THE PRESIDENTS SALARY.

For q number Of years an effort has
been made from time to time to In.
crease the Presidents salary from $780,.
600 to 100000. The salary has stood
at its present figure since the '7Os, and
the generation that has passed has,
as every one knows, witnessed such a
change In the requirements for living
that old incomes will no longer sui.
flee. In official station, where there
II no escaping to a simple life. the
pressure Ii more serious than else.
where. OF course the Presidents house.
hold Ii far from being confined to
what $4,000 year will procure, even
as the case now stands. In lieu OF
increasing his pay many items Of ex.
penditure which might have been
charged to him have been specially
provided for by Congress. In part
the Government pays for the presi
dental stables and In part for the up
keep OF the White House. The $5O
600 year Is merely what passes
through the Presidents own private
purse. The Senate finance COMMITTEES
has reported favorably a bill for In
creasing the salary to 100000. and II
seems probable that the increase will
be made in one Of the regular appr0
priation bills at the present session Of
Congress, SO that President-to-be Taft
can get the benefit OF II. There should
be no opposition to legislation 20 mani
