Luxuries Commanded by a

Woodrow Wilson is the first Presi-
dent of the United States to receive a
salary of $4,000 a year The law in
creasing the salary of a President from
$4,000 to $4,000 was enacted during
the administration of President Taft.

crease. which became effective after
MS successor had become the nation s
chief executive.
10 the average individual a salary
OF $4,000 per annum would seem like
untold. unimaginabIe wealth. For that
matter. it isn't a salary to be spurned.
though in comparison to the emolu
ments of some of Europe's sovereigns
1t is pitifully paltry. There are more
than handful of men in the United
states in private employ whose an
nual salaries dwarf that of the Presi-
dent into comparative insignif1cance.
But the Presidents salary isn't the
limit of his official income as director
OF the nations destinies. There are
perquisites. and they are not small.
either; and if it We're not for these
perquisites no man whose wealth is
not counted in the millions could af
ford to be President or could even as
p1re to the presidency.

other things that serve very we'll in
the stead of such list.
For example. the President. whoever
he may be, is expected to do consider
able travelling each year He is called
on to visit this. that and the other part
of the country. and he must travel in
style and dignity BETTING his po-
sition. Presidents must not accept ia
vors from railroads: they must pay
their way. And they must likewise pay
the way of their secretaries, stenoG-
these trips is necessary.
Such an outlay would certainly re-
suit in one of two things: Either the
President would speedily become bank
rupt or he would eliminate his travels
almost completely. So Congress provides
for this with one of the handy little
perquisites in the form of travel al
lowance of $4,000 year. Up jumps
the presidential gross income to $780,
900 per annum.

Cost of Keeping Up

that chefs assistants. II buvs the

that are necessary.
These are not all of the perauisites
OF the President. but they serve to give
an idea of how literally are provide,
for the expenses attendant upon being
President. A salary of $4,000 year
would not go very far toward main
tanning the state and dignity attaching
to the Office of President of the Unit ed
States. so Congress simply has to be
liberal. An idea of this liberality NAV
be gained from the fact that appro-
priations for the use of the White
House-presidential perquisites. if you
please-in one recent year reached the
very handsome total of close to hall
million dollars. That amount is lust
about what it costs to keep Presi-
