RAISED RATE OF PAY
MADE OBLIGATORY
Congress Members Must Ac-
cept Increase, Is Controller
MCCarIs Ruling.

Members of Congress must take
the increase in pay they voted to
themselves in the closing days of the
session, but if they are troubled by
any qualms of conscience that they
are not earning all of it, they may
return some to the Federal Treasury
as gifts.
This is the ultimatum of Controller
General McCarl, whose rulings have
often frightened the Governments
purse strings. in reply to an inquiry
from Joseph G. Rodgers, sergeant-at-
arms of the House, who asked advice
regarding what he should do when
some members refuse to accept the
increase.
Only One Check Permitted.
The controller advised that the
rate of pay fixed by law must be
accepted, and that only one check
could be issued each pay day"
Otherwise, he said heirs or repre-
sentatives of any member thus de-
Ginning a part of his pay could at
any time make a claim for it.
several members Of the House
have taken the position, Mr.. Rodgers
informed the controller, that they
should be paid at the former rate
of $500 year, and asked for checks
on that instead of the new $4,000
basis One member, he said, had de-
clined to sign the pay roll because
the increase was included. SO Mr.
Rodgers found himself with money he
could not dispose of. and he sought
way out of the situation from Mr..
McCarl with these questions:
Can I accept from a member
salary certificates calling for an
amount less than that provided by
law?
IF member desires merely to
accept the old salary, is it not neces-
sary for US to pay him uniformly
with the rest and have him make his
own restitution to the Treasury?
Can l, in carrying out the new
provision of law for payment, issue
two checks to a member. one for
the old salary and one for the in
creased payment"
McCarI Answers "No."
Mr.. McCarl said NO" TO all three
queries.
THE accounts of the Government"
he added, ARE entitled to be kept and
payments made so that the trans
actions will appear therefrom as
closed, and if one does not for per-
sonal reasons wish to retain the
whole amount which the law pro-
vides he shall be paid. he is free to
remit back to the United States such
amount as he does not wish to re-
tain, with a statement of the rea-
sons therefor. The transaction then
will appear as an acquittance to the
United States of any future claims
for the salary, and the remittance
back made by the individual is in
the status substantially of a gift to
the United States, which may prop
erly go into general fund of the
Treasury"

RAILROAD PARK
in GOOD CONDITION
Walks To Be Constructed in
Near Future Benches
Are Also To Be
Placed

The park on Main street which
has been remodeled and improved so
beautifully the past summer, is to
have the finishing touches put to It
in the immediate future The plan
Is to place walks inside of the fence
on the two ends and the side 'front.'
ing on Main street with permanent
benches thereon for the convenience
of the public This system is con-
eidered best because of the fact that
with the benches made permanent on
walk the lawn will not present a
worn and spotted appearance as
would be the case where the bench
es could be moved at will The walks
on the ends and front have been de-
cided on because It will reduce the
wear on the lawn and the preserya-
tion of straight lines on a park so
small Is, according to the landscap-
ing science, more symmetrical.
To Frank Wilcox and the City
parq board much praise is due for the
beautiful results they have obtained
at such low cost and without fric-
tion of any kind We hope that their
plans for finishing and beautifying
the two west units on Main street
will be carried through in as sue
cessiul and economical manner
We need these beauty spots In our
city and we are. indeed, fortunate in
having public spirited citizens who
will work on public affairs In such a
harmonious manner and produce
such artistic results.

WATER USERS
DISCUSS PROBLEMS
Re adjustment of Project to
BE Undertaken District
Takes Purchase Under
Amusement

At an open meeting in this city,
last Friday evening, the water users
under the Cooperative and Gilmore
Farms Systems, met with S. E. Brady
of Pocatello, and the contemplated
purchase of the irrigation systems,
now being operated by the Brady
interests, by the new Mountain
Home Irrigation District, was in
formally discussed at length.
With but a few minor difficulties
in the way it now appears that a
complete re-adjustment Of the pro-
ject will be consumated and, in that
event, the farmers on the irrigated
lands in this vicinity will be assur-
ed of a better water supply and
more equitable distribution.
If the systems are acquired by the
district, it is contemplated that a
large amount of necessary work will
be done this fall, on both the stor-
age and distribution works in order
to avoid any danger to the water sup
ply for next year.
The work which the district ex-
poets to do this fall, is that work
which was outlined, in detail, by Mr.
Spafford, the districts engineer, as
being necessary to the proper opera
tion and safety of the project.
