JONES AND POINDEXTER.
Spokane Mans Candidacy Will
Mean Mix-up in State Politics
Between the East and the
West Side.

The political arena of Washington
is to witness a battle between Wesley
l.. Jones and Miles Poindexter for
supremacy.
Politicians of the state agree that
two senators will never come from
eastern Washington. If Poindexter is
elected to the senate this fall, Jones
will be dropped two years from now,
provided in the meantime he does not
move his place of residence from
Yakima to, the Coast
This move is being forced by Pom
dexter's followers and every indica-
ton points to a battle two years from
now between Poindexter and Jones in
case the latter remains a resident of
Yakima and Poindeter is defeated
for the senate this year.
1t has been rumored that If Jones
moved to Spokane this year that
Poindexter would agree to withdraw
from the senatorial fight and be-
come a candidate for congress to sue
coed himself. The plan has already
been suggested to Mr.. Jones. This
would mean a political combination
between the two.-Spokesman-R Re-

ENUMERATORS' RATES
ARE DETERMINED

washington, D. c., Jan. 21-The
varying wage scales in different parts
of the country ana the differences in
the nature and extent of the local diff
ficulties confronting the enumerators
in the larger geographical divisions of
the United States have Influenced and
guided United States Census Director
Durand in the adoption of classifi-
cation of enumerators' rates of com
pensatiOn, within the limits prescrib-
ed by the United States census law
enacted by congress.
The different classes of rates will be
so applied that in general the average
enumerator will earn substantially the
same actual amount in one district as
in another, even though the popula-
ton may be much sparser in one than
in the other, with other conditions
also different. Regard is paid to the
fact that prevailing wages and sala-
ries are higher in some parts of the
country than in others, but, aside
from this. the directors aim is to ad-
just the rates so as to make the earn
ings of enum orators substantially uni
form. Where the per capita rates
would not give sufficient pay, the per
diem rates are prescribed The rates
in general will be so adjusted as to
give slightly higher average amount
to the enumerators than they received
in 1900.
Per diem rates of pay will be paid
to the census enumerators in the
sparsely settled rural districts of Ari-
zona, California Colorado, Idaho.
pfnr TfnI Hno Ht ~t<,,a
and Wyoming.
The rate will range from SIS to Sc
per day for the enumeration of the
rural areas outside of cities and
towns. Six dollars is the highest rate
authorized by law.
The director realizes that in many
Districts of the far west 1t will be
impossible to secure competent men
to act as enumerators at rate of
compensation less than that being
paid for ordinary classes of work IN
the same area. Were enumerators in
such districts paid only on the per
capita basis, their compensation
would be unreasonapry low.
The enum orators in the thinly in
habited country sections of North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Nebraska and
Kansas also will be compensated on a
per diem basis. Certain difficult or
Fparselv settled enumeration districts
in other states will be included among
those in which the per diem rates will
apply. as the conditions of the enum-
Grafton will be such that an enumera-
tor could not make fair earnings a

of productive industry the rate for
each class is 80 cents. For each barn
and Enclosure containing live stock,
not on farms, the pay is 10 cents for
each class.
Under the mixed rate, which is a
combination of the per capita and the
per diem, there are five subclasses al
phabetically arranged and the per
