100 Years Ago: Points Regarding the 1910 Census

By Jim

With census forms due to arrive in the mail this week, as early as today, CM readers may find the following to be of interest.
"The law requires every adult person to furnish the prescribed information, but also provides that it shall be treated confidentially...

"The President has issued a Proclamation, calling on all citizens to co-operate with the Census and assuring them that it has nothing to do with taxation, army or jury service, compulsory school attendance, regulation of immigration, or enforcement of any law, and that no one can injured by answering the inquiries.

"It is of the utmost importance that the census of population...in this state be complete and correct.

"Therefore, every person should promptly, accurately and completely answer the questions...

"The enumerators will wear a badge inscribed, 'U.S. Census, 1910.'"
The above is excerpted from an article in the April 13, 1910 Adair County News. The President at the time was Republican William Howard Taft, who served 1909-1913.
