LEGISLATORS PAY.

The amendment to the constitution
which the house voted yesterday to
submit at the next general election
should be adopted when the time
comes without a dissenting vote in the
state. 1t relates to the pay of mem
bers of the legislature, a subject con-
corning which reform is badly needed.
As was recently pointed out in these
columns, the present situation in the
Kansas legislature emphasizes the
need of some new basis on which
members of the legislature shall be
paid. Under the present constitution
al provision they receive three dollars
per day and mileage, provided that
they shall not be paid for more than
fifty days in regular session nor more
than twenty days in a special session.
The result is that early in the session
the work drags, yet the members draw
pay for every day. including Sundays
and days when no session is held.
Work piles up, and when the limit of
fifty days is reached the most impor-
tant measures of the session are still
on the calendar. Then the pay stops
and many members become impatient
to go home. The remuneration is
meager at best, and those who are
comparatively poor or who have bust
ness interests that are suffering be-
cause of their absence, think more of
those things than they do of pending
legislation. The result is that impor-
tant measures are compromised or
rushed through in incomplete form,
and the people are the losers in the
long run.
Under the plan proposed by the
house amendment. each member of
the legislature will receive a stated
salary of $500 for regular session of
the legislature, and 800 for a special
session, no matter how long or how
short the sessions may be. This will
be more like fair remuneration for
men of ability than the present per
hurry and rush at the close of the ses-
sion. The proposed amendment also
reduces the mileage from ten cents to
three cents a mile.
No legislature for many years has
completed it's work in the fifty days
contemplated by the constitution
when the state was first organized. 1t
will more likely require from IS to 100
days in the future to do the work
needed and to do it right.
The people will get chance to vote
on this proposition at the general cleo
ton next year. If it carries as it
sh ould, it will apply to the next legis-
lature. Then if the question of fur
Their maximum railroad rates demands
attention there will be no reason why
the legislat ure can not give sufficient
time to properly informing itself on
the subject and acting accordingly.

TWO CENTS IN NEBRASKA.

1t is announced in a dispatch from
Lincoln, that the Burlington railroad
officials have stated officially to the
governor of Nebraska that they will
not attempt to resist the new two-cent
fare law which has just been adopted
in Nebraska. and unofficial statements
are made that the Missouri Pacific
and Northwestern will also comply
with the Nebraska law without a legal
contest. The Burlington, it is stated,
will have its two-cent schedule ready
to go into operation tomorrow morn
ing.
The attitude of the railroads to-
wards this legislative enactment is of
considerable interest, inasmuch as
there is doubt whether a fiat two-cent
rate is sufficiently remunerative to
be constitutional in sparsely settled
states Nebraska's new law not only
calls for a fiat passenger rate of two
cents a mile on every road in the state,
but Nebraska is also the least thickly
settled of any state which has adopted
a two-cent fare law. If the railroads
were justified in resisting the two-cent
rate anywhere it would be in Nebras-
ka, and the fact that they are not do
ing so appears to be significant.
