I these progressive times.

III EuSSG progressive times.
 Things are different in Rhode Island where the wage rning member of the general assembly can mere than split even from a financial standpoint. There the life of the session is about three months and the members re- 1 legislators, although the Rhode Island rule is & a day for actual s-ttenu4uGe for a period not exceeding sixty days. In addition, however, the Rhode Island solons receive from the state trans portatiou allowance of eight cents mile for each round trip. To illus trate: The allowance to members from Westerly for transportation is SS day, which with the regular per diem of $ makes a total of SIS. The mem 1 bers procure q special monthly com mutation book good for one month for S1357, which brings the actual round trip price down to 70 cents, and net Q profit on transportation of S760 1 2 day. 4 fair days pay of itself, but to this is tackled the regular compen- S12.60. The legislators leave home after breakfast time and return home | in time for supper, but they probably 1 purchase dinner in Providence, or per 1 haps take d bite and sip at 8 help ! yourself lunch room.
 In addition the communication books 1 purchased by the legislators are good | for thirty round trips within Q. month and therefore can be used in other ] than legislative days. without any ad- ! ditiorai expense to the holders. To ! illustrate a little finer. the representa- l tives fro Westerly to the Rhode Is- l land legislature net about $7 a day, | each legislative day, while the repre- sentatives from the adjoining town of l to1ington pay an almost equal sam ! for the privilege of representing the l town in the Connecticut legislature, 1 whether il be wholly for transporta- ! ti0us.
 i The legislators of 1918 took the 1 initial step towards the amendment
 1 of the constitution in regard to trans portation of members, and like action
 1 by the present legislature is necessary
 ! in order to get the purposed amend
 ment to the constitution properly be-
 ! fore the people.

Especial to The BufIetin.1
 Hartford, Jan. iq.--It-- is definitely settled that the members of the pres ent general assembly, must pay for their own transportation to and from Hartford barring one single round trip which is paid by the state. The average session usually goes the. law limit of six months, but it is believed that the present session will not ex- ceed sixty legislative days and each member will receive compensation of $500, or s6 a day, which is not suf- ficient to pay car fare in some cases, and not enough to pay for transpor- tation and expenses in any case, when loss of time is computed. Therefore it is plain that members of the gen. eral assembly have to pay for the honor Of serving their constituency and the state. The average wage earner could afford to be g state leg islator when transportation was fur nished, and split even. but not so now
