FROM the ASeN IN z Ou -OAZtlle
There has been row in the Legisla
tu,e over the question OF miieuge. aud
for time il was thought that tie
question would lead 10 pistols and
coffee. But il ha- been settled AMIGA
bly,, aud yet The Question recurs Is not
fifteen cents per mile more than it
costs members 10 get to Fraukfort2
Tie railroads are not allowed 10 charge
more than three-reuts per mile aud
other modes of conveyance are DOT
very much higher The compensa
tiun OF members should be definite
and fixed. for it does seem that the
virture OF the average legislator is not
above the temptation OF stretching the
distance from his home to the Capital
a little beyond what it actually Is.
when the compensation is fifteen cents
per mile for such stretch. Let the
members pay themselves fair com
