Entered as second--class matter October 13, 1916, at the post office at j Libertyville, lliinois, under Act of March 3, 1879. Issued twice weekly. PAGE FOUR The standard questions on age, sex, nativity, marital state and occupation are essential and the government may have some real need for accurate statistics relating to such fields as agriculture, irrigation, drainage, industry and distribution. But farther than this the census law and bureau should not go. It is certain that in the taking of the next census there will not be asked, as there was in at least one former census, questions of so personal and private a nature that many people felt justified in flatly refusing to answer them. Congress and the census bureau should not apply their genius to thinking up new census questions, but to discovering ways and means of expediting analysis and publication of census figures. It is not unknown for the census data to be wholly out of date and useless by the time it has been analyzed and published. We construe Tuesday's vote as more protesting method of accomplishing the proposed improvement than against any im-- mvtment whatever. Most everybody realizes the unsanitary structures now in use are a reproach to us. It is imperative we provide a county home for our unfortunates consistent with our own progress and well being. Surely we wish to properly care for the community's poor. . Too many useléss statistics have been compiled in former censuses. When the 1920 census was taken there were 29 columns in which enumerators had to make entries.' Perhaps half that number would have been enough. Now is the time when the cand--| idates have their ears to the ground. | After the election most of them . will have their backs there. | Just thmkmfi' it over, it occurs to us that a lot of this country's troubles come from fiappers and is hard to find, ;olll't zme&nel(i'n M'ine oca an olid-- wu:zoy? --£ Many a man who was drunk the night before tells his wif> tne next morring he couldn't sleeo for think-- buildings for housing our unfortunate poor, but there is a well defined conviction those buildings should be located in connection with the county hospital just outside of Waukegan or on some ten or fifteen--acre site that represents a value greatly less than the present county farm. It is quite apparent voters consider $250,000 is more than necessary to spend, when by adoption of either plan suggested between $100,000 and $200,000 could be saved. The supervisors will find better support of a movement in line with public will, and if they now proceed in conformity with Tuesday's vote expression it is quite probable a sufficient bond issue will be authorized at another election. : SIMPLIFYING THE CENSUS .. _ For future federal censuses the house committee on the cen-- sus recommends that congress leave to the discretion of the cen-- sus director the questions to be asked by enumerators and that there be a considerable diminution in the number of questions. Both suggestions have merit. > tations, it looks like a toss--up as to whether Wall Street is after the ali-- sSUPERVISORS MUST OFFER BETTER PLAN Tuesday's overwhelming repudiation of the ~plan sponsorsd by the Lake County Board of Supervisors, which contemplated expenditure of $250,000 for improvements at the county farm in Libertyville, plainly indicates public sentiment favors sale of the valuable Libertyville acreage and location of a county home on a great deal smaller site.
