THOUGH THE applicants for census emu
merators are numerous, and most of those
who seek appointment are educated peo-
pie, the pay is by no means extravagant.
The compensation is cents for each living
inhabitant listed, Is cents for each farm,
20 cents for each factory or similar estab
lishment, and cents for each surviving SOL
der, sailor or marine, or widow of one. In
sparsely settled districts the superin-
tendent may, in his discretion. increase the
pay to 3 cents an inhabitant, 20 cents a
farm, 80 cents factory, or Sc day. The
pay of the enumerator is not to be less
/ than So day. There is to be no allowance
for mileage or travelling expenses, except
where authority has been granted in ad-
vance, and no enumerator is to have more
than 1000 inhabitants assigned to him.. 1t
will thus be seen that the enumerators
will not only not get rich, but will earn
their money.

cisions of Congress, when dealing with the
Mormon question; according to the declara-
tons of the best constitutional lawyers who
have ever discussed that question in that body;
according to the admissions of the ablest and
most thoughtful journalists that have treated
upon the subject, it would be fragrant and
dangerous breach of the American constitution
TO deny u man the privilege of the ballot be-
cause his religious views or associations were
objectionable to the majority. This proposition
is elementary and any denial OF its soundness
must arise from sheer ignorance of the nature
and intent of the provisions of the country's
basic law which relates to the matter or
from reckless disregard Of the truth and con-
sequences. AS this ignorance can hardly be at
tributed to the members of Congress- it follows
that every one of them who may vote for the
STRUBLE bill, will do so for the reason that he
prefers to break the organic law of the land
rathe than permit the Mormons to possess
and exercise the privileges OF citizenship.

TOO MUCH PAVING.

AT its last session the council created
eleven sidewalk paving districts, and while
these are more reasonablein the matter of
size than were the former districts, they
are too large and involve the expenditure
of too much money. The estimated cost, il
round numbers, is Sl6S, 700 Now, we re-
spectfully submit that the property own
ers are in no condition to spend any such
sum of money for sidewalk improvements
IN one year or two years; nor do the people
demand or require any such extensive
paving. The council should take into con-
sideration both the necessities and the
circumstances of the people. In all
probability the general taxes on Salt
Lake property this year will be
more than double what they were
last. In many instances this increase,
which the law seems to require, will
be oppressive, and net a few people will
have TO practice rigid economy in order to
square accounts with the collector next
fall. To add to this excessive taxation a
heavy assessment for sidewalks will be
sspiling it on pretty thick" A good many
of the lot-owners will simply be unable to
pay the taxes unless they obtain the money
by mortgage, aud we suggest that it will
hardly be regarded as a wise government,
which imposes such high taxes that their
payment involves the saddling of debt upon
the property. 1t will be argued that the
pavement will increase the value of the
property more than the cost of the i'm
