session there has been general recog-
milton that the lahorer is worthy oil

In connection with the proposed IN
crease Of the governor 5 salary, the
intimation is made that the legisla-
tors themselves might be expected to
consider seriously increasing their own
per diem. If the time has come when
there is to be any change in the pay
Of the representatives and senators,
The Messenger trusts that it will be
undertaken on different basis from
that which now obtains. A fat salary
is the proper method of paying these
men. The per diem is an indirect in
duccment to lengthy sessions.
There are only a few states which
have absolutely no limit on the pay
which legislators receive. Some effect
the limit through a fiat salary provi-
sion, some have the per diem scheme
but put limit either on the length
of the session or on the period for
which pay may be drawn. The lump
salary plan seems best adapted to Yer
mont, and if the legislature is deter
mined to consider the question of sal
airy, The Messenger hopes that this
method will be approved.
