TAKING CENSUS OF OREGON According to oar custom and laws this is the year for taking census of Oregon, and the var ious State and., county . officials to whom that work is assign sd are now busy in the prelimin aries of the task. This we . be ieve will be the fifth census of our state taken by state author -ity.and.we indulge the hope that the manner of its taking and the resultant: information gathered wiU be a great , im provement on the four proceed- . To (ike a census that will be ot luclical use, and assist, our law makers, which includes every voter, in, Oregon, to for mulate just and equitable laws, is a tremendous job. Unless it is performed with intelligence accuracy and uniformity throughout the State, , it . had better not be performed, and the mouey it will cost applied to some useful, purpose. In this age, when economical questions are paramount, it is absolutely necessary that the law makers and the Executives thereof should kuow the number of the people, their vocations, capital employed and in what employed and the results of the . combined use of capital and labor, as ex pressed in the money value thereof. A census to be of any practi-r cal value, must of necessity be rigidly inquistorial requiring old maids to tell their , ages and incomes; old men . to , divulge their age and annual ? receipts, and outlays. In fact' a census to be of any use to our law makers should present a complete pic ture of our people and the work they are engaged in ' and the compenntion th"r rereiv there for, and wliethtr that work is carried on under sauitary, con ditions or not, , and, numerous nthes things including a clear insight into corporation doiugs. The census pages should .be a practically accurate, rigorous into which the law, ' makers or, our executive officers can look and see ' clearly how - Dreaent . i laws effect every interest or class of our citizens, and , from the facts therein presented have the data for formulating uew laws. So far as the facts presented by the foxptf r Oiegnn Q;HbU8es, they included so liitlo. aud omited so much that thev of- forded little assistance, either, to inquiring individuals or cou cientions law makers; and but (or the information contained in the U S census, which is taken once in ten years, all as- certions as to the number of our people, their vocations, pro gress literacy aud the produce of their farms, herd?, mines, forests would be but vague guesses and i 1:1 1.. . musk meiy reoeiyea as me . ex age rated statements of interest ed parties. It is important to the progress of Oregon that the actual facts and real conditions in Oregon be gathered so that they may be read by all men; but if the cen sus new being taken baits and does no give a full and practi cal picture jof onr - State, people and the vocations in which men and women maka- their living and accumulate something for old age, or to engage in larger Operations, then like its prede cessors it will be of little value. 1 ail For Bids Notice la hereby, gi?en that the ondenlsned will receive eealed blda 00 the following deacribed work and material: Va ana beiore e otiock pa Wednesday April, S 1906.
