THAT the salaries of the American cabinet
officials inadequate has long been admitted, but
the fact has never been forcibly brought home as
within the past fortnight When President Roose-
velt offered the treasury portfolio to Governor Shaw
that gentleman hestated to accept it, not because he
doubted his ability to perform the duties of the
Office but because to accept and the public for
four years means to return to private life at the exp
ration of that time in much reduced circumstances
To put it in his words Governor Shaw will have
to commence life all over again.
Cabinet officers are expected to maintain a
certain position in the social world of Washington,
the precedent being established and the salary fixed
when it much cheaper to live in that city than it
is today. Consequently man must be independ-
entity wealthy, and be willing to lose money, to
accept such appointments. This is not reasonable;
it is not according to democratic deas and should be
remedied.
