For us. Solons.

WY III Io-Js toIlcDliuittu 1ItSS
Association
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-More
and more reasons accumulate daily
to indicate to President Coolidge the
necessity of vetoing the legislative
appropriation bill carrying increases
for members of congress-.
Letters and messages to the presi-
dent reveal that the issue involved
has moi been lost on the country at
large. Business men who do not
think this is the time for an example
creasing wages think the economy
program OF the president will be
punctured IL he signs the measure.
Mr.. Coolidge. in wrestling with the
problem, significantly sent the bill
to the director of the budget. Tho
Item was not Inserted originally by
the budget bureau. Item after item
for worthy causes has been rejected
heretofore because 1t was not orig
inally within the budget. The MEM
beers of congress not only have gone
beyond the budget but they have re-
fused to go on record individually so
as to indicate the true responsible
ity of the majority in the. senate
and the house.
Mr.. Coolidge does not know wheth-
er the Republican party is standing
sponsor for the measure. thus afford.
ing a basis of attack by the Demo-
Gratis, or whether both parties are so
deeply involved as to prevent n par
ty issue from being made of the sal
airy increase.
Some suggestions are advanced
that the president might veto the
bill on the ground that he did not
wish to have the salaries of members
of his cabinet increased. This would
leave 1t to congress to decide wheth-
err. in requesting the bill. their own
salary increases would be retained.
An effort to force n record vote
might be made at such n time.
The president plainly does not like
the salary proposal. but feels that
he ought not, in a sense. Interfere
with what congress dces on such a
delicate issue. II. however, there are
no funds for the increase provided
in the budget, he has the executive
privilege of vetoing the measure on
the ground that the funds are not
available.
Perhaps the most ssIng
feature of the whole question. as 1t
is said to lie in the presidents mind.
is the era of xtrayarance which
might be ushered in IL the measure
il signed. Other appropriations
could not easily be opposed by con-
rress IL its own nav were voted in

Evidence introduced by the Chi
cago & Northwestern railroad in a
damage suit in which Gilbert
Colleges and w. G.. Beard. two

OF the boys had encouraged him in
t~respassing by taking him with him
in crossing the railroad yards.
