OTHMAN WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. (U.R3-- The highest paid legislature in history, with exception of one which wore night shirts trimmed in purple, goes to work here Friday Jioon. Only lawmakers who ever earned as much as the members of our own 80th congress were the senators under Constantino II during the decline of the Roman empire; they collected gold, dmiponds, elenhnnt tusks, and ppi.r'jck feathers. Most of "'em also dad their heads chopped off.

Our congress de luxe Is in no such jeopardy. At least, not literally. Kach senator and representative earns 815,009 a year. Actually it is equal to a little more than thai because $2,500 of his Income is listed as expense money and is not subject to tax. He also receives for the first time a pension for his old age and if he's speaker of the house or president pro tern of the senate he gets a salary of $20,000 a year, plus that $2,500 in expenses.

"Pwas not ever thus. I have been snooping in the dustier archives.of congress and I can report that the givers of our laws have been worrying about their own pay ever since the British were chased out. In we paid our congressmen Ji( a day for every day they actually worked. If they took day off we docked, 'em. One of these pay rolls, showing how our early senators were nicked fur every day they ftillc'l to show on the job, is on display in the senate clerk's office.

The boys struggled along until 1818, when they were smacked by the high cost of living. They searchon 1 their souls and they raised their wages to $8 a day. In 1806 congress took itself out of the labor class and voted the members an annual wage of $5,000. This struck the taxpayers as a little steep, but they said nothing and what happened? Congressmen raised their wages again the following year to $7 500. This was a mistake.

The citizens wrote letters; the editors penned editorials, and the politicos trembled. They apologized to the nation for their greediness and they cut back their pay to $5,000. This also was the year that deductions from absenteeism stopped mysteriously. Nobody knows why to this cla.v, but not. since 1867 has any co essman failed to receive his fiili check because he played hooV.ey.

The law's still on the books, however, my authorities say it could be enforced if wanted to be strict with congress. Not until 1907 did the con- pressmen raise their wages again. They made the fee oner more and this time it stuck. 1)5 1925, over the protest of the late Sen. William E.

Borah (who congressmen weren't worth that much), their salaries went up to $10,000. They remained, despite halfhearted attempts to get pensions and the house of representatives' decision of a couple of years ago to give itself an expense account. The new $15,000 wage, phis a regular pension system, was adopted last session a part of the streamlining plan. While I was about it I checked with the legislative reference service, where the man said there was no doubt our lawmakers are the best paid by far In the world. Runners up are members of Britain's house of commons, who get about $1,500 a year and have to spend most of that on railroad fare.

Lawmakers on the European continent are worse off still; the members of the Dutch parliament, for instance, get about $5 a day for days they actually work. I'm not complaining, you understand. All I want is for the best paid congressmen to do the world's best job; It's my money and I'm going to keep an eye on 'em. Bobby Posten, 4-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
