This is the declaration made by a
member of the Sixty-fourth Congress
His residence is Danville, Illinois.
His name is Joseph Gurley Cannon
A large portion of the working PEG
1le of the United States are employ
ed in basic" manufacturing indu:

According to these Government sta
tistics the wages paid to the adults in
the industries mentioned run from,
$1.66 to $3.50 a day for the S13 work,
ing days in year. Or from $500 to
$3.50 a year.
A man known as Congressman,
therefore, is paid $21.66 more a day
for his services than is man known
as a worker in the basic industries.
A man known as Congressman,
furthermore, if he lives fairly mod
estly" in the vicinity Of the Govern
ment law factory at Washington,
must pay 1872 for his living.
The living Of a man known as a
worker in the basic industries is lin
tied by his wages-$1.66 to $3.50 a
day.
This is cost-of-living difference Of
1852 a day In favor of the Congress
man who buy sa fairly modest"
living.
Consequently Representative Can
non is an interesting subject for the
wageearning student of industrial
relations.
Cannon is interesting in another
way. "As happy as happy can be" is
aphrase that adequately describes his
feelings.

his face beams with the Cannon
smile that will not come of.
This is the third time that Cannon
has been out Of a job in 43 years, an
average of once every fourteen years.
Consequently. employment bureaus do
not arouse much interest with him.
Cannon was elected to Congress the
! first time in 1872. He has been in
the House ever since with the excep-
ton of four years.
He was defeated in 1890, but carried
the election in '92. Defeated again in
1912, he won the ballot-box battle in
1914, and went bac kto his old job in
the Government lawfactory at the
opening Of the Sixty-fourth Congress.
According to Cannon. there are two
undesirable places for a man with no
income but Congressman's salary
and allowances. Washington is one
place. Congress is the other.

It is, therefore, reasonable to con-
clude that Cannon's average income in
wages from the Government has been
in excess of $500 year.
And the average price he paid for
his living? About $4,000 year.
There is no doubt as to the accuracy

The Congressional Record says that

was received with applause.

Cannon's colleagues would not be
surprised to see him introduce a bill
providing for raise In. wages for him

The process of subtraction indicates
that the working peoples representa-

themselves receive for operating the
