HOOVER IS IN FAVOR OF EARLIER CENSUS Suggests that One be Held in 1925 or Thereabouts Because of Dis satisfaction With last. Washington. Dec. 12. Because of a "considerable dissatisfatcion" with the result of the count in the census taken 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 decehnial census. Secretary Hoover says today in that portion of his annual report dealing with the activities of the census bu reau: "This proposed legislation has my approval," Mr. Hoover says, adding that "it has frequently been contend ed that the distribution of the popu lation as shown by the reports of the fourteenth census is abnormal; that prior to that enumeration there was a great movement from rural to ur ban districts which since the enum eration, has been neutralized in large measure by a reverse movement, and that this shifting of the population effected the totals for certain states, thus influencing the apportionment of representatives in congress." Census-taking in January is disap proved on the ground that the weath er in that month is a serious handi cap to the enumerator, delaying the work and making it necessary "to take unusual precautions to insure a complete canvass. The report says the time for taking the next census should be in April, as was the case before the last census. The change for tbe last census was made, it says, at the request of various interests 1 c 11 1 AJS I raaKing use oi aKricuiiurai Biausuts tne idea being that more accurate statistics could be obtained concern ing the activities of the farms if the canvass was made shortly after the end of the year to which it related. Mr. Hoover also says that the new director of the census. William M. Steuart, is of the opinion that in or der to advance the work of subse rrfent censury it will be necessary that changes be made in methods of procedure, if not in the scope of some of the inquiries.
