TEXT or rHE PRESIDENTS fETo MEssA6E-@
1T flFTT THOUSAND DcEIsdass ger TOO HUGH.
a PLEA FOR THE DIGNITY or rae 0rErcE,
WASHINGTON, April 18. The following il
the text OF the Presidents message, traus.
mitted to Che Senate on Tuesday, vetofDg
the salary bill: 4, ss, Ri =. 81 4
TO the Seaate Of .the United States,
Herewith return Senate bill No. iy2, en-
titled can set fixing the salary OF the Presi-
dent OF the United States, without nay mp
proyal. ~. . 4. ,., s.s, Is +. -.
/ am constrained to this course from
sense OF duty to my successors ii, officsy to
myself, and to what Is due to Che dignity OF
the position OF Chief Magistrate Of nation
OF more than forty millions Of people.
When the salary OF the President Of the
United States was fixed by the Constitution
ut S25, 900 per annum we were q nation Of
but three millions Of people, poor from q
long and exhaustive war, without commerce
OF manufactures, with but few wants, and
those cheaply supplied. The salary must
then have been deemed small for therespon-
sibilities and dignity OF the position, but
iustiiiably SO from the impoverished condi-
ton OF the Treasury and the simplicity it
was desired to cultivate in the republic.
The salary Of congressman under the
Constitution was first fixed ut six dollars
per day for the time actually in session-an
average of about 120 days to each session.
or SI20 per year, or less than one thirtieth
OF the salary Of the President.
Congressman have legislated upon their
own salaries from time to time STAGE, until
finally it reached $4,000 per annum, or one
fifth that OF the President before the salary
OF the latter was increased. ....l..s,<
No one having 4 knowledge of the cost Of
living at the national capital will contend
that the present salary Of congressman is
too high, unless it is the intention to make
the office one entirely OF honor, when the
salary should be abolished-a proposition
repugnant to our republican ideas and insti-
tutions.
! ] do not believe the citizens OF this re-
public desire their public servants to serve
| them without fair compensation for their
services. Twenty-Five thousand dollars does
not deiray the expenses OF the Executive
! for one year, or has not in my experience.
| 1t is not now one fifth in value what it was
when fixed by the Constitution In supply
! ing demands and wants.
Having no personal interest In this matter
! I have felt myself free to return this bill to
the House in which it originated, with my
| objections, believing that in doing so l meet
the wishes and Judgment Of the great ma
jority Of those who indirectly pay all the
salaries and other expenses of Government.
