The arguments against increasing the SAL

The arguments against increasing the sal
airy or compensation of public official
during his term of Office are unanswerable.
Persons who take a public Office do so with
their eyes open. If they are not satisfied
with the salary they should not have
sought the Office, and they are free to re-
sign at any time to engage in more lucra-
tive business if they can find it. When
they ask the people TO elect them TO an
office with fixed compensation there is an
implied contract 10 perform its duties for
that compensation To violate this inn
piled contract by demanding or lobbying
for an increase of pay is to break faith
with the people.

No doubt many persons were surprised to
learn that Senator Hanna had introduced a
bill providing for the pensioning of ex-
slaves. 1t turns out that he introduced it
by request" without knowing its real
scope. and was thereby duped by designing
promoters who expected to make money
out Of it. Members of Congress should
have learned by this time that introducing
bills by request" without scrutinizing
them is dangerous business.

Newark, N. j., June 24.-When counsel
representing the various interests in the
action to obtain receiver for the United
to-day before Circuit Judge Andrew Kirk
patrick it was the general belief that the
court might reach a decision this after
noon. -
Charles L. Corbin Of Jersey City, resum-
ing the argument for the defense, de-
clared that the reorganization plan recon-
mended by the committee Of which
George r. Sheldon is chairman was the
only loophole Of safety in the present con-
dition Of the corporations financial af-
fairs Addressing himself to the question
allegations contained in the bill and the
statements of opposing: counsel purporting
to prove the inability of the corporation
to pay it's maturing liabilities, were based
on hearsay evidence. He insisted that the
corporation was solvent within the mean
ing OF the statutes, and that under fed
eral laws the court could have no jurisdic-
ton unless it found incontrovertable evil
dence of both fraud and insolvency. In
solvency without fraud removed jurisdic-
ton into the state courts.
AS to the possibility Of carrying on pres
ent contracts under a receiver, Mr.. Cor
bin contended innumerable difficulties
would arise, any one of which would re-
suit in great financial loss. He was in
sistent that government contracts now in
hand should be completed without inter-
ference.
