Senate for &9I0.40, received BY me from him ~
being the full amount coming b me- under the
law giving to members Of Congress increased
back pay. I'll add q word, IL Il that What I "a
may not be construed to the prejudice Of others
For reasons, which Ideemed sufficient, Iyotod
against the provisions for the increasc or ala
rfes In every stage Of them-not excepting the
final stage the adoption OF the conference report.
Those reasons embraced several objections To
the measure, of which that to the iucreseed
back pay was but one. They had little II any
reference to the increase Of pay In the future.
iseActory to myself personally to decline the
amount to which / am entitled as increased
back pay. In taking this course, would not
be held as rejecting IN the least on members OF
Congress who see their way clear to the a1ioD-
ton Of the opposite course. Many or them are
20 well known A. honorable and disintcrested

Who know them best, rs to make It impSesfble.
