,,w--- ---u Z fUtzRATOR'S RATES OF PAI 0ensus Director Durand Establishel a Cwsification of the Compen sation of Census Takers. Washington, D. C., Jan. 22, 1910 -The varying wage scales in differ eat parts of the country and- the dif ferences in the nature and extent o: the local difficulties confronting th( mnumerators in the larger geograph ioal divisions of the United State have influenced and guided Unite Siates Census Director Durand i 'te adoption of a classification o, enmerators' rates of . compensation within the limits prescribed by th United States Census law enacted b; Congre-as. The different elasses of rates wil be so applied that in, general the av rage enumerator will earn substan tially the same actual amount in on district as in another, even thougl the population may be much sparse in one than in the other, with othe. conditions also different. Regard i paM& to the ~fact that prevailin, wages are higher in some parts o: I e country than in others, but, asid< from this, the Direeto'r aim is t< -adjust the rates s as to make thi earnings of enumerators substantial uniform. Where the per capiti 'mtes would not give, sufficient pay *e per diem rates. are prescribed 'The rates in general will be so ad justed at to give a slightfy highe aTerage -amount to the enumerator &an they received in 1900. Per diem rates of pay will be pai< to the census enumerators in th; aparsely settled rural districts o: Arizona, -California, Colorado, Idaho Montana, Texas, Utah, Washingtoi and Wyoming. The rate will range from $5 to $1 per Iday for the enumeration of th< rural areas outside of cities an towns. Six dollars is the highes rate authorized by law. The Director realizes that in man: ' iets of the far West it will b< possible to secure competent mei to act as enumerators at a rate o i9npanation less than that bein paid for ordinary classes of work i tW same area. Were enumerators i eh distriets paid only on the pe 'ta basis, their compensatio ould be unreasonably low. The enumerators in the thinly in ited country sections of Nort] -ota, South Dakota, Nebraska an< sas also will be compensated oi per diem. basis. Certain difficult o ly settled enumeration &i ets in'.t'ber states will be include< nig those to which the per diet will apply, as the conditions o enumeration will be such that a1 erator could not make fair earn sat any of ,the per -eapita rate blished. This announcement was made b; Census Director Durand to-day, i: .rder to counteract the deterrent ef Sfet upon applic-ations for enumer ators' places in the far west ~an sothwest states of the widely eireu lad;ed and& erroneous statement the per capita rates of .pay were to b ti:ren in the sparsely populated re os namned.
