Legislative Action.

The time has arrived and the finances
of the state is SUCH that action should
be taken to provide suitable salary
for the chief executive of the state.
Ween the salary was established for
the governor, Iowa was young and
poor state, so far as finance was con-
cerned, and it was thought that three
thousand dollars was q fair considera-
tion for the SERVICES Of the governor,
but now Iowa is one of the fairest,
richest, and most productive states in
the whole Union, and the taxable
property of the state is IMMENSE and
rapidly increasing, and the salary for
the governor should be commemorate
with the dignity and expense of the
position. It is notorious fact that the
amount now paid the governor OF
state is not sufficient to reach the Or
binary expense of the position and to
continue the pay as'ft now is, is viz.
tually to preclude the election and &C.
ceptance of the office by any poor man
tthllns establishing the practice Of eles-
ting 0NLx rich men to that oili. :, =
It is we'll known fact that ability is
not confined alone to the rich, but that
many poor men have been blessed with
brains, culture and energy sufficient to
fill any position, civil or political, in
the gift of the people, and the true
policy of the Legislature should be t9
make 1t possible for any man, rio. or
poor, to accept the call of the people to
the high and honorable position Of
governor of the state.
We do not wish to be understood as
advocating large and unreasonable
salary, but We do wish to he under.

ton to the high position of governor,
an amount sufficiently large to meet
