PAY FOR THE 1 LEGISLATORS. There perhaps has beeii some unnecessary criticism heaped upon Attorney Gen-; era; Arthur L. because of his onihion officially expressed as to the com stitutionality of the appropriation bill the present session of the legislature. The bill provided for the pay of the Members; of the legislature and it was in excess of what- was theretofore been allowed by VTERLO 6 PRESS, TUTTRSD A1f tJ Att 2 7 PAGE FOtJB i TIEE WATERLOO PRESS.

While there are those who are making an effort to do six days in five, it frequent-. ly is discovered that there are those who not do five days in When it come's to something good of Indiana, it is commendatory, that our governor has not been so liberal in showing clemency to the, inmates of the oenal as was "Ma" Furgeson, 'the first Woman governor of Texas before she retired from office. 1 The address given by Mr.

Raymond Bright, a deputy state health officer of the Indiana State Board of Health at the anniversary 'meeting of the Minerva club on Tuesday evening of last week, was one which the whole town could have profiled by if it were possible for them to have heard' him. Mr Bright touched on the subject of rabies and recommended that all owners of dogs should have them im-. munized, no matter whether the dogs are house pets or are allowed to run at large, If any owner, of a dog heard him they -could not help "but be fully convinced that he is right his statement.

Some of the democratic newspapers have been making it appear that there was a grave danger of this country getting into a war with Mexico. While it is nevertheless true" that there is a possibility of such a thing, yet. it is not at all probable.

It isvery evident that President Coolidge would do any reasonable tnmg to Keep this country out 01 any tanglements whatsoever, v' rv So far' as any real difference is concerned there is some indication, that attitude toward the United States.is more, of a bluff than, a threat. On the other hand it might be that Mex-; ico, is resting on the consciousness of the support of their "mother Russia, ana the friendliness of Japan, 'and perhaps on the hostility of European countries toward the United States, on account of the war debts owed by them. President Coolidge is justified in taking, the stand that he does by the longstanding American policy of the Monroe Doctrine and also the Nicaraguan treaty which we signed in -honor. The Monroe says to foreign nations, that in case of domestic troubles anywhere in this hemis- phere we will guard their interests as as our own if will keep their troops out arid that we will keep out of European u-Quoies ix iney win turn protect our interests there. -'v- s.y Ji we were to withdraw our marines at' Nicaragua, foreign troops would immediately go in to protect their own inter-(ests and trouble would be caused by the presence of the Western waters of foreign troops.

In the case of the treaty which we have with agree in exchange for an option canalrights in that country, to protect that country from all attacks, meamng external or internal. So when the legal and constitutionally elected government of iNfcaragua is attacked by Russia, through Mexico, through the rebel Sacasa, it is the honor bound duty of the United States to stick -to the Monroe doctrine and to their national agreement and. i protect the Nicaraguan government as; well as American interests law. Certain complications arose when -the bill was passed twb'years ago increasr the pay-pf the legislators, which then provided for the "increase to take effect when the 199 session convened. It.ap-y pears that held that the "repealing clause to the act into effect at the time of its passage and that the legislators "would not be given their pay at this ses sion at the old rate.

Hence a bill was pass- ed which "pas presumed to be fixnigthe pay and not increasing the salaries of the members. The governor wisely, under the circumstances vetoed the. bill which was" passed oyerv his -by both" branches! of the; Mr.v Gilliom was then cen-; sured for his opinion, which he based upon the law and the constitution; Following this' Lewis I S. Bowman, auditor of state, made it known that he would not pay the members at themew rate but that he was willing to issue pay checks at the old rate, 1 wmcn tney couia accept unaer. procest.

In; the matter, settled defin itely. an action was filed in the "superior court at Indianapolis" to mandate the auditor of state to pay the amount as hxed at the rate of ten dollars per'day. -f. There is no disputing the fact that uie members of the legislaEure are not sufficiently remunerated for their 7: At the same time every member was a candidate for office and was elected with full understanding; what; the pay was to be, that? at the 'rate of six dollars per day. -vi; Most of I the desired to be elected to the' general assembly for the honor, of-holding the office- and not for the pay.

It is unfair to criticism the state omcials for; they action, as none of them; believe: that the rate of six dollars per day is even decent pay for the services that are expected to be rendered "to. the; state of Indiana. If the courts hold that the members are entitled to the increase, then all is well and There should be no criticism made 'of Ijany 'official for doing his duty at any time. i No one could reasonably expect the -auditor of state to issue the pay checks ap desired by the members and take chances of being held personally liable for the excess in the amount-when the state's legal" department has rendered an opinion to the contrary.

For instance without 4 the functioning of the law any of the larger companies could enter a-town or city and cut the rates so low that competing com- panies woiild bev crowded out and ulti-' mately there would be increase rates result that the consumer would suffer.l:-::-,ri: The entire purpose of the public utilities law was to afford a protection for the consumer and 'the Utility companies as -well. this can be better done by doing faway'mthhe multiplicity: of companies in a community so much the better.
