CENSUS THEME
f BIN
Citizens Take Diverse Views
of Accuracy of the
- Count.
SOME UPHOLDING' SIGLER
Others Regard His Findings as Far
; Too Low for the Actual Xum- '
ber of Dwellers in
Portland. 1
Although some Portland citizens believe
that the .population of the city Is greater
than shown by the figures of Assessor
Slgler, there is a general disposition to
commend the care that has been exercised
In the work, and, while statistics of vari
ous kinds are referred to as proof that
the population has increased' more than
indicated by the census, others call at
tention to the fact that the figures agree
closely with the school census and with
the registration lists.
Complaints have been heard from per
sons who declared that no enumerator
.'has called at their homes, but In some of
these Instances at least it has been re
vealed that the family was enumerated
In the records. Building records of the
past fi'e years, postofflce receipts, school
census, directory lists and other Informa
tion that forms basis for estimates has
-been referred to.
Thinks Figures About Right.
Secretary J. D. Lee, of the Portland
Board of Tradtr. was inclined to accept
the figures of Assessor Siglor as not far
wrdhg. "We are prone to think of our
population as very much greater than It
proves to be whon enumerators -onake the
count," said Secretary J, D. Lee, of the
Portland Board of Trade. "School popu
lation is an authentic basis upon which to
estimate population and the figures of
Assessor Slgler are not at variance with
what Is shown by the count of children
of school age. In February last there
were 2elJ10 children of school age in Port
land, which, calculated on the basis of
4i to 1, the multiplication that has been
found approximately correct,- discloses
that the population of the city should be
about 117,000. This census did not In
clude the territory annexed at the June
election. It does not seem to me that the
estimate Is so very far wrong, and, while
the directory Indicates a very much larger
population. Its territory Is wider than the
city, limits, as I understand It, embracing
all of the suburban population between
Vancouver and Oregon City. In any event
It seems to me that we might well be
satisfied with the growth proved by a
census which Is not exact In the sense
that the regular Government census is
exact.
"It Is the easiest thine in the world to
fifld fault with a census. I remember that
there have always been strong protests
registered asainst the census of Federal
enumerators every ten years, and a re
count atked for In some places, but, as a
rule, I think the returns may be relied
upon. The Assessor, I believe, does not
pretend to assert that rtils is a complete
count, made with the thoroughness that
would be possible if the deputies who
have done the work had power to compel
people to answer their Interrogatories."
Registration as a Basis.
Registration prior to June, 1905, of 27,
986 voters Is pointed to as evidence that
the number of residents of the munici
pality Is greater than indicated by Asses
sor Sirler's statement. This, however. Is
generally admitted -to be a very uncertain
sort of evidence. In view of the fact that
the largest vote ever polled In Portland
was In 1KS. when the total population
probably did not exceed 75,000.
"Thare has been no reason to find fault
with the census of ISO?," said President
Wheelwright, of the Chamber of Com
merce, "and it certainly seems to me
ihat the increase has been more du-lng
the intervening period than shown by the
result of the enumeration. We have re
. celved information from a great many
persons who were not visited by enumera
tors, and have no reason to believe they
have been counted."
"I do not think the fieiires are high
enough," said Secretary Ed C. Giltner, of
the Chamber of Commerce, "although I
have not the statistics of building opera
tions or other information at hand upon
.which to estimate the Increase since the
Federal census was taken. Slgler Is, en
titled to credit for standing by the totals,
.even if It does meet with criticism, and
while it seems to me the deputies -must
have overlooked a great many people,
there cannot properly he found any fault
with Mr. Sigler for having, the work done
as accurately as possible under a law
that does not give the men power to com
pel people to answer their questions.
When the next Federal census is taken
It will be shown, I think, that the cas
tas exceeded the figures of this count,"
' r. Think 3Ien Worked Well.
"This is not a vital matter like the d
'jcennlai Government census." said J. D.
Laber, of the Board of Trade, "and there
fore has no real merit, being only An
estimate, after all, as the information
cannot be said to be thorough or com
plete. I believe the young men employed
lay Mr. Sigler did their work faithfully and
'.with care. I fall to see that any harm
"can follow, even if the count Is incom
plete. Cities are not Judged altogether
by numbers of population so much as by
the higher standard of citizenship, ex
- ,tent of manufactures, volume of trade,
shipping and ability of the populace to
accomplish things. "Between the two. It
is very much better for any city that the
count be below than above the actual
number of residents. Portland has made
a wonderful growth In live years that
promises to. be exceeded In the next five
by a constantly Increasing ratio, and
there Is no reason for people to borrow
any trouble over the matter of the census
just taken. '
"It must be remembered that about 15,-
. OOO people live In suburban towns outside
the corporate limits of the city, -who are
in every sense except political Imaginary
divisions residents here. They do busi
ness here, trade with Portland merchants,
''-.land a majority are employed or engaged
' 'in "business in the city."
. Directory Publisher's Opinion.
Mrs. H. M. Clinton, manager for R. L.
Polk & Co., directory publishers, feels
that the credit of the city is materially at
stake, and declares that In her opinion
the population is 135.000 In the city proper
and 15.000 in suburban towns and adjacent
territory.
. J1 went over the records of the As
sessor pretty thoroughly," said Mrs.
Clinton last evening, "and find that
some of the districts were merely skim
med over. I was informed that the re
turns are not nearly complete. As com
pared with the Federal census df 1900,
the number of names shown under the
letter A were 1183 then and will be
044' in the coming edition of the direc
tory. The ratio would vary, of course,
but that Is an indication. I went over
the records of one district with -which
I am thoroughly familiar, and found
54 names, whereas I am certain It will
fall very little short of 1000. Were it
possible, I should like to take my own
force and make a thorough canvass of
that district 'to demonstrate that the
population is much greater than shown
by the Count.
Thinks Figures Meaningless.
"These figures, as given out by the
Assessor, mean absolutely nothing ex
cept a veryv great detriment to Port
land. It is at least 25,000 names short
in the municipality, with fully 15,000
suburban residents, making the total
population at Portland 150.000."

rsessor Slgler. are:

What Charles Gram Says of Action
Against Street Raihvnv.
Charles H. Gram, president of the
Oregon State Federation of Labor and
organizer of the American Federation
of Labor, denies the statement credited
to him as having taken any active steps
against the Portland Consolidated
Street Railway Company arising out of
the attitude of the corporation against
tho employment of union men.
"I have not taken any action, be
cause it Is not In my line to do so,"
said Mr. Gram. Whlle I would like
to see the laws enforced. It is the duty
of the Labor Commissioner to attend to
such matters. I understand he is work
