LARGER SALARY
FOR PRESIDENT
AS PRESIDENT OF THE LARGEST
CORPORATION IN THE WORLD
HE SHOULD RECEIVE A SAL
AIRY IN PROPORTION.

Washington, Dec. 19.-Explaining
his bill for increasing the salaries OF
the president and vice president,
Senator Bourne Of Oregon today said
that aside from all sentiment in the
matter he would be of the opinion
that man big enough to be presi-
dent of the United States, the big
gest corporation in the world, he is
certainly as big in the business of
the government as the president of
a railroad or manufacturing enter
prise. and should be paid, as busi-
ness proposition, what the demands
OF the position would indicate as a
fair compensation.
The presidents salary has nsver
borne any relatively adequate pro-
portion to the mental and physical
work and worry Of the position.
which are annually increasing.
Bourne called attention to the fact
that the president Of France receiv-
ed salary Of $114.o00 and a like
amount for executive expenditures
Rourne's bill proposes to make the
presidents salary 100000 and the
vice presidents $4,000.

DAY SCHOOLS
FOR RESERVATION
THE CHnDREN llUsT 1E LEFT
AT HOl(E-EEW uEzIE1CE
INDIANS m CA1IYSIE AND
CHExAWA.

The second blow at the nonrsssr-
walton schools maintained by the
government tor the education Of the
Indians has been struck by the COM
missioner Of Indian affairs In his IN.
nual report. wherein he advocates
the establishment Of day schools
throughout the Indian reservations
and. where practical. to construct
portable school buildings that can be
moved about the reservation to
points where the Indians assemble In
large numbers during the different
seasons OF the year.
The nonreservation schools receiv-
ed their nrst setback at the hands Of
the Indian commissioner when an or
der was made prohibiting the agents
OF the various nonreservation insti-
tu,ions from visiting the reservation
for the purpose OF securing students.
As q result OF this order the Neg
perce reservation this year has sent
less than half a dozen students to
Carlysle. while last year a delegation
Of more than 30 Indian children
made the trip East in q private car
and under the care of representa-
tive of the big educational institu-
tion. The Indian school at Chema-
wa has suffered equally as much ~
Carlysle, and as number OF the
smaller OF the nonreservatiOn schools
have been omitted from the list oi
recommendations for appropriations
IT Is generally believed the passing
! OF the schools of this class has com
menced.
The Indian commissioner Is favor
able to the day school where the
younger pupils will be required tt
attend for three months each fal
and three months each spring. whii'
during the winter season the 0lde'
children shall receive their training
The plans as suggested provide fol
the maintenance Of gardening ant
orchard tract, shops of various kinds
and while the regular school classe'
will be conducted during certaii
hours Of the day the pupils will b.
given practical lessons in trades AM
all departments Of farming. Tn
MONDAY lunch will be served at tn
school, and here the lessons OF hom
life will be taught.
I II is believed the association o
the children with their parents eacl
day will result in a general Improve
ment OF conditions among the tribes
and while the children are reeeiV
ing their daily lessons at the govern
ment school the influence OF this In
struction carried daily into tn
homes will result In bringing the pa
rents to a higher idea OF home HE
The plan Of the department to In
augurate an inspection OF the India
, homes for the purpose OF improvin
the sanitary conditions will mate

. the general plan for a cooperatio
OF all federal departments for tn
