While this bill was before the Senate and during the discussion the Senator from Missouri and myself held some difference of opinion in relation to the matter. and afterwards I took pains to examine the census reports to see what is the fact. What the Senator has stated is undoubtedly true about the trend of population from the rural communities to the cities. In.New England. I think. the census of 1910 shows that during the 10 preceding years our.cities had increased a million in population while the country districts had decreased something like 25.000. But that increase in the city popullation was not altogether from the country. thelrger proportion of It was from immigration. I wanted to cite right here the official figures. if the Senator will permit me to do it.
