VERY BUSY ARE
THE CONGRfSSMEN
The Pay and Requisites OF an
OyerwOrked Bunch OF
Statesmen.

Answering an inquiry as to the
salary and prerequisite allowed the
President and members of Congress,
the st. Louis Post Dispatch says:
Salary of President, $4,000 and
S25, 900 travelling expenses; Vice
President, $4,000. Senator'S and
Representatives draw $4,000, with
$1,000 for a clerk. whether they
hire one at any price or none at all.
Most of them do not, making their
compensation $4,000. Then they
have 1925 for "stationery" and the
privilege of franking anything
through the mails from grand
piano up or down. In addition to
this a stately and costly office build
ing has been built for them at I'M
mense expense, with 400 rooms and
.'all the modern conveniences.
They are allowed 20 cents for every
mile, coming and going. A state
ment of the goods held in store by
the sergeant-at.arms of the Senate
shows some interesting articles one
would scarcely expect to find
among the necessities of running
the National Legislature. Here is
the list: Thirty.three bottles of
colonge, II ice picks, so funeral
regalias, II bath brushes, 3 gallons
alcohol, cakes shaving soap, 70
nail brushes, u bottles hair tonic,
! funnel, half gallon copper meas
ure, lemon squeeZers, lS6 glas-
ses. There many other things
equally as odd. Glancing at the
Senate in session from the galleries
it requires no stretch of magma
ton to guess the need of hair tonic.
The colonge, the nail brushes and
bath brushes are accounted for by
the official barber shop in the capi-
itol, but the Is6 glasses are open to
a slight suspicion. The average
Congressman does not labor as hard
as a Missouri legislator. Congress
lasts about ninety days in the year,
1t meets at ~ o'clock noon and sits
on an average not more than foul
hours day. In the house about
twenty-five members do all the talb
and labor of that day.

my sensibilities.
