An election to congress will be regard ed henceforward as much more desira ble than ever before, thanks to the re cent increase othe salaries of members by 50 per cent. Seven thousand five hun dred dollars a year is an income large enough to furnish a strong attraction, independently of the glory to be gained through the exercise of an opportunity to legislate for the nation. As a mat ter of fact, there was small justice in the plea that $5,000 was not an adequate salary for a Congressmen a fact which becomes manifest when it is considered that the work required extends over only six months in the year, the balanc of the twelve-month being so much leis ure available for utilization in other ac tivities. Thus, for example, the lawyers in the House of Representatives devote their time between sessions, as a rule, to the practice of their profession. In urging the passage of the bill to raise congressional salaries, one argu ment used was that Washington was an expensive place to live in. The truth is, however, that such is very far from being the case. Apparently, the capital city has acquired this reputation through the circumstances that people are con stanstantly going thither on holiday making trips from all parts of the coun try. When they get home, they count the cost, and say, "Goodness me! what an expensive place Washington is!" But such trips always do cost a great deal of money, no matter where one goes, and certainly food costs no more in Washington than elsewhere, while rents are extraordinarily low handsome houses in the fashionable section being easily obtainable for $50 a month and the wages of servants a third less than in Philadelphia or New York. The necessary expenses of congress men are cut to a minimum. Not long ago each representative was provided by the nation with a secretary, at $100 a month; and at the present time two great apartment houses are in process of erection, at a cost of $5,000,000, one for the Senate and the other for the House, in which luxurious private rooms will be set aside for the use every leg islator. This sort of recklessness in squander ing the peoples' money should cease, and the way to begin the good work is to defeat at the ballot-box every mem ber of congress that voted for the salary-grab of $2,500, which is more than any of them ever earned at home.
