SALARY RAISE.
Fairbanks, Cannon and Both
Houses Get Increase Wash
lngt0n Life Costs Big Money.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The sen
ate by a vote Of IS to 81 adopted the
house amendment to the legislative ap
preparation bill increasing from $4,000
to $500 the salaries Of senator's and
representatives and from $4,000 to So.
600 the salaries OF the vice president
the speaker of the house and the mem.
bers of the cabinet.
Mr.. Berry Dem, Ark opposed the
increases.
Il deny" he said, that senators and
representatives cannot live within the
salary of $4,000. They have done it,
He referred to the allowance fol-
clerk hire which members were former.
ly compelled to pay and to the state
ment that senators or members could
earn more in private life, saying:
II don't believe that one-half Of the
senator's and representatives could OF
did earn $4,000 a year in private life
One-half of the time of members only
is taken up by the sessions of congress,
and the rest could be given to private
enterprises. This time II devoted tc
private enterprises at an, rate
Mr.. Nelson (Rep.. MIN offered an
amendment. to strike OF. the salary in;
creases for senators ana representa-.
tives and in advocating his amendment
said that the United States paid sena.
tors and representatives more than any
other country in the world paid the
members of its legislative assemblies.
We are no here merely to work
for the government under contract for
a given sum-" said he, ''but we ac.
cept the place as a post Of honor"
Mr.. Lodge Mass.) advocated the in.
creases. Great Britain, he said, would
in his judgment be driven soon to adopt
the salary system for legislators, be.
cause under the nonsalary system now
prevailing only the rich could go to
parliament, and the poorer or working
classes were without a representation
from their own number. He drew a
picture of the condition of the late
Senator Hoar.
II never knew a man who cared 50
little for money! said Mr.. Lodge
Senator Hoar died a poor man. He
gave his life absolutely to the public
service"
Mr.. Mallory (Dem., Fla.) moved t.
amend by making the increase take Of
feet in March, 1913.
Mr.. Tillman Dem, s. c. pronounc,
ed Mr.. Mallory's amendment absurd
He thought it would not matter SO
much what salaries senators obtained
as far as what they did here was con.
cerned.

ALBANY, n. Y, Jan. 24.-After n
debate of more than two hours the SEN
ate by a vote of 40 yeas to 4 nays de-
cided to accept the gift of William
Pryor Letchworth of his estate, Glen
Iris, consisting of n thousand acres and
situated in Livingston and Genesee
counties.
The bill was passed MS it came from
the assembly and will be signed by
Governor Hughes. Nj. Letchworth has
succeeded In preventing his property
from ever falling into the hands of II
power company. Senators Armstrong
