few lines In your paper In regard To
what our est emed Representative
Payne OF New York had TO say in your
issue bf today IN reference TO increasing
the pay Of the men who make the Gov
eminent go, 1.-THE poor clerks.

stated that the clerks could be promoted
while the Senators and Representatives
could not. Evidently he doesn't know

for il is all based on pull and you
must stand IN with the ones who can
get YOU a promotion or you don't get H.

Cbesides themselves) for an Increase OF
salary. perhaps Mr. Payne would think
differently. but those gentlemen who
b. a rising vote put S2.500 in their pock-
cts each year must remember that the
clerk hasn't the power 20 increase his
