those who voted for the increase. Some
four or five years ago members of con-
gress again raised their own salaries 90
per cent, from $1,000 to $500. They
also provived many luxurious sur
roundings for themselves. Two oilice
buildings, one for the house and one
for the senate, were built at a cost of
some "a, 600, 900 each, and they are pal
aces. Each member has magnificent
suite of offices, free baths, BARRIERS,
messages, manicures, stationery, pri-
vate secretaries, the ranking privilege
and all such, entirely free of any cost
to himself. An effort was made just
before congress adjourned for the holt
days to reduce the mileage allowance.
AS this was, in many instances, a very
considerable addition to the salary, it
failed. The member from California
pays a maximum of cents mile and
gets 20 cents a mile therefor, thus saw
ing II cents a mile, which he never
fails to convert into his private funds.
AS result, he is paid many hundreds
of dollars more for his services than
the member from Baltimore, or the
Alexandria district, or any other near
point The aggregate is not large when
stacked up against the total eXpendi-
ture made annually for all other pur-
poses by congress, but it is big enough
to be graft, pure and simple, or rather,
impure and ingenious. The reduction
should be sufficient to merely cover
each members actual travelling expen-
ses to and from the capital. That is
fair and it is right.-Memphis News.

CANDIDATE MASSEY
CAPTURES JOHNSON Co.

Mountain City, Tenn, Jan. Cir
cult court convened yesterday, Judge
Harmon and Attorney General Vines
being present. There being a very
light docket, the court adjourned this
afternoon.
DR.. Y. d. Massey, candidate for con-
gress to succeed Congressman Sells, was
present and addressed large audience
at the noon hour. He dealt with his
record while in congress and assailed
Congressman Sells for what he termed
as a failure as congressman.
Mr.. Massey has drawn a great deal
of strength from the Sells forces, while
Mr.. Sells has been able to capture some
of what is known as the Brownlow ell
ement and the fight in this county bids
fair to be hot one. Two months ago
it would have gone overwhelmingly
for Sells, but today the Massey senti-
ment is assuredly in the ascendency.
DR.. Massey seems to be well pleased
with the outlook in this county in re-
ference TO his candidacy.

THE FIRST GOOD ROAD

Washington county is now about to
go into good road building and will
construct this year main thorough
fare from the Greene county line to the
Sullivan county line. Naturally the
eyes of the whole county will watch
this first effort, and The Comet wants
to urge the commissioners and engi-
neer TO guard we'll the county's inter.
ests and see that we get road that
cannot be criticised for being below
standard In any particular. The speci-
fications must first be right and the
contractor must be made to understand
that no deviation will be permitted,
whether he loses or makes money. A
road will not answer; it must be the
best the money will build, and the
commissioners can do the people
great service by playing no favoIities
but the county's welfare. Upon the
character of this road will depend the
future development Of the county in
this line, and large bond issue is sure
to follow if this venture is satisfactory.
1t occurs to The Comet that the coun-
ty might build this road under the
workhouse commission, and not only
get a better road but save the profit
that the contractor must have. The
necessary equipment to build the road
would have to be purchased by local
contractor out of his profit, and the
county could save money by buying it
AMI owning it for future building and
repairing The detail of this plan can
be worked out by the commissioners,
If found desirable, and several thou.
san dollars saved to the county.
