ENUMERAToRs' RATES OF PAY.
Census Director Durand Establishes q
Classification Of the Compensated
Of Census Takers.

Washington D. c., Jan. 81, 1910.
The varying wage scales in different
parts of the country and 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 guild
ed United States Census Director Durand
in the adoption of classification of emu
merators rates of compensation, within
the limits prescribed by the United States
Census law enacted by Congress.
The different classes of rates will be 80
applied that in general tie average emu
merator will earn Substantially the same
actual amount in one district as in an
other, even though the population may
be much sparser in one than in the 9TH
er, with other conditions also different.
Regard is paid to the fact that prevailing
wages and salaries are higher in some
parts of the country than in others, but,
aside from this, the Directors aim is to
adjust the rates so as to make earnings
of enumerators substantially uniform.
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 high
er average amount to the enumerators
than they received in 1900.
Per diem rates of pay will be paid to
the census enumerators in the eparsely
settled rural districts of Arizona, Cali
fornia, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Texas,
Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
The rate will range from IS to s. 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 dis
tricts OF the far West it will be impossi-
BILE to secure competent men to act a.
enumerators at q rate of compensation
less than that being paid for ordinary
classes of work in the same area. Were
in such districts paid only
on the per capita basis, their co mp nss-
ton would be unreasonably low.
The enumerators in the thinly inhab-
tied country sections of North Dakota,
South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas
also will be compensated on q per diem
basis. Certain difficult or sparsely settled |
districts in other states will |
be included among those to which the
per diem rates will apply, as the condi-
lions of the enumeration will be such
that an enumerator could not make fair |
at any of the per capita rates
This announcement was made by Cen
'us Diector Durand to-day, in order to
,ounteract the deterrent effect upon ap-
plications for enumerators' places in the
lar West and Southwest states of the
widely circulated and erroneous state
ment that per capita rates of pay were
to be given in the sparsely populated re-
gions named.
