Why Noel Favored the
Fixed Salary Basis

Following explanation of Senator Noel
of his vote against the bill to increase
the governors salary, H. B. No. s, as
carried by the Associated Press:
"Mr. President: Votes generally, but
not always, speak for themselves. | am
opposed to suspendipg or disregarding
constitution or senate rules made to pro-
vide opportunities for deliberation and
second thought in the interest of any
special measure or man; and, in this mat
ter, at the start, insisted on the regular
procedure, declining to waive compliance
with any rule.
Contracts made between individuals
or aggregation of individuals should be
observed and enforced. Election by the
people of man to fill an office, having
a fixed salary and acceptance of that Of
fee constitute a contract to perform the
duties of the Office for its prearranged
salary. If an executor, administrator or
any representative Of other people or
even the members of the board Of super
yisors of county, made contract with
a man to do certain work for a year or
four years, and then altered that contract
after it was made by increasing contract
price, the law would hold such executor
or supervisor personally and officially re-
sponsible for the difference between the
agreed price and the increased amount.
don't see that we legislators occupy any
different position morally, though we may
not be civilly liable for change in con-
tract between the people of the state and
state officer whom they have elected on
a fixed salary basis. The matter is
wholly different if we were acting in an
individual capacity and chose to take
from our own pockets money and give 1t
to an employee or anyone else; but such
individual right does not carry with it
the right to use the public positions TO
take from trust estate a salary in ex-
cess of that originally agreed upon by
the people whom we represent in this
matter and the candidates whom they
elected to Office on a fixed salary basis,
known by the people and the candidate
at the time of the election. II men are
elected and find that the high cost of liv-
ing or other cause stands in the way Of
their filling the office, they can resign,
and re-submit the matter to the people
to elect someone who will fill the Office on
the terms agreed.
my vote in this matter, is not cast
upon the ground that $500 is an un-
reasonable salary for governor of Mis-
sissippi, for | think it is not, but upon
the ground that all of the long list Of
state officials elected to Office on fixed
salaries should serve for those salaries
for the terms for which they were elected.
From the report in the papers, | notice
that a bill has been introduced increasing
tn. salaries Of officers of the state, com
mencing with the governor and ending
with the legislators, one hundred per
cent, with the others ranging from 33
per cent to 300 per cent, including sal
aries for the lieutenant governor and
speaker Of the house for their whole
time, when their duties of Office scarcely
occupy one-eighth Of their time, leaving
them wholly free, except in rare emer-
gencies, for two whole years Of their

Why Is HEADACHE?
Various Causes For This Com
mon Affection
Anemia or Bloodlessness q
Very Common Cause
Pepto-Mangan o we're o I'M Q o
Anemia and Tends to Pre-
vent Headaches

When one has an occasional headache
it is usually due to some transient or
passing cause, such as indigestion, eye
strain, over-tiredness, etc When, how
ever, one suffers from frequent periodic
headaches there is always some special
reason for it. Among the most common
of such reasons is Anemia or Bloodless-
ness This condition is especially FREE
quent among girls and young women and
those whose occupations or habits Of life
keep them too much indoors. The one
important necessity In such cases is to
build up the quantity and quality of the
weak and watery blood. GUIDES Pepto-
Mangan is exceptionally valuable for
this purpose. 1t increases the number
and improves the quality Of the red blood
cells, those vital little bodies which carry
nutrition to all parts of the body IL
improves the appetite, imparts color to
the face, and restores health and strength
to the body generally. After short
course of Pepto-Mangan the headaches
decrease in frequency and severity, and
finally disappear, if they are due to Ane-
mia, Pepto- Mangan may be had either
in liquid or tablet form, as preferred.
When buying Pepto-Mangan be sure the
name "Gude's" Is on the package. With
out "Gude's" it is not Pepto-Mangan.
