GOVERNORS, sAIAR1Es.

The refusal OF Governor Braxton
Bragg Conner to approve a bill rails
ing the salary of his successor has
caused the New York Commercial to
Investigate the question of guberna-
torlaI salaries and the facts thus found
afford food for thought.
In Alabama. they sought to raise the
salary OF the Governor from $4,000 to
$500. Alabama is one of the sixteen
States that pay their Governors $1,000
the year. There are three States that
pay only $500. There are seven in
which the salary is $4,000 and eight
pay $4,000. Wyoming. Vermont
and Nebraska think that $500 is
enough for a Governor. There are
thirteen States that pay salaries high
or than 5000. the range being from
$4,000 to $4,000. only one state, IL
llnois. pays the latter amount. Five
States pay $4,000 each. Alabama is
one OF the leading Commemorative in
the $4,000 group. colorado. Florida.
Oregon and Idaho are others in this
group. The Governors OF Alaska and
Hawaii, both appointive. get $4,000 the
year each. while the Governor of Porto
Rico gets $4,000.
