result of the count in the census TAX
en- last January, the House, Census
Committee is considering legislation
providing for another enumeration of
the population of the United States
in 1925 or some. other year prior to
the next decennial census. Secretary
Hoover says today in that portion
of his annual report dealing with the
activities of the Census Bureau.
This proposed legislation has my
approval" Mr.. Hoover says, adding
that sit has frequently ~been con-
tended that the distribution of the
population as shown by the reports
of the Fourteenth Census is abnor-
NAL; that prior to that enumeration
there was a great movement from ru-
raj to urban districts which, since
the enumeration, has been neutraliz-
ed in large measure by reverse move
ment; and that this shifting of the
population affected the totals for Ger
tain states, thus. influencing the ap-
portionment of representatives in
