WANTS TO KNOW
PAYBRYANWAnTS
Senator BTistOW Introduces
Resolution.
'C0MMONER" TO EXPLAIN
President Wilson Called Upon to
Name Sum Sufficient For Secretary
OF State.

Washington, July Ex-senator Bris-
tow introduced a resolution, aimed at
Secretary Bryan's recent statement
that he was obliged to go on lecture
tour because his salary of $4,000 a
year was insufficient, calling in Presi'
dent Wilson to report what salary
would be sufficient to enable Mr.. Bry-
an to remain permanently at his post.
The objection of Democratic sena-
tors prevented it's immediate consider
alton.
The Bristow resolution called atten-
ton to Bryan's predecessors, who sery-
ed with salaries ranging from $500 to
$4,000, and declared that mo one of
them was compelled to neglect the
duties of his office because of the
meagreness of the salary"
1t stated that the salary was in
creased to $4,000 in 1911, but that
1.-THE great Commoner who now occu-
pies that office has stated that the sal
airy is not sufficient to enable him to
live comfortably and that he is COM
PEELED to neglest his duties, and go on
the lecture platform to earn living.
Attention was called further to the
Mexican, Japanese, British and other
International questions before the
state department which, the resolu-
ton alleged, were not receiving full
consideration 1t ended by requesting
the president to give prompt attention
to the matter and report to congress
what salary would be sufficient so that
congress could relieve the country of
the great loss it suffers in being de-
prived of the services of the secre-
tary of state during the time he may
be in the lecture platform.
Reading of the resolution was greet
ed by broad smiles on the Republican
side of the chamber Senators Kern,
Lewis and other Democrats were on
their feet before it was concluded and
objected to its consideration. Under
the rules of the senate it went over.
Secretary Bryan, angered by the
criticism directed at his assertion that
he must lecture to meet his expenses,
made short preliminary explanation.
II did not mean to find fault with the
present government salaries" he said,
"and do not blame the high cost of
living" He said that his salary of
$4,000 is not adequate to enable him
to maintain himself a cabinet officer
and his home at Lincoln, Neb., and
added: "My explanation of the reason
will make the whole matter clear, but
1t will not touch upon the high cost of
living"
