Educational Salaries

The bill proposing a regulation
of the salaries of the heads of
the various state educational in
stitutions, reported in the house
yesterday. will probably come
up for passage before the close
of the week. 1t was adversely
reported today.
Without stopping to discuss the
legal right of the Legislature to
establish maximum and minimum
figures governing the salaries of
the president Of the /. l..
& c., the chancellor of the Uni
versity, and the president of the
A. & NJ. College. it is contended
by the opponents of the bill that
such law would be an act of bad
faith, and in support of this con-
tention they point out that Prof.
A. A. Kincannon declined to ac-
cept the chancelorship of the
University at a salary less than
$5, 900 per year, and that it was
understood and agreed between
him and the board of trustees
that he should be paid that figure;
that Prof. II. L. Whitfield, pres.
ident of the Industrial Institute
& College, agreed to accept that
position under somewhat SIM
liar agreement.
The educational leaders in the
two houses, without exception,
are opposing the salary limit bill,
and are organizing their forces
for the fight. jackson Daily
News.
It might be regarded in bad
faith were these salaries cut be-
fore the expiration of their terms
which is to oe presumed, will ex
pre- either in June or September
next, but the people should un-
derstand and know that these
gentlemen are elected for some
definite and fixed time and not
for life. However, the masses
understand this. The salaries
of these gentlemen are believed
to be too high. They are ac-
ceptable and efficient. no com
plants or any objections to them

out the state. 1.-The educational
leaders in the two houses" are
not to be underestimated. The
only mistake they ever make is
in under estimating the masses
sometimes. Not only the preS-
idents of the institutions referred
to are paid too much. but too
large salaries are paid all along
the line.
