The bill introduced in the senate and house Of representatives yesterday, pro- viding for an increase in the pay of the president, vice president. speaker Of he house and senators and represeota- ,lvss. will probably meet with so much opposition that it win fail oiPassage ys, t should by an means become a law. The only just iaul, to find with tbe bill is the smauuess of the raise it proposes in the salaries ot the president and ,be members of the cabinet, and ,be fact that it does DO, include mem bers ot the ~upreme court in the lis, of officials whose salaries should be ia- creased.
 The presiden. of the United States should receive a salary of slooooo a year. Several Insurance companies and other corporations pay that sum as a salary to their chieiexe,utives and the United States could well afford 90 do likewise.
 The salary of ,ab,ne, officers and che supreme court justices should be mol less chan s25.0O0 a year each.
