The best paying Offices under the government
are In the consular service. This applies to all
federal Offices. elective and appointive, and to
al branches Of the government service, execu-
tive, Judicial and Legislative, military q. we'll a.
civil, and the Office Of President is included.
This statement may surprise the public in gen
eral, but the fact is well known to the legion of
ONCE seekers who have studied the Blue Book
for just such information.
The State Department has lust issued a PAM
hsss in regard to the diplomatic and consular
service, which throws considerable light on this
most interesting and timely subject A few
days ago The STAB published an article giving
salary list Of the diplomatic Offices. showing
range Of salaries from sl7,5o0 per
annum for the missions at Great Bri-
tain, France, Germany, Russia and
Mexico to $4,000 for the minister to Lii
IBERIA These salaries may be regarded as
pretty good, but they don't compare with the
emoiuments attached to some of the consular
Offices. The most lucrative Of these are in
Great Britain, but there are others nearly Is
good in other parts Of the world.
THE CONSUL GENERAL At LONDON.
The Office Of consul general at London is far
ahead Of all others. The salary il 5000 year
and the fees allowed the incumbent for the last
fiscal year amounted to s62446, making his
total compensation for the year minus ONCE ex-
penses) SCI. 4i6 or eli, i4s more than the salary
Of the President of the United States. which Is
the highest salaried Office in this country he
Is undoubtedly able to meet all has once e1-
pense. including the salaries of two deputies
and . clerk, out of this excess OF sli-44o ana

expenses of the consulate. intending
the salaries Of two deputy consrls
general amounting to PROBABLY less than
$40 600 There has been no change in this office
since the present administration came in. and
Mr.. Harrison's appoIntee. Mr.. Adam Z. King of
Maryland. Is still IN charge. 1t Is not likely,
however. that his tenure will last much longer.
1t can readily be seen why the two offises
named are regarded ss the best Offices at the
gift Of the President
NIB JUDD NOT so FoETCNArE.
The consul generalship at Vienna, which has
just been filled by the appoin tment Of Mr.. Max
Judd, while good paying Office, is not in the
