THE GALLINGER SALARY BILL.

The passage of the Gallinger salary
bill would mean an increase in the
salaries of many officials other than
those mentioned in the bill. There isn't
an official or an employee of the gov
eminent that doesn't think he ought
to have a higher salary. AS soon as
the Gallinger bill was passed the pres
sure for an increase of salaries of
other officials and of employees gen.
orally would be felt. Before the thing
was finally settled the cost of carry
ing on the government would be in
creased far beyond what it is at pres
ent.
And 1t is certain that an increase
in the salary of the President, Vice
President, senators and representatives
and cabinet officers wouldn't secure
ADLER men for those positions. Mr.
Root, for instance, gave UP his law
practice for several years-a practice
worth, it is said, 100000 a year. to
accept the Office of Secretary of War
at $4,000 a year. 1t was the honor
that induced him to make such a
large pecuniary sacrifice, and it may
be, also, that he desired to give a
few years of his life to the service
of his country. But If a cabinet Off
GERS salary had been $4,000, the
amount fixed by the Gallinger bill,
he wouldn't have been more willing
than he was to accept the office. The
great offices of the government are
not sought for the money there is
in them, but for the honor, and If
the salaries attached to them were
five times as great as they are they
wouldn't attract men in any respect
better fitted to fill them.
There is no doubt of course that a
senator or a representative finds II
pretty hard to live upon his salary
but that is not because his clothes
and food cost more than they did
when a eongressman's pay was IS a
day, but because the style of living
has become more costly. If a senator
or representative keeps house he is ex-
pected to live in considerable style
and entertain a great deal. The style
/ anu the dIG N1lcll bdhC Tx
money. In Washington at present
there are many rich families, and they
set the pace for congressman. Unless
congressman has private means hi
has to be content with very modest
apartments in a boarding house or sec.
ond class hotel. 1t may be that ht
has better health and is able to Dc
better service because of his enforced
plain living, but he doesn't like it
and his wife doesn't like it. They
want to be in the swim. as il were
and hence the Gallinger bill calling fol-
an increase in salary.
OF course the nation is rich enough
to pay more to it's President ano
congressman, but If it does pay then
more there are others. thousands Of
them, who will want more pay. Be.
sides, the tendency of the bill would
be to make those outside of officia
life who work for salaries and wage.
dissatisfied with their compensation
There would be a movement for In.
creased pay all along the line.
