President Coolidge, in signing the
deficiency bill which carried with it

President Coolidge, in signing the
deficiency bill which carried with it
an increase in pay of representatives
and senators, did so because he real
lied the fact that the law gives the
constitutional right to members of
Congress to fix their own salaries.
While to thousands of persons thro-
out the land a salary of $4,000 a
year appears to be large sum, yet
when the expenses of a member of
the House, or Senate, are taken into
consideration, together with the ex-
tremely high cost of living in Wash
ington, it will be apparent to every
one that $4,000 a year will not ena-
BILE any congressman to become veal
thy, for the expenses of living in
Washington are far higher than they
are in many other parts of the Unit
ed States.

If the provisions of the ordinance
passed recently by the Town Council
and published in this issue of The
Republican for the purpose of inform
ing the residents of town of its ex-
istence are carried out, then in few
weeks we shall expect Oakland to be
the "spotless town." and it should be
from both a sanitary and prideful
viewpoint. Read the ordinance for
your own enlightenment and then
carry out its provisions and see that
your neighbor does likewise. 1t will
cost very little to make the town not
only beautiful but healthful.
