Senator Gallinger of N W
Hampshire nipred in the bud a
scheme to boost the salaries of
some of the attorneys, special a
gents and examiners in the re-
Gently organized Federal Trade
Commission. Under the leader
ship of Senator Hollis, a Demo-
crat, a plan was on foot to raise
the pay of these assistants from
$1,000 a year to $500, which
would have caused the reduction
of the small-salaried clerks, in
order to get the money to boost
these well-paid attorneys. Sen
ator Gallinger said: "If larger
salaries are given to the lawyers
of the Commission, certain other
employees drawing smaller salar-
les would of necessity be dismiss
ed, because it is not proposed to
increase the appropriation. It
has been the custom in this body
for senators to make appeals fol

The way some of the leading
Democrats, most of them from
the South, opposed aid to the fa-
miles of soldiers who enlisted for
service in Mexico, caused consid-
cradle unfavorable comment a.
bout the capitol. The fact that
men prominent in that party in
the Senate succeeded in defeat
ing the proposition occasioned no
end of discussion. Many Repub-
licans have been heard to express
the view that it is the duty of
this nation to care for the wives
and children of the soldiers. They
say that it is cheaper than main
tanning a great standing army
and that the humane act is an
encouragement to the volunteer
to enlist.
