CfFICIA1. SALARIES,

1t has been asked that the salaries 81
tile Governor and other State officials
be raised so as to meet, ut least in 81 nc
degree, the increased cost Of living
Thi, seems both just and proper; and
we are surprised to find IN the Winona
Rcpubli'a" an article protesting aghhst
any such increase. THAT paper reconi-
lnends Spartan simplicity in the d.
mestic concerns of those who are doing
the work Of the public, and asks them
to ">ay no more about TN increase Of
salaries until this crncl war is over !"
Here is where tao Inconsistency mani
tests i;self-it is the effects t;f "this
cruel war; that create the necessity
for the increase. 1t is we'll known that
Governor Ramsey, upon taking the Ex-
ecut We chair ut his first term, when
the cost Of living was not nearly so
great as during these times, recommend
ed the Legislature to place the salary
Of his Office Ut low figure, in order to
extricate the State from the financial
difficulties in which it had been plung-
ed through Democratic peculation and
extravaganza. TIE RECOMMENDATION
was accepted and acted upon in his
own case aud the cases Of his associates.
From that time the s.tlatics of all the
State officers, except, perhaps, the Ad-
! jutant General, have remained as then
| fixed. *@1i
The people desire to have their pub
lie affairs we'll and ably managed, and
for this purpose have placed in the diff:
ferent departments some Of the first
men we have in the State. Yet we arc
10th to believe that they would wish ia
keep them there on inadequate pay
asking the time, talents and energies
Of Governor for less salary tAah
suf6ces for his immediate wants. A
mechanic or day laborer receives high
er wages than he did three years ago,
and it is proper that he should but
| the same facts that caused this advance
| bear with.cqual force upon the case an.
der consideration. It is 'sthis cruel
war; that has doubled the prices Of al
most every article to be worn Or eaten,
aud has doubled the duties Of the State
