DUTIES OF CENSUS
TAKERS DEFINED

Each applicant is furnished with
an illustrative example of the manner
of filing the population schedule and,
in country districts, with copy of the
agricultural schedule to which, in the
main, the work of the census enumer-
ators is confined. These forms of SEIZED.
ules are furnished for the information
of the applicant and should be studied
and preserved for use in connection
with the examination referred to in
the preceding paragraph.
ut will be necessary for each
enumeration, before entering upon his
duties, to receive commission, under
the hand of the supervisor of the dis.
trict to, which he belongs, and to take
and subscribe an oath or affirmation that
he will faithfully discharge all the
duties required of him under the law.
"The census act also provides that
an enumerator, after accepting an APP
pointment and qualifying for the work,
can not, without justiiable cause re-
fuse or neglect to perform the duties of
the position; and he will further be re-
quired to devote his entire working
time to the census work during the
period of the enumeration.
THE compensation to be paid to
enumerators is fixed by the census act,
and an allowance of not less than two
nor more than four cents for each in.
habitant, not less than twenty nor more
than thirty cents for each farm report.
ed, and ten cents for each barn and
Enclosure containing livestock not on
farms is provided for all subdivisions
where the director of the census shall
deem such remuneration sufficient. In
other subdivisions the director may fix
mixed rate of not less than one nor
more than two dollars per day and, in
addition, an allowance of not less than
one nor more than three cents for each
inhabitant enumerated, and not less
than fifteen nor more than twenty
cents for each farm reported while in
subdivions where per diem rates are
necessary, because of the difficulty of
the enumeration, the enumerator may
be allowed in the discretion of the di.
rector a compensation of not less than
three nor more than six dollars per day
of eight hours actual fieldwork each.
Except IN extreme cases, no claim for
mileage or travelling expenses. will be
allowed to any enumerator, and then
only when authority has been previous
ly granted by the director of the CEN

Attention is also called to the letter
of the president addressed to the sec.
rotary of commerce and labor, a copy
of which is appended to the statement,
concerning the mater of political ac.
tivity on the part of census super.
visors and enumerators. In accordance
with this letter any enumerator must
sever his connection with any political
committee of which he may be a men,
Der, before entering on his duties, and
must refrain from political activity

the dim and distant past, and the gift
was hedged about with the proviso
that the right to the land should last
only during the time it was used for
library purposes. I. If the Y. M. G. A.
secures it, some appear to think, there
is nothing to prevent any taxpayer
from bringing the question up and ln-
sisting that the land revert to the gov
eminent.
For some time the library board has
been trying to get the government to
issue a clear and unconditional title
to the property. The matter was
brought up only in the last legisla-
ture, but it was sidetracked.
AT that time, Governor Frear gave
it as his opinion that such action was
unnecessary and that the commissioner
of public lands could issue a deed to
the property at any time, without the
legislature having to sanction the
transaction, while a recent opinion of
the attorney general is to the effect
that the title to the property is clear
and that sale can legally be made,
although the strings on the original
gift will still apply to any money real
lied from the sale.

WASHINGTON, December 10.-Unit.
ed States Census Director Durand today
issued statement defining the quail
fcations, duties and compensation of
census enumerators. He states that one
of the duties imposed upon the super.
visors by the census act is the designa.
ton of suitable persons to be employ.
ed, with the consent of the director of
the census, as enumerators within their
respective districts. 1t is further pro.
vided that such persons shall be select.
ed solely with view to fitness, and
without reference to their political par.
ty affiliations.
"The census act provides that the
enumeration of population and agricul.
ture shall begin on April 10, 1910, and
that each enumerator shall complete the
work. required in his district within
thirty days in the case of rural dis.
tricts and small towns, and within two
weeks in the case of any incorporated
city, town, village, or borough which
had 5000 inhabitants or more under the
census of 1900.
cit is desirable where possible that
the enumerator shall live in the dis
trict he is to canvass. He should be
familiar with its territory and the gen.
eral character Of its people
"The census requires as enumerators
active, energetic persons of good ad.
dress. They must be thoroughly trust.
worthy, honest, and of good habits.
They must have at least ordinary edu.
cation and be able to write plainly and
with reasonable rapidity. In general,
preference will be given to former
enumerators if they are at present
physically, able to perform the duties
of the position.
Each person seeking appointment
as census enumerator must make writ.
ten application to the supervisor for
the district of which a resident, and
said application must be made through.
out in the handwriting of the applicant,
and must be Endorsed by two represent,
| alive business men of the community
in which the applicant resides.
GAN applicants for appointment as
enumerators will be required to take
an examination, to be prescribed by tht
] director of the census, to determine
their fitness for the work. This exam.
nation will be of practical character
consisting chiefly or wholly of the fill
ing out of a sample schedule of popula.
tion from data furnished, and, in the
case of enumerators whose work will
be in rural districts, the filing out of
sample schedule of agriculture.
