OFFICIAL SALARIES,

The bill to increase the salaries of the
State officers which was before the Legis-
la,ure recently was defeated in the house
by vote OF IA to so. This will probably
put check to further attempts In this di-
rection fur the present, but the people
should not relax their vigilance on this
account, as the tendency among ficials OF
every kind and degree is toward more pay
for less work, and though strike wa-
never known among them they have been
remarkably successful in securing increas-
ed salaries. Upto 1865 the Governor Of
Ohio received only 81 500 yearly, and such
men as Salmon p. Chase, David Tod and
others OF nearly eqnai ability were found
to serve the State in that capacity. The
deprecated currency and the increased
cost OF living after the war was proper
reason for the advance OF salary. and il
WAS accordingly increased 10 S4 600 in 1865
There was an incrense in nearly all sala-
ries following the war which was proba-
bly, no more than just in many cases. But
now that our currency IL at par and the
purchasing power of the dollar greater
than ever before in our history, with wages
in other pursuits reduced to before the war
prices, simple justice demands that the
wages Of our officials, both of high and low
degree, instead Of being increased should
he reduced in equitable proportion.
High wages for the officials and low wages
for the people means the corruption Of the
one and the degradation OF the other, and
the protest OF every patriot and friend OF
| liberty should be heard whenever there il
an attempt To incrense the SALARIES Of these
over paid public laborers at the expense Of
the undergrad laborer in the private
walks OF life.
As a rule the higher the snlary the
smaller the amount Of effective w"rk
