salaries of Statesmen.

At last bill has been introduced
in congress increasing the salary of the
president OF the United States TO $780,
900 a year. The bill calls attention 10
the fact that many corporations pay
their presidents five times as much as
the United States does.
The following comparisons are also
drawn: The president of the United
States gets $4,000 a year-the lord
lieutenant of Ireland draws 800, 900.
The vice president of the United
States and the clerk of the British
house of commons are valued at the
same amounts-S8, 900 each. The chief
justice of the United States receives
$4,000; the lord high chancellor of
England earns $4,000. and the lord
chief justice $4,000. We have eight
associate justices at s12.500 apiece
England has four lords of appeal in or
binary and a master Of the rolls at
$50, 900 each and q justices at $685.
O0C.
The attorney general of the United
States who has to enforce the laws
against twenty billion dollars worth
of trusts, has a salary of $4,000 a year
England pays an attorney general $685.
900 in salary and $29 500 in fees.
a proper increase in the salaries of
might be money well expended.

A BOYS Wares.

Cecil Potter Yeargin. of Oakland.
Ill.,. and. by the way, son of Mike
Yeargin. former city editor OF The
Argus. has been honored by Speaker
Cannon with the appointment as chief
page in the house of representatives.
This boy has charge of so pages and
draws a salary of $500 per year. That
is pretty big wages for a boy. and a
beginning in a wage earning career
which would ruin the average young
man.
Few men of experience and ability
draw so large salary Many men
with well established business instiru-
tions OF their own cannot net that
amount annually. Paying such big sal
aries - hoys as 81 $50 "a year or even
half Tat much is often dangerous
Easy-ohiained money. wages which re
quire - oct. pay much in excess
of the work required TO get the same
