The Coconino sun., 1905-01-21

The Judiciary Committee or the Sen ate now has under advisement a bill introduced by Senator Gallinger last March providing that after the Fourth of March next the salary of the Presi
 dent of the United States shall be in creased from $50, 900 to S75, 900, of the Vice President, and House, from SS, 900 to sl5, 1000, of the Speaker of the House, SS,O to Sl2, 900 and of Sena- tors and Representatives from 5000 to Ss,OOO. Still more recently a bill was introducedin the House providing for salary of sl0O, ,000 for the Presi- dent, and also providing that Presi- dent after his retirement from office should receive $25, ,000 during his life. These bills are iu no way like the famous salary grab of the seventies when Congress voted itself not only increased salries but back pay, for the Senate recommendation states that the bill is not intended to- take effect during the life of lhe present Congress. It is interesting to observe with what uuanimity the desire for an increase of the salary of the President is felt. Almost without exception the senators and representatives declare themselves to be in favor not alone of an increase but of a permanent income for re- tired president. There is concen- GUS of opinion that the work of the President has vastly increased since the law was passed giving him a salary of fifty thousand dollars year, a year, and that compared with the compensation paid by other countries to their rulers the sum of Sl00, ,000 yearly would not be large. Concern ing the amount to be paid after the re- tirement of president many congress- men are emphatic in saying that it is the business of the country to see that her ex-presidents are provided for in a way that becomes the dignity of the office and the Nation. The Democrats in Congress who have been interviewed on the subject are of course less enthu- siastic for they have but one lex-presi- dent and Grover Cleveland is already wealthy man, and reflecting that Roosevelt is still a young man and after his term has expired would draw a salary for perhaps forty years, their indifference may be understood.

which at $1,000 per acre Is

DEAR MIR. SMITH:

DEAR MIX. SMITH:
Yes, the mayors action in tearing
up the South Park street railway has
affected values for more than two
miles on and in the vicinity of South
Hawthorne tract is only a little far
ther from the Maple avenue line.
And as our fully improved 50-foot
lots at from $425 to $500 are about 40
per cent cheaper than in adjoining
tracts you will still find that they
will make quick money for the buy
crs
OF course the mayor did the city
no practical good, as you suggest,
but he has just stated that Mr.. Hunt
ington once got him bounced from
fat job and we must all admit that
this is ample reason why he should
