Letter from Angus Munn Cannon, Joseph E. Taylor, and John Nicholson, 6 February 1889
President Wilford Woodruff Dear Brother: At a meeting of the High Council of the Salt Lake Stake of Zion, held in this city, on Thursday, Jan. 31st, 1889, the subject of the compen- sation for labor performed by the Clerk of said Council of the Stake was considered. It was expressed by resolution as the unanimous opin- ion of the Council that the Clerk ought to be paid from the General tithing fund, for the following, among other reasons: 1st. This is the largest and most important Stake of the Church, the Clerk is exclusively engaged in performing public service in the interest of the people, and so long as he is thus engaged has no other source of support. 2nd. As the tithes of this Stake are paid directly into the General Tithing Store, there is no other source than the fund that can be drawn upon for the payment of a Clerk. In this respect the situation is different to what it is in other Stakes where the business of High Councils is com- paratively limited and Clerks can occupy much of their time in handling tithes and performing other duties
