican leadership has been respon-
sible for ali policies of taxation and leg
islation. Therefore, if there is any bur-
densome federal tax being collected from
the people today it is because the Re-
publican congress willed that the people
should not be relieved of such taxes.
In three special messages to congress
the president urged immediate tax re-
duction to meet changed conditions and
more than once the secretary of the
pointed out specific measures
which would lessen the burden OF taxa
ton which war had made necessary while
war lasted The Republican congress
had its full power to carry ont these
recommendations of the legislative de-
partment or to devise plans of their

"A further reduction in both gross

Treasury payments TO railroads under

Carriers have already received about

visions paid in the form of advances
against the estimated deficits incurred
prior to September 1. when the guaranty
expired. Mr.. Warwiek's decision held
that the failure of any road to have OBJ

of the treasury. and therefore that Sec

Chicago, Oct Woman by ma

address before the banquet of the

"In politics." the former senator
continued, men vote for some one or
for something. Women vote against
some one or something. \ woman
is more concerned in the defeat or
overthrow of what she objects to
than as to who or what shall be put
in a place. It is customary TO pre-
sumo women will be for any measure

that by nature. woman is not for

Director Rogers of the census bureau
in making the announcement Of the
country's population said that while the
figures were preliminary and subject to
correction the final official population
as transmitted to congress in December
for apportionment purposes was not
likely to be greatly different. although 1t
might be slightly larger through the
addition of population for small sections
of territory claimed not to have been
properly canvassed by the census enum-
orators in January and which are now
being investigated.
THE population of the United States
as announced" said Mr.. Rogers, is
105.6S3. .1Os as compared with q total
in 1910 of 91,972, ,266, and In 1900 of
75.994, $40. This is an increase since
1910, of 13,T1O,S42. or 1906 per cent as
compared with an increase from 1900 to
1910 of 1877 691, or 81 per cent.
immigration Fell Off
"The large falling off in the rate of
growth as shown by these figures is due
of immigration for more than five years
preceding the taking of the census in
January last. and in some degree also
to an epidemic of influenza and to the
casualties resulting from tbs world war.
"The results Of the census Of popu-
lation in 1920 at first glance may seem
somewhat disappointing and open to
question POSSIBILITY. but the substantial
accuracy Of the enumeration in January
is fully borne out by comparison with
estimates based upon the probable ex-
cess of births over deaths throughout the
decade aud the excess of immigration
over emigration.
Birth Per Cent Over Deaths
From all available data, it may be
roughly estimated that the annual ex-
cess of births over deaths throughout
The United States is approximately /
per cent. This rate compounded would
Indicate an increase of approximately
los per cent during the decade. Thus, |
he nearly 92,000,000 persons present
n the United States in 1910 might be
to increase to about 1O1,700,-
400 in 1920
Gain by immigration
in addition, the excess of immigra-
ion over emigration during the decade,
vass approximately 733,oo0. Since the |

bulk Of those foreign born persons came
to the country during the first four
years of the decade it may be roughly
estimated that the increase due to ex-
cess of births over deaths in their
families was about 10 per cent. Thus
the population of the country may be
assumed to have been augmented by
about 100000 during the decade
through excess of immigration over
emigration. The two estimates taken
together would indicate therefore Il
probable population of 05,So0,00o or
only small fraction of per cent more
than the total shown by the returns Of
the II census.
One-Half Is Urban Population
The figures of the present census
also show that the trend of population
from the country TO the city has become
greatly accentuated since 1910 and that.
for the first time in the eountry's his
tory more than half the entire popul-
alton is now living in urban territory as
defined by the census bureau. That is
to say, af the 105 1888. los persons en-
numerated in fourteenth census, prelim-
mary tahulations show that 54,Sfs,20a.
or 51.9 per cent are living in incorpor-
ated places of $500 inhabitants or more,
and a0,S66, 500, or 4S.1 per cent in rural
territory. At the census of 1910 the
corresponding percentages were 1913
and 53.a, respectively, showing loss Of
D 6 per cent in the proportion of the pop
ulation living in rural territory.
The increase since 1910 in the pop
ulation as whole as before stated, was
l4.o per cent but during the decade there
has been an increase in that proportion
of the population living in urban terri
tory of 1912, ,so6. or ESQ per cent and
in that portion living in rural terri
tory and 1,51S,016. or only 81 per cent
The percentages of increase shown
for the several states vary greatly, due
in part to the census which have been
noted as affecting the increase in the
population of the country as u whole
but also in part to the abnormal intern
al movement of population required to
meet the excessive demands of the war
