Among the officers to be elected In
the city the coming election is Il city
assessor. A discussion of the per.
sonal qualifications desirable In this
official ia not necessary at this time,
but there is another question that
should be considered. For several
years the pay for the two months,
work of assessing has been placed
at practically a whole years wages,
and men have received from 81 to SO
a day for work, when their abilities
would not command 81 so day in
any other. occupation. While we
will not claim that $1.50 a day is
pay enough for the assessor, we do
claim that the city has been paying
much more than was necessary or
warranted. The assessor always
makes the plea that last year. so
many hundred dollars was paid,
and it ia unfair to discriminate
against him by paying less, ETC., etc.
The council always feels delicate
about showing q disposition to paw
one assessor less than his predeces-
sor received, or to make a mans
wages much less one year than they
were before. While probably there
is not q taxpayer in the city but
who realizes that the Office of asses
sor has commanded too high a sal
airy in the past, the council has not
vet existed that cared to make the
radical reduction in the salary that
should be made. Is there any way
the public can be assured that next
year the salary will be nearer what
it should? There is not much doubt
but the council would be pleased ii 1t
could be understood that the next
assessor would not expect more
than reasonable compensation fol-
his time, and that he would not re-
fer to the high wages Of past years
as a proper precedent to establish
the amount of the reasonable com
pensation." -...

The st. Paul Globe is holding the
Pioneer Press up to public view as
an enemy OF the public schools be-
cause the P. p. endorsed q smaller
appropriation than usual for the
st. Paul schools next year. That
city has found a reduction in ex-
penses necessary, and the schools as
we'll as all other public institutions
must get along with less money.
The excellence OF a public school
depends on employing good teachers
but that does not imply that
teachers are not sometimes paid
more than their services warrant,
considering wages elsewhere. OF
course, it Is general rule. that the
higher wages are the better the
class of teachers that can be oh
tanned, but even there limit is
necessary, and at some period the
question comes up as to how much
money a community can tax itself
for in orde- to secure the teachers
that command the. very highest
wages. Because. retrenchment is
urged in school expenses is no
ground for charging that one is an
enemy to public schools.
