DON'T BE AFRAID OF HIM.

If one may judge from the prepara-
ton made, there is belief in Washing
ton that the people of the United States
are afraid of the census taker. And
every one-preachers, teachers, editors
and ali and several the molders of
thoughts urged TO assure the citizen
that there is no danger to be appre-
hended
OF course there is no danger. Tell
the census taker all he wants to know.
Give him a fair statement of your
riches if he asks you. Answer his every
question. Do not be afraid of finding
your answer there confronting you in
some other channel of life. The busi-
ness of the census taker is to get at to-
tails. Individual answers are sacredIy
and privately preserved. But the nation
cannot know its possessions, its activi-

RAIN WAS NEEDED.

The bareback came soon after the
official advent of spring. While the
downpour of rain, with snow on the
side, was not entirely appreciated by
the town folk, it certainly was well
coined on the truck farms and ranches
dotting the great Utah valleys. Much
moisture is required for the production
of crops in any country. The range
also needs sprinkling from the clouds
once in a while to insure food for the
livestock. So the rain was probably
worth many thousands of dollars to
Utah.
For the sake of the dear ones who
have been able to purchase their spring
finery, we do hope Sunday will be fair
and warm, and that the Easter process
sion, both to and from church, will be
more than ordinarily attractive
Weather man, take notice.

Utah bankers didn't oppose the postal
savings-bank bill. It is curious to note
that the American Bankers association
is fighting the measure at Washington.
Their strongest objection is that if these
banks are established, much money will
be withdrawn from other banks. That
is hardly likely, since the rate of in
terest proposed is lower than the state
and national banks now pay. Unless
the withdrawal would be caused by the
belief Of the depositor that money in
the postal banks would be safer. And
we are not prepared to say that any
bank is unsafe.

STORES OF GOLD.

Wall street is beginning to speculate
upon the probability of gold exports to
Europe before many weeks have
passed. Just at present there is a
great abundance of the yellow metal in
this country, and If an export move
ment were to set in no great amount
of harm would be done; it would come
back very shortly after the next har-
vest. 1t is not generally known that
the United States treasury holds more
gold than any other institution in the
world. 1t is a fact. nevertheless. AT
the present time $40 S4,OOOOO0 in gold
is stored in the vaults where Uncle
Sam keeps his cash. OF this amount
SSH, 900, 900 is held against gold certifi-
Gates in circulation. $15O,000.O00 as re-
serve against the greenbacks, and So
900, 900 in unpledged treasury surplus.
The Bank of Russia is next in line,
with s71S, $50 900, of which part is Sc
curity for $50, 000,O 900 outstanding notes.
Then comes the Bank of France with
S7O7, 0OO, 900 gold, held largely against
notes. The Bank of Austria-Hungary
has s2S5, 000, 900, the Bank of Germany
s179, S25, 900, and the Bank of England
SIP, 545, 900. With such a relatively
small holding of gold British credit is
upheld and London is the financial CEN
ter of the world.
After bordering over the figures one
is inclined to agree with Senator AL
drich that it is high time We learned
something about currency in this coun-
try. Until we do we shall be subor-
dinate to the money centers Of Europe,
Notwithstanding the great natural re-
sources of the United States and the
vast hoard of gold in the treasury.

ties, its preferences and its aims unless
the people tell.
Early in April the enumeration will
begin. What the census taker asks he
is required to ask. 1t is no inquisitive-
ness of his own. but a question which
his employer, the government-his gov
eminent and yours-believes is essen
tial, and should be answered.
Tell him whatever he wants to know.

that the editors of the country and

galleries joined with the senators in
general hilarity.
Senator Young lectured the grave
and diWntied senators from the
standpoint Of an editor, which he is
in private life. and then made an
attack on his colleague, Senator
Cummins, who seeks the passage of
a concurrent resolution changing
he rules OF the Senate and the
house so as to permit piece-meal
revision of the Payne Aldrich tariff
law.
Mr.. Young opposed all efforts at
revision of the existing tariff, be-
cause, as he contended. the law pro-
lects the farmer. He had great fear,
he said, that Ultimately the adoption
of the Cummin,' resolution would
prove injurious to the great agricul-
| tural interests.
