Barometer of Public Opinion

Editor World: The matter OF the salary OF
okahoma's governor seems to be attracting
some attention, and think all persons interested
In clean government agree that Il is grossly
inadequate. But why speak only of the gov
crnors salary allowance when the same logic
applies to every office Of our state government
For instance. the one office that most nearly
performs the function OF standing between the
public interests and all forms OF graft is the
state auditor, and he receives hut $2,5OO a year
for this service. Three other state officers re-
ceive hut $2b00 per year, to-wit Secretary OF
state, superintendent OF public instruction and
president OF the state board Of agriculture,
while the state treasurer and state examiner
and inspector receive but $4,000. These sal
aries are all less than IL paid 10 county officials
In all Of the larger counties Of the state.
And Yet when a nil was introduced in the
last Legislature TO revise the salaries OF all state
officers and place them On at least a basis that
would permit honest mon to serve, live decently
and break even at the end Of their term It was
promptly reported out OF committee with recon-
mendation that II do not pass. An attempt to
have II considered on It's merits by the house
did not receive half the time Of the members
as they gave to bill 10 revise the fees relating
to justices ot the peace. great many bills
were enacted increasing the salaries OF county
officers judges, and others but a proposition
TO pay state officers a living wage went into the
discard without serious discussion.
The asslntuity OF tho law is emphasized by the
governor may spend 5000 and all other state
candidates $500 in their primary campaign
merely TO secure nomination for those lily
compensated places. No wonder that Charles
Dickens had "Bumble" say, "the law il "A ass "
hut now we are about To select another set OF
state officials TO serve for four years and under
the constitution q is doubtful II their salaries
may be changed after their election. although
specially appointed supreme court held con-
stitutional the law increasing the salaries OF
the judges OF the supreme court during the
term for which they were elected, Just give
a little time to reflection on the man who viii
spcnd 81 500 to secure a nomination and then
bear tho expense additional OF campaign for

men interpret their certificate OF election as a
license to steal?
