SUNDAY in Cauda.

Canada's new Sunday observance
law. known as the Lords day act, went
into operation with the first of the
month and was enforced for the first
time last Sunday. While the law pro-
vides for strict observance of the day
ii is not calculated to work any par
ticular hardship on any class.
The act says, ''it shall not be law
ful for any person on the Lords day.

provincial act or law now or hereafter

chase any goods, chattels, or other
personal property, or in connection
with such calling, or for gain to do. OF

day any work, business or labor"
Ii is expressly stated, however. that
works of necessity and mercy are not

Pay of Legislators.

Representative Cermak has intrOduc-
ed a bill in the lower house of the state
Legislature increasing the salaries OF
Legislators from $1,000 to $4,000. with
mileage and $50 for stationery eXpens-
es. The raise of the salary to s., 900
is not an injustice to the taxpayer, but
there should be no allowance for mile
age or stationery.
The members of the legislature are
not sufficiently paid. 1t is not posi-
BILE for stranger TO live decently in
Springfield on so day. A legislator
is kept in touch with Legislative events
and frequently meets and confers with
his fellow members and visiting con.
stituents must put up at one of the
leading hotels.
This at the start entails an expense
of 81 a day. and does not include 9th
or reasonable and legitimate expenses
The present salary was adopted
years ago when conditions were much
different. and since then the cost OF
living has advanced from 80 to 40 pei
cent. The members in their frequent
APPOINTMENTS are provided with passes
by the railroads, and if this dead-heaI
system were TO continue the present
salary would be ample. But it is Ger
tain the pass evil is to be abolished
and as the sOlOns are to pay for trans
portatiOn, it is an argument in favo
of boost in salaries.
If the legislators would adjourn les!
often and begin law making early in
stead of late in the session, the peopl,
would uphold them in increasing thei
pay. They have been in session twC
months and have done practically moth
ing. Time is needlessly frittered away
business man, paying the same at
tention, or rather lack of attention, t,
his business, would be driven to til,
wall by more enterprsing and indus
triOus competitors.
To shorten the session and cOmpc
legislators to work, the session shOul,
not exceed 100 days and no bills Shout
be introduced after the 25th of Febrr
airy.
If these reforms are introduced an
the pass evil abolished. the people vii
be willing to pay their legislative serN
ans a salary of $4,000.
