Affecting the Secret Service.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Declaring
that If the government is to act with
full efficiency against criminals, it
must have some kind of secret service
agents who can 'act against Grimm.
ais anywhere" President Roose-
velt. in q statement made public in the
White house tonight, emphatically
reiterated his opposition to restricting
the field of secret service.
"The position of the administration
is" said the president, shat it is
against public policy to discriminate
in favor of criminals by discrimina at.
ing against the use of the secret serv-
ice to detect and punish Them"
"At no time has the president or
any Administrative officer claimed that
the restrictive legislation of the last
session affected the secret service d.
vision of the treasury department in
the matter of s%uppressing counterfeit
ing or protecting the president. AS a
matter of fact the Limitation did not
apply in the slightest degree to the
normal function of that service, and
the claim that the secret service was
not hampered in looking after coun-
terfeiters is admitted; but the asser.
ton that the restriction was harmless
to the governments interest is not
correct"
The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1909-02-10
THE PRESIDENTS SALARY.

If q bill that is under considers tior
by congress is enacted into law, the
salary of the president will be in.
creased to 800, 900 q year. Efforts
are being made to pass the bill at the
present session, and If the proposition
carries Mr.. Taft will receive just
double the salary of his predecessor
In the presidential Office.
The bill was introduced by Senator
Bourne, of Oregon, who believes the
president of the United States receives
less ~pecuniary reward than the duties
of his position merit.
"The president is charged" says
Senator Bourne, with graver and
greater responsibilities than any
other person In the world. The cares,
a~ttentiveness, alertness and elimina-
ton of personal interest necessary for
good service are q continuous and
terrific strain on the mental and physi-
cal vigor of the chief executive. The
tenure OF life Of the presidents since
and including the elder Harrison has
decreased perceptibly."
Senator Bourne calls the attention
of the senate to the fact the president
Of France receives sl14, 600 as q per.
sonal salary and q like amount for
executive expenses. he says the COM
parison does our country no credit
when it is remembered that our nation-
al wealth is estimated at S127, OOO, O0O,.
600 while that of France is estimated at
s54, 600, 900, 900.
A Washington correspondent, in
discussing the proposed presidential
salary increase, says that in addition
to his salary of $50, 600 there is q fund
of s25, 600 appropriated by congress to
defray travelling expenses. This fund
is moi available for any purpose ex-
cept presidential trips, and if the pre-.
sident does not travel it is not used.
In addition to salary and travel the
president has the use of the white
house free of rent. This includes fur.
nishing, heat, light, and the necessary
service to keep the building in proper
condition. 1t does not, however, in
olude the regular force of house serv-
ants. The government provides q
steward at l 1900 a year, and a few
regular house attendants, mostly
colored, who have been in the white
house for many years, some dating
from Lincoln's time.
The president pays his own cook,
%laundress, and all of the house serv.
ants who are employed in the living
part of the building. He also pays
for all food brought into the white
house, including all dinners, private
or state.
The president is also supplied by
congress with a ''contingent fund" of
S25, 900, to be used by the president at
his discretion in hiring laborers, buy.
ing stationery for the executive Office
and keeping up the stables connected
with the white house.
