$4,000 is Enough,

1t is proposed to increase the
pay of United States judges,
members of the cabinents, sena-
tors and representatives. The
first Congress paid it's members
its members sc a day and 80
cents mileage. It was increased
in 1895 to 81 a day. In 1915 a
salary of $500 was fixed, but it
caused such a protest from the
people that two years later it
was reduced to 1880. In 1855
Congress passed an act paying
each member $4,000 year. We
believed it was during the Grand
administration that the annual
salary of senators and repres-
entative was raised to the pres
ent figures, $4,000. 1t is conten-
ded that the cost of living has in
creased and our statesmen
should be more amply provided
with funds to keep up with the
procession at Washington If
Federal representatives want to
live in style they should not ex-
pect the people to bear the bur-
den. There is ne reason why the
cost of living should be more
than it used to be. The great
army Of wage earners live with
less money today than they did
years ago. 1t is argued that big
salaries must be paid in order to
secure the service of men of
ability, but that argument does
not seem sound il we consider
the class of men who represent
ed this country in Congress in
Congress in the earlier days
when the daily allowance to each
member was $6. If a man can
not live with $4,000 a year he is
not the proper person to hold
Office in Republic. An annual
salary Of $1,000 is an adeq uate
compensation for the services of
any congressman or senator and
d deal too much for most of them.
1t Is safe to say that few of our
senators and congressman
would be able to earn $4,000 a
year outside Of Congress- .-Laf

DISCUSSED IN
THE HOUSE.
The Philippine Debate Causes
a Stormy Scene in
the House.

Washington, Jan. 23.-After
some further remarks by Mr..
Gambler (Miss) and Mr., Senor
Ind.) Mr.. Watson Qnd.) closed
the general debate with an hours S
speech in defense of the admins
tration's Philippine policy. He
denounced the statement, which
he said was made on the Q her
side, that the United States had
taken the place of Spair as the
despoiler of the p,- p,i,lippines. He
'-.uuced figures from the Span
ish budget to show that so per
cent Of all the revenues of the is
land under the Spanish regime
was diverted to the mother coun-
try. On the other hand, he said,
every dollar raised from taxation
since the American occupation
had gone into the insular treas
ury. He then contrasted what
we were dong in the islands in
the way of education and public
improvements with what was
done in the old Spanish days.
Mr.. Cochran (Mo) declared
that the attempts to subjugate
the Filipino people had already
cost the United States more than
enough to build the Nicarauga
canal and to construct 300 war
ships to defend it, yet the end
was not in sight.
