Hoover Slashed His Own Salary And All
 Cabinet Officers
He Cut His 20 Percent and the Rest Is Percent - Meanwhile His Friends Are Trying to Change the Drys

Washington, July 15.-(UP)- President Hoover today cut his sal- ary 20 per cent and ordered reduc- tions of IS per cent in the pay of the vice-president and cabinet members.
 Instead of $75,000 yearly, MT Hoover will now receive $60,00O and the vice president and cabinet members will get $12,750 instead of $15,000.
 The presidents salary cut was on his initiative, the cabinet mem bers' reductions, under the econ omy bill but with their concur renee that 1t should be a maximum cut.
 In making the cabinet reduc- tions, the White House issued the following statement: s&
 The president has received the unanimous request from members of the cabinet that they should be subjected to the maximum reduce tion on salareis possible under the economy bill. The president has, therefore, issued the necessary or ders by which they will be reduced 15 per cent instead of the alterna- LlN0 WAIICIl WOuiA eAAAONAAS " " - per cent under the furlough pro- vision.
 "The Constitution stipulates that the presidents salary cannot be changed by congress during his tenure of office. The president therefore personally directed the treasury to make the 20 per cent reduction on his own initiative. The presidents salary was raised to S75,O0O when William Howard Taft became president in 1908."
