GRUNDY ON
LOBBY

While the proposed cenSure
Of Senator Hiram Bingham
(R) of Connecticut, was post
poned by the Senate'S early
adjournment today, the lobby
investigating committee pr0bed
the farm relief aims of Joseph
Il. Gruudy, Pennsylvania po-
litical leader and greatest OF
all industrial tariff advocates
Grundy declared American agri-
culture could he stabilized by high
tariff protection and that relief meas
urcs have already l"en undertaken
by the Presidents farm board. lie
vigorously opposed. however, any ell
fort to reduce industrial rates As :.
method of placing agriculture on an
economic parity with industry.
Senator Borah R) OF Idaho, leader
OF the Senate tariff revolt, directed
the cross examination of Grundy.
Aided Idaho 6. o. p.
While Borah had the best OF an
interesting Debate with the Grand
daddy of all lobbyists" Grundy
scored once when he told of send
ing $4,000 into Idaho in 1924 to
help the Republican, ticket on
which Rorah was running for re-
election to the Senate. Borah de-
MED getting any direct help.
Grundy argued that If the same
rate of expenditure had applied to
his own State, the Republican
leaders would have used $501 900
in PENNSYLVANIA.
THAT would have brought on
another Senatorial inVestiga ton"
said Grundy.
Grundy, who was credited with
getting $500,000.0O0 of tariff in,
creaes in the nee. bill. said agrt-
culture could be helped in two WAYS
under the Republican party's tariff
policy. Borah told him to state his
position carefully because that's
the basis Of considerable debate in
the Senate"
Help American Market
"One way Ia to reduce the produc-
ton OF articles that are not now
selling a the price of comparative
imported foreign articles plus the
tariff, In order to equaliZe this pro
duction with home consumption,
said Grundy. The other is to in.
crease the American market for
other American products by exclu.
sion Of foreign manufactures. thus
making the organized purchasing
power OF the American people
greater for the home markets Then
agriculture can be helped too by re
lief through tn emea Sures already
authorized by Congress.
Grundv didn't agree with Pr"si,
dent Hoover that agriculture's prob
lem was the most important. He
insisted that many industries were

In an effort to sustain the

OF the i. ii. Smith and allied
companies by the issuance Of

Department of Justice late Yes
terday afternoon filed a brief
IN Criminal Court, outlining
the workings of the Smith
companies in detail.
G. Bryan Pitts and C. Ebert

Smith Company. are under indict.
ment on perjury charges in con.
nection with their testimony before
the referee In bankruptcy several
years ago at the time OF the bank
rupIcy OF the Hamilton Hotel,
which the Government alleged was
really operated and owned by the

The Government brief filed yes.

Smith Company of organizing many
smaller companies, differed by
members OF its own directorate fUr
the purpose of pyra miding loans.
1t also alleges that members of
the r. II. Smith Company director.
ate charged contractors bidding for
contracts TO erect buildings for sub
sldiarY companies as much as
$4,000 as gratuity for accepting
their bids on the contracts.
The procedure followed by the
F. II. Smith Company in the alleged
pNfamId1ng OF loans Is set out in
detail in the brief. The r. IT,
Smith Company would issue bonls
purporting to be secured by real

lied would be sufficient TO pay
for tile erection OF a building, ac-
cordlng to the brief, with an
amount additional to pay profit

Company.
A creature" company would
then be formed ana would Ia l<e over

ture' company would actually lie

placed in the same manner as the

brief continues, and for a still larger
amount than either OF the others,
In each of the alleged transactions.
the r. II. Smith Company would

sale OF the bonds.

I930 CENSUS WILL BE A
 BIG UNDERTAKING

The year I930 will of unusual in- tefest to all of us because it is the year In which the official census wifi be taken. All of us will beSglad to knonw how much the old town has grown in ten yeafs,' especially if sit has grown vigorously and we'll. An interesting story of the preparations ieing made for taking the census, to- gether with a history of our census takisg,, will be found in the current issues of the National Republic: It was writtens sby.William M. Steuart, director of the bureau of the census of the United States Department of C5mmerrs, unGerts he tile :"Uncle Sam to Go vis.ting."- In setting out the history of the development of our census taking in America, Mr. Steu- art says ip parts
 Some three ttpuapds wears ago King David Set cut Q number the people of Israc, and Jucah. It took nine moa:hs and twersy days to make. the couf.t, and .he returns showed 1,s06,00O valiant men that drew the sword.'
 At tite beginning. of our own na-- tional.7exisrenca, we took census ap- proximate,y equal in magnitude to rhasastaaeHta hys King David. The Uniteds sssates marshals, ,-s. to- whom, this taskwss assigned, were allowed thirteen months for the enumeration, aid returned total populat.on- of a little ess than 100000. The census of~ Pooufation was established as a decenniaf event by the constitutionsof' theaUhitel States, and is the onlycurs 1eht statisticalf inquiry which rests m such fundamental legal authority.
 Prior to T790, the date of the first census of the United States, little had.
The Kusko times., 1929-11-09

been done in any country toward es. tablishing regular periodic census of population. Since that date the nations of the world have been de. veloping methods and machinery that make possible speedy counting of the people and the accumulation at the same time of q vast amount of data regarding educational, social and economic conditions. The develop- ment of modern statistical methods has probably gone farther in the United States than in any other country and the director of the h. sus is required in one mon.h to ;enu- merate 120,000.O00 people and to ob- ''tain rather exhaustive information for about 6,250,000 farms, .14,D0a mines and quarries, and more. than 100, ,000irrigation- and drainage pro- jects.

Further, there. has been no other nation in which the increase in population has been accompanied bE such. improvement in the comfort and well-being of the 4peopls. As a statis- ticiany l believe that this advance ment has been due in no small degree to the definite knowledge we. have of our production, our resources, our fa- cilities for transportation and z our population, as. expressed in current statistics. It is the duty of the bu- reau- of the census to examine much of this information and give publicity to it so that eveev -ihdividual and every industrial and commercial en- terprse, big or little, may, havesit and. maybe in position to. make sure. of it."-Exchange.
