MR.. McADoo's SALARY.

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo,
who is to leave the cabinet very soon
and who will quit as director gen.
eral of railroads in January, is the
recipient of more offers of good jobs
than any other man in the country.
Big business concerns are after his
services and are willing to pay him
as much for one month as the gov
eminent pays him for whole year. A
man of his capacity and proved ability
can dictate his own salary when sign
ing up with business establishment.
Mr.. McAdoe frankly states in his
letter of resignation to the President
that his principal object in getting out
of public life is to look after his pri-
vate business interests. And when one
considers the SMALL not to say mig
gardly, salaries paid by the govern
ment to it's responsible officials, it is
easy to understand why any man of
limited means should take such step.
Mr.. McAdoo's. salary as Secretary of
the Treasury is $4,000 year; he re-
ceiyes no additional compensation as
director general of railroads. During
the past year and a half he has floated
nearly $4,000, 100000 Of government
securities and has handled more bill
lions of public funds than any other
man in the history OF the world
Though working for small salary him
self, he is not an advocate of small
salaries. He pays the regional di-l
rectors' of the railroads $4,000 a year,
and one of his first official acts as d.
rector general was to raise the pay of
all the employees.
There are very few men holding high
Office under. the government who do
not fill these placeseatia very material
financial loss. AS rule they have to
draw upon their private means or ex-
ercise rigid economy to make both
ends meet This is especially true of
cabinet officers, judges and diplomatic
officers Mr.. McAdoo is not the first
cabinet member to resign because he
could not afford the financial sacri-
fee of remaining in Office. 1t is recall
ed that the late Charles Emory Smith.

resignation as Postmaster General,
