University Head and Former Ed itor Says Hif^her Education Ought To Fire Young Caro linians To Make State‘^Gfeat. I Washington, Dec. 19.—Since a day <r two after Thanksgiving newiy- e]ecte<i senators and members of the house of representatives have been flocking into Washington to make their arrangement.s for the session which begins on January thini. They have occupied themselves with ar ranging for living quarters for them- .-elves and their familit*s, if any, and putting in their applications for par ticular offices they desire, which are about to be vacated by memlK*rs who were not re-edccteil. To most of these newconH*rs the atmosphere of Washington is not en tirely unfamiliar, but for many it Is the first experience of being on the insiTie~iooking out instead of on the outside looking in. Naturally, they have been making i inquiries as to what there is in their new jobs, besides the glory of being' in congress and the task of taking a hand in shaping the nation’.s law/. What they have learned about the money value of their jobs has frankly surjirisetl some of them. F'ew perstms (utside of congress realize what a cumfortalde position, financially, sen ators an«l rti>iesentatives occupy. There is the .•salary ,to start with; a year for «“ach member of »ach house. Thfii there is the mileage. Kvery svnator a;id represi-ntalive is entitK‘tl to draw 20 cents a mile for the dis tance from his home to Washington, whin the .sesjuon begins, and back home when th«* si^s.sjim end.s. For a metniier from Maryland or Virginia, who can get to Washington n an hour or two, the nuK«ge is not a big itsm; but a memlN-r from <'ali- fumia gets around $I,.TOO e»i*h ses- ^.<ln, while his ranroad fare, including 4 Ihillman lower berth, runs to less than $.‘100. making a thouiiand didlar- v.ear profit. He draws hi.s mileage I liat her he goes home b«‘tw een '♦•»- kions or not. Then corner the Item of clerk hue. Kas’h senator is allowed to hire four «.erk- and I'ncle .'iam allows him 8l0.ri2tt a year for that iMTvice The rdy restriction is that he may not call on the govemmi-nt to pay his secretary oi any other clerk more than $.‘1.9ui) a yiar 4T.'> a rntt-k. C>f course, h«' can |iay as much more as he want.- to out of his own |>ocket, and ther. are in.-varires of wealthy -enators who turn over their own •al ants to their -ixretailes. .Mu-t of •hem are m.*re thrifty, however. There i no rv-triction ufNtn whom a senator o. representative may em ploy. so mai.y i f them put their wives «>n the payroll a.- their secretaries and sometimes thei. s,,ns or daughters a* clerks, thu.s k«*ep.ng the money in the family. Vice-President Garnei’-i official sec- lelary for many years ha.- been .Mrs. darner, and it is only fair to say that in the o|iir^on <»f those who know, she does a magnificent job of managing the work of the vice-president’s of fice, a.s she did when he was a rep- lesentative in the lirwer house. Members of the hou.se of represen ts tive.s get only a $.5,000 annual al lowance for clerk hire, with the same limitation of $.'1,900 a.s the lop .salary officially paid to a secretary’. Then there is free postage. Sena tors and representatives have the “franking privi.ege.'’ They can .-end letter.* or any other .<6i-t of mail mat ter anywhere without using stamps. Another .«ource of revenue for the thrifty .senator or representative is The stationery allowance of $12.') a year. A member can use up his allow ance in carbon jiaper, rubbter band.s, erasers and typewriter ribbons, if he wants to; or he need not use any sla- tioneiy at aJl, in which case he can draw the full allowance In cash. Then each member has his own suite of private offices in the hand some marble buildings adjacent to the Capitol. The offices are all large and expensively furnished in solid mahog any and leather. Representatives w'ho are not chairmen of committees have to put up with two rooms; senators get three office rooms and a waiting room. There are private lavatories and baths attached to each of those suites, and a con.stant supply of clean towels and soap. A thrifty repre.sentative or senator really does not need to pay room- rent if he is unmarried; he can set up a ctmifortable deybed in his inner of fice and do all his sleeping there. The late Senator Park Trammell of Flori da lived in his office for several years and made no bones about it. Senators get other free services which not all representatives share. There is the senate garage, for in- stance, underground at the top of Capitol Hil. It' has uniformed at tendants, comforuMe loanguiC qoftr- Columbia. Dec.
