SUGGESTS CUT IN PAY
r. A. Dewitt Believes 10 Per Cent Is
Least That Should BE Taken from
Ippislators' Salaries

Editor of The Phoenix -
As the time approaches for the towns
to choose who shall represent them in
the legislature of 1923 it is exceedingly
important that before any candidate re-
ccives encouragement, he Tor she) be
pledged to a legislative program of econ
omy and rctrenchment, which should be
the dominant issue of the session.
Along the line of constructive lcgisla-
ton. | believe bill should be introduced
early in the session reducing all salaries
including pay of senator's and representa-
tives, at least 10 per cent. A 20 per cent
reduction would be better, only l doubt
if n sufficient number of representatives
will be pledged to reduce the states
Overhead" so that n 20 per cent cut
could be accomplished.
After all. the moral effect of any re-
duction in salaries would be wholesome
and indicate good faith on the part of the
legislature, and certainly would have a
tendency to discourage subsequent bills,
CARRYING unnecessary appropr' atoms.
| do not believe the public service
would suffer as a result of reduced sal
aries, since there is never q shortage of
competent men and women willing to
take official position at whatever salary
is offered
The 1923 legislature ought to be gov
erned by business principles, not by SEN
tmental considerations, for there never
was such vital need of business admin
istration as at present and while we all
realize that a state government cannot be
run upon the same basis as n private
business enterprise, the states affairs can
nevertheless be conducted upon principles
of economy, and with some regard for
the taxpayers money, and unless the
legislature of 1923 approaches this issue
seriously and with a determination to
put such n policy over, we are going to
have a state tax assessed against the
towns far in excess of any burden as yet
mposcd-probably edollar tax rate,
if not more.
Yours respectfully,
FRANK A. DEWITT.
