Census Figures Show No Great
Drift to Urban CenterS in
Past Decade.

More than one third .of the popula-
tion of the United States dwelis in
the larger cities. according to sta
tistics made public by the Census
Bureau yesterday
The 1920 census shows that of the
total population OF the United States,
100, 710.620 there are 54.314476 In
habitants dwelling In cities of $500
Inhabitants or more, and there are
81, 7,770,114 Inhabitants dwelling IN the
cities OF $4,000 inhabitants or more.
The report does not show any great
influx in population 80 the cities In
the past decade.
In 1910 there were 81 per cent OF
the total population living In cities
OF $4,000 or more, while In 1920 there
were a little less than 80 per cent.
The Census Bureau statement was
as follows:
According TO the fourteenth CEN

there were In the United States on
that date 2,7Ss cities and other urBan

His Busy Days

Now Brother Harding's days
are busy, he has small chance to
rest, or take joyride in his
lizzie, the sport he loves the
best; for every hour some
statesman dizzy arrives to be
his guest. All day the garden
gate is creaking, as statesmen
enter there, to do lot of tire
some speaking and springing of
hot air; and, though poor War
ren's nerves are shrieking, he
has to grin and bear. He signi-
fed that he was willing to hear
the views of men, and now the
Windy Jina go drilling to bore
him in his den, expounding, in
their language thrilling, the
whichness of the when. And
Warren oftentimes is thinking
of brighter days, l guess, before
Renown was busy linking his
life with such distress, when in
his shirtsleeves he was linking
his cheap old army press. The
patriots all day surround him,
and tell him what to do, and oft
their yammerings confound him.
and make him sad and blue; and
office seekers hunt and hound
him, and laugh when he says
"Shoo!" And as they jabber he
is dreaming Of brighter days
gone by, when appreciation
warm was beaming from Old
Subscribers eye, before the
whole mad world was screaming
for pie, and still more pie.

Report of House Committee
Declares This Is a Pre-
requisite Step:

Urging as a prerequisite step to-
ward the promotion Of merger or
the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company with the Capital Trac-
tion Company" the consolidation of
the Potomac Electric Power Com
pany with the Washington Railway
tive Norman J. Gould of New York
filed a report for the House District
committee yesterday.
The bill thus urged upon the atten-
ton of Congress proposes to remove
the prohibition placed by Congress
Railway and Electric Company
against consolidation with the Poto-
mac Electric Power Company.
In his report Representative
Gould reviews the history of the two
street car lines for the last twenty
years. He emphasizes that the COM
petition has been unequal, and that
after hearings and discussions for
many years the committee has de-
cided almost unanimously that "a
merger of the two great companies
is the only remedy for the unfortu-
nate situation which now exists.
The report also says that the COM
mittee has come to the conclusion
that there can be no equitable mer-
ger unless the property of the Po-
tomac Electric Power Company
should be included in the merger.
Expect Capital Traction to Survive.
The preponderance of opinion
the report continues. "is that when
the Inevitable merger of the two big
companies comes, the Capital Irac-
ton, Company will be the survivor IN
reality, if not in name.
"1f a merger should be made that
would include all of the property OF
the Capital Traction Company and
all of the property of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company, ex-
cept the power plant, then the
merged railway company would use
the power plant now owned by the
Capital Traction Company. but would
be compelled in addition to buy cur
rent from the Potomac Electric Pow
er Company. No doubt, the complaint
then would shift from too little be-
ing charged for that current into
charge that too much was being
charged for it,
'The bill will improve and strength
en- the credit of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company" contin-
ues the report, "and permit more eco
nomical financing of needed extensive
additions and improvements through
the creation of direct lien on con-
solidafed properties, rather than in
the form of a collateral mortgage
pledging the stock of the power COM
pany. 1t certainly is a prerequisite
step toward the promotion of mer-
ger of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company with the Capital
Traction Company"
