That Legislative Salary Grab.

The members of the Illinois general
assembly Il few years ago received n
salary of $35 per week while in ses-
sion. They now receive $1,000 salary
for a regular session of about four
months of three days each week. BY
Il bill which passed the senate this
week and which had previously pass
ed the house, the salary is increased
to $1,000 for regular session, or just
doubled. As there are 204 members
of the general assembly, the increase
adds 100000 to the taxes of the peo-
pie of the state. 1t makes the pay of
members of the general assembly ag-
gregate for every regular session
$4OS,OOO!
Precious to the salaries of members
of the legislature being fixed at $1,000
per regular session, the aggregate
amount paid as salary to members
of the senate and house was on an
average less than 100000. The pay
of members of the legislature that
met in 1897 was $176.199, including
mileage and compensation for post
age. stationery. etc. The mileage and
compensation for postage. stationery,
etc, of that session was $l6,063. This
amount varies but little and has been
drawn by members since the stated
salary of $1,000 per regular session
was adopted. So that the increase of
cost for members pay since the adop-
ton of 81 900 stated salary has been
100000 per regular session. The in
crease of regular pay under the law
which has just passed the senate will
be $364,OOO over the per diem system
of few years ago.
The people of Illinois are already
paying pretty dearly for the legisla-
tive whistle" Why should they be
taxed $364.O more than a few years
ago and $2O4,OOO more than at pres
emit? That is the question to be ans

by the traction companies to enable
them to throttle Chicago.
do not forget that the whole SER
vile gang at Springfield that does the
bidding of the boss and crawls and
tolls and grovels and sinks at his or
ders, the entire outfit is enlisted in
the corporation service, and does
Shiny things for corporation benefit.
do not forget that back of the
miserable machine that governs this
state are the corporation influences
and the corpora ton money that en-
ables the machine to exist, that feed
it and support it and hire it to do
things that load the name of the
state of Illinois with Disgrace
The Peoria Herald-Transcript says:
1.-THE fact that there were people
in Springfield who were breaking the
law is a poor excuse for the speaker
of the house to urge in defense OF
his violation or attempted Violate of
the constitution"
Similar expressions might be quoted
from hundreds of exchanges if space
would allow, and it is universally
pointed out as all people well know
that the constitution is and should al
ways be maintained inviolable what
ever the circumstances" may be-
Bossism is the nucleus of this dis
grace. 1t is the result of gang SOW
ereignty in Illinois.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1903-04-30
Lorimerized Illinois.

Bossism of the Lorimer type is re-
sponsible for Illinois present dis
grace. Lorimer's man Miller, gave
Illinois one of the most vicious exhi-
billions last week the state has ever
known. The state has had ample
time to study the disgrace For sever
al days the papers have been full of
it. 1t has been the topic of CONVEX
sation from Chicago to Cairo. From
the whole length and breadth of the
state there has come hardly a sin
gle voice from an intelligent person
who has the nerve to say that Speaker
Miller or any other official or indivi-
dual has a right to nullify the consti-
tuition. That Gov. Yates has attempt
ed to defend Miller's course has only
added to the prominence of it and
emphasized its unconstitutionality.
Hundreds of authorities have been
heard in this matter and on every
hand the constitution of the state is
quoted as saying in language plain
enough:
Article 4, Sec. 1O--In the senate at
the request of two members and in
the house at the request of five mem
bers the yeas and nays shall be taken
on any question and entered upon
the journal"
No provision is made in the consti-
tuition by which a speaker who
thinks" 'supposes," "believes" or
dreams" of corruption can ram the
constitution down in the dust of un-
constitutional conduct and trample
upon it. The copcensus of opinion is
that even had Miller been justified in
believing" there was Doodle behind
the Mueller traction bill, that would
not justify him in multiplying the con-
stitution for the time being.
The Chicago Examiner lays the
matter at the feet of the people in
this phosphorescent manner:
I'VE hope that all patriotic citizens
of Illinois are carefully noting these
amazing developments. We hope they
arr taking note of what bossism leads
to. We hope they see very plainly
the fact that in Illinois now govern
ment by and for the people has been
government by boss for the benefit
of boss and OF the corporations.
do not forget for moment that
the Indy bill for which the consti-
tuition was thrust aside was devised

They are making fun of Illinois
down in Texas. The Austin States
man says: There has always been a
rivalry between Illinois and Missouri.
Usually Illinois wins out, for there's
more of her to win. Since the Doodle
scandal attracted the attention of the
whole earth to Missouri, Illinois has
been actually sick with jealousy.
Hence no surprise will be felt that a
regular riot marking the breaking
out of the Doodle scandal in the Hi
nOis Legislature. Missouri will soon
be forgotten if Illinois can do herself

Upon a mountain in Andalusia quaint
spectral forms are frequently seen.
Whenever there is heavy mist and
persons are ascending the mountain
they appear in all their ghostly splen-

strike dismay into the hearts of those
who see them for the first time.
OF course it is all trick played by
the sun. When mist partially shrouds
the mountain, the sun is naturally OBJ

by projecting the shadow of any per-

SITUATION AT ST. LOUIS
DESCRIBED IN RHYME

Rock Island citizens remembering
how it was here about year ago
when the state &. \. Il. encampment
was held in this city will appreciate
the situation down at st. Louis now.
The rhymster of the Globe Democrat
puts the situation the st. Louisans
are finding themselves in in the fol-
lowing lines:
Hark! Hark! The dogs do bark!
The big bugs are coming to town;
Some with brags. and some with iags,
And all of great renown.
What can we do with this gay crew
So gorgeously bedight?
Wen make Il way for them by day,
But where'n they sleep at night?
With viscount in the parlor,
And baron in the hall,
y general in the pantry,
We viii find place for all.
Wen stow 'em i'll the attic,
Wen spread 'em on the floor,
Wen cram them in the closets,
And through the cellar door.
With a colonel in the bath tub,
And Il duke upon the shelves,
The kitchen fun of attaches
Where will we sleep ourselves?
Tut! Tut! 1t doesn't matter.
For we are hosts you see:
But why. oh. why did Thomas j.
Buy us in Eighteen-three?
